Bad Luck {Louis Tomlinson} [ON HOLD]

Chapter 19 - Meeting, Catastrophe and Breakdown

Louis POV

I had earlier recieved a text from management and was called over for a meeting with the head of Modest! management. Management never calls unless something amazing or devastating is about to happen. I drove over to the building where they were based and gulped, eyes fixing on the large, immaculately cleaned building. I walked in the doors and the receptionist gave me the details, smiling as I walked away.

Opening the door to the meeting room, I looked around and shuddered at how incredibly cold it was before I sat down next to the head of management, his eyes staring into my soul.

"Hello, Louis, how have you been?" He asked icily with no interest.

"Good, sir, thank you," I replied quietly, looking at my lap.

"I hope you realise what your little stunt last night has caused us. Already are we recieveing articles of you cheating on Eleanor and bad publicity," He shook his head at me solemnly. "But, on top of the bad publicity, is a huge amount of good publicity, enough to make the bad stuff irrelevant, we recieved a call from Eleanor earlier today. She quit the contract," He seemed content to say this, no one ever really liked Eleanor.

"I'm terribly sorry, sir," I said, this time feeling a little more relieved.

"Yes, yes, of course you are. Now, now that Eleanor is out of the way I have a proposal for you-" he said, leaning forward to me as if he were sharing a secret "-I say, you start fake dating this Hazel girl. For the publicity. She will be given a one month trial and if she's adequite, she'll stay for the next five, then you can dump her. Be reminded, it's either this or you lose your job. Choose wisely," He said, his eyes seeming venomous like a snake's.

"But, Hazel needs to agree on this," I said warily.

"Ah, but, you see... Her friend, Will, he was unfortunately hit by a car, his parents can't afford the cost and she'd do anything to pay for them, she cannot turn down this offer," I gasped at what he said, she would hate me for this, oh my, Will! As much as I wanted to hate him, I knew I never could, I just couldn't hate such a pure soul like Will. Or Hazel.

"H-how will she find out, I mean, I'm in, but... I- " I said shakily.

"Look, Louis, it's a simpe yes or no question. Yes? Or no?" He spat at me.

"Y-yes, si-sir," I stuttered. I hate myself so much for this.

"Good. You may leave now, she'll recieve a call to come here. If she accepts, you will both meet here tomorrow," He nodded at me and I almost ran out of the room feeling like I was going to vomit. Oh my god.

Hazel's POV

~~~~~~

I was home but I hadn't made any move to do anything since I'd been there. My mum and Amanda were trying to comfort me but it didn't work. Nothing is going to work, I want my Will back... I need him back. Will's parents are stuggling to pay for the medical fees and I don't know what to do, I want to help them but with what? I barely have enough money as it is, I was getting a job soon to pay back my mum for all she'd done for me. Amanda came rushing in and she had my phone in hand. I looked at her weirdly as she pressed answer and held it up to my ear.

"Hello?" I asked shakily, my voice cracking randomly.

"Ah, hello, Hazel, how are you?" The voice spoke to me, sending chills down my spine.

"H-how- why- what?" I stammered trying to find the right words,

"Don't ask questions just listen," the voice spoke almost venomously, I grabbed the phone and held it up to my ear properly. "I would like you to immediately come to the address that I will text you shortly. This is extremely important, please hurry, I don't need you wasting my time," The line cut off and I recieved a text as soon as it finished. Ok then. I grabbed my car keys and drove to the address, after battling with my mother whether I should go or not. What have I done wrong?
