Saving the band

2. a living hell

the concert of the 11th anniversary occurred on July 23th 2021, and started at 08:09pm in London. Since then, the band works on their promo. 

They were doing a photoshoot when suddenly Harry said a sassy thing on one of the assistant photograph.

— go on fuck her in front of us too if you want said Louis really quietly, but loud enough for the boys to hear it. That's what you want to do with every one of them no ?

Niall letted out a brief laugh while Harry looked back at Louis angrily

— oh common, again ?

— hum are we still stalking about the photograph here ? Asked Niall

But he didn't had any response.

While it was escalating quickly, Niall was half surprised half laughing, Liam was trying to resonate them without success.

She turned towards harry and Louis still arguing (about god knows what)

— You two ! Enough!

They all stopped and looked at her.

— I didn't brought you back, to fight like little children ! Personal problems are out of here, I don't want to hear them again. You are feeding up EVERYONE in this room, and actually making me look like a fool, so do what you want with your own reputation, but don't tarnish mine, or the group one. Is that clear ?

Everyone was staring back at her surprised, both of the guy had stop arguing and seemed a little bit shameful, but still quite angry. Guys took back their place and the photoshoot continued without further incident.

At the end of the photoshoot, guys still had to change cloth and take back their belongings, but as always Siara knew they would take forever.

— Alright, everyone in the car in 10 minutes, I'm warning you I'll not wait for you

And surprisingly for once every one of them was in the car on time. The way back to the studio were they spent most of the time, was very quiet and no one talk about the incident.

Siara parked the car in the parking lot :

— i need the five of you in the « circle » meeting room as soon as you go upstair. I need to take something from my office and I'm joining you there.

She turned down the car, and stepped out of the car before everyone else joining a door in the back of the parking lot that where directly leading to the office space.

There were different way inside the studio, and several « private doors » that only a few specific members could pass through, just like this one, to go in restricted area faster. She knew boys had a longer way going through the back normal entrance so she took her time joining her office. Actually she had nothing to take from there, she just needed 5 seconds alone, to think quietly.

She putted her coat and bag in the blue velvet chair in the corner of her office, and went to look at the window. The view was magnificent. she started thinking about where she was know, and the job she was doing (something she dreamed of) and felt some sadness. Of course she was doing the best job ever, the knew assistant manager of one direction. She had been a directioner herself so she thought working with the boys would be satisfying. Harassing, trying, emotionally hard, but she thought that at least some gratitude would make her days better. But the problem was there, since she started to work with them two month ago, they all thought she was an other puppet of modest management, that she was only meant to be tyrannic and atrocious like Simon, but in female shape to lure them. How wrong was they ! She had to fight with the management, to create a team that would benefit them, to fight for their wellbeing. And everyday, she had the management on her back, trying to make her do thing that she didn't wanted to do, fighting her will, and then she had to manage the boys, who put all their efforts into ruining everything she did, into criticizing her (for things she didn't even had done). She understood them, she knew how she looked like from their point of view. But some days were harder than others.
