Whatever We Felt

Chapter 11// unexpected confessions

•Katrina

We parked in Luke's driveway. Apparently his family wasn't home and the boys already had settled there.

Luke slid the keys out of the ignition and shoved them in his pocket.

"I'm not ready for this," I whispered.

He unbuckled his seatbelt and stared at me intently.

"Yes you are. The boys are understanding," he gently said.

I shook my head, tears running down my face.

"No Luke I'm scared. Calum just completely left," I stammered.

He grabbed my shaking wrists in his hands and gave a small smile.

"Everything is going to be okay Katrina."

"Are you positive?"

"I promise."

He dried my tears up with his thumb and dried them up with the seam of his shirt.

We stepped out of the car and on to the front porch. Luke intertwined our hands together, gave it a squeeze and kissed the top of my head.

He slid the keys into the front door and swiftly opened it.

"We're here!" Luke shouted.

I started getting nervous. My breath was shaky and the only reason why I didn't run out the door was because of Luke.

They didn't want me here. I scare them. I'm scary. I don't want to be scary.

"Katrina!!" Ashton giggled lifting me up and spinning me in circles.

"Hi ash," I laughed as he set me down.

"Feeling better?"

"Great actually," I awkwardly chuckled.

He pulled me in for one more hug before saying good.

"Boys get down here!" Ashton demanded causing me and Luke to laugh at his motherly attitude.

Michaels face lit up with joy as soon as he stepped in the room.

He sprinted towards me engulfing me in a bear hug.

"I missed you Kat," he mumbled rubbing my back.

"You saw me like 7 hours ago," I laughed.

He laughed as he pulled out of the hug.

"Catwoman yay!" Calum squealed giving me a hug.

I let out a breath of relief. Thank god that wasn't an awkward encounter.

"Cal you're so cute," I laughed pulling out of the hug.

"I need to talk to you privately," he mumbled.

I nodded and he turned to face the three other boys.

"Hey guys I'm gonna steal Katrina for a few minutes," he informed, grabbing my arm and pulling me into the basement.

We took a seat on the couch. What could he possibly have to tell me? If he was going to apologize he didn't have to do it privately.

"Katrina I'd like to apologize for fleeing off like that," he said rubbing his hands on his thighs.

Haha I knew it.

"It's okay Cal! I understand!" I exclaim getting up from the couch.

He grabbed my arm and pulled me back to the couch.

"You don't understand why I did though," Calum muttered.

I readjusted myself waiting for him to explain this whole reasoning or whatever.

"Katrina I-"

"You guys almost done?" Luke asked popping his head into the room.

"I love you catwoman!" Calum blurted.

Well shit.
