My paparazzi {l.s}

Harry's POV

To Louis💕: hey can we meet up. I need to tell you something.

From Louis💕: yeah sure Haz. How is the bakery at 5 sound? x

To Louis💕: that's good with me. See you there.

From Louis💕: okay then. x

I stare down at my phone and smile. I hope he doesn't hate me for all the trouble I had been causing him this past month.

I check the time and see it's 4:08pm and decide to take a shower. I grab a pink floral shirt and black skinny jeans with some white boxers.

I head into the bathroom and undress myself.  I get in the tub I had filled up with water and had put a pink bath bomb in it.

I grab my phone from the table right next to the bathtub and put my playlist on shuffle. One of the songs I wrote when I first started hanging out with Louis and had learned about my job.

Same lips red, same eyes blue

Same white shirt, couple more tattoos

But it's not you and it's not me

Tastes so sweet, looks so real

Sounds like something that I used to feel

But I can't touch what I see

I hum along to the song as I cleaned myself. After a while I drained the tub and started washing my hair. I get out and get dressed.

I check the time and see that it's 4:46pm. I curse under my breath before brushing my hair and putting it up in a man bun. I put my shoes on before grabbing my phone and keys and leaving the house.

I arrive at the coffee shop at 4:59pm and sit in the very back where I know no paps will see us. Not long after Louis walks in and sits in front of me.

"Hey so what is it that you wanted to tell me?"

"Uh I don't know how to say this to be honest. I know that you'll hate me. But I want you to know that I'm sorry and that I had no control over this. I was forced to do it. And now I'm rambling god dammit. I'm sorry."

I look to see Louis laughing which makes my nerves go down a bit. He grabs my hand and promises me that he won't hate me for whatever I did.

"I Uh basically uh." Clears throat while Louis stares at me with a raised brow. "Ihadbeenbasicallystealingmoneyfromyouandimsosorry."

"I'm sorry but you're going to have to slow down right there love. I couldn't catch a word you said."

I sigh and look down at my hands before saying, " I had been basically stealing money from you and I'm so sorry"

He sits up straight and just stares at me. He has an unreadable expression on  I sigh and start grabbing my stuff to leave when I feel a hand on my hand. I look up to see Louis staring at me.

"What do you mean stealing money from me?"

"My boss threatened me that he will kill my family or me if I didn't get him money. Since I was sacred I did it. I stole money from you. About 12k in total."

His eyes go wide and then anger started taking over him but then it turned into sadness.

"I have a recording of when he threatened me. I don't know how it recorded everything but it did."

"Let me see it."

I nod and quickly pull out my phone. I type in my password and go to my gallery. I click on the video and slide it over to Louis and he takes it.

~The recording~

"I quit"

Tony starts laughing

"Oh harry you sure are one stupid little boy aren't ya? Of course you are. Haven't you heard that no one quits here. Unless they're fired which will end with them going to jail or they'll end up 6ft under ground."

Harry cries out in pain as he is slammed into the wall.

"Do you want that Harold? Do you want to go to jail? Do you want to die? Or a family member of yours? Because if you do them I can make it happen."

Harry shakes his hair and says no. Tony let's go of him and tells him that he wants 3k by tomorrow morning.

Harry leave the office and looks down at his phone and smiles so bright. He starts thanking his grandmother before turning off the recording.

~End of the recording.~

Louis stares at me with sad eyes as he sets the phone down. I reach across the table and grab it. I turn it off and tuck it back inside my sweater.

"I understand if you hate me for stealing money from you."

I look up when Louis starts laughing. He looks hurt but happy at the same time. He reaches over the table and grabs my hand. He give it a squeeze before talking.

"Are you kidding me? Yes I'm mad that you did that but you were threatened. It was a life or death situation. You were just trying to protect the ones you love. Now the real question here is are you going to report it to the police."

My eyes go wide and I quickly shake my head. I'm grateful that he doesn't hate me but I can't report Tony to the police.

"I can't. I'm sorry but I can't."

"Why not?"

"It's my job right there. And he'll find a way to hurt me from inside the jail. No I can't."

Louis sighs and tells me that we'll find a solution to all this. He stands up and takes a seat next to me. He hugs me and starts telling me bout how Niall hit himself with a basketball in the face and how Zayn just watched his boyfriend cry out in pain.

Tony and the money was pushed to the back of our heads as we talked for a few more hours about our life.
