Louis was a city boy but not just any city boy, a world famous city boy. Born and raised in Doncaster and then dragged into a world of cameras and no privacy. It was his choice though, he auditioned for the X factor. He asked to be known,

What he didn't expect though was to be put in a band with three other members. He didn't expect to become best friends with them, he never thought he would see them as brothers but that is what happened. 

Niall, Liam and Zayn. He doesn't know where he would be without them. They cheer him up, they make him laugh because they are always there for him. They are the brothers he never had but always wanted. They went on this journey together and one day they will end this journey together but that is a long way away, to be even thinking about it.

Louis had been told many times in his life that he would never amount to anything but he proved those people wrong. He wanted to be a singer, he became a singer. He wanted to be a footballer, he bacame a football. Anything he wanted to achieve in life, he went for and succeeded in. He wanted to be an actor...he got to be an actor.

Making music was the best thing to come out of the X Factor. Louis could write songs with the boys and perform them all over the world to their dedicated fans. Though Louis never understand why people would pay hundreds of pounds to see him live or buy merchandise. The idea seemed crazy to him. After all, he was only human. 

He wouldn't give up his job for anything but that doesn't mean he wouldn't want to change some things. Maybe just one thing. His management.

Growing up, Louis always knew he was gay. He only ever told a few people, those closest to him. He told his family and he told the boys but apart from them, there was only a couple of other people who knew. He wanted to keep it that way until he was ready. 

It was about a year after the X factor, that he felt ready. He had kept his secret for long enough and he was finally prepared to tell the world. He didn't care that people might judge him because he knew people would. Whether he was famous or not, there would always be some people who wouldn't accept him. 

He asked his family and the boys what they thought about his plan and they agreed that it was his choice. They would support him through anything. He was thankful.

Louis first went to his management to discuss matters, he knew he had to. He also knew that they weren't going to be fond of the idea but could they really do anything? Band members have been allowed to come out as gay before, so why not him? It turns out, they had more control than they thought.

His management hated the idea. They refused to allow one of the members of the world's biggest boyband to come out as gay. The idea from then on was forbidden. Apparently it would loose them fans and his management money. Louis knew there would consequences and he always thought about how much support he would loose but never did he think a group of people would care more about money, than someones happiness.

So from then on Louis was forced to keep his sexuality hidden. It wasn't his choice anymore, it was someone else's and that is what made him angry.

After that conversation that day, Louis thought the topic would drop. He hoped it would drop, so he could bring it up later, when he was more prepared to stand up and fight for himself. It didn't end though.

Two weeks after the meeting happened, management rung him up and asked him to come into the office. Louis had a little gleam of hope in him. He thought that they had changed there minds and that they were going to let him be free. As usual he was wrong.

Instead of 'we are going to let you come out' speech, they gave a 'we are going to give you a fake girlfriend' speech. Louis was beyond furious. How did they think that would make things better? He had no choice in the matter though and that is how Louis got be the actor he wanted to be. Just not necessarily the role he wanted.
