Luke's POV

We got everything written after the normal opening act was far away. We poofed into the studio. Liam looked up. I said "Expect a call soon." Liam said "Seriously?!" I nodded. He said "I can't even believe it." I said "I knew you wouldn't Li. Just believe it okay? Believe your brother for once." He rolled his eyes. He said "No." I laughed. His phone rang. He said "Hello?" The person talked on the other end. Liam said "Yes we are free to open." I heard the lady said "See you guys tonight." I knew Liam wanted to hug someone right now. I said "Go run and tell dad and papa. We will be here okay?" He nodded. Reggie said "Have you ever seen him this happy?" I said "Not since the day we started to perform or the day we came here." He nodded.

Liam's POV

I said "Papa! Where's dad?" He said "Why?!" I said "I have something to tell you guys!" Dad walked downstairs. I said "Me and the others are playing the Orpheum!" Dad said "Baby that's great! I think the night he passed he was gonna play it and now you and them are doing it baby." I smiled. I said "Seriously?" He said "Yeah baby. I can't wait to see you on that stage like he wanted."

Luke's POV

Liam came back. He said "I'm on my way up there now I can't wait to see you guys there." I said "We'll be there soon baby bro. Trust me." He said "Bye. I'll see you soon." He walked out. Caleb showed up. I said "We aren't going." He poofed us there. In suits and all. I looked at the boys. I shook my head.

Liam's POV

Harry said "Where are they?" I said "I don't know. H I'm scared."

Luke's POV

I said "I didn't even agree to come here. My brother is waiting for us." I didn't want to let him down again. And at this rate I think we will. Alex said "We will get there Luke." I whispered "We can't even tell Li where we are. I don't want to let him down. Again."

Liam's POV

I whispered "Where are they?" Papa said "Baby Harry's here?" I looked back.  Harry said "Li can we talk?" Papa said "I'll give you two space." I nodded. We got to the room. He said "Where are the boys?" I shrugged. I whispered "I think they ran out of time. Hazza I didn't get to say goodbye to my brother. I couldn't even talk the last time." He wrapped his arms around me. He said "Shh love. I'm here. Okay?" We heard a knock. The guy said "Liam? You are due on stage." I looked at Harry. I said "Hazza. I'm scared. I can't. I can't do it without Luke. Hazza what am I gonna do?" Papa came in. He said "Babes you need to head up." He told the guy to give us time. He said "What's wrong?" I said "I think they ran out of time papa. I didn't even get to say goodbye."

Niall's POV

Once he said that. I wrapped my arms around him right away. I said "Babes it's okay. I promise you. You got this. I believe in you. So doesn't dad. You got us. You got Harry. You know you got this alright? I'll stand with Harry at the corner of the stage okay? I'll get dad too. That's if you want." He nodded.

Harry's POV

I went to get Lou. I said "Li is gonna want you with us on the corner of the stage. He needs all the comfort he can get right now." He ran.

Louis's POV

I ran to Liam's room. I said "What's wrong?" Liam whispered "I'm starting to think Luke and the others ran out of time. Dad I never got to say goodbye. He said we'd be here hours ago and I haven't seen them. I should of said goodbye then." I said "Baby it's okay. You know that. I love you to death okay baby? You are gonna do great love. I know you will."

Luke's POV

I looked at the time. I said "We need to figure out how to leave. Liam's about to go on stage alone. I can't let him down. It's bad enough he had to spend 15 years without me." I sighed. I didn't even wanna move. Alex said "How'd you get the sizes correct." I just stared at him. I said "You are worried about that?!" Alex shrugged. I rolled my eyes. I whispered "I'm letting down my brother." I can't believe this. This is the second time I'm letting him down. As his big brother I shouldn't let him down. And I am. I can't stand this.

Alex's POV

Luke groaned. I said "Luke we are gonna figure out a way to get out of here." He whispered "We are letting Liam down Alex. I hate doing that. He's my baby brother. I hate doing this! We left him alone at the dance snd came here. And now this?! He's gonna hate me okay?" He looked down. He shook his head. He whispered "I hate this." Caleb came in. He said "You boys ready?" Luke said "Does it even look like I wanna be here?" We groaned as the shock went through.

Reggie's POV

Luke hissed "I wanna get out of here and get to Liam. He's literally probably sitting in the room with Harry. Not knowing we aren't coming. I hate this so freaking much." I said "Luke calm down." He said "I can't Reggie. Liam needs us. Literally needs us. And we can't be there. Because of this. I don't know how he's gonna be with just him." I sighed. I said "I wished there was a way to let him know about all of this."

Luke's POV

As they both appeared on stage. I tried to fight back. All I can think of Liam looking sad and possibly crying into with Harry's, papa, or dads arms. But I couldn't fight. I got on stage looking annoying. I just didn't wanna preform here. This honestly just sucks.

Alex's POV

Luke fought as much as he could to stay back and he couldn't. I just thought we had to think of how to get out of here just for Liam. We gotta okay the show we couldn't play. And that's not gonna happen now because of Caleb. This honestly sucks.

Luke's POV

After the music stopped I just looked angry. We need  to leave.
