A Conspiracy

Chapter 4

Harry called his lawyer and spent fifteen minutes on the phone with him explaining the whole mess to him while Louis quickly called their mums to let them know everything was okay. Harry e-mailed his lawyer a copy of his contract as soon as the call ended.

H: And now we wait.

L: That we do.

D: Can we play then please

H: Sure sweetheart.

The family of three spent their Tuesday afternoon in each other's company enjoying the time spent together.

...

~Later That Day~

H: So I've arranged for two interviews for Thursday night and Friday morning.

L: Well that was fast.

H: I did what you said and called some of my celebrity friends a few of whom happen to own their own talk shows.

L: Good on you, love. What's Friday morning?

H: A radio interview. (He says sheepishly)

L: With Grimshaw right?

H: Lou, I need to be on with people who will actually give me a chance to explain my side of things instead of ambushing me in order to get their ratings up.

L: I know and I get it, I just wish it wasn't with him even though I know that it's for the best.

H: You could always come along.

L: No thank you, Grimshaw just riles me up and I don't need that with everything else currently going on.

H: You're still the only man for me, darling.

L: Not according to the media.

H: Louis. (He sighed)

L: No, Haz. It's getting worse, especially after Mr Marcus Butler decided to do his interview. How can someone be so... I don't even have a word for it.

H: For the right price most people will do anything and the bad part of it all is that it's going to be his word against mine in the end.

L: You have the support of your Husband and your son and everyone who knows you knows that all these rumours are utter nonsense.

H: Thank you for being my rock, Lou. (He says pulling him in for a quick hug)

L: Always, so what's on the agenda for tomorrow?

H: My lawyer and I have a meeting with Tom and everyone in management to see if we can come to some sort of amicable split because I want out no matter what.

L: What are you going to do once you're rid of them?

H: There are other prestigious record labels that want to sign me and we're going to make sure that whichever label I choose has a clause in my contract against anything like this ever happening again.

L: Good.

H: What are you and Dylan doing tomorrow then?

L: Were going grocery shopping because someone's been cooking up a storm today and I need a couple of things for Dylan too, so we'll go to the clothing store and then go buy groceries.

H: I wish I could come with you guys.

L: I'd switch place with you in a heartbeat if I could.

H: I know you would but I just need to suck it up and get over with it.
