Letters To Harry

23 - The End Of The Road

Simon's POV

"No Paul, I want you to bring all of the boys here...Yes, now...Yes, that includes Niall and Zayn...Just tell Emeline and Perrie to wait...Jade can take her to the doctor...PAUL NOW!"

I slammed the phone back onto it's charger after my infuriating conversation with Paul. I know the boys love him, and it was pretty clear he was trying to get Niall and Zayn out of this.

Obviously I needed to talk with Harry and Louis abbout their alleged relationship, Zayn about the broadcasting for Perrie's pregnancy, I hadn't even spoken to Niall since he got engaged without telling me. Then there was Liam, who didn't seem right.

Half an hour later, the five members of my most successful band truged into my office, all looking completely exhausted. I almost felt bad before reminding myself how much damage they were all doing.

"Hello boys." I leaned forward in my chair and folded my hands on top of the desk. Harry flinched when I spoke and Louis placed a hand on his knee, causing the younger boy to relax.

"What do you want, Simon?" Louis asked snappishly.

"Firstly, I want that to stop." I glared pointedly at his hand on Harry's knee. He didn't budge. "Fine."

"Can I ask why we're here?" Zayn asked, shifting in his seat. I was a little surprised Liam hadn't spoken yet, he was usually right to business.

"You're here so I can speak with each one of you individually." I told the five of them, my gaze flitting between them. "Liam, I'll speak with you first."

Liam nodded as the others got up and walked out of my office. Niall gave Liam a quick hug before grabbing Zayn's hand and allowing him to pull him out of the room.

"So Liam..."

Liam's POV

Simon sat in front of me, a hard look in his eyes. I changed the direction of my stare to the floor.

"Liam!" Simon snapped, clearly annoyed with my lack of response.

"What do you want from me?" I asked quietly.

"I want you to tell me what's been going on with you lately." Simon said in a very business-y voice. "You haven't been your usual self in public and I haven't heard from you in weeks. You haven't been on Twitter since you boys came back from Canada. Rumours are going around that you're back with Danielle but she's been spotted on apparent dates with other people. Care to clear any of this up?"

I shook my head, gaze fixated on a small stain in the carpet.

"Fine. We can do this the hard way if you want."

I sighed and looked back up at Simon.

"I've just been feeling down." I told him honestly. "My aunt's sick, cancer they think, and I just found out last week. Also, Harry's time in the hospital took a lot out of all of us, especially Zayn who I normally have to take care of but lately he's been hanging out with Niall again or Perrie you know with her being pregnant and I thought me and Danielle were together again but like you said she's been out with other guys but she says she loves me and I don't know what to believe and I'm kind of mad at you for making Harry break up with Alia he really loved her and you took that away and broke his heart and if you try and break him and Louis up it will be even worse and I-"

"Liam." Simon cut me off. I had started out talking normally, then I'd sped up and barely stopped to take a breath during my whole little speech. "I'm very sorry about your aunt, if you'd like to spend some time in Wolverhampton before the tour I can arrange that. Obviously Harry's illness took its toll on all of you, nobody would expect anything different. Zayn and Niall may have become closer, but that doesn't mean they've forgotten about you. The Danielle situation is ridiculous. Maybe it's time for you to move on, for real this time. I get that it was difficult for him, which would be hard on you, but I will speak with Harry about his relationships."
