Reagan paced. She paced around her room because her body felt restless, and her heart was racing, and dear god why did the boys have to do this to her now? Why did everything have to collide this way? She watched her clock upon her dresser slowly change numbers and knew that in a mere few minutes Louis was going to drop that single. The single she hadn't even heard yet.

To top it all off, she hadn't even gotten a chance to talk to Harry after, well, after what had happened between them. She knew that everything was fine and that hey, maybe now they were going to be okay, but she was Reagan and Reagan was a worrier so she worried about everything that was obviously out of her hands.

"OH MY GOD!?"

Reagan jumped out of her seat upon hearing her little sister scream down the hall, making her run to Kennedy's room to check on her, "What's wrong!?"

Kennedy looked at her angrily, "First you don't tell me that Zayn signed with another label to go solo, and now you don't tell me the boys were going to drop a single today!?"

Reagan shrugged, "You know I can't talk about work."

"But I'm trustworthy now, aren't I? I thought we were past the whole Taylor Swift thing."

Reagan simply raised an eyebrow.

"Look, whatever." Kennedy puffed, "Just tell me what this means." She said, twirling her laptop around so that the bright screen was facing Reagan.

"What?" She asked.

"The name of the song? The lyrics? Are they talking about Zayn? Do they like...totally hate him?"

"You know they're not friendly." Reagan said, squinting at the screen. She grimaced at the title Drag Me Down knowing that the press was going to eat that up.

"Obviously I know nothing." Kennedy mumbled.

"Kennedy." Reagan warned.

"I mean, how did this song even get approved to be a single? Wouldn't they want to pretend he left on good terms? You listened to the lyrics didn't you?"

Reagan shrugged again and Kennedy's eyes widened, "You didn't know, did you!?"

"I knew..."

"Knew what?"

"Kenz, seriously, just drop it."

"Okay, I'll drop it." Kennedy smirked, "But..."

"But?"

"You have to spill about what happened last night."

Reagan blushed, "What do you mean?"

"Rae, you didn't come home until like...what...four hours ago?"

"I don't know what you're talking about."

"Don't play stupid, I know you didn't sleep here. You think you can sneak back in and change your clothes without me noticing?"

Reagan sighed, "I have work to do."

"That can wait."

Reagan pointed to Kennedy' computer screen, "It obviously can't."

"It's out of your hands anyway, God. Just tell me what happened!"

"Nothing-"

"Don't say nothing happened! You ran out of this house. You got into your car and drove to his house. He opened his door, saw you standing there, and took you into his arms-"

"No!"

"Then what!? Tell me!"

"I can't do this."
