we made it || l.s

nineteen - hiatus

'she won.' louis said, putting down the phone. 'who won?' harry asked, sitting up in the bed and stretching his arms. 'my mum. she won the divorce. she's got full custody of all the girls.' the smaller smiled, sighing happily.

the next day, louis' alarm woke the both of them up, remembering he had work, harry called declan to come pick them up, dropping louis off at work, then taking harry home.

~

harry had been on the phone to the boys earlier, and asked them to come round to his house. the boys all got here together early afternoon and gathered in the living room.

'you okay, h?' zayn asked, sitting next to niall on the couch. harry nodded and ran a hand through his curls, leaning back into the couch and taking a deep breath.

'i just- i need to talk to you guys.' harry said with a shaky voice. the three boys perked up and told harry to go ahead.

'i-i can't do this for much longer guys.' he confessed, his eyes immediately pricking with tears. the boys cocked an eyebrow, giving harry and questioning look.

'what do you mean, this? you and louis?' liam asked, in reply, getting a rapid head shake. 'no. no not me and lou. the uh- the band.' he spoke, his hands getting a little sweaty.

'w-what?' niall gasped, almost laughing at the ridiculousness of harrys words.

'you guys can't tell me you don't feel it too.' harry said, raising an eyebrow. 'for gods sake. it's so fucking stressful. it's just album, tour, album, tour, album. i don't think i can do it much longer until i stress myself to death.' harry ranted all at once.

the three boys have him a concerned look and stayed silent. 'don't even lie to me if you say you're still happy working everyday of every month. i've found a way to regain my happiness but- not with work. it's too much.' harry said, shaking his head.

'so- you want us to split up?' niall questioned.

'no! no. just like- a break. we're still a band, but just...' harry said, shrugging his shoulders.

'so like a hiatus.' liam said, raising his eyebrow. harry nodded. 'yeah.'

'why has this come over you all of a sudden?' liam added. 'you've never mentioned a break before.'

'i just think- for so long everything's been so unhealthy. i've tried to keep it in for months but honestly i cant do it anymore. i know we're switching management so that's why i'm suggesting it now. we leave modest, then have a break. then start up with our new one.' harry said, as though it was written in front of him.

'i agree.' zayn said. 'i mean, you guys know about my mental health and stuff. i'm sure you guys aren't in a extremely healthy mindset either.' he said, nodding at harry.

'and i wanna settle down with gi. i'm sure harry wants to settle down with louis and liam with maya. sorry ni.' zayn admitted, giving niall a sympathetic look.

'i wouldn't mind taking it a bit more serious with maya to be honest.' liam shrugged. 'and i've been a little low on energy recently.' he said, niall agreeing.

'i know it doesn't really reflect on this, but you lads don't understand how fucking terrified i am to come out. like i've got louis for support but i'm so scared.' the curly headed boy sighed.

'hey, haz. we understand. this is a huge thing. i really see where you're coming from to be fair with this break thing. how long were you thinking?' liam asked, placing a comforting hand on the curly boys shoulder.

'like- a year?' harry said. all the boys' jaws dropped, their eyes widening and eyebrows scrunching.

'a year?!' niall shouted. 'jesus i thought you meant like a couple of months, haz.' he added, running a hand through his blonde hair.

'we're not gonna magically rekindle and have amazing mental health in a couple of months, ni. besides, maybe we could have a look at solo stuff.' harry said, gaining shouts of profanity from the three boys.

'what the fuck?! so it is like a break up?'

'no! i just think we're not all completely ourselves in our music anymore. we just write about random shit. i want to write about stuff that has happened to me, find our own sounds.' harry began.

'then, in a little while- we will come back together and we will have found our individual sounds that we can then put as one.'

the three boys quieted down, and became silent for a couple of minutes, all thinking about what he had said.

'okay. alright fine, if that's what you want to do. and if it's gonna make you happy, then let's do it. we've finished Made In The A.M, so we can release that, then harry comes out, then we can go on hiatus.' liam said shakily, gaining a confident nod from harry.

'happiness over anything.' niall said simply, walking over to harry and attacking him in a hug. 'love you, man.' he added, as the two other boys joined in on the hug.

'this one is fucking beautiful.' harry whispered as the two boys walked around an apartment they were viewing.

'yeah, it is. it's too pricey though, haz.' louis said, as they entered the kitchen. harry laughed and swung their hands slightly between them.

'money's not really a problem.' he said, looking out of the window. 'it is for me, not everyones a multi-millionaire.' louis teased, making harry feel a little bad.

'do you like this one? we can't move in till after i come out anyways. so it's not a final choice.' harry asked.

'sorry to interrupt. but if money is a problem, we have some other apartments for a little lower price, but still beautiful. i have some pictures with me.' the landlord said, as she followed them around.

harry gave louis a might aswell look before they walked over to the woman as she pulled up a couple of pictures on her ipad.

the apartment complex name read,

Princess Park Complex.

the apartment complex was beautiful to say the least. it looked a lot more cozy and homey than the apartment they were currently viewing. it had high ceilings, although a warm feel towards it.

it looked like a palace from the outside, which probably corresponded to the name. the living room contained white couches, which were surrounded by large, semi-circle type windows with sheer curtains draped among them.

a staircase with a glass banister lead upstairs to the main bedroom, but if louis and harry were to move into Princess Park, they would probably refurnish it, although they did quite like the design of it so far.

the bedroom had a brick wall designs along the walls, creating a retro effect. there was a large bed placed in the middle with a cushioned, cream colored headboard and beautiful lights.

'opinions?' the woman asked as she came to a close on the pictures. louis and harry looked at eachother, wide eyed. 'are pets allowed?' louis asked, feeling harry slither his arms around his waist.
