Interview after interview, that what Louis' week was filled with. Interviews promoting the new album and tour coming up. Louis hated it, being asked the same exact questions.

"So Louis there is a new boy in your life."

"So Louis, how's Harry?"

"New romance for you Louis?"

"So who's single?" Followed by "How's it going for you and Harry?"

"We've seenyou with Harry a lot, it must be going well?"

"When will you see Harry again?"

Harry, Harry, Harry that's all the questions he'd be asked. Nothing about the album, nothing about tour. Absolutely nothing, it made Louis upset because that is what Louis was doing all of this for: The band, the tour, the fans. But all he got to talk about was Harry and their non existent relationship. It was also a constant reminder that Louis had hurt Harry. No matter how much he disliked Harry, he hated that he hurt someone. He hated that whole 24 hours.

Louis feels someone nudge his side bringing him out of his thoughts.

Louis hums in response.

"We haven't seen you with Harry for a couple of weeks, is everything okay?" The blonde interviewer asks again.

Louis resists the urge to roll his eyes. "Everything is fine," Louis smiles fakely. "We've just been so busy with promo for our upcoming album we just haven't had time."

"How is he coping with crowds? We've seen that he been quite anxious." She says.

Just shut up already Louis thinks to himself

The screen behind them shows a picture of a wide eyed Harry, alone in a sea of people. Louis nowhere to be found in the photo.

When was this? Louis quickly composes himself.

"Yeah. He, he can get like that sometimes." Louis says, looking at Jordan, who motions for him to to keep going. In other words, play it up and say more bullshit to make them swoon and think that they are the cutest couple on earth.

"I just have to hold his hand and remind him that everything is okay." Louis adds a fond smile.

The crowd awes and Jordan gives a thumbs up.

"You two are just the cutest!" The interviewer swoons. Louis looks at him bandmates beside him who look back with sympathy. Louis just shrugs in response.

Even if they were assholes who just cared about fame, they understood that Louis didn't like being in these situations.

Soon enough they were sitting in another interview with some teen magazine talking about the same exact thing.

"Drinks tonight?" Aaron asks as they climb into the van after their last interview. The rest of the band cheer in response. Louis stays quiet.

"You comin' Lou?"

Louis thinks about it for a moment. Flashbacks of the night start appearing in his head.

"Why not?" Louis says with a devilish smile. The guys smile and cheer.

"Off to the bar then!" Jesse says to the driver.

The ride to the bar isn't a long one, and as soon as they enter the bar, a round of shots is already waiting for them.

Five shots in, they already have a crowd of people around them of about twenty people. All there for free booze the band has bought them. Louis is tipsy but not drunk. He keeps thinking about what happened two weeks ago, the touches, the look on his face, the thoughts that ran through his mind from that night.
