We Need A Reunion

Part 1

You may be wondering who I am. My name is Kayleigh Doherty, childhood best friend of Louis Tomlinson. We met when we were six and quickly became friends. My mum and I just moved from Donegal, Ireland to Doncaster, England after my dad died, and we became neighbours to the Tomlinson family. I went back and forth between Ireland and England during my primary and secondary school years as my dad had wanted me to get an Irish education.

After five years my mum got remarried to a really nice guy called Theo Hallam but I decided to keep my dads last name. The next year Theo and mum had my eldest sister Cara. My mum then went on to have eleven more kids (with two sets of twins thrown in and as well as a set of triplets). She had always dreamed of this big family and, luckily, so had Theo. During that time I helped babysit as I was twelve when mum had Cara. I helped Louis and his family through his dad leaving his mum with five kids. I helped Louis take care of the girls and his mum when she had her low days in bed. Together Louis and I made sure the girls were on time for things and were fed properly.

After Jay remarried the place brightened up and her new husband, Dan, helped Theo put a gate connecting our backyards so it would be easier to get to and from each other's houses.

When Louis and I were growing up we loved music and always wanted to produce and create our own, so we started writing down lyrics, quotes and thoughts into journals so that we could eventually  make them into actual songs. I was extremely excited when I found out my grandads brother, my great uncle John, was a music producer. He owned 'Audio Edits' which is one of the best record labels in the world and has many studios around the world. My weekends in Ireland were spent in the studio watching everything that was put into the music industry and I decided that I wanted to be a music producer and artist manager.

When Louis and I were eighteen I pushed him to do the XFactor where he was put in the band One Direction and the rest is history. I didn't really get to meet the boys because of school and all, but Louis and I face-timed whenever we could and made sure to not lose contact with each other. When the band split in 2016, I had finished my degree in law and management. Louis then asked me to be his manager and I got him signed to my uncles company. Everything was fine until Louis got a call from the one and only Simon Cowell in 2020.
