*Louis' P.O.V.*

Harry's been acting out ever since we got back from our little date, and he won't tell me what's wrong with him. He and I are currently sitting on the couch in Liam's room while he is pacing back and forth in front of us. Niall still isn't back yet and he left over an hour ago. My phone started vibrating from inside my pocket, so I pulled out my phone checking the caller I.D seeing it was Niall. I got up from my spot and walked out of the door.

"Where the hell are you? Liam is about to have a heart attack!" I quietly yelled at him. I could hear him laugh on the other line.

"I'll be there in a few minutes. I stopped by the music shop." He said. I let out a sigh of relief.

"Hurry back before he ends up on the floor." I told him. He replied with another laugh and hung up. I walked back in the room and saw Harry and Liam staring at me.

"What?" I asked nervously.

"Was that Niall?" Liam asked me. I nodded my head and I could see him visibly relax.

"Oh thank god." He sighed out plopping onto the couch.

"He said he'd be back in a few minutes." I told him. I walked back over to where Harry was still sat on the couch and sat down next to him. He put his arm around me pulling me closer to his side.

"We should get going." Harry said looking at the time, seeing it was almost 10:30. He got up holding his hand out for me which I took and stood up stretching my sore muscles. We both said good night to Liam and walked out. I saw Niall coming up the stairs before I walked into the room. He saw me and walked over with a worried expression on his face.

"You ok?" I quietly asked, closing the door and standing in the hallway.

"I don't know. Walking with them was just really awkward." He told me looking around before settling his eyes on me. I raised my eyebrow not understanding what he meant.

"Connor was flirting with me I think." He shyly said.

"Don't be ridiculous Ni, he knows you and Liam are together." I told him assuring. He just sighed and looked down.

"It'll be ok. I'm sure that it was just a misunderstanding." I told him giving him a hug. He smiled and walked to his room. I walked in and didn't see Harry.

"Babe? Where'd you go?" I called out. He came out of his room on his phone. He held up a finger listening closely to whoever was on the other end.

"Yeah ok." He said then hung up the phone.

"Who was that?" I asked.

"Simon. He's coming down tomorrow with the head of our management." He told me. All the color drained from my face.

"Wh-what? Why?" I asked.

"I don't know. He didn't say." He told me. Nothing good ever came out of meeting with them, so this can't be good. I sat on my bed thinking of what we could have done to get us in trouble. As far as I'm concerned we haven't done anything wrong.

"Come on babe, let's go to bed. No need to worry. Everything will be ok." Harry suddenly said coming out of nowhere grabbing my hand and leading me over to his bed. I laid on my side facing the wall when I felt Harry snuggle up behind me.

"Goodnight love." He whispered kissing my cheek. I pushed my body further against his and sighed closing my eyes falling into a dreamless sleep.

I awoke the next morning by the sound of Harry singing in the shower. I sat up rubbing the remainder of sleep from my eyes and stretching out my arms sighing a satisfying sigh when the joints of my elbow popped. A few moments later Harry walked out fully dressed.
