Strings Attached. (Louis Tomlinson Fanfiction)

Chapter Thirty

Now six months after Louis and Kylie have broken up

As much as I didn't want to go, I'm back in London for the week. Only for interviews and press.

But the only thing that sucks is that I went to the doctor yesterday. He had to do a small procedure to inject my vocal cords with something. Their supposed to mess with my vocal cords, and if after a week, my voice isn't back to its normal self, that means I need surgery.

So I have no voice. I can only talk for short periods of time. My voice is extremely shaky and it keeps cracking. If I talk for too long, then my voice will completely go out. Yay.

Walking into my old studio is extremely depressing. This is where Louis first asked me out. Where we first met. Where I wrote my first song about him. So many momentous things happened here.

Sighing, I head into the back room so Lea can get me ready. I stay silent all through makeup and her curling my hair.

Continuing to stay silent, I change into a tank top and wide legged pants with black heels. My hair is curled perfectly down my back.

Louis always use to run his hands through my hair and twirl it between his fingers.

Shaking the thoughts of Louis from my head, I head towards my interviews.

Of course, the interviewer asks me about my voice. So I explain everything for the thousandth time.

"So how's your new album coming along?"

"It's not coming along very much." I laugh lightly myself. "It's been really challenging for me to write songs lately. I'm just so uninspired."

"Do you think it has to do with your recent breakup with Louis?"

"Definitely. There's no doubt in my mind." I nod, playing with my fingers.

"How are you dealing with the breakup? I mean, by now everyone knows you've moved to New York to get away from him."

"No, that's where you're wrong." I say, not meaning to sound harsh. "I didn't move to New York to get away from Louis. I moved there to record with a producer who reached out to me."

"And was this breakup mutual?"

"Yeah, it was mutual. We both got together and just decided it would be best to take a break from our relationship." I explain lightly, my voice breaking. "But we did decide we'd get back together after a few months."

We agreed on three or four months. It's been six and we haven't seen each other. Or even a simple text has been exchanged.

Once my interview is done, I head into the hallway. Lea starts talking to me about my hair, but I tune her out. Until I hear someone shouting my name.

"Kylie!" Sophia screams, pulling me into a bone crushing hug.

"Sophia!" I whisper back, hugging her.

I hadn't even thought of the possibility of seeing Sophia or the boys. And if Sophia is here, that means Liam is here, which means the boys are here.

Louis.

"I missed you so much." She squeals. "How's your voice?"

"Pretty much gone." I say, placing a hand on my neck for a minute. "Are the guys here?"

"Yeah. And it's mums week." Sophia gives me a sympathetic look.

I sigh, biting my lip. "It's okay." I change the subject quickly. "Hey, you should come visit me in New York."

"Hell yes!" Sophia grins. "When are you going home?"

"Tomorrow." I say, clutching her hands.

"I'm coming!" She declares loudly. "Let me go tell Liam. Come with."

My eyes widen as she drags me towards their studio door. "No, Soph, please don't. I don't wanna see him."

"Listen here, you little New York bitch." Sophia snaps, making me laugh. "You two love each other so much, and even agreed to get back together. You're gonna have to see him soon."

"I'm just not ready." I moan.

"Well fuck me gently with a chainsaw." Sophia whispers, sending me into a fit of laughter. Shaking her head at me, she opens the door. "Liam, I'm leaving for New York with Kylie tomorrow."

"Kylie's here?" Liam asks.

I pop my head in the door, smiling and giving a slight wave. "Hi."

"Oh my god!" Niall shrieks. "You're beautiful vocal cords! What happened?"

For the thousandth time, I explain what happened. Maybe I should just write a letter and give it to anyone who asks.

"I can't talk for very long. Physically." I say, doing whatever I can to get out of this situation. Mine and Louis' eyes are locked. "Gotta get back to my interview. Bye. Talk to you guys later!"

I decide to make a bold choice before I leave. The boys haven't left yet so I'm sure Louis will see it. I tape the note to their studio door, hurrying out.

Louis.
I love you so much. Forever and always.
Kylie.
