The diagnosis

Chapter 37

Andy

Harry lead me to large open room that was filled with a lot of people. "Harry! Can we talk to you for a minute? Alone." A man in a suit asks Harry as we walk in. "I'll be right back okay?" Harry says to me. I smile and nods my response. Then I'm alone in the room, surrounded by a lot of strangers. Near the door Harry entered, I lean on the wall. I go on my phone and message Mel that I miss her and that life is really good. My mind goes back to mine and Harry's stolen moment in the storage room. My cheeks warm.

"Hey! Andy!" I hear a familiar voice say. Louis. "Hey guys!" "What are ya doing all by yourself?" Niall's Irish accent rings out. "Someone wanted to talk to Harry and I don't know anyone else." I shrug my shoulders and gesture to the door that Harry entered. Before any of us can say something, a loud commotion erupts from behind the closed door Harry is currently in.

The boys and I share a confused look. The door slams open. "You have no choice about this Harry." A mans voice says. "Fuck off!" Harry yells and spend the door behind him. I have never heard Harry be that rude to someone. Harry finally notices me and the boys, gives me a pained look and then leaves. My mouth hangs open in surprise. What the hell just happened?

The boys start running after him but Niall stays. "They can figure out what happened, I'll keep ya company until then. Harry wouldn't want you to be alone." Niall says. I nod at him. "Thank you Niall. He grins. "Come on let's get away from these people." Niall leads me out of the room and and to one with a football in it and some other stuff the guys probably entertain themselves with when waiting for the show. Niall begins to kick the ball around.

"Hey Niall, I actually think that I'm going to head back to the bus and shower." He nodded and smiled. "Okay. See yah!" I head to the bus.

Harry

I let go of Andy's hand and follow management into a room. I groan internally, what do they want to say to me now? "Hi Harry, how are you doing?" Mack asks. "I'm fantastic, and you?" Mack grins. "I'm glad, that's going to make this easier. You have to stop seeing Andy." It takes me a minute to understand what exactly he was asking. "Excuse me?" My voice hardened. I do not like this. "You got so much more press when you were sleeping around, so you need to get back to that. Having a stable relationship is boring to the tabloids."
Mach looks tired as he speaks.

"Well it's not boring to me! And you know that I never slept around! I had friends that were girls!" I burst. "Yes, and I feel for ya mate, I do, but you have two options: you can break up with Andy and start being seen with other girls again. Or it will be announced that from a 'reliable source' that you have cheated on Andy. And Andy will find out. Either way, we'll make sure Andy is hurt in the process, but would you rather her think you cheated on her?" I fumed. I'm going to f.ucking kill him. How dare he f.ucking black mail me.

In a fit of rage I know down everything on the table and flip a couch. I storm to the door. "You have no choice about this Harry." Mack says as I open the door. "Fuck off!" I rage an slam the door behind me. My eyes find Andy and I can barely look at her. I storm out of the room and to the bus. After I closed the door to the bus I swore and yelled, and swore some more. The door opens and I turn, expecting to find Andy, but it's my brothers instead.

"Are you okay mate?" Louis asks me. "Ugh no!" I swear again. "What the hell happened back there?" Liam asks. "Fuck! Mack told me I'm not allowed to see Andy anymore. They told me that I get more publicity when I'm seen with more then one girl as opposed to with a single girl. 'Good relationships are boring'" I mocked in a horrible impression and then swore again. I paced back an forth and the guys waited for me to continue. I swore again. "I have to break up with Andy. If not they're going to release to the world and to Andy that I cheated on her." I ran my fingers through my hair. This is seriously f.ucked up.

"You cheated on Andy?" Liam asked, completely gobsmacked. I groaned and swore again. "Are you bloody kidding me? You seriously believe I did?! Of course I didn't! They threatened to release a lie that will ruin my relationship if I don't ruin it myself!" "You can't do it mate. Andy has lost everything. I mean if you don't love her then yes you Need to let her go. But you can't let them play you like this." Louis says. "Don't you think I f.ucking know she's lost everything?! I love her. I will not abandon her when she needs me." Liam and Louis smile at me tightly. "Then you need to go get her and tell her everything that just happened and tell her it's all a lie before she finds out the hard way if you know what I mean. Once she knows you're being threatened we can all figure a way out of this okay?" I nod sharply, still furious, but I know they're right. I can't keep this from her.

Andy

When I finally get to the bus I open the door and hear voices. I'm about to turn away and leave Harry in peace with his brothers until I hear something I couldn't believe. "I have to break up with Andy. If not they're going to release to the world and to Andy that I cheated on her." Harry's husky voice said. He truly sounded worried. But was it evacuee he was afraid that I'd find out he cheered on me? Is it because I've been too emotionally demanding and distraught to give him s.ex?

"You cheated on Andy?" I hear Louis say in a distraught and shocked voice. Bloody hell, I can't take any more of this. I quietly shut the door and walk away. I refuse to cry anymore, I refuse to feel. Maybe I should just give up on this life entirely. Obviously I'm not meant for this life. My feet carry me but I don't know where or what I'm doing. My brain is detached from my body. All I feel is pain. I will do anything to feel free.
