Cufflinks and Quiffed Hair // L.S.

*10*

*Zayn's POV*

Life is hell.

Media, I swear if I could, I would fucking end them. They're speaking shit about Harry, Niall and Gemma.

Harry Styles seen crying on the street after girlfriend breaks up with him after hearing about the scam

Gemma Styles, sister of Harry Styles, left heartbroken after boyfriend Ashton cheats on her

#nemmastoran: Trending on Twitter. What is Nemma Storan?

All of these were little white lies, and we all knew that. Harry never had nor has a girlfriend, Gemma and Ashton are happy in their relationship and Niall is happy on his own.

Everything sucks.

Louis hasn't spoken since he went away. Comfortable silence is so overrated. I won't even lie, I never texted him once after that day.

And...I'll be honest. I miss him.

Harry hasn't been much better over these weeks. He's somewhat stopped cutting, but he doesn't talk to anyone. We had Anne come over the past few weeks who was shocked seeing Harry in such a state.

All Harry did was cling to her like a baby and sob. Anne decided to take him to Cheshire, with her, and we had all agreed. Gemma had decided not to go, as she needed some time for herself too.

Niall lived alone in Harry's mansion, with me and Liam going there occasionally to play Xbox. Gigi and Maya bonded over this difficult time and are now nothing less than best friends.

It's been three days since Harry left for Cheshire and two weeks since we've seen Louis. He's probably enjoying himself, having achieved what he has always wanted- to be the only number one.

I hate myself for thinking this, but I secretly wished Simon overtook him in the race and Louis finally realizes he isn't the boss of this world.

But again, with everything bad there is always something good.

Gigi and I have grown stronger and closer during these times. Sometimes I wonder why I put her in such situations, but I guess it's making our hearts steadfast.

I think choosing humanity over money was actually a good decision.

I have gained three new friends in Liam, Niall and Ashton, Gigi has always been here for me, I've known Gemma for ages and now I also have Harry and Maya.

Losing Louis will always sting me, but it is what it is.

*Louis' POV*

I felt as lonely as a ghost.

Zayn was the only friend I had ever had, and now I had lost him. Anything good that has happened over the past few weeks, is I've opened another branch of my company in Japan.

This time, success felt different. It felt half-lived.

My new personal assistant, her name's Evanesca, I think. She's weird. Always seems lost. The only reason I've kept her is because she's good at her job, that is, when she is alert.

I sat on my desk, waiting for my meeting call to come. I heard someone knock on my door. "Come in!"

The door swung up open, revealing my brunette assistant with a cup of tea. "Sir, your tea." She said, cheerily, and kept it down a little too harshly on my desk. Almost all the tea from the cup spilt on my laptop's keyboard.

"Holy fuck, Evanesca!" I screeched. "I'm sorry, Sir, I'm really very sorry. I'll just clean this all really quick..." She said and began wiping all the tea off my keyboard with her handkerchief.
