To Write Love on His Arms (a Larry Stylinson fanfic)

Chapter Five

"What!?" I say surprised as to what just happened. My boyfriend is either going to have to get engaged to someone other than me, or have to quit the life that he has come to love all because of our love.

"Harry, I warned the two of you a couple of months ago to not express any physical contact or any type of bonding during any social events, but you didn't listen. Now this what it has come to. I'm sorry boys but this is how the entertainment world works. You may not like something, but look at everything you get out of it" Mr Magee explains to me as I sit down in the chair.

"But, it's our lives. Isn't this illegal or something, to force Louis into doing something like this?" I say grabbing ahold of Louis's hand. Thankfully my antidepressants have kicked in, and soon enough my painkillers will kick in too making me become subdued.

"Harry, we already asked. It's not illegal, because it was in our contract" Liam says as he puts his head into his hands on the conference table.

At this point my blood is beginning to boil. The stupid contracts the five of us had to sign two years ago, the ones that we all didn't bother to read clear enough because we had trusted Simon, have come back to haunt us again.

"So, your telling me I will either have to see my boyfriend drop out of the band that wouldn't even be able to survive without him, or get engaged to a girl he isn't even in love with!?" I ask knowing that which ever choice Louis makes will turn out to be the bad choice.

"Yes Mr Styles, and the choice is going to have to be made within the next ten minutes. We will leave the five of you boys alone to talk this out, but please know that whatever you choose is going to be a permanent thing for as long as you are under our control, I mean management" Mr Griffiths says as he gets up and walks toward the door. The rest of our management team follows after him, with laughter and small talk filling the air.

When we are alone, that's when Louis breaks down again. I can't blame him though. Both of us have had to face so much just to keep us together, and now it has come to this. I lean over and pull Louis closer to me, resting his head on my shoulder,

"Okay so what do you two want to do?" Zayn asks cautiously. I look over at him, and can see where tears have fallen down his face.

"There is only one thing we can do. Louis isn't going to drop out of the band. Without him we would just fall apart, and I need him with me" I say trying to remain as calm as possible. I look over at Louis who is now resting his head in his arms on the table. P

It's wrong to see him this way. Tortured by our controlling management team, that could careless if one of us were dying. They would make that person still preform even if they were on the ground taking their last breath! Louis had gotten all of this the worst though, in our two years of being under their control. He has gotten both psychologically and emotionally abused by them countless times.

"Lou?" I ask gently, not wanting to set him off. He is always so delicate to talk to when he is upset, and I have learned that firsthand.

"Yeah" he replies back shifting somewhat.

"Just know that with whatever you decide to choose, I am always going to be right beside you. I love you" I say as I start to feel the effects of my pain killers kicking in. Any moment I will be completely under a daze, which will be really helpful in this situation.

The boys and I stay quiet for the next few minutes, waiting for our superiors to return. The only noise that fills the air is the sound of quiet sobs escaping Louis's body.

As soon as our managers come walking through the door, my heart stops racing. They all take their seats again, and ask for Louis to sit up properly at his seat, which he does and adds a loud sigh.

"So Mr Tomlinson, have you made your decision yet? If you haven't then we will have to make the decision for you" Mr Griffiths says as he takes out two stacks of papers. He sets them next to each other facing Louis. One has the title "Dropped Client" and the other has the title "Compromise (effective immediately)" on it.

"Yeah, I've made my decision" Louis says looking over at me quickly before looking back at Mr Griffiths. In that split second, I could see the fear in Louis's eyes. Something I never see from him.

"Which is it?" Mr Griffiths asks as he extends his arm out to offer Louis a pen, in which Louis forcefully takes from him. He sighs deeply before reaching for one of the stacks of paper. I close my eyes so I don't have to face reality yet.

Seconds later I hear a chair on the otherwise of the table roll backwards.

"I'll go call Miss Calder right now and let her know of your decision. I suppose you would like to have a moment alone with Harry before you have to come get ready for tonight" Mr Griffiths says walking toward the door. My heart sinks realizing that something I never wished would come true, has. I open my eyes to see tears streaming down Louis's face once again today, and the other lads look uncomfortable and upset at what just happened.

"I'm so fucking sorry Haz" Louis says to me before he presses a kiss to my hand. One of the secretaries comes over to us and ushers Louis away with her, leaving me here with my best friends to face the harsh reality of what is happening.
