Harry's POV

We finally got back to our own apartment because we have to do a photo shoot later. Apparently it will help our reputation if we pose with models. I don't see a point in it, but we have to do as management says. I swear they just want money, and we just want to please our fans.

"Lads! Time to go!" Liam shouted from downstairs. I heard a collective groan as I walked towards the door.

When we got there Lou and Lux were already there. I went over to play with Lux and Louis sat in the chair to get his hair and makeup done.

Once we were all done, we walked out to the shoot. There stood Bella and Eleanor. first we did group shots. Next we did a group shot with just Bella. We did this pose where we had our arms out and she laid in top if our arms.

"Bella suck in." the photographer shouts.

We continue to do different poses and the photographer keeps shouting hurtful things at Bella while sounding more and more frustrated. We change poses again.

"Jesus Bella! did you gain like 20 pounds or something! Suck your stomach in or do something!"

"You know what this photoshoot is over!" I yell at the photographer. I grab Bella's arm and drag her back to the dressing room along with the boys and Eleanor.

"That photographer was a jerk! he has no right to talk to you like that..." I was going to continue to rant, but Bella cut me off.

"It's fine, harry. and he is hired to criticize everything we do. Apparently my weight is a problem. Sorry I ruined your photoshoot." She pulled on a pair of sweatpants and a t-shirt then walked out the door. She left us all utterly speechless.

Bella's POV

I went home and when I walked in the door everyone ran from the living room to come hug me. I just tried to shrug them off.

"Bella that photographer had no right to do that." Louis told me looking me in the eyes.

"He did, it is what he gets paid for, guys."

"No, they are supposed to give simple direction on how to pose. not yell at you and tell you your fat." this time it was Niall.

"That's what is different between our jobs. Mine is to be pretty, skinny, tall, flawless skin, be tan, have big boobs, have a big butt, long legs, thigh gap, hipbones, collar bones, and cheek bones. Your job is to be buff and sing. They can't yell at you, they would get fired. For me they are paid to make me look perfect and then photoshop me." After that, I just walked over to the couch and picked up my laptop. I have to do funeral arrangements sometime.

They all just sat in silence around me. Everyone was here, all the girls, the band, one direction, and Lily. They were all in their phones, laptops, ipads, or watching tv. Suddenly Harry's phone rang, startling all of us. He quietly excused himself saying that it was Anne.

Harry's POV

My mum was calling me, so I got up and walked into another room.

"Hey mum!" I answered excitedly because I miss her dearly. All I heard from her was a heavy sigh and sniffling in the background.

"Hun, I have some bad news. Lexi's brother passed away, he was on the ship that exploded." She said as gently as she could.

"I can't believe Bruce is dead." I barely whispered with tears streaming down my face. I was really good friends with him.

"Harry, Lexi hasn't told me anything about a funeral. I am going to call her after this. If there is going to be a service, will you go?"

"Yes. She may hate me, but she needs someone to comfort her." I answered without hesitation.

"Well I will call her now and get back to you. love Hun, stay strong and have your boys give you a hug for me." I cracked a little smile at this.

"No problem, love you too." I heaved out a sigh after I hung up and walked back to the boys. They all instantly stood up to try to comfort me except for Lily and Bella. Bella went to take a call and Lily just sat there.

Bella's POV

When Harry came back, I got a call from Anne. I didn't think that she got my new number.

"Hello, Anne." I answered quietly.

"Hey honey, how're you holding up?" she asked cautiously.

"I am just trying to keep busy. I was working on the funeral earlier."

"Do you want me to come to London and help you?"

"Anne, that's really sweet, but I am almost done. I just need a date and venue."

"Lexie, I um I told Harry." She told me quietly. "he wants to be there for you."

"Why would he want to help me!?!" I raised my voice slightly.

"He still cares about you. Forget about him now. What have you been up to in the city?"

"I became a model. I really miss you, Anne and Gemma too."

"Come home for a little. We have a spare, remember."

"The funeral for Bruce will be soon, so why don't you just come stay at my place. I will send you directions and you can come here anytime you want."

"You sure, I don't want to intrude on you and Lily."

"Absolutely. Bring Gemma too though."

"Will do, love you honey."

"Love you too!" after the call I walked back to the great room to find everyone resettled onto the couches.

"Who was that?" Lily asked curiously.

"Auntie Anne is coming to stay with us!" I yelled excitedly.

"Really!?! I miss auntie Anne and her amazing cookies!!!" Lily yelled and started to bounce in the couch. "Wait is Emma coming too?"

"Yup!" we used Emma instead of Gemma because I think the boys would catch on. Lily started bouncing up and down again and then she got up and started running around the kitchen cleaning up.

"Lil, they won't be here for a couple days." I told her, and her excitement slowly faded away as she came back to the couch and pouted. I giggled and sat next to her.

"Who is Auntie Anne and Emma?" Eleanor asked with a spark of deviousness in her eyes.

"Auntie Anne and Emma are my aunt and cousin who live in Mayfair." I smirked at her so she knew that I was lying.

A/N

Guys, I know I apologize like every chapter for not uploading sooner. I really am though. I usually write when I need to clear my head and go to another world. When my life gets too complicated I usually come here. Well my life has gotten to the point of stressful ness that I can't sleep because of everything racing through my mind. That is why I came here and wrote a pretty long chapter. You guys probably don't want to hear about my life though, so I hope you liked it, and I hope to update soon!

I LOVE YOU ALL!
