Zayn: "Zayn?" you ask tentatively, your eyes wet with tears. "Yeh?" he shrugs off his coat casually but as soon as he notices your face he runs over to the sofa. "Babe, what's wrong? You all right?" He immediately holds you in his arms and you shake your head. "I lost my engagement ring," you blurt out, holding up your now-bare hand. "I'm so sorry, I feel awful...I looked everywhere for it, I'm such an idiot..." He quickly hushes you and holds your hand. "You're not an idiot, it's all right," he says softly, placing a hand on your cheek. "I know you're upset you lost it and I won't lie, I'm a bit upset as well but I'll buy you a new one, okay?" he promises, wiping a tear from your face. "Don't get worked up about it, it'll be okay."

Harry: "Babe, you look really...worried?" he offers, placing a hand on your cheek. "I just..." you begin, but quickly shake your head. "Nothing, it's..." He frowns and raises an eyebrow. "Come on, you know you can tell me anything," he continues, giving your hand a squeeze. "All right, well...I sort of...I can't find my engagement ring," you sigh, burying your face in your hands. "I can't believe I lost it! Stupid, stupid, stupid." He quickly pulls your hands away from your face and shrugs. "Don't beat yourself up, it's just a ring. I mean, yeah, it's your engagement ring but we're still engaged and a ring doesn't mean anything, it's a symbol I guess," he says slowly, eyebrows furrowed in thought. "I can buy you a new one, no problem. But all we really need is each other..." He trails off and kisses your cheek. "Sorry, got a little philosophical there but really, it's okay. Don't get upset about it."

Niall: "Yeah, she said yes!" Niall beams to Josh, wrapping his arm around his waist. "Aw, congrats!" Josh grins, patting Niall's shoulder. "So...let me see the rock!" You offer an awkward smile and hide your hands behind your back. "What's wrong?" Niall wonders, usually you were excited to show off your sparkling engagement ring. "I kind of...I," you begin, but show up your ring-less finger in response. "You don't want to marry me?" he asks, expression the saddest you've ever seen. "So you took the ring off?" You quickly shake your head. "No! No! Of course I want to marry you, I just...I, um, lost the ring," you frown, glancing at your hand. "Oh!" he lets out a sigh of relief and laughs. "Oh m'God, never been so nervous in my life," he grins, kissing your cheek. "I can just buy you another one, as long as you'll still say yes."
Liam: "What are you looking for?" Liam asks, watching with confusion as you pull the the pillows and cushions off the couch. "Um...an earring," you mumble, frantically searching under the table. "What are you really looking for?" he asks, seeing through your lies. You sit up and let out a deep sigh. "My engagement ring," you admit, placing your hand over your forehead. "You lost it?" he asks, eyes wide as he starts helping you look. "I'm so sorry Liam, I really didn't mea-" you begin, but he cuts you off. "It's okay, we'll look for it and if we don't find it we can get you a new one," he replies calmly, looking under the bed.

Louis: "I know you'll probably just say nothing's wrong," he begins, sitting beside you on the bed. "But clearly something is wrong and seeing you this upset is making me upset." You turn to face him and offer a weak shrug. "Please?" You finally give in and hold up your hand. "Lou, I...I lost the engagement ring," you admit, a tear slipping down your cheek. "Oh, that old thing?" he jokes, making light of the situation. "We'll get you a newer, better one, m'dear." You frown and raise an eyebrow. "Louis, this isn't funny, I feel awful," you sigh, allowing him to wrap you in his arms. "I'm sorry, I know, I know. It sucks that it's gone but it is what it is, you know? Don't get upset--I'll get you a new one, babe."
