The press conference

Chapter 15: I'm selfish I know

"It's been one interview, ONE", shouted a very angry looking Simon Cowell directly into Louis' and Harry's face, "are you even aware of the damage that you've already caused, I could just punch you in the face right now."

"Come on, do it then, would fucking finally give us a reason to ditch that shithole of a management", sassed Louis right back at him.

"I'm sorry but what is even happening, I don't see a problem, the interview went by smoothly, didn't it?", asked a really confused looking Niall.

"Have you not checked Twitter kid, has any of you?"

Niall shook his head and Liam, Zayn and Louis alongside with him, great only Harry had seen the Larry damage on Twitter then.

"Twitter is full of that Larry bullshit, can you two not keep it in your pants for an hour, it's disgusting", shouted Simon and Harry could feel some drops of his spit on his face, yikes.

"What?", laughed Niall, obviously oblivious, "they're not together anymore, haven't been for 5 years, you must be seeing ghosts."

"Right", said Harry and could basically feel the heat creeping up his cheeks, he had always been an horrible actor. He looked to his far right and saw that Louis looked equally as uncomfortable as him but at least he didn't blush.

"Yeah, stop with the bullshit, you can't still be giving them a hard time for being together when they're not even together anymore", sighed a pissed off Zayn. Harry knew that the topic hit close to home for him since he and Liam got the same restrictions in the past and now, only that they had always been way better at hiding their relationship than Louis and him.

"I don't believe any of your bullshit, just know that I have my eyes on you and if I see anything like that again there will be drastic consequences, understand me?", said Simon with a dangerously low voice and Harry instantly got the shivers. He hated how he still responded to Simon's threats like a little schoolboy.

They all nodded with their heads down, feeling defeated once again.

"Fine, your album is coming out tomorrow night at midnight, I expect you to do some promo on Twitter and Instagram or so help me god I will take over you accounts once again," threatened Simon and with that he was out of the door.

"Fucking hell", muttered Louis with a defeated look on his face.

"Agreed", said Liam and patted Louis' head, knowing that the boy was fighting back tears. Louis had always taken it worst when Simon had one of his outbursts, he looked up to him after all. Harry wished that he could finally open his eyes, showing him that Simon was a mean bastard who didn't deserve Louis' admiration.

"You are just friends though, right?", asked Niall, eying them suspiciously.

"Obviously", said Louis while nervously looking around the room, gosh he was horrible at this.

Harry had just left Syco and was on his way to his car when he once again heard tiny footsteps approaching.

"Are you alright, Haz?", asked a slightly panting Louis.

"I would be much better if you wouldn't suck my dick one day and then pretend like nothing happened the other day Louis", said Harry angrily, because he had had enough. At first, he thought that the secrecy was exciting, and he knew that he wasn't ready to face all the problems they would most definitely have to face once they decided to tell people, but now he was just pissed.

"I'm so sorry Haz, I promise I don't wanna mess with you or anyone else for that matter, I tried to stay away from you and all but for fucks sake, do you know how hard it is to see you every day? I miss you, not just like you know having sex and stuff, even though I reaaally miss that but just you, you're wonderful, always have been and you make me feel so alive when I'm with you", confessed Louis and stared at the ground, hands fidgeting.
