Moments of Happiness

I was sitting on the couch in the studio when my phone buzzed. I pulled it out of my pocket and saw that Joanne had DMed me. They are supposed to be here my now so I open the message.
From @GuruJoeyPitka
-We are here, but outside. When we told the front desk we were invited by you guys the guard threw us out. What do we do.

I stood up and just walked out of the private studio room. Harry and Liam are in the booth now, working on dividing up Zayns part. Niall gave me a strange look but went back to writing rifts for the new album. I saw Paddy, one of our security guards, and told him to follow me. We quickly made our way downstairs and I shot the startled receptionist a look and went to the door.

"Unlock it." I told the man standing there.

"Sir, there were just two fans trying to sneak in here. I think it would be best to use the rear exit." He said. I just gave him an annoyed smirk.

"Unlock the door." I said again. He looked past me at Paddy who I'm guessing nodded, because the man turned and unlocked the doors. He opened the door for me, and I walked out. I looked around and found them sitting on the steps. "Lauren, Joanne!" I called. They turned around and grinned. I smiled at the man as they walked back inside with me. Before going upstairs I turned to the shocked receptionist. "These two,yeah, they're with us." I said and then walked away before she could respond.

"Sorry for the trouble." Joanne said when we got into the elevator. I turned and smiled at her.

"Don't worry about it. It was nice to get out of that stuffy booth anyway." They smile and follow me to the private recording rooms where the others are. We walked in and Niall grinned as he saw who was behind me. Joanne walks over to the couch where he is sitting and starts talking to him. Lauren stays near me. I walk back over to the viewing window and put the headphones back on. Liam and Harry are still in there, now working on actually singing the high notes. It was going fine till Harry didn't hit the note.

"Come on Harry. It's not amateur hour. Get it together." I hear a voice begin to berate him though the headset. I turn, angry, and see a man I've never met sitting next to the computers.

"I'm sorry. Who are you?" I ask and the man turns he gives me a fake smile and reaches out a hand.

"My name is Jared, I am here to make sure that the transition from Zayn vocals to Harry and Liam goes smoothly." I don't shake his hand, I just stand there. I can see Lauren staring at us out of the corner of my eye. Behind us, Niall and Joanne stop talking. Jared turns back around and barks again into the Mic.

I hear Harry start again and Jared turns back to me.

"Listen kid, it's my job to do this, I know what I'm doing. So just go sit and wait for your turn." Jared says and gives me another fake smile then turns back to the Mic. I manage to hold my tongue. I shake my head and turn back to the window. I glance at Lauren, who is still watching me. I shake my head and put the headset back on.

I can hear that Harry is struggling. He is pushing to hard to get to the notes. Jared starts berating again as Harry doesn't get the note. I hold myself back and just focus on Harry and Liam. Liam isn't getting any of the flack because he hasn't had to sing yet. Harry starts once more and this time his voice breaks. My heart hurt as Jared started again. I turned to glare at him, but he doesn't see it. Harry starts over and again his voice breaks.

"Harry. Get it together. I can't believe this. They told me that you could do this. But obviously you can't. Maybe you just should go home. Cause you aren't doing any good here." Jared yells. The look of hurt on Harry's face was the last straw. I turned on Jared as he went to continue yelling.
