Dear Diary

Virginie's Point of View

December 31th

Dear Diary,

It has been a long time. A lot has changed since the last time I wrote to you and I have never been happier. Let's just say that Christmas Eve changed our lives entirely, but since then a lot of things happened.

It might have been the most wonderful few days I've had in forever. To make it short, I had a deep conversation with Mom. I learned that my Dad was better at hiding his emotions than I thought. I bought my first brand new car with H and Dad. I saw Matt again. It turns out H broke some bones in his right hand while beating Mr. Goodman. The media literally ate my boyfriend alive when the news came out about the arrest and he had to do major damage control, so he left me to go to New York. He decided to release our song at the strike of midnight on New Year's to distract the attention from the arrest and let the media talk about the music instead. So, that's what happened in short. Now, let me explain.

On December 25th, Harry and I got in the shower after being in the gym and couldn't go back to sleep. We decided, since everyone was asleep, to head to town to get some breakfast to surprise them when they woke up. Instead, we are the ones that got surprised. We were heading to the cashier when, on the stand, I saw Harry's face when we stumbled upon the newspaper. His face was all over it, bruised and bloody. They had his mug shot and pictures of the both of us leaving the police station from the night before. I was more concerned than he seemed to be. I was in shock, completely. I was freaking out when he was staying calm and observant. I was very worried about what they might have said about him, when his only concern was how they would refer to me in their article. I couldn't stand people seeing him that way and using this to get sells and attention. Without even thinking, I took every copy of the paper in my hands and bought every single one of them from the store. It was far from getting the news to spread like wildfire.

Social media went crazy, obviously, so H and I turned off our phones the time we ate breakfast with our family, but the second he turned it on, Jeff had blown his phone with voicemails. I was thankful for Anne and Robin to keep company to my parents, because I couldn't leave H's side and I tried my best to help them find a solution. They talked on the phone practically all day trying to find a plan. Jeff set up a marketing team to come up with solutions. But an idea struck me while they were talking. I asked Harry to put me on speaker phone to share it with his manager. Without doubting me a second, Harry obliged, showing me that even when it comes to his career, he trusts me. I suggested to Harry to release our song earlier to distract the medias and the fans of the drama to talk instead about hat truly matters, the music. They both agreed it was a great idea. It's like they did with the song Perfect when the boys cancelled a show because Liam was ill. Fans were upset so they released the song. Everyone forgot and everyone was happy.

On a sadder note, Jeff asked H to fly to New York to meet at Columbia's headquarters and go over their marketing plan. It's because it was an emergency that he agreed to do business in the middle of the Holidays. I don't know how many times he tried to convince me to accompany him in America for his short trip, but I couldn't leave my parents here alone. It made me sad that, now that we are back together, he must leave me so quickly already. But it was my fault he was in this situation in the first place.

On the 26th, once that Anne and Robin left us to drive back to Holmes Chapel, I decided to shop online to buy myself a car. Dad is my reference when it comes to a lot of things in life, but principally when it's about cars. We were both sitting on the couch in the living room, looking at the screen of my laptop. Harry surprised us and sat on the other side of me to shop with us, reminding me he needs to find a car for himself too and return the rental soon.
