Episode 3.3

Everyday life had them back faster than they wanted to. After they left London and flew back to the USA, a lot of work was waiting for them, which had been left behind during the week. It felt as if they had taken a break for months and not just a week. Besides the concerts, they not only had to finish their album, they also had to promote it and were guests on countless talk shows. On top of that came the video shoot for their first single (Harry had won the bet and got concert tickets for one of his favourite bands) and even more appointments with journalists and radio presenters. They were actually permanently on the road. But unlike the weeks before, it was okay now. The time at home had done them all good and gave them strength, so it was okay if they were only on their feet for a day and didn't have a free minute.

What wasn't okay, however, was an article that Harry stumbled over when he wanted to check his mobile phone for new mails. They were just on their way to Las Vegas and were sitting together on the bus, Liam and Zayn had retreated a bit and were engrossed in a conversation and Niall was on the phone with Julienne.

Louis was just sitting around waiting for Harry to come to him. But his eyes were just too focused on his phone. He couldn't believe what he was seeing and reading!

Briana Jungwirth is expecting baby from boy snookums Louis Tomlinson!

Underneath there is a picture of this Briana with baby's tummy and right next to it one of her and Louis, taken in a club. Louis' hand was on her bottom, her eyes all glassy. He was completely drunk and the girl didn't look very sober either. However, the two photos were clearly of the same person.

Harry's eyes flitted over the few lines that had been written to the pictures and he almost exploded. It all had to be a bad joke. Louis couldn't have seriously gotten someone pregnant. Surely he still had that much sense! He remembered the condom wrapper he'd found on Louis' sofa, looked at the girl again. She didn't really seem like someone Louis' mother would have wanted near him, Harry was sure of that.

"Hazzaaa," Louis's voice then took him out of his thoughts. "How much longer do I have to sit here alone? Come on."

Harry looked up from his cell phone and gave Louis a very angry look, which sent the frightened look off. "What's wrong with you?" he asked and Harry held the phone out to him. "That's what's the matter!" Louis took it from him, and by the time the headline hit the front page, he was almost out of the clouds. His face changed from healthy to chalky white in a matter of seconds. "What?" he murmured, reading the article. His mouth opened a little wider with every line. "It can't be. Who wrote this bullshit. That's not true," he roared and looked at Harry as if he wanted to get into a fight with him over this bullshit. Harry just wasn't interested in it at all. "Haz, you don't believe this."

"She looks pretty pregnant to me," Harry dryly said, thus securing the attention of the other three. "Who's pregnant?" Zayn asked, still half a mocking smile on his lips, but frozen by Harry's bitter expression.

All three exchanged glances and wondered if this was now a joke of Harry and Louis. But it was not. Niall even finished his conversation with Julienne.

"It doesn't have to be from me," Louis justified himself obstinately and put the phone down.

"What if it is?

"Harry...

"There are a thousand different pages that report about it! HOW CAN ONLY YOU BE SO UN RESPONSIBLE?!" he shouted at Louis, which made Liam wince. He was sitting closest to Harry and got the volume of Harry's voice down. "What on earth has happened?" Zayn asked, but he did not get an answer. So he started looking on the Internet himself, with Liam and Niall at his side, looking over his shoulders.
