Change My Mind

Third person:

       Louis walk into the building, greeting the woman at the front desk,

        "Morning Mary."

        "Good morning Louis, Richard is waiting for you in his office," Mary smiles, creases by her lips indenting, showing her age.

        "Wish me luck!" Louis says, his palms sweating from his nerves. He walks into the large office, one of his big managers Richard, sits in a large black chair, his hands lay in his lap, his feet propped on top of his desk.

        "Louis!" Richard stands from his seat, fixing his black tie as he walks over and shakes Louis' hand, "Nice to see you."

        "You as well," Louis replies, sitting down on the grey chair in front of Richard's desk. Richard proceeds back to his chair,

        "I'm so happy for you!" Richard says as he sits. Louis gives him a confused look,

        "I'm sorry, what?"

        "You came here to ask about some relationship question, you want to know if it's okay to propose to Eleanor! and the answer is yes!" Richard states happily. Louis furrows his eye brows,

        "Well not ex-" Louis tries, though Richard cuts him off,

        "Don't worry! It would be great for you and Eleanor to marry, we can have a huge wedding and get so much publicity. The rest of the boys will be your men of honor, it'll be wonderful!" Richard cheers.

        "I'm sorry Richard, but I came in here to talk about the opposite actually." Louis blurts, wanting to get straight to the point. Richard's face drops,

        "Continue."

        "Well Eleanor and I were having problems, and we both agreed to end it." Louis states. Richard shows no emotion,

        "Well... maybe that's good, another single member will get the hopes up for the fans," Richard smiles again.

        "That's not it." Louis says, "I'm in a relationship with another girl." 

        "Another girl!?" Richard shouts.

        "Yes, her name is Katie- Katheryn Bay."

        "No. No. No. this can't be, you have to end immediately." Richard states.

        "I-I can't. I want to be with her." Louis confesses. Richard shakes his head,

        "You need to end with her, this can't happen."

        "Why?" Louis asks, a little bit of anger running through him.

        "Because everyone will think you were cheating on Eleanor if you entered a relationship this quickly! It would turn into a huge scandal, and that can not happen." Richard says firmly.

        "Listen, I don't care what other people think. I'm going to be with Katie,"

        "You can't." Richard says again. Louis rolls his eyes,

        "Let me talk to Simon." 

        "He'll say the same thing." Richard states. Louis stands from the chair and leaves the room. He rushes out of the building and gets in his car, breathing in the cold air, trying to control his anger.

Louis:

        "Katie?" I call, walking into Katie's house. She rushes down the stairs, a huge smile on her face,

        "Lou!" She calls, jumping into my arms and kissing me on the lips. I smile, the anger seeming to disappear when I'm with Katie. "What did they say? When can we go public?" She asks anxiously, her smile never leaver her face. I feel my stomach drop, not wanting to see the look on her face when I mention we can't go public, let alone even be together. Though as I work up the courage to tell her the bad news, I realize I can't do it,

        "They said they don't care, whenever we feel like it!" I lie, though It's worth it when her face brightens and she sequels in delight.

        "Oh I'm so happy! Everything's perfect," She pulls me into a hug, and I feel a tinge of guilt run through me. "This day can't get any better," She whispers. 

        "I know..." I reply.

Sorry for such a short chapter!
