"We had been making so many video diaries while in X Factor, and people, fans...they could see the way Louis and I were with each other. But we didn't have a management during that time. No one really cared to hide us or take the attention off of us. So we were much more free in the sense of touching each other, flirting, the whole nine yards. Except kissing, Louis and I agreed that we were leaving the intimate parts private for ourselves.

But then.....after months and leaving in third place. Simon had a plan for us, and after a few weeks we signed with Syco. We started recording our first single, and first album.
We were happy. I had him, he had me. We had the boys. And we had just signed a record deal for five to ten years."

"Yea. And Harry was ecstatic. As was I, seeing him so happy, I was over the moon. We rode that rollercoaster together. Until, things started getting out of hand after the What Makes You Beautiful single and video had come out."

"According to management Louis' and I's relationship needed to be handled because people were looking too much into us. So many conspiracies so to say. But it wasn't even that bad."

"Until they called us into a meeting. Just us two."

*

The room was getting stuffier by the minute. Louis' hand was getting clammy in Harry's hold. Management were sorting papers, their publicist was typing on his phone. Security was at the door

He couldn't breath. He gripped the curly boy's hand even tighter despite the nervous sweat. Then one manager spoke, Richard was his name

"Alright. If you don't already have an idea why you two are here, it is because of this right here." he gestures to our clasped hands and I furrow my brow

"What's the problem with this?"

"Well Harry. Fans are getting too invested in this relationship and we can't have your public image go sideways. People are calling you gay and other things, we lose merchandise, you lose money, and bye bye One Direction. You just started, your fanbase is already so huge. We can not risk this getting out of control before you become bigger than you already are. So, you have to stop this."

*

"Hold on, WHAT?" Harry nodded at the doctor wiping his eyes

"Yea. They straight up told us we had to end things for the bands sake." Niall sighed rubbing his eyes

"Man, I can't relive this."

"Tell me about it." Liam sighed too and turn to look at Louis who was biting his nail crying silently. He closed his eyes when Harry spoke

"And this is where I fucked up."

*

"No. We can't just...but I love him!" Harry the other manager rubbed his forehead looking at me

"We understand how hard this must be for you, but think of your mates. The band. You just started. They'll be crushed if it ends so fast because you two want to be selfish-

"Now hold on just a fucking minute!"

"Wait! Lou, sit down. Calm down please. Just...hear me out. I have a stupid idea, but maybe it can work." Louis looked over at me with sad eyes, and I gulped rethinking this.
