Paralyzed

Deal with the Devil

Liams POV

I went to rehearsals early that day. I asked Paul and Brad to meet me there. Kenzie already arranged a meeting with Donald and Elijah. Now, we just needed our mangers consent that we can pay off Donald to keep the records of Harry a secret.

“Please Paul,” I begged “It's effecting the band! This might be the only shot we have at-”

“And why should we help Harry?” Brad added.

“Because...” I started “If we help Harry we get the band back into motion. Okay and we make more money and dont have to deal with the fear that those records will be released to the media!” I justified. 

Paul stood silent, hesitant. He looked up at me, “Do you really think this could work? This is a lot we are putting on the line Liam...”

“I-I am sure.”

“Okay, tomorrow. 2 p.m. Sharp. I want you, Kenzie, and Lou there. Okay?”

“Will do Paul! Thank you.”

“Just... Don't let me down Liam.”

Harry's POV

I walked down the office building. I decided to go to today's rehearsals. I heard whispering coming from one of the rooms. I was Liams voice, he was talking to Paul and Brad. I heard Kenzies name and I froze. I couldn't move my legs, her name caught my attention. I shook it off though, I found feeling in my legs again and began to continue to walk. I don't care. I am fine.

Kenzies POV 

I curled my long dark brown hair. Today was now a week since i've seen Harry. But hopefully by the end of today that all will change. Liam already arranged the meeting. Everything was set. Hopefully by today, things will be better.

“Kenzie, you ready?” Liam shouted from outside the bathroom door.

“Yeah.” I walked out. 

I made my way down the hall and sat next to Lou, His hand fell on mine.

“It's gonna be fine.” He reassured me with a smile.

Liam and Paul sat on the opposite couch. We all waited patiently for the door bell to ring, and what felt like hours, though was only minutes, it did. Liam got up and headed towards the door. I heard Elijah and Donald greet Liam at the door as they made there way over to the rest of us.

“So,” Donald started laying his briefcase on the coffee table as he sat down, he opened it, “You guys mentioned an alternative for this? Involving money?”

“Yes,” Paul answered him, “We are willing to pay you double than what Elijah is and fly you and a partner our to the vacation of your choice.”

Donald looked intrigued, just were we wanted him. He lifted the papers out of his briefcase and held them tightly into his hand.

“Oh come on!” Elijah yelled.

“Shh, let 'daddy' do his business with the nice men.” Donald smirked. 

“Elijah,” I spoke “I know you are just trying to protect me. But keeping me from Harry is only hurting me and him as well!”

“Because of you they both are a bloody mess! You should be ashamed of yourself! You just broke up one of the most loving couples I have ever seen. You sicken me you cold hearted monkey!” Lou sassed.

Elijah looked guilty, he shot a look to Liam, “Is that true?”

“Every part of it.” Liam responded.
