A song for you

Punishment

"You all look nice and scared. Good. Now this is whats gonna happen. Your going to get what we managers call beards. It's basically a girlfriend that keeps you looking straight. You no longer will be allowed in eachothers rooms at all. There will be a security guard by your side at all times is that clear?"

"Sir don't you think this is a little much?" Harry looked up as Liam spoke.

"No. No I don't. Your lucky I didn't get rid of the band in general. It's to much of a money maker though."

"And what are happens if we break these rules?" Zayn looked at the manager

The manager looked right back at him. "Then you will leave the band. Don't forget I control your social media,where you go, who you talk to. Hell I even control who you see. You all have families you really don't want to never see them again do you?"

All the boys stayed quiet that time. All of them had lost their fight. There was nothing any of them could do. They were trapped.

"Now all of you are going to be escorted to your rooms. You will have someone outside the door so no trying anything."

Again no one said anything. They were taken to their rooms. They weren't even allowed to have their phones.

Everything seemed cold. Harry sat on the floor of his room wondering what would happen. Could he and Liam really not be together now? They had just started. Was it really all over?

Zayn was curled up in his bed. He  couldn't believe it. Here he was thinking everything was going good then life took a swing at him. Louis face...he was emotionless. Why? For a second Zayn wondered if Louis had told them.

No he wouldn't. He never would. It's just the odds...after they had...and then all of a sudden everyone knew? No he wouldnt...right?

Liam kept trying to convince the manager to let him see harry.  Nothing would work though. At one point he gave up and just took a shower.

All of them were locked away until diner. Liam was the first out although the guard was still right next to him.

Then Niall,Harry, and Zayn. "Where's Louis?" Liam looked between the boys. "You don't think he...he..."Zayn couldnt even say it. "He what? Told? Zayn you don't think that do you?" Harry looked behind them but the guards were talking so he hoped they didn't hear.

"I'm not...I'm not sure...I mean what are the odds we would sleep together and then all of a sudden the manager knows. It's also weird that he was with the manager when they told us."

The boys all looked at him. It's true the facts were against Louis in this situation.

Zayns eyes started to water. "M-maybe he got what he wanted and figured he was done."

"Zayn don't cry. I don't think Louis would do that." Liam tried to be helpful. "Then why did he look emotionless huh? He's never looked like that before. Maybe he felt guilty."

"Well that kinda hurts." The boys all turned. Louis was standing in the entrance way to the dinner room. He looked hurt.

Zayn looked at him. He didn't know what to say.

Louis took a deep breath. He sat down alittle away from everyone else.

"H-how much of that did you hear?" Zayn was worried what the answer would be.

"All of it. You know what's funny Zayn. I didn't tell anyone. I had left to make breakfast when the manager pulled me aside and asked why you were in my room. I lied. I said you'd come over to help me with a song and fell asleep on the floor. When he'd told me he knew what happened. That we'd been video taped he threatened my family. Specifically my mother. She's sick you know. It would be easy. Those were his exact words. So yes I was emotionless. I could have lost it all if I wasn't."

Zayn swallowed hard. He wished he had never said that. Never thought it. He wanted so bad to take it back.

"You know what I'm not hungry. Bye everyone." Louis stood up and his guard followed after him.

Zayn looked at his food. He wanted to puke. "L-louis I'm sorry. I-i-" "Its fine."

Louis voice was cold. He didn't even look at Zayn. Then he walked away.

"H-hey guys it will be okay. Right? You guys will work it out I know you will." Niall tried to sound hopeful.

"I-i don't know. I messed up. I messed up so bad." Zayn started to cry.
