Louis' POV:
"So, any special ladies for you lads?" The interviewer asked. Most common question, yet this time it was different. Liam and Zayn raised their hands slowly. The rest of us looked around at each other and smiled, knowing the truth.
After the interview we decided to get a bite to eat. We went to an old coffee shop on the corner called "Blu's Café". Great sandwhiches!
Zayn dropped Harry and I off at our flat at around 9 pm. We opened up the door and walked in. It was dark.
Harry grabbed my shirt and spun me around so my back was pressed up to the door. He started kissing me aggressively.
"What hat gotten into you Styles?" I manage to squeeze out the words in between kisses.
"Six months?!" He was almost screaming.
"I know. I know, too long. But we've gone this long, who says we can't go another six months? At least everyone we are close to knows. We don't have to hide in front of the lads anymore," I said.
Harry sighs. "Well, I'm gonna go take a shower. Coming?"
"Yeah I'll be right up," I say, slamming my body on the couch, defeated.
I closed my eyes are started to doze off when the phone rang. I groaned and reached over the couch to the coffee table and grabbed the phone.
"Hello?"
"Hello Louis. It's Paul."
"Oh hey Paul! How are you?" I said. I loved when he called.
"I'm good. But I'm calling with some...news." His voice changed. He sounded almost, sad.
"Paul is everything okay?" I said, now concerned.
"Well, I've spoken to management. They told me what had happened the other night with you and Harry. I can't say I didn't see it coming. Anyways, management has set up a girl for you for your 6 months." He spoke as if he wanted to swallow his words.
"What?! Paul I don't understand-" I was shocked.
"Management has hired a girl to be your girlfriend to hide your relationship with Harry from the public."
"But.....I....why?" I couldn't manage a sentence. What was happening?!
"I'm sorry I have to be the deliverer of bad news Louis. I know you don't like this and I don't either but it's what management believes is best for the band."
I was still stunned, unable to form a proper sentence. "Of course I want what is best for the band. But is this really necessary?"
"I'm sorry Louis. I really am. I suggest you call her and plan a time to meet her. I know you don't like this situation but you should at least make the best of it and be friends," Paul said. He then gave me her name and number before saying goodbye.

I can't believe this is happening. I heard the water turn on up stairs. I set the piece of paper with her number down on the coffee table and headed upstairs. I walked into the bathroom where Harry had already stepped into the shower. He hadn't noticed that I was there. I slipped of my boxers and stepped in the shower. My face was stone and lifeless.
I knew Harry had noticed, it was hard not to.
"Boo, what's wrong?" He said, lifting my chin with his finger.
I just started crying into Harry's shoulder as he wrapped arms around me, pulling our bare bodies close together.
