I Hate You ~ Louis Tomlinson

MAKE-UP

The weekend goes by smoothly and uneventfully. Nobody wanted another hangover so they decided to stay home instead of going out.

On today's agenda is some video clips, they are making something like a pre-tour vlog. It's nothing major, they are just getting some behind the scenes footage in their little studio.

What seems really simple though, is actually quite a large production. They have hair and make up, extra sound equipment, videographers, and many people Natalie can't even identify. It's like a swarm of bees in a too small hive. Everybody is running around working diligently, and then there's the boys.

They are a hot mess. Harry isn't wearing pants (typical), Niall only has one shoe on, (she has no idea how he lost the other one), and Louis is missing. They don't have a clue where he is or what he's doing.

Natalie is around to ensure they get the shots they need for promotional materials and to help out if anything else is needed.

"Hey Natalie can you go find Louis please?" Linda asks, since this is a big project she came in for the day to oversee things. 

"Do I have to?" She mumbles only loud enough for Liam to hear since he is right next to her. He puts his hand on her arm as a little encouragement and she stands up. "Of course."

She internally groans and hypes herself up in her head. It'll be fine, she'll just say they are ready for him. She's not asking him for herself or anything, simply relaying information. Not that that will mean anything to him. She rolls her eyes to herself as she continues looking for him.

She spends about 10 minutes searching the entire building and she still can't find him anywhere. She's getting more and more stressed by the minute, knowing they are in a time crunch.

She considers texting or calling him but she knows it would be of no use, he won't answer her and she knows it.

She finds him by chance actually, she just happens to see him from one of the windows. No wonder she couldn't find him in here, he's outside.

"Louis there you are." She says and he pretends he can't hear her. She steps outside and goes closer to him. "Louis, it's time for you to get ready."

"Okay," he says and she turns to go back inside. Then she realizes he's staying exactly where he is.

"Louis please. Linda is asking for you," she pleads.

"I heard you." He says plainly and she stands with the door open, eyeing him impatiently. He groans but smiles, "Alright, alright no need to beg dear. I'm coming."

She scoffs and follows behind him to the boys dressing room.

It's a small room, but they each have a mirror and vanity with a nice plush chair where the teams can get them ready. Louis already had his hair done and by the time they get back he's the last one for makeup.

"That's great Louis, the make up team had to leave. Now what are we going to do?" Linda asks throwing her hands up in the air for added effect.

Louis just shrugs and looks unbothered. Knowing Louis will be of no help, she turns to Natalie.

"Natalie, do you know how to do make up?" She asks hopefully.

If it wasn't for the fact that this is her boss and she's practically begging for her help she might say no, but alas, she doesn't have it in her to do that. No matter how annoying Louis can be.

"Yes, I do." Natalie replies with a forced smile.

"Yeah, of course you do. You need it." Louis mumbles. As she walks past, she kicks his shin while no one is paying attention.
