7. we can only hope

Harry's POV
I knew exactly what she wanted to talk about. That kiss earlier. I didn't mean to it just got the best of me, shes just so perfect in every way. I sat down on the sofa, next to Katie.
"What's up?" I asked.
"it's just about earlier, I'm just-" I cut her off.
"I know, i'm sorry I know I shouldn't of done it," I admitted to her.
"no, I'm not mad about it!" She exclaimed. I let out a sigh of relief.
"Thank god," I breathed out.
"I'm just confused as to why?" She questioned me.
"Well, I was going to come tickle you but when you turned around you just looked so pretty," I explained myself. She smiled at me "I just couldn't help it, my heart took over" I said.
"you're such a sweetheart," She said to me, smiling still. "Couldn't get another one could I?" She laughed.
"If you're offering?" I joked back.

We both then decided to watch some more Walking Dead, ignoring the fact my phone was going mental with notifications.

*6pm*
"I best get home," Katie said to me.
"Yeah come on, i'll drive you back," I smiled and put my shoes on and grabbed my keys. Katie put her shoes on and we headed to my car.
I drove Katie back to her house and as we pulled up she looked at me and placed her hand on my thigh.
"Thankyou for letting me stay, I've had fun!" She said.
"It was my pleasure," I smiled at her. She leant in and kissed me, properly this time not like earlier. I moved my hand off the steering wheel and placed it on the side of her face, our lips moving softly together. She pulled back and then planted a delicate kiss on my cheek.
"I'll see you tomorrow," Katie said as she opened the car door.
"I'll text you the address," I said and she shut the door, heading into her house. She waved at me as I drove away. I definitely liked this girl.

Once I arrived back home I grew the balls to look at my twitter. So many notifications.
Obviously, you could see screenshots, videos of Katie in my stream. For only a split second but everyone knew who it was. Katie was getting tagged in things, I was getting tagged in things. People were being nice about Katie, others weren't. I just chose to ignore it. There wasn't much I could do. I text Katie anyway.
Me- Hi, the address tmr is *address* xx
Katie- Thankyou, what time?xx
Me- I'll come get you, be ready for 10:30am xx
Katie- Okay, see you then!xx
Me- Cant wait to see you xx
Katie- Me too xx
I went for a shower, and went to get into bed. I was super tired. I sat down on the edge of my bed, and noticed something shimmering on my dresser. I looked closer to find a necklace, that wasn't mine so it was clearly Katie's. I picked my phone up and text her.
Me- Did you leave your necklace at mine?xx
Katie- Oh my god, thank god i haven't lost it! I was panicking xx
Me- I'll give you it tomorrow babe xx
Katie- thankyou lovely, sleep well xx
Me- You too xx
Me- Also what clothes size are you?xx
Shes gonna think 'why on earth is he asking me that?'
Katie- a 6 or 8 xx
Me- Thanks! xx
I placed the necklace on my bedside table, making sure the chain wasn't tangled. I then headed onto asos, buying Katie a pair of black joggers and a pair of white joggers, two cropped black t-shirt's and a hoodie, along with some nice underwear, a pack of three, I liked. Just to keep at mine, incase of emergency. I paid for it and added super fast, next day delivery. I then put my phone down and soon drifted off to sleep.

Katie's POV
I was still up, at 3am, crying over comments being made about me. There was a screenshot and videos of me circulating around Harry's fans.
she's not even that pretty
his ex was nicer
she looks grim
Meanwhile, people were also being nice.
She's so pretty!!
I'd die to be her
Please shes absolutely gorgeous
I guess, focus on the positive things Katie. It was just so heartbreaking to see people say that, about me. Yes I chose not to comment or say anything about it as Harry hadn't either. I didn't think I had done anything wrong. I can only hope they accept me if me and Harry go places.
Still upset, I put my phone down and tried to get some sleep, it took ages before I fell asleep.

8am I was back awake, so so tired from the late night. I got out of bed and dragged myself off for a shower, then blow drying and curling my hair, doing my makeup, natural this time, and heading to get some clothes to wear. It was 10am and I was stood in my underwear in the middle of my room looking at my wardrobe. I DONT KNOW WHAT TO WEAR! I flopped onto my bed, annoyed that I didn't have anything to wear, even though I did, just didn't like any of it. My phone chimed out and I picked it up.
Harry- Hey, you don't want anything from costa do you? Just at the one near yours now xx
How adorable is this boy?!
Me- awh please could i have an iced latte please? xx
Harry- of course, see u in 20 ish minutes xx
I jumped up and dug something out to wear. I settled on some black flare trousers, a cream crop top and I grabbed my black oversized leather jacket as I headed downstairs. I put on my black Doc Martens and stood in the kitchen waiting for Harry. I posted a quick 'OOTD' on my story just before Harry turned up. He beeped his horn and I headed straight out to his car.

Harry's POV
Katie emerged from her house, she looked amazing. She got in my car.
"Hey!" I smiled.
"Hi!" Katie replied and kissed my cheek.
"this yours?" I said as I handed Katie her necklace. I had drove all the way there with her necklace tight in my hand, scared to loose it.
"Thankyou!" She smiled and put the necklace on. I started driving.
"Your drink is just in the cup holder," I told Katie and she went to grab it. She took a sip.
"that is lovely!" She exclaimed, smiling.
"You excited for today?" I asked. Her face dropped.
"mhm," She responded. Something was off, probably the shit that's being said online.
"What's up?" I asked her.
"It's just that stuff being said online, they're just gonna know it's me again in the videos and just start saying shit about me," She explained her worries to me.
"I've seen what they've been saying, i've told all the boys and we're going to stream or something later and say something about it. It isn't nice, I know," I replied to her and placed my hand on her thigh, giving it a little squeeze. She placed her hand on mine and I drove us to the filming location. All I can do is hope fans will accept her.
