Save Me (One Direction Fan-fiction)

Chapter 11

Harry's POV

Two hours. That's how long the boys and I wait for Simon. My nerves are getting the better of me and I pace back and forth across this cold tile floor until Niall makes me sit down.

I here the door open, creaking and sending a breeze through the room, as a familiar yet intimidating figure walks in. He wears his signature white shirt and jeans, and aviator sunglasses which are hastily removed. Ladies and gentlemen, Simon Cowell.

"Errrr..... Hi," I awkwardly greet out "guest" feeling the tension in the room rise like a newly forming wave.

"Harry, boys," he acknowledges us. He walks to the window looking out and observing the crowd of fans. He turns on his heel and looks directly at me.

"Let's get straight to the point," he directs making my gulp.

"What is your decision?"

"Well.... I know you had clear options for me but the boys and I came up with an alternative idea and-" "Spit it out then!" Simon cuts me off obviously annoyed by my pointless rambling (although I don't blame him).

"Here is our proposition," Liam diplomatically states obviously realizing I'm a stuttering mess at the moment, "We propose that Harry releases a statement saying he and Lily are a couple and that she is in a comma because she hit her head. This will give Harry good press about having a stable relationship for once and it will make him look super caring because he never leaves Lily's side." Liam finishes looking proud of his little speech.

We sit for the next few nail biting minutes as Simon takes in our compromise.

"Ok. Fine. We can use this plan but only one condition," Simon starts to speak choosing his words carefully. I feel a rush of anxiety.

"You can't always be here in he hospital and once Lily wakes up, you two must be the best, most loved , celebrity couple out there and do whatever I say. This means go where I tell you, talk to who I tell you and break up when I tell you, clear?" I'm not even listening anymore. All I needed to hear was a yes.

"Clear??" Simon raises his voice irritated at my not so quick response.

"Yes, yes clear! Thank you!" I reply.

"Alright well, I'm off but expect a call from me tomorrow for an interview date, and Harry? Make sure you at least shower before you leave the hospital, I don't want your fans to see you this way." Simon call on his way out the door, I can hear the smirk in his voice at the last bit.

"Oh my god." Is all I can say.

"Did Simon actually just accept one of our ideas?" Zayn questions to no one in particular clearly as in shock as I am.

"Well this is great!" Lou exclaims clapping his hands together. He then looks at his phone, which is buzzing with what I recognize to be El's ringtone.

"Shit!" He groans," I forgot I was meeting El for dinner tonight! I gotta go!". He hastily grabs his coat, knocking a chair over in the process and bolts out of the room.

"Three, two, one and here he comes!" Niall laughs knowing Lou forgot Liam drove. Right on queue Louis stumbles back in the room.

"Liam! Get your keys! Your driving me!" He pants from his burst of physical activity.

Laughing, Liam grabs the keys and asks if the boys mind eating diner with me until he can come back for them.

"It's fine, now go before El busts Lou's balls!" Zayn laughs waving Liam and a glaring Louis out of the room. Knowing, El she probably expected Louis to be late but at least he's making a well appreciated effort to get there on time.
