Little Things ✔ [Narry / lilo]

14. They Don't Know About Us

They don't know about the things we do
They don't know about the "I love yous"
But I bet you if they only knew

They would just be jealous of us,
They don't know about the up all nights
They don't know I've waited all my life
Just to find a love that feels this right

Harry's POV

We were all nervous, especially Niall and Louis.

Niall was biting down the left over nails he had on his fingers, and Louis was eating Liam's head with 'what ifs'.

I and Liam were nervous too but we didn't show as we had to take care of our better halves.

I went to Niall and brought him to my lap and played with his golden hair, to calm him down which apparently worked as Niall stopped biting his nails. He hid his head on my chest and I ran my hand along his back.

Liam saw the ways I tried to calm Niall down and did the same. And it worked I guess, as he became silent.

Zayn was the least nervous amongst us. He's actually pretty good in hiding his emotions. Moreover, he is not involved in this, it's only us four.

After one hour which felt like six hours, Liam's phone ringed and we all startled at the sound.

Liam looked at all of us, individually, as if taking permission from each of us to pick up the phone.

When we all nodded at him, he went on and picked up the phone and pit it on speaker.

"H-hello!"

"Hello, Liam! We have made a decision. Can you put the phone on speaker?"

"It's on speaker, already" Niall said getting up from my lap.

"Oh hello, Niall! Okay!" They took a deep breath. "So we have decided that we will not make any decisions. Your new manager Harvey, and his assistant Johnny will take decisions on behalf of us and that will be the last word. They have handled many bands before so they'll know what is best for the band and you all. They are coming to yours in a minute, so have a discussion with them. Bye"

He hung up.

"This can't be good" Zayn spoke out breaking the tension in the room.

Niall looked at me with his tear filled eyes and it looked like he's gonna cry.

Shit! Why can't everybody just accepts the way we are. If they are our true fans they'll just care about our happiness, they wouldn't care what's our sexuality.

Our doorbell ringed and Louis went on to open the door. As expected, two men in their fiftees, one I recognised as Johnny and the other must be Harvey entered.

They straight away sat on the couch, pushing Zayn off, before even greeting us. And to be honest, we are not interested in greetings too.

Zayn looked at them, disapprovingly, and sat beside us.

"So, we have come to the conclusion that we can't let these relationships going because-"

"Our fans will not accept it and it will let to decrease in sales and blah blah, yeah we know that. Just jump straight to the point. What do you want us to do?" Louis snapped.

"Break up" Harvey said and my heart broke into million pieces. Never ever I'm gonna break up with Niall, no fucking way.

"Never in a million years they're gonna break up" Zayn growled.

"Listen, Zack" Johnny said pointing to Zayn "You're not involved here so don't speak until you're told to"

Zayn rolled his eyes and uttered a 'whatever'.

"And you all" Johnny again spoke pointing to us "Better accept this or we have a plan B"

"We're not going to break up under any circumstances" Liam muttered angrily.

"Ok, that calls for Plan B" Harvey smirked at Johnny "Open the laptop"

Johnny took out his Dell laptop from the office bag and searched something on it.

"So, you all people will be not living here anymore, we'll be shifting you to a hotel"

That's the first bomb dropped.

We all freezed, while Niall clutching me. I pulled him closer to me.

This can't be good.

"Liam and Niall, you will be sharing a room, Louis and Zayn, another room and Harry you'll stay in a room alone"

What! Did he just separate us? That means I can't live with Nialler anymore.

I could feel my shirt getting wet with Niall's tears.

I looked at others and they had the same expression as me.

"Forget meeting, you're not gonna talk to your boyfriends. The hotel is under CCTV surveillance, so we'll always keep an eye on you all. Don't dare to act smart because we have everything under our control. If you are spotted talking to your respective boyfriends at any time, one of you will be forced to leave the band"

"W-what?" Louis croaked out "You can't do this, we have five year contract"

I've never seen Louis so vulnerable ever in my life.

"Well, I am your manager" Harvey boasted "I can do whatever the hell I want to do, and you can't stop me. And as far as contract is concerned, I'll make sure that it's burnt in ashes."

"And the funniest part about it is that you'll never know who'll be asked to leave the band" Johnny laughed "For example, if we see Louis and Liam kissing and breaking the rules, then we can make Harry leave the band"

Niall pulled me even closer as he heard my name.

"You can't do this" He whimpered, barely audible.

"Okay!" Those two got up from their seats closing the laptop "You guys complete your crying, weeping or whatever this Horan guy is doing, pack your clothes enough for two months and get ready, we are leaving tonight"

I clenched my fists. How can they talk about people's emotions like this? Are they totally heartless?

"Mark will tell you the further details" and with that they left.

Niall run back to his room with me behind his back.

His eyes are swollen and red with all that crying and sobbing. He was so weak and tired at that moment. I knew I had to be strong for him atleast. I can't break. For him.

"Niall" I choked out.

"Harry" He finally spoke, or more like whispered softly "We need to break up"
