“What do you mean you’re in love with her?” Louis hissed at me out in the hall.

“You’re in love with Eleanor,” I threw back at him.

“You barely know her Harry and already you’re risking life and limb, there’s romantic and then there’s just plain stupid.”

“I thought about her every second I was away,” I replied.

“Maybe that’s why Ashley cheated on you.” Louis replied.

I glared at him, “you know nothing about my marriage.”

“What marriage,” Louis scoffed, “you cared as much about those vows as you did about the band.”

“So that’s the big problem the band?” I said.

“Yeah, it is actually because you know what I thought we had a shot a hitting the big time again, but you’re wasting time getting distracted!” he said his voice raising.

“You know what Louis, you’re starting to sound like a dick,” I told him.

Louis looked up at me, he looked down again.

“Eleanor’s pregnant.” He said.

“What?” I said, completely, shocked, “mate that’s great news.”

“Only if we’re making money,” he sighed, “Harry I’m sorry I have to say these things to you but I’m going to have a family to support now.”

I ran a hand through my hair.

A door opened at the end of the hall, and a police man and woman approached us.

“Looks like you’re needed,” Louis said coldly.

“Louis,” I said.

“Do whatever you want to do,” Louis said.

“I don’t see why you think you won’t be able to support them,” I replied.

“You don’t get it; singing was all the rest of us were good at.” Louis said, “You got to fall back on modelling, the rest of us had nothing.”

He walked out the door, I wanted to chase after him but running with the police coming down the hall didn’t always look good.

“Mr. Styles?” they clarified upon approaching me, I nodded.

“We have a few questions,” I indicated for them to go ahead.

“Why did you go out the back of the building last night?”

“January seen her ex-boyfriend in the crowd, it frightened her and she seen him go outside, so I went out to see what was going on.” I told them honestly.

“So you went out on the offense?”

I shook my head, “I went out and I couldn’t see anything, I called out his name and he made some snide comments about being helpless or something like that.”

“Then what?” they pressed.

“I thought I heard him moving, so I went in that direction,” I told them.

“So you attacked him?” they demanded.

“It was pre-empted only because I knew he’d go after me.”

“What made you think that?” they asked me.

I inhaled deeply, “he has a history of violence.” I paused, “he only just finished a sentence for domestic abuse and rape.”

They looked taken aback, “what’s the name?” they asked us.

“Darren Hedgefield.”

One of the officers gave a harsh laugh, “are you trying to tell us that you were attacked by the infamous Mr. X?”
