After that whole ordeal with my mother at the hospital I took the next flight back to L.A. By the time I stepped foot off the plane paparazzi were following everywhere I went. On any other day I would have been pissed but at this point I was just exhausted.

I didn't get anytime to unpack or to settle in. On the drive home I got a call from someone I really didn't want to hear from, Mr.Jefferson. I reluctantly answered, hoping, praying that he wouldn't be mad. He sounded surprisingly calm when he called, he only told me to make my way to his office and that was it. I should be rejoicing but I knew that couldn't be it. I knew he was mad and that I would definitely get told off, I just didn't understand why he didn't do it all ready.

Heading up to his office was the same as it always was. I tried to stay hidden from everyone not wanting to be notice at all. I wanted this to be over as quickly as possible but at the same time I was dreading this talk. I didn't know if it was possible to back out of something as big as this but I knew I had to at least try. Mentally I don't think I could take anymore.

I knocked softly on the hardwood door. The longer he took to open the door the more my chest tightened. My thoughts soon dived into Harry. Every single time since I first met him he has been the one to open the door. He was probably mad at me, he probably hated me. I cant think of anything I specifically did that would have him hate me, but if I was him I know I'd be at the top of the 'I actually hate them but I don't want to seem like a bad person so let me be their 'friend'' list.

I was interrupted by a strong breeze on my arms. My skin broke out in goosebumps. I walked straight in, not making eye contact. I may have not looked up but just by the way they were dressed I had a sense that it was Harry. I took a seat on one of the chairs in front of Mr.Jefferson desk and waited. The door clicked behind me but I didn't dare look back.

I fiddled with the strings from my sweats, twirling them around my finger.

"Louis nice of you to finally join us after that leave of absence." I looked up slightly, finding somewhere to look other than his eyes.

"I don't know what to do with you anymore, everything isn't about you Louis, this is about Harrys show that hasn't even started yet and you've already managed to mess it up."

I focused on his words. He was right, I was being extremely selfish. Even when I think I'm helping someone else I manage to fuck something else up.

"May I say something." The first thing I've heard from Harry this while time.

"I think that if his heart isn't in this then he shouldn't be either."

I glanced sideways at Harry seeing him already staring at me. We gave each other small smile and him a slight nod in my direction. Our small moment was interrupted by a venomous laugh form Mr.Jefferson.

"Its adorable how you two think you can just get out of this. It too late, we all have a contract signed and it would take months and an unnecessary amount of money to get out of it."

I slumped down in my chair. That was it, there was no way I could get out of this.

"Ok well you two boys can be on your way. And remember what I said Louis"

Harry was the first to get up and I soon followed. We walked down silently to the car park which was under the building. I walked over to his car.

"I'm sorry" I blurted out startling him and myself.

"I'm sorry, I've been awful lately. I've just been going through so much and I don't know how to fi-"

I was cut off by a pair of arms wrapping themselves around me. I hadn't realized I was crying until I felt the wet patches on Harrys sweater pressed against my cheek. He rubbed soothing circles against my lower back as he held me.

"Did you drive here?" He asked quietly. I shook my head no. Today like most days lately I had my driver drop me off. He brought me around to the other side of  his car. He opened the door sitting me down and buckling me into the seat. He placed a kiss to the top of my head and shut the door walking over to the drivers side.

The drive was somewhat short to Harrys house. I hadn't actually stopped crying yet. The walk to his door step was a lot longer as he practically had to carry me inside. My head was mushed against the side of Harry neck shielding me from the anything around us. Flashbacks from the last time I was here paraded around my mind reminding me of how much I freaked out.

I was cuddled into his side wiping my tear stained face with his sweatshirt.

"Are you ok?" That simple question caused me to come clean with everything. Every single secret, lie, thought, that I've had spilled out. I stuttered and tripped over my words but I didn't let that effect how much I was saying. I told him about how my mom has cancer, and about how I didn't really care. I told him about how my mom held me that day in the hospital but merely a few hours later she acted like nothing happened. I told him about my sister and my dad. I told him about how  much I hate myself and somewhere in there I added how much I love him.

I didn't realize this until recently, but every time I'm with him I felt safe. I didn't think the feeling where mutually up until it happened. In between my rambling he pulled me close and pressed his lips on mine. It was a slow tender kiss. The one the main character gets at the end of every move, right befour things start to turn around for them. This must be my turning point. This whole time I was searching for love and acceptance form the wrong person. It doesn't matter what my mom thinks about me, I've got someone who cares and loves me for me.
