The fault in our management

The Aftermath

"Lou are you sure you're alright?" Niall asked concern laced in his tone. "I'm sure ni I just need some time yea?" Niall nodded and got up to finally get me some tea. After I came up from my drop I couldn't bring myself to say what was actually wrong so I stuck with the old "oh he's at home" story. You see the entire world believed that me and haz we're together but at the same time they believed any and all rumors, my band mates and friends however knew different.
"Answer your bloody phone you fucking twat!"
Niall screamed from inside the kitchen having tried Harry for the eighth time in the last ten minutes.
"He's not gonna answer ni, it's disconnected."
I said in a flat tone.
"Well why would he just disconnect it? Where is that brute anyway? Did he forget that we not only start tour soon but have a new album coming out." I sighed. Niall was frantic, desperate to help me in anyway he could.

"Of course he does ni, but that doesn't necessarily means that he cares at this particular moment. It would be easier to just wait until we all meet up and then talk to him in person, alright?" I really hoped that would shut niall up. I mean I love the man but I was really tired of hearing about Harry right now.

It was the end of autumn, rain still drowning the London streets as people busied themselves in trying to get in or under some shelter. I wish that was the only worry I had however I also loved the rain so I suppose if that was the only worry I had then I'd have none at all. That would be nice wouldn't it?
I cleared my thoughts as I walked through the big glass doors pushing my wet hair out of my face looking at the last person I wanted to see.
"Simon." I deadpanned.
"Louis, I'm glad you were able to make it! I see you're more willing to actually show up to our meetings now that you and Harry aren't together." Simon was smiling, but it wasn't a sweet smile or a kind smile, no it was a sadistic smile. This was Simon enjoying my pain and Paul was riding along with him.
"Did you drag me all the way out here to mock me?" I glared at the two men.
"Right. Of course not. You see Louis, we have a new...deal so to say for you." Simon chuckled pulling out yet another contract.
"I'm not interested in anymore of your deals." I spit out turning on my heals exiting the room but before I could Simon said something that peaked my interest.
"Oh you see I thought you'd say that but I don't think you're going to want to give up on this deal so soon." He laughed. I turned my head walking back into the room just enough for me to see what was going on. "And just exactly why wouldn't I?" I asked keeping a hard glare on my features.
"Bring him in." Simon said to Paul and I watched as the silent man of the meeting got up and left the room.
"Him?" I asked quirking up a brow.
"You see Louis, it's 2022. Gay is the new sex and quite frankly you and Harry are the only couple that hasn't come out yet in the past two years. I understand I helped keep you apart but it truly was for your own good." I didn't have to look at Simon to know he had an evil smirk plastered on his face.
"So what are you saying? I can have Harry back now that you've destroyed everything we had?" I was trying to keep my tears at bay honest, but it was so hard. Simon was just toying with my emotions. It was a game to him.
"That's exactly what I'm saying Louis. You've been with Elenor for two years and played our game, now you get the reward." Simon stated.
"And what reward would that be?" I asked.
"The thing you've wanted most from the start. The thing you crave so undeniably Louis, you're freedom." He smiles.
"Just like that? No strings attached? No song and dance? Just freedom?" The tears were now falling down my cheeks, this was a dream I didn't think I'd ever get.
"Well, there is one thing." Simon said.
"What is it?" I asked only eager to finally have answers and have my alpha, my haz back. Before Simon could answer though the big doors were opening again and my breath caught in the back of my throat as Harry stood in front of me while Paul sat back down next to Simon.
"What is this? I thought we were meeting with Taylor?" Harry stated and I couldn't help but die a little inside at how much deeper his voice had gotten. He's changed but I feel like I'd always seen and heard him this way.
"Harry, meet Louis. This will be your new omega. Taylor has found her soulmate so by contract we had to let her go. I'm sure you could find amusement in this one though."
Simon laughed with Paul following suit and I was confused at the situation and flustered by Harry's gaze.
"Who is this boy? I don't like men and you know damn well I don't play with them. No deal. I want a woman. A real women." He spat out glaring down at me and my heart broke suddenly understanding the conditions of my freedom. Of course I could have my freedom and Harry, because they knew Harry didn't want me. They'd brainwashed him into a womanizer who enjoyed causing pain as much as they did. Harry had no idea we'd ever met or been in love. I was erased from his memory. All the pain is gone through, was it for nothing?
