"Good news is, the rate of people searching one direction has sky-rocketed. Bad news is, the majority of your fans are flipping their shit that you've even been speaking to Justin Bieber, let alone sleeping with him!".

Niall had barely even stepped foot into the management building before opinions and demands had been fired at him from all angles. He was pretty pissed off at having to be there as leaving Justin wasn't something that he really wanted to do, so people telling him what to do wasn't something he needed right now.

"Okay, chill." He said, before anyone else could say anything remotely about this whole fiasco. "It looks like Justin's management will be putting an end to this thing pretty soon, so don't loose your hair over it, ok? Plus, the fans will get over it! Harry and Louis are together, for goodness sake!"

Their management rolled their eyes at the mention of 'Larry Stylinson'. It was no secret that Modest weren't fans of the boys' decision of outing their relationship, but it was something that they had learned to accept.

"Niall, calm down." One bald guy said from one end of the long table they were sitting at. "Just, take a seat."

Niall reluctantly sat down on one of the chair that was furthest away from the others. "I'm fine, ok. But Justin isn't and he needs me right now. So can we just cut to the chase and get on with whatever bright ideas you guys have thought up?" 

He knew he was being rude, and Niall wasn't usually like that, but he really didn't want to be here right now and management always seem to interrupt at the most inconvenient times.

Management, however, were used to it. One of the boys always seemed to have their back up about something they had done.

"You need to deny this whole thing on twitter." 

All they got in return was a scoff and a shake of the head. "No way." 

"You have twenty-four hours, okay? If you haven't done it by this time tomorrow, we'll see to it being sorted. It's your choice." 

Niall rolled his eyes and stood up abruptly. "Just let it run it's course, ok? Justin doesn't need you lot poking around in his sexuality decisions, for fucks sake." He turned around and stormed out of the room, slamming the door shut behind him and walking straight out of the building.

Justin's POV.

I paced back and forth, along the floor that was just the slightest bit too cold beneath my feet, while Maddie typed a reply back to Scooter.

It's Maddie. Justin is not going to LA to be poisoned even further by your twisted games, ok?

Send Selena out. 

It's not ideal. I know it's not. But I don't have a hope in hell of dealing with this whole thing head on, not right now, at leat. I'm just a coward that's gonna hide behind a bunch of lies instead of deal with the things that matter.

What's new?

"I've sent it." Maddie said, looking up at me with guilt ridden in her eyes. "I'm really sorry, Justin. I knew Kara was capable of pulling some stupid shit like this, I just didn't want you to think I was controlling who you were friends with, you know?"

I smiled, before shrugging my shoulders and turning to my coffee. 

"Dont be blaming yourself, Mads. It's all on my shoulders. I was stupid enough to let it happen." I sighed. I knew not to be so stupid. Countless hours of lectures on how to keep myself safe, and I'd blown it in one night.

"Stupid enough to let what happen? You were just spending time with your boyfriend, like any normal person!" Maddie cried, clearly getting angry with the whole situation.

Boyfriend. That word sends shivers up and down my spine. Boyfriend. I'm gonna have no fans left. What will people think?

I didn't want anyone to be angry with me, I just want things to be normal again. 

Maddie was continuing to lecture me on how I should be fine with this whole thing and that it wasn't my fault, or something like that, I just can't focus on anything right now. I needed to be with Niall.

Just as I was about to ask Maddie to just.. stop, my phone started ringing. 

"Justin? I'm really sorry, but we've got an emergency meeting about the new album leak and it's really important that I go. I know I should be with you right now but maybe some time alone to think would be good for you?" It was Niall.

My heart sank, but I didn't want him to feel bad.

"Yeah, you're probably right. You should really go, it sounds important." I tried my hardest to make my 'smile' come through the phone, but it was clear it didn't work.

I could hear Niall sigh, and I frowned. "There's just one other thing..." 

He trailed off, which  made me nervous.

"What? What is it?" 

"It's in Florida. The meeting is in Florida." Disappointment ran through his voice and I could tell that he really did feel bad.

I tried to forget about what this actually meant, and forced another grin. "Just go, yeah Ni? Your job is most important in all of this, ok?"

"What? No it's not! You're most important!" He replied.

"Just go, ok? I love you. Bye." 

"Justin wait-" 

I cut off the call. I didn't want to get upset because that would just make Niall feel worse that he already does, and that's really not what I want.

Maddie was asking questions but I just shook my head and found my way up to my bedroom. 

I grabbed my phone and plugged my headphones in, pulling up the first playlist I could find.

'You and I' started playing. Of course. I sighed and turned it up loud - blocking out the random noises in the outside world. 

Burying my head in the stack of pillows I had seemed to gathered over the past few weeks - courtesy of Niall (he can't sleep without a minimum of 3) - and just thought about what the hell was going to happen.

~~

I woke myself up someone, and was greeted with darkness surrounding me. 

I looked at the clock: 3:18 am. 

While pulling my headphone out of my phone, an iMessage popped up with 'Niall♥' at the top.

I'm always here for you ok? Even if I'm a thousand miles away, I'll be here, forever. Don't forget that baby. I love you so much.

I smiled a bit as my eyes glazed over a little.

Pressing the camera button, I took a picture of pillow mountain - which you could hardly make out because it was so dark - and sent it back with an 'I wish I was cuddling you and not your crazy-ass pillows.

I locked my phone and lay it down on my bedside table, then wrapped myself up in my blanket and closed my eyes.
