"Sh" I heard a voice

"Don't wake her, she needs to sleep, she doesn't sleep much often"

My eyes flickered. Stirring from my sleep I open my eyes slowly, the light of day hurting my eyes

"We need to tell her"

"Not yet, she's asl-" Aaron stopped talking, realizing I was awake. As my eyes were fully open, the room fell into complete silence that you could hear a pin drop

Aaron sat on the end of my bed, Liam sat on my chair and Jacob and George sat on the opposite side of my bed

"What's going on?" I asked taking a quick look at the time. 3:00pm. The concert was in 4 hours and I didn't quite know how ready I was to be stood in front of the person I love for 2 hours straight...

Especially when I know I can't have him...

"Nothing" Aaron murmured, lowering his head as if he was scared

"Then why are you all sat in my room, did my mom let you in?" I sat up confused

"We need to tell her Liam, we can't hide from it" Jacob spoke quietly but confidently

"Tell me what" I exclaimed, growing impatient

"We're leaving," Liam said quietly "we're going on tour"

I stared down at the quilt that hugged me. Aaron had tears in his eyes, as did Jacob. The thought of Aaron being heartbroken for the best part of next year hurt

"Are you going to be okay?" Jacob placed his hand on top of Aaron's, who was wiping a tear from his face

"I have Ariana here for me, she'll look after me" he placed his hand on mine and squeezed it

"I'll take care of him," I looked at Jacob "I promise"

"Thankyou"

Jacob and Aaron pulled each other into a hug before exiting my bedroom

"Aren't you going to miss Anna?" Liam spoke George who was texting

"Of course, I have Skype and FaceTime though" he slouched, sadness clear in his expression

He got up and left, leaving me and Liam alone

"Hey" he spoke weakly, getting to his feet

"Hey" I chuckled slightly, his feeble attempt at trying to lighten the mood

"I'm going to miss you" he blurted out, before buying his tongue and blushing a little

"I'll miss you too-"

"Come with me" he moved closer, wrapping his arms around my torso "I know it's crazy but, I-i know we can work, we can be together"

"Liam" I sighed, feeling like I was about to crush him "I don't love you..."

I took a deep breath, unable to realise how awful I sounded to say it aloud, especially to his face

He just searched my face, looking for a way to make me say yes

"I-I" he stopped. He knew I loved him, just not in that way
