Chapter 19:  Den of evil

*Harry's POV*

I felt so sick.  I wanted to stay home.  I didn't want to go to the interview with Little Louder Now.  I hadn't eaten or slept in days and I was starting to feel pretty loopy.  The boys said I needed to be there though.  I was here for moral support or some shit.

Right now we were in the den of evil, also known as sugarscape.  They had unknowingly made my life hell these past couple of days.  It couldn't have been much easier for Ollie either, having to sit here and smile at these women who were writing all those lies about her. 

They had released an article this morning about how Nathan and Ollie were "together" for 10 months.  The thought was making me even more dizzy.  The only perk to this whole mess was that my twitter stalker was leaving me alone.  Maybe he was out tweeting Nathan right now to "fuck off and die" because he is "with" Ollie.  I probably looked demented right now because I was standing here smiling at the thought of people harassing Sykes.

I was brought out of my trance when I heard the interviewer start talking.

"Hi, I'm Trish and welcome to sugarscape.  Why don't you girls introduce yourselves."

"Hello everybody.  We're Little Louder Now and I'm Holland," she said with a fake smile plastered on her face. 

Liam gave her a grin and a thumbs up from behind the camera.  He had found me in the den this morning and told me that the two of them had made things official last night.  Lucky fuck.  Everything was working out perfectly for everyone but me.

"I'm Charlie."

"And I'm Ollie.  We're really happy to be here," she said, forcing her words out trying to make them sound plesant.

"It's been a big week for you ladies, right?  You're going on tour with one of the biggest acts in music, One Direction!" Trish exclaimed.  "They even joined you here in the studio today."

"Yup.  We were beyond lucky to get the gig.  This is huge for us since we're still relatively unknown.  I don't even know how this happened," Charlie gushed.  She did seem genuinely happy when she said these words.

"What kind of music do you play?  Tell your potential fans out there what they can expect when they go to your show," Trish urged.

"We're pop punk and actually we're going to play two songs today so you can get a taste of our sound," Holland informed her.

I didn't know anything about this.  I had no idea they were going to be performing today.  As Holland had said this, Ollie had caught my eye and winked at me.  Was this part of their plan?  I don't know because I feel wobbly and weak on my feet.  My brain isn't really working right and it's hard to pay attention.  When was the last time I ate?  I mentally ticked off the meals I had missed.  6 by my count. I hadn't eaten anything since day before yesterday's breakfast and all I had then was a bowl of cereal.  Shit.

"Niall," I nudged.  "Niall.  Do you have something to eat on you mate?"

He looked away from Charlie who was now answering another question long enough to grumble "No.  Why?  You okay?"

"Yeah, I'm just fine," I lied.  I was starting to feel cold, clammy and slightly sweaty.  I tried to focus back on the discussion in front of me.
