Never Is A Promise

Liam, Louis, Zayn, Niall, Harry, the opposite order of the signing. I pushed Aly forward first slipping the phones back in my jacket. Finally it was my turn, and I knew I’d be spending the time explaining why Harry can’t know who I am to Liam and Louis. “Hi Liam” I said rolling to a stop.

“Mickole“ he whispered nodding to me he looked confused and pissed off. “You want to explain this?”

“No but I will because you need a reason to not tell Harry.”

“Good idea” he said glancing at Harry who was faking a smile for Anna. “He’s been a wreck for 6 months because of that letter.”

“Did he tell you that my family moved away from Holmes Chapel in a weekend when him and his family were on vacation” Liam nodded. He waved at Louis who walked over with Aly.

“I really don’t have a good case in you eyes.” Liam shook his head. “I’ll try to explain though. I love him, and I thought I was doing what was best for him. Two years ago I was diagnosed with an extremely malignant case of leukemia that spread to lymphoma as well, I just got out of the hospital earlier today from a 6 month long experimental procedure to try and get my body into remission. Before I went into surgery and I gave Aly the letter to send if I didn’t make it. If I didn’t have the surgery I’d be dead by now. Now I have a 70% chance. But that’s not important. I left Harry, and everyone else because I was afraid they would treat me differently after I got sick. I didn’t want to be the sick girl I wanted to be remembered as the girl I was before I left. Selfish yes, but I couldn’t live knowing their was a chance for Harry to treat me differently. I didn’t want him to have to watch me fight that battle and have it change him, so I broke his heart and mine.”
Liam opened his mouth I held up my hand “let me finish please.” He nodded “I know I broke his heart again with that letter but now he believes I’m dead and he can move on from that. I still love him but he doesn’t need to get hurt again because I survived my surgery. Aly sent the letter when I flat lined during surgery for the third of four times.” I paused looking down “I guess the reason I’m asking you to not tell him is because I don’t want to hurt him again” I said. Aly put a hand on my shoulder.

As Liam and Louis looked at each other, Liam shrugged turning to look at me “As long as he doesn’t find out that works, but you know he probably will and then you’ll have to explain this to him.” I nodded.

“I know but it’s still not fair for me to waltz back in and throw his life into chaos for a third time” They all nodded.

Zayn walked over “I’m stealing Aly for my turn.” he laughed pulling Aly away back to his spot.

“Then I’m taking Micky.” Louis said dropping to his knees to reach my level, as he held out his arm for me to take, I laughed linking my arm through his as I slowly rolled Louis walking on his knees back to his table. “We won’t tell him.”

“Thanks” I said.

“But is there any good black mail you have on him?”

“Tons, but you have to answer a question first.”

Louis nodded “Alright, shoot”

“How did you know that I was Harry’s Mickole, as far as you guys knew I was dead.”

“I looked it up, Liam and I checked all the obituaries, you had none, not funeral mention or anything. I thought it was just a hoax to get to him again now that he’s famous. I didn’t know there was that much more to it, til you told Liam the cancer part. That changed our minds, you actually seem to be looking out for him.”

I nodded “but how did know it was me here?”

He nodded “It was from watching you with him. You knew him too well for someone who’d just met him. You knew how to calm him down and get him to relax. He said you always knew just what to do.” I smiled as Louis thought to himself for a second before looking up at me. “You know all the girls he’s dated since he dated because they reminded him of you in some way.”

“How does Caroline Flack remind him of me?” I asked.

Louis laughed. “Eyes, and the maturity he said you’d always know just how to fix things, you had amazing advice.” I smiled nodding to myself.

“Ok that makes more sense” I said hmm what was a good thing to blackmail Harry with “Oh if he ever becomes impossibly difficult go steal his superman boxers and threaten to cut them up, he’s in love with them, I swear he loves them more than anything else.” I said Louis’ eyes lit up as he smiled “or threaten to catnap Dusty and hold him hostage.” Louis laughed.

“Good to know thanks for the tips. Bring it Styles, I now know your kryptonite, well besides you Mick. You do know you’re who he’s always singing to and for. You’re his inspiration. You should have heard him 6 months ago his voice would crack while singing, he was really broken up over it,”

“Aly said he cried when singing the song Moments a few times, was that me?” I asked. Louis nodded “Well shit. I feel horrible for it, but I don’t want to do that to him again.” Louis nodded again.

“Don’t hurt him, he’s my best friend and flat mate.” I nodded. The talk with Zayn mostly revolved around interests and joking as did my talk with Niall I did tease him a bit about the shine he’d taken to Aly to which he’d blushed.

Finally I was the last girl talking in the rotation the boys had gotten up to get ready for the interview. Taking the written down questions from the other girls.

“Hi MJ,” Harry said as I rolled over pulling his chair out from behind the table to sit in front of me his chair spun around. “So you knew Micky” I nodded.

“Volleyball, we both set for the team.” I said being careful to not give anything away.
He smiled “What was the medical stuff she moved to London for?” he asked “Aly wouldn’t tell me, she said it was personal.”

I raised an eyebrow at him “Then why are you prying? If Mick had wanted you to know she would have told you Harry. But from what she told me she did only what she thought was best.”

“She left me though, I love her still, I know I’m not supposed to love someone who has hurt me so much but she was mine first love, first, everything really.” He whispered.

“I’m sorry Harry, it was her decision” I said rubbing his back. “She had her reasons.” He nodded.

“I know, I think the worst part is that she didn’t trust me or love me enough to tell me.” He said.

“She was scared, Harry.” I said “That’s all I’m telling you and I just hope it’s enough of a reason for you.”

“Its not but I’ll have to just live with it” he said. “So Niall and I we’re talking and we think that we should take you and Aly for coffee sometime.” He said smiling.

