Strings Attached. (Louis Tomlinson Fanfiction)

Chapter Twenty Nine

"And piece by piece
He'll restore my faith
That a man can be kind and a father can stay..."

I bite my lip nervously as my management team listens to Piece By Piece. I can't tell if they love it or they hate it.

"Is this true? Did your father leave you?" Amanda asks once the song is over.

"Um, yeah." I say nervously. "The song is kinda about my step dad and how he brought our family back together."

"Wow, this is a really amazing song." Amanda says. "Release the song." I fiddle with the sleeves of my sweater. "You know, you keep loosing your voice lately. Maybe you should head to the doctor and check that out. Go to the hospital now."

Amanda doesn't give me a choice. She gets me a driver to the hospital.

In short, what the doctor told me is that there's a possibility I have permanent damage to my vocal cords. Which means I might need surgery. Which would end my career. Everything is at stake here.

Yay. Just yay.

The next two months go by extremely fast. Piece by Piece has come out and everyone loves it. Unfortunately, I have to turn down all the offers to perform the song live because it's just too emotional for me. I'd break down in tears.

Still, I haven't heard anything from Louis. But I'm loving New York, I'm not sure I ever want to go back to London. I've already sold my flat there.

Realizing it, I have exactly what I've wanted from the beginning. No strings tying me down somewhere.

But I've gotten used to the idea of having someone in a single place. Traveling around the world by yourself gets lonesome. I've always needed someone to go with me. And I found that person. Louis.

But I let him go.
