I hate when my ship isn't doing well... I really get so sad.

Okay I'll warn you of smut but I won't tell you who cause it'll ruin the suspense


It had been two days since that awkward encounter in the airport and I have hated every second of it. I have cried to myself numerous times, attended press interviews where we were coached to lie to reporters and I was forced to give a public apology debunking my comments on Niall's apparent girlfriend.

I felt like a complete liar. I'm the brutally honest, talented and blunt guitarist Niall hired and I can't believe that I let a stupid industry trick me into believing I was happy and oblivious.

I didn't even want to finish the tour. I was miserable.

"Seventy-six bottles of milk on the wall! Seventy-six bottles of milk! Take one down pass it around, seventy-six bottles of milk on the wall." Louis sings out as we sit in the van being transported from the hotel to the stadium.

"Sing it with me!" Louis yells out and that's when Zayn and Liam groan out the next set of lyrics as I watch the whole ordeal.

I decided to take a short nap before I got a phone call. Due to the spacious band and Louis loud singing I moved two rows to the back and then answering the blocked number wanting some other entertainment.

"Hello, this is Harry." I groan into the phone when the feminine voice rang out.

"Hello haz." I hear Gemma speak into the phone. I refused to over react because this isn't even the worst thing to happen this week.

"God do you have anything better to do with your life besides try to kill me?" I ask rolling my eyes.

"Kill you? God no! I'm not gonna kill you Harry." She laughs into the phone before I look at the phone confused.

"I want you to live in my basement and never leave. And maybe then kill you." She says and I almost laugh due to it being my sister and not being used to her deranged speaking.

"What the fuck is wrong with you?" I ask genuinely wanting to know.

"Don't worry about that. Let's talk about why I really called you." She begins before I actually sit back to listen to whatever Mumbai jumbo none sense she wanted to say.

"I know that picture of mine was destructive to Niall and his image. But what you don't know is I have another picture in the same hallway where you guys are walking towards my camera showing your complete face." She says I felt my heart drop before I look up and lock eyes with Louis who sported a confused look on his face.

I try not to look worried but it was obvious.

"You have exactly two hours to surrender yourself to me before I leak this picture to the press and ruin Niall completely." She says and laughs obnoxiously before she finished off with this.

"I know you love him." She says and I quickly bring my phone down and hang up quickly before my phone ring again with a notification from Gemma.

I clicked on it and there it was. The picture of me and Niall holding hands about to turn and enter the room.

There on the picture was the beginning of everything worse.

Louis travels to the back on the van seeing the horrified expression on my face to my phone before he sat next to me taking it right out my hand.

"Holy fuck." He whispers under his breath before he looks up to me.

I didn't know whether I was crying because my job was at stake or because this picture would ruin Niall.
