One Week Later

Austin's POV. 

Dad's management was still after him to sign the contract but dad wasnt having any of it. One these day I swear to god dad will blow up he is like a ticking time bomb just waiting. 

Right now Dad was at some usual interview or something while I was attempting at doing some home work but every time my phone dinged giving me notification I end up wasting half an hour just looking at the notification and scrolling through something or the other.

I finally got around to sitting and actually reading my book when the door bell rang. I groan out. I am just going to give up. Today doesn't seem to be like a day to study anyways. 

I walk over to the main door thinking that there was a 90% chance that it was Niall on the other end of the door and he came here just because he was bored. Trust that has happened before. The remaining 10% chance it some crew member there to say that dad would be back late and that I have to go with them to the venue. 

I open the door to see a man Dark Brown Hair, blue eyes, clean shaved face. He was smiling showing his pearly white teeth and dimples. He was wearing a sky blue button down with a grey pant and brown coat and a file in his hand. 

I knew who it was.... Aldrin.

"Hey kid how you doing?" He asks me and walks into the room inviting himself inside. 

"Dad isnt  here" I tell him getting straight to the point. 

"Oh I know" He tell me laughing I couldn't help but roll my eyes. He is here 2 minutes and I am already sick of him.

"I came to talk you Austin" He tells me.

"Well I am going to be brutally honest and tell you I dont really want to talk. So know that you know that can you please leave I have things to do" I tell.

Aldrin only shakes his head and lets out a chuckle. 

"You have a goon sense of humor Austin" He tells me.

"Yeah yeah what else is new. Now can we go back to the part where you were leaving?" I ask him. 

He completely ignored what I said and started to say what he wanted to say "I am sure your father told you of offer?" 

"Yes and I am sure my father told you that I wasn't exactly interested" I reply. "

"Yes well I wanted to talk to you. You know since this doesnt really have anything to do with him" 

I scoff "He is my dad I think there is reason for him to get involved"

"Okay okay no need to bring up the attitude" He tells me. 

"So I was wondering why do you not want to sign?"

"I just dont want to okay?" I snap back at him. 

"Well that is a shame... I would have hate to loose both the Tomlinsons" He says. 

At first I thought he meant me but then it hit me he said both...

"What do you mean both?" I ask him already thinking something very horrible 

"Oh you know how the deal is you dont sign Louis looses his contract with us" He tells me casually. 

My stomach drops at that. They will drop dad's contract? But that cant actually happen can it?

"You cant do that" I tell him trying hard not to show the increasing panic inside of me. 

"Well you see I am his manager and his contract ends in 8 months so it needs to be renewed but one word from me can get him to loose it..." He tells me.

A sick feeling comes over me. This was a sick joke. They cannot do this.

"Well Austin this here is the contract" He tells me holding up the file he brought with him. "You have week to decide. I do hope the response would be positive. I would hate to loose your father from our record label"  He tells me and places the file on the table. He then walks out. Leaving feeling absolutely sick. 

I stare at the file in front of me. If I dont sign it it will break dad. I know it will but ... 

I heard talking from the other side of the door. I knew it was dad. I grabbed the file from the table and hide it behind me just in time as the door opened revealing dad talking on face time to Liam. 

"Look he is right here!" Dad says not pointing the phone towards me. My heart was racing it was like the file was burning my hands.

"Oh hey Liam" I say trying to keep my voice from going all high. It happens whenever I am nervous or just anxious.

"Hey Austin. Someone has been asking me when you will get back to London" He tells me gesturing to his son Bear. Bear starts to get all shy and he bolts. I try and laugh as normal as possible but my mind was no where near what was happening in front of me. 

"Well I wish I could stay longer but I have to get back to some homework bye!" I tell them and power walk back to my room. 

Seriously Austin? Homework? Even you wouldn't buy that lie!  My brain yells at me.

I pull the file from behind me and stare at it. I know I should tell dad about this. But all he is going to do is flip out and do something without actually thinking about it. Maybe I dont have to tell him about it right now I have a week to think about it right? Maybe I will keep this with me for a few days and think about it on my own without dad saying something. 

I hear dad call out to me "Austin come on! We need to leave for the venue!"

I stuff the file in my suit case under a bunch of clothes so that no one will accidently find it. I grabbed my camera case and bag. I always take my camera cause dad's photographer Aaven always lets me help her with the photos of the show. 

"Coming" I call out. I look back at my suit case I had a lot of thinking to do when I get back.
