Niall's POV:

Since Louis walked out, I've just been sitting on the hotel bed, thinking everything over.

After everything he's been through for Harry, he still doesn't want to mess this up for the band. He's got so much compassion its practically flooding out of him.

Why can't he let us do this one thing for him?

Why can't he let us in?

My train of thought is interrupted by a gentle knocking, followed by Zayn entering. He looks a little agitated but he hides it well.

He always has been good at hiding his emotions. Since day one.

"Hey, Ni, I, uh, just came to tell you that we're leaving in half hour; Paul doesn't trust us to get to the airport on time." He chuckled.

"Where were you?"
"What?"
"Where were you?"
"I can't tell you."

I paused, not knowing how to put what I was about to say.

"Zayn, do you have an eating disorder?"
"Where'd you get that idea?"
"You haven't eaten anything since we got off the plane, as far as I'm aware. You barely eat with us anymore. You didn't take any popcorn last night."
"Nialler, you can't tell the others."
"So its true?"
"Yeah... actually that's, uh, why I wasn't here. Simon knows somethings up, so he sent me to a couple appointments, and they said I have... what's it called?"
"Anorexia?"
"Yeah..."

"Zayn, you know I love you, right? We all do, okay? We love you so much."
"Yeah... I'm gonna go talk to Harry, just, please don't tell them."
"Fine, but Zee?"
"Yeah?"
"You really should tell them yourself."

I sighed, knowing he was right.

"Okay, I'll talk to you later."
