"Please explain." David asks me, eyeing me and the boys in turns.
Everything is tense and quiet, except from my occasional snuffles on my sleeve. All of us had to put our phones on silent too, which contributes to the silence that has fallen.
As I swallow through ny tears, I swear everyone could hear me gulping loudly.
"Well... I-I was trying to hide but I guess not.." I trailed off, realising I had no reason as to why I had decided to shuffle the last minute.
"Well, 'trying to hide' didn't work, clearly. Do you know how bad this makes us look? Your chest was practically on show, which is suggestive!" He raised his voice.
Suddenly, the guys became offensive.
"Woah, David! It was my fault, not hers! I should've paid more attention, I'm sorry." Jonah explains.
"Well, you never usually do. Neither of you boys do. Do you know how hard it is be in the music industry? Know just how hard it is to be brought up in it? And what do you guys do? Play around like kids?" he glared at them.
More tears are falling down my face, as I try to keep quiet. I looked like a mess but I quite frankly didn't care.
"In all respect David, we're still young. We want to enjoy youth." Jonah piped back, unafraid of the middle aged man towering in front of us.
David narrowed his eyes before sighing.
"Do you know what? Fine. Be that way. But let me tell you, anything like that shit again and I swear to god-!" he raised his voice before looking at me once more.
"Next time, try and cover up okay?" he asks, lowering his voice sofly.
I can't speak. So, I just nod instead.
With the corner of my sleeve, I dab at my wet eyes and my nose, determined to stop crying.
"Other fans are mad because they recognised you, am I right?" David asks me.
How the hell does he know?
I nod slowly though.
"Jesus, you were supposed to stay hidden for a reason.... this will hopefully have died down by a couple of days. But right now, I want all of you to make a statement. Claiming that you're not love interests to her, you will not say her name and you will tell people to delete the video as she is clearly upset. Got it? If there's more problems, I'll be in my office." David instructs the boys sternly, before walking away. The rest of the team have stayed quiet but walk away too.
We all stay silent after that, in a tense atmoshpere.
"I don't want to upset you further Eli." Corbyn finally speaks out.
"Why would you?" I ask, having finally had the chance to blow my nose on a tissue nearby, making me feel a lot better.
"Never mind." he answers.
