Louis POV

We soon were walking through the all to familiar large glass doors of 91 Peterborough Road London, which we had jokingly dubbed 1D HQ many years ago. Oh how time had changed my perception of this building. We walked through the lush and expansive lobby, both nodding curtly at the receptionist. We already knew where we needed to go. Silence devoured us as we walked through the maze of a building, up this staircase, around that corner, through this door and that door. We stared at the ground, retracing the familiar path, not once breaking the rhythmic sound of our shoes echoing on the expensive tile flooring. Until we reached the door of 'Meeting Room 8' which displayed the One Direction logo on it. Outside the meeting room there were a few sleek black armchairs which were occupied by two very familiar boys on their phones. "Hey Li, Hey Nialler" said Harry awkwardly, breaking the silence.

"So..... how are the star crossed lovers today?" Liam greeted us, looking up from his phone with a cheeky grin. "Fine, actually, until now" I replied flipping him off. "You're gonna be in soooo much trouble" Niall said through a mouthful of what looked like crisps, which was a strange thing to be eating at like 9 in the morning. It reminded me that we hadn't had breakfast yet. I could see Harry trying to get into a comfortable position in the chair.. I held his hand and whispered " You okay Hazz? " Liam gave Niall a smirk and they started laughing.. "Yeah.. Just a little sore.." He replied. We heard footsteps outside the office and all of us immediately sat up straight and waited for the door to open. It was the head of management. He looked pretty pissed off when he came in giving Harry and a I a glare. This meeting was not going to end well.

"Boys" he said, giving us a cold yet polite nod. He then gestured at us to sit on one of the chairs positioned around a large, round, wooden table. He and 3 other managers took a seat at the head. This really wasn't looking good at all. I carelessly sat down and crossed my arms, glaring at the three men in expensive suits who were seated in front of me. "So what can we do for you today gentlemen" I said sarcastically, not breaking my glare. I noticed my three band mates nervously take a seat next to me, Harry sitting down carefully next to me scrunching up his nose bitterly,he was obviously in pain. I stifled back a laugh, it was a long night last night and management would go ape shit if they found out.

"Harold" said Marco, one of our managers, harshly. This all made us glance up. "What are you doing?" He continued, staring intensely at Harry. Poor Haz looked like a lost puppy under Marco's intense gaze, which made my heart melt with sadness. "Ummm I not sure what I'm doing wrong" Harry whispered looking down at his hands in confusion. I glared in resent at the man who was belittling my boyfriend. "What's wrong Marco!" I spat. Marco shifts his glare to me before focusing yet again on Harry. "Where are you sitting Harry" said Marco. Harry looks up at me, the sadness now evident in his eyes. He now understands 'what he has done wrong'. "Sorry" he squeaks in fright, almost jumping out of his chair and heading over towards the empty seat next to Liam. "What have I told you time and time again Harry..?" Says one of our other managers, Graham, sternly. Harry looked down at his fingers yet again and I reach under the table to squeeze his hand.. "Is there something WRONG with being gay?!?!" I yelled at the head of management.. "Louis...it's alright... " Harry said softly. "No it's not alright, they shouldn't be treating you like this!" I roared. Then suddenly the door to the meeting room slams open and in comes Zayn, puffing vigorously. "What have I missed?" He asks staring at the room which had now plunged into silence."Just one of those EXCITING meetings...." Niall said after a few seconds of silence. We watched as Zayn glanced around the room. He obviously noticed the tears forming in Harry's eyes as he went sat down next to him, giving him a concerned looked before looking over at me, I guess I looked like I was about to explode.

"Now.. Where were we.." "Oh yes! Harry too many people are questioning your sexuality so we have decided to give you a girlfriend.. " said Marco, clapping his hands together in a business like manor. " Are you fucking kidding me ?!" I spat at the heads of modest. ."Louis please calm down.. .. we've decided it's going to be Kendall..... Kendall Jenner.. It will get big publicity for the Kardashian's and for Harry also." He continued.

"Please... I can't do that again." Harry pleaded desperately . "The only person I want to be with is Louis!!" Then he began to cry. My heart broke at the site, so I quickly grabbed his hand underneath the table, hoping the reassurance would help him compose himself.

The rest of the meeting was like a blur to me, filled with worried glances and sad looks. I couldn't stop thinking about what management had said, and what management was doing to my relationship. I just wished that I could be free of this, we could be free of this. But the sad and inevitable truth was, we just couldn't.
