Just a replacement (one direction)

Chapter 11.

On our way back from the airport we decided to go by Nando’s for lunch. While we were eating I check twitter to see that the picture with us in a human pyramid is all over twitter, apparently a big smile crept on my face because Zayn asked me what was going on.

“I think you should see it for yourself” with those words I handed my phone over to him, Zayn handed the phone over to Louis and after a few minutes they were all smiling.

“I knew my idea for the pyramid was a good one! Boys we should do this more often.” Louis screams happily.

“Oh no better not, man your knees almost broke my back, I’m not going to do that again.” Liam exclaims.

We chat around while eating our lunch, and after that we go to town, Louis, Harry and Zayn are going to take a new tattoo and after that we’ll go to our meeting with management.

:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:

“So, we’ve got some important things to go through with you boys. First of all: Think about your public presentation! You can’t go around clubbing and taking new tattoos all the time, and Zayn, no more smoking in public.”

“WHAT?” my four ‘bandmates’ all exclaim in unison.

“I think you’ve heard me very well. You guys have to realize not everything can be done when you’re famous. Oh and Louis and Harry, I want to talk to you guys alone when we’re done with this conversation.” The manager says, the boys don’t like him and I start to understand why. “Now on to my next point, we have to talk about the conversation with Niall, you’ll start working on your third album in two weeks and if he isn’t back by then, he’ll be thrown out of this band.”

“NO, you can’t do this. He has a reason why he left, and maybe you can’t understand because you have no heart but I’m not going to let you throw him out of the band. Plus, I don’t think lots of fans will stay when one direction goes on without Niall, One Direction won’t be One direction anymore.” I say, not being able to hold my anger anymore.

“Boy, boy, boy, do you really think you have enough impact to make me take my words back? For a replacement you  have a very big mouth. If that idiot can’t stand the perks that cons of being famous then he shouldn’t be famous. And about the fan thing, I already thought about that, if Niall doesn’t come back, you’ll be a permanent replacement.” Their manager speaks, this man seriously has no heart, I need to get this back on, from the few times I talked to Niall I could hear how much he missed making music with 4 friends, he will go back to where he was if the manager will just throw him out of the band.

“You can’t do that” I say, now with my nice voice but a furious overtone, the manager makes a questioning face but before he can speak I continue: “First of all, I’ll get Niall back before you’ll work on the album and he’ll be better than before. Second, I won’t be his replacement, if you throw Niall out of the band, I’ll leave to, I won’t be a permanent replacement. And last: if  there’s some kind of contract that says I can’t say no to this ‘deal’ of yours, then I’ll leave anyway, and a cause won’t help you because that means it will become public that I was replacing Niall. So if you think you can control us? Well you’re wrong, it’s the other way around.” And with those words I left, it’s the second time I met this man and I already hate him to death.  I took a cab to the house where I explained everything that happened to Charlotte. Together we waited for the boys to come back home.

:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:

“Lot, can you please text Liam and ask when they’ll be back, then I’ll call Niall to tell what’s going on.” Charlotte cheeks turn red and I laugh, “I know you like him and I know you have his number, just do what I say please? We’ll talk about this girl problem another time.”
