Two Ghosts |l.s|

Chapter 1

"What do you mean you're not sure?" Liam asks Harry with a slightly raised voice.

"I mean, I'm not sure," Harry responds, extending his long limbs onto the coffee table in front of him. "You know Louis doesn't exactly appreciate my existence like he used to."

Liam rolls his eyes. "Oh come on mate, you know that's not true. The only reason he's been acting all uptight is that that's exactly what he thinks about you. You guys have got to figure things out, the fans miss your friendship."

Harry sighs, "No-Li, the fans miss Larry. They miss our so-called relationship." Liam walks over to Harry and pushes his feet off the table. "You need to stop being so grumpy and gloomy. You're doing this thing. Not for Louis but for Simon. Look where he got us, if it wasn't for him we wouldn't be here, so the least you could do is be a guest judge." Liam says.

"Fine. For Simon. Call him and tell him that I'll do it." Harry responds. He gets up from the couch and walks over to the bedroom.

"Not so fast Styles; you need to call Louis and tell him you're doing this. I told him you'd call to let him know."

Harry stands there, mouth slightly open. "Why would you do that Li??"

"Oh don't be such a baby Harry, grow up and call the guy."

Harry huffs and gets out his phone, going to his contacts and pressing on the name that reads Lou:)).

The phone rings once....twice...

"Hello?" Louis picks up.

"Uh, hey Louis, Liam told me to call you about Simon's favour."

"Oh yeah, you're doing it right?" Louis says hopefully.

"Yeah, I'll be doing it. Do you know when we'll be starting?"

"Well, Simon wants us to meet him at his office in London in two days to talk about everything we'd need to know."

"Oh okay, I've got a show that day but it isn't until 8 so I should be able to make it."

"Great I'll call you in two days."

"Alright, goodbye Louis."

"Bye Haz."

The two days have passed by faster than ever and Harry doesn't know where that time even went.

He's currently driving to Simon's which is roughly a 30-minute drive from the hotel. Louis offered to carpool there however Harry kindly declined to claim he had a few errands to run beforehand. However, that was a lie. He just wanted to avoid a possibly awkward car ride.

Once he arrives he gets out of his car and makes his way towards the dark 6 story window covered building. Harry looks up at the building before entering it. He hasn't been here in a while. Last time was when their contract ended and they were officially on a hiatus.

"I'm here to see Simon Cowell," Harry tells the lady with bright red lipstick at the front desk.

"Right, Harry styles? He said to meet on floor 3 room 16. You know where that is?"

"Yeah, thank you."

Harry goes up the elevator and heads over to the room he's been in many times before. He knocks on the door and hears a few things shuffling around. "Come in!" He hears Simon's voice.

He walks in and smiles at Simon, "Hey Simon, Louis here?"

"Not yet but he said he'll be here in 5, so just take a seat while I get everything ready." With that Harry takes a seat in one of the chairs provided.
