Chapter 34: Left with my Thoughts

Hi guys! I cranked this out in a day so I hope it's good! If you have the time or want more fics to read go check out PlutoLou and emmaleigh11 !  They are so sweet and Louie's and just so kind!  Love you girls!  And sorry for the gif but I am in love with that interview!  Have a great week and I'll update by next Sunday!

Anne POV

The boys are finally doing their interview which we had to push back an hour because Niall had a slight concussion. I haven't cried yet. I probably will tonight, but that's not the point. You know that moment when you know somethings it's very counterproductive against the big scheme, but if you do the thing right, the big scheme won't matter. That's confusing. I mean that I can't help but think if I die, then this won't be a problem. And I'm not wrong, but no one will say it. I watch as Louis sends me a small smile before the camera's start up and the announcer speaks.

"Finally after an hour delay we have the boys of One Direction here with us! Now if you don't mind me asking what's the cause for the delay?" He asks and Niall pulls off a half laugh.

"Oh Jim don't get us started." He says and I watch him closely. "Me being the klutz I am, feel out of my bunk this morning and hit my head on the way down, and we wanted to make sure I didn't hurt myself on accident." He says. Louis visibly relaxes and Maura squeezes my hand.

"You doing okay darling?" She asks and I shrug.

"I don't think it's set in yet." I murmur and she looks at me cautiously.

"You were upset this morning," She says and I nod slowly. The interviewer asks something about the new single Drag me Down and they all make a remark. I pause and think for a moment about what to say to Maura and watch the boys as they move onto never have I ever. Louis visibly rolls his eyes as they get the paddles but it's hopefully going to be okay. I take a short glance at her before speaking.

"Yeah, but actually having reality hit you in the face like that, isn't something I was expecting and all." I say and she nods slowly watching the boys too. The interviewer asks something about mile high club and Harry's paddle wavers between yes and no before he throws it over his shoulder.

"I think the game's broken." He says slowly and deeply and can't stop the smile that crosses my mouth. Oh Harry. Louis flashes me a smile as the next question comes across. I ignore it knowing that the rest of them will be things I already know. I feel my phone buzz in my pocket and its Elisa's number. I step into the hallway and answer it quickly. I need my best friend.

"Hey I saw what happened. Are you okay?" She asks and I nod fingering the compression wrap on my arm. We have to run by an actual hospital after this so I can get new stitches put in, or possibly just leave the wrap on.

"Not really, but I don't know what to do. He jumped Niall and he has a concussion now. I'm so fucking mad." I spit. "Why the hell go through all this trouble. He fucked up not me! I did what was right! It's not my fault he broke code! When Lindsey was taking even prescription pills, she dropped for almost 2 weeks! Like sorry you can't even do legal drugs!" I snap and slide down the wall closing my eyes. I have to keep quiet the boys are in an interview.

"Anne hey breath it'll work out." She says softly.

"El. I love you but do you understand this? At all?" I ask and she sighs.

"Darling I know it's hard, and I'm thankful I don't know any of this. But I would give anything to stop this with you. I hate this for you so fucking much." She whispers. I feel tears rise in my eyes, and the familiar pressure in my chest. I wipe my eyes a little too furiously. I feel a hand on mine and look up to meet eyes with Lottie.
