Recommended song: Where do broken hearts go ?

4 months later

"Just read the questions I gave you and everything will be fine" Hanna says

"You could at least tell me who I'm going to interview" I sigh and she rolls her eyes.

"Anyway, thank you so much for replacing me sweetie, it means a lot. Go now or you will be late !" She says and almost pushes me outside of her house.

I only came back to Paris yesterday and she's already sending me to give an interview near the Eiffel Tower.
She didn't even tell me who I'm going to interview.
Thankfully it's not a video or a radio interview, it's for a magazine so I can make mistakes.
The appointment takes place in a big hotel

"Wait here, they'll be here in a few minutes" the guy from the reception says after leading me to a room.

After less than five minutes, a guy enters followed by... Harry, Louis, Liam, Niall and Zayn. No fucking way. He, and the other boys too, since they are in on it too, are the last person on earth I wanted to see.

"Great..." I mutter rolling my eyes

The boys are as caught off guard as I am and immediately look at Harry

"What the hell are you doing here ?" He asks

"Believe me, if I could leave now, and not do this fucking interview, I'd do it right now" I snap

"We need to talk" he says and grabs my arm, leading me outside of the room. I immediately jerk away.

"Since when were you an interviewer ?"

"I'm not, I'm on spring break for a week so I came back to Paris and, as Hanna is very sick, she asked me to replace her for this interview otherwise she'll loose her internship"

"Listen Charlotte, I... Louis and I... We're not dating"

"Oh you broke up ? Well I hope he broke your heart as much as you broke mine" I snap

"I mean, when I told you that I was using you to hide my relationship with Louis, and that I had no feelings for you, I lied." He says biting his bottom lips, which still drives me crazy.

"What ?" I answer shocked

"I knew you wouldn't have been happy with me. You would have been dragged in all the media stuff, the fame, the rumours and the criticisms. You couldn't have handled it. So I had to let you go to let you build the life you deserved and be happy" he says and my heart races. He broke my heart to pieces but even after four months of trying to forget him, he still has an effect on me. But I can't just fall in his arms again.

"Oh because you thought that I would be happier after you broke my heart and told me that I was just a simple and naive fan that you didn't give a fuck ?!" I yell "You also ruined my relationship with the other boys. I got on very well with them and because of your stupid thing, I've never spoken to them again"

"I know I totally messed up and I'm sorry" he apologises

"Why are you telling me this now ? To make me think back to what happened four months ago and remind me how much I suffered ?"

"No, of course not. It's just that... You're still the one that I love." He hesitates biting his lip and I don't say anything

"Sorry guys but we have to do the interview now. We have other appointments after, we can't allow ourselves to be late" one of their managers interrupts

"Sure, no problem. This conversation is useless anyway" I say and and follow the guy inside, without even looking at Harry. I'm being mean but he kinda deserves it.