“Ok” I said shocked, was Harry asking me out again?

“Awesome so tomorrow 3pm we’ll come pick you two up from Aly’s” he said. The final bell dinged “Thank you MJ,” he said kissing my cheek.

“Alright so we are going to take a single question from each person so when you have your question written hand it to Paul and we’ll answer it!” Liam said as the boy piled back onto the riser in the front of the room.

Aly and I moved to the back of the room lounging with Dani and El as we played on the boy’s phones. “Aly MJ what’s your numbers” El asked pulling out her phone, we should hang out sometime! I gave her mine, “Do you have a Twitter?”

I nodded smiling “Yeah @M_Jac31” I told her my new account.

“Oh cool you’re going into Communications and business with a minor in music and dance starting next year at the University of London?” I nodded to Dani.

“We are going into the same thing but my minor is music and theater” Aly said.

“Yeah! I’m now following you!” Eleanor exclaimed before stopping her mouth dropping “Woah, what was that question?” Eleanor asked turning our attention back to the boys her eyes wide

“Did she just ask him about Mickole?”

“Sorry, can you repeat that Paul?” Louis said. All the boys had wide eyes. Harry was tense.

“This one is for Harry. Who is Mickole? Did you love her? What happened between you too? What went wrong? From Anna Batten” Paul repeated. Our eyes shot open.

We all looked at Anna who was sitting smugly in her seat. “That bitch,” I hissed, all the girls looked at me “Anyone with eyes and a heart can see that’s a touchy subject for Harry, and she goes and asks it in an interview!”

Liam looked up at Paul pleading with him to not make Harry answer that one. “Sorry boys your contract in this one says you have to answer all questions.” He said.

Harry looked down closing his eyes, “Mickole was my girlfriend for four years before I joined One Direction. I still love her, she was perfect; we split for personal reasons I’m not going to discuss. I’d like to have some privacy in my life, but nothing was wrong,” the girl opened her mouth “and if the next question out of your mouth is why am I not with her anymore; its because she died 6 months ago. Thank you, and if you’ll excuse me I’m going to go get some fresh air.” His eyes flashed up to our. I grabbed Aly, pulling her across the room to the door following Harry out. As soon as the door shut I had stood up wrapping him in a hug. Louis was right I knew Harry and knew what he needed. I rubbed his back even as my legs began to shake from the standing. He felt it lifting me a little taking most of the weight off my legs. I whispered a thank you to him as Simon Cowell came out.

“Harry?” He asked looking between the two of us. “What’s going on?

“Hi Simon” He said, “I, um, well.”

“You need to have someone monitor the questions the boys are asked in interviews,” I said moving back to my wheel chair “Having unsensored questions will only lead to more press scandals. I just heard a girl ask a completely inappropriate question in there. And the boys were forced to answer due to he contract that their management signed.” I said frankly I was pissed off, “who is the boy’s PR manager?” I asked.

“Whoever they are they should be fired for that little stunt.” Aly said.

Simon’s eyes widened “she’s not here, Harry is what she said true?” Harry glared at Simon.

“Would I have walked out of the interview if it wasn’t?” Harry asked as the door opened the rest of the boys piling out with questions to Harry if he was ok. Eleanor and Dani walking out of the room as well.

I looked at Simon pointedly. He nodded, “Harry, was that mistake excusable?” Harry shook his head as the other boys exploded in anger at the situation.

“Alright alright,” Simon held up his hands, if the boys were all this mad about this, it had to have been bad. “Go get ready I’ll have her replaced by tomorrow.” They nodded walking off together. “Eleanor, Dani.” the girls looked at Simon “Was it as bad as it looks.” They nodded.

“Yes Liam even asked Paul if they could skip the question, but according to Paul the contract said they had to answer every question asked.” Dani answered.

Simon sighed “Well I guess I have a new PR person to find.” He said.

“Make MJ and Aly their PR!” Eleanor said quickly, “They are going into the right major for it next year!” She said “And the boys already get along with them great.” She said motioning to us.
Simon looked over, “I’ll give you to a chance at it, together, only because you seem to know your stuff already.” He said he took our numbers saying he’d be in touch soon with the details of when we started and such.

“El!! “ I yelped “You just landed us a dream job!” I rolled over hugging her.

“You deserve it, you watch out for the boys, you we’re really pissed off at that question, it showed that you’re willing to put the boy’s well-beings before the money, something their old PR person didn’t do.” She said shrugging, “Now lets go to our seats in the front row, you guys are sitting with us between the barrier and the stage.”

The concert was incredible the boy’s were amazing the crowd screamed even louder as tears shone on Harry’s face during Moments. The boys were fun to watch as they went all out on stage dancing around, singing and having a blast they pulled all the people from the Meet N Greet up onstage for What Makes You Beautiful. I spent the song dancing with El, Dani and Aly.
We did video snippits of the concert tweeting them out. Harry even caught me videoing him and came over to show off, not noticing it was his phone. The response was huge with multiple trends going world wide, Eleanor has Louis phone, Dani is on Liam’s twitter, MJ is Double Trouble with Zayn and Harry, Aly Hacked Niall, and Girls hacked 1Ds twitter. We laughed at the end of the show. Tweeting one final message together at the same time ‘This is MJ, @M_Jac31 on Harry twitter, & I’ve been your entertainment for the night. MJ Out. Xx” We each tweeted changing the respective names, before we snuck back stage putting the phones back before the boys noticed they were gone.

We hugged the boys promising to keep in touch, since Simon hadn’t told them we’d be taking over as PR for a week or two for a trial run to make sure having us as PR managers would work.

It had been a good night, lot of fun and seven new friends but now it was time for us to head back so we could get some sleep.
