Chapter 25

i want to apologise for leaving you on a cliffhanger lol i hope this was worth the wait! thanks for bearing with me

"Sophie, we need to talk right now," Kyle said, the moment we touched ground in Birmingham.

I had only woken up five minutes previous, and I wasn't entirely sure what was going on. I stretched my arms, slowly rising and following him over to a more secluded part of the plane.

"What's happened?" I asked, covering my mouth and suppressing a yawn.

"I don't want you to panic, alright?" He told me, although his words did the exact opposite. Something was really wrong.

"What happened?" I asked, trying to stay composed.

"Someone's talked to the press. I'm not sure how much they know, all I know is I have to do some serious damage control."

"Hold on, I thought you said you had this all under wraps? What happened to that?" I asked, looking around at everyone I would've trusted with my life, wondering who the hell had leaked everything.

"We did - at least we thought we did, I had no idea, I've just had a very angry voicemail from my boss, I promise I'm going to find out who did this," he told me, and he looked genuinely stressed. I felt bad for snapping, it wasn't his fault, I shouldn't be blaming him for anything.

"Just...let me know if you find anything? Do you think it would be possible to cancel the interviews for the next few shows?" I asked, trying to forward plan everything.

"I think that's a wise idea," he agreed, nodding his head. "And for now, please try and avoid social media. We both know how nasty it can be, even with something as serious as this. Security will take you to the hotel, and the people you're with. Do not discuss this with anyone. We don't know who it is yet, and we don't want anything else said."

"Can I at least tell Harry? Simon, Talia? They wouldn't have done it. I know they wouldn't have."

"If you're sure you can completely trust them. I hope for everyone's sake it wasn't one of them. I'll give you a call tonight to check up on you, alright? Remember you have a show tomorrow evening, but until hair and makeup at four, you have the day free. Get some rest, relax. And minimise going out in public if you can, at least until some damage control has been done," he advised me, and I agreed with him.

I said goodbye, everyone else on the plane starting to get up, ready to get off the plane. Harry was on his phone, and Talia looked like she was just waking up, her and Simon whispering about something or other.

How the hell had this gotten leaked? More importantly, who had leaked it? I trusted everyone I worked with, or at least I thought I did.

"You alright?" Harry asked, stretching his arms out. The two of us had both slept on the plane, now we were finally well rested.

"Someone told the press everything," I whisper, using my good arm to reach down for my belongings.

He stared at me, his mouth wide open. "You're kidding, right?"

I shook my head. "Kyle just told me. I'm so - angry? Disappointed? I haven't even processed it yet, we just have to get back to the hotel, I'll tell you more then, I promise. But we've got to go now, security are waiting for us outside," I rush, not wanting to waste any time to dwell on it before we reach the hotel.

"Yeah, alright. Let's go. I'll tell Simon and Talia, you go on ahead, okay?" He says, pressing a small kiss on my cheek before letting me go.

I leave the plane, as soon as I walk out onto the steps there is a huge team of security waiting for me. Kyle had not been lying. I could sense the severity of the situation from here.
