Unbroken- One Direction

Chapter 14- Finally having a home

Chapter 14

*Kat’s POV*

Louis was staring at me after the song ended. I smiled to myself, recalling at how great the past two weeks had been. I thought back to our first date when we started making out in his car. 

It was really great. I thought that, it would be all awkward after, but Louis made it great. Cracking jokes and making me laugh. I loved it. I loved him. He was everything. 

I remembered when we were about to walk in the kitchen, but Louis stopped me at the door so he could kiss me again. 

I remembered when he took me to see the movie. Let’s just say I don’t know which movie that was. Louis and I spent the whole time talking, kissing, laughing, and throwing candy at each other. 

I remembered when we attempted to make waffles for the house. We both ended up with flour everywhere. Liam was NOT happy with us, but I didn’t care. More memories with Louis. He gave me a reason to live, and I actually felt truly and completely happy for the first time in my life.

“Boys? You’re kinda staring…” I said, while taking Louis’ hand.

Liam was the first to respond to my comment.

“You two are some of the best singers I have ever heard. Do you two sing together often?” 

Drue looked at me. “If you count blaring songs in my bedroom singing together- then yes. Katty and I love singing. We just keep it to the bedroom.”

“That’s what she said.” Harry mumbled. “What? I think those things- I’m not ashamed!” 

I started laughing, as did everyone else in the car. I buried my face in Louis’ chest because I was laughing so hard, and Louis’s hand slid up my back.

“But seriously girls, where did you learn to sing like that?” Zayn asked. 

I looked over at Zayn, “We never learned. We just did. But thanks you guys for liking us so much. We never really thought we were good.”

“Well you are.” Louis said. Then he brought his mouth close to my ear. “It was bloody brilliant. You should sing for me more often.” 

I smiled at his comment and snuggled in his chest. Was I really so good? It made me feel so nice that Louis would complement me so much. 

Drue suddenly spoke up, “I’m tired from that plane ride. Who wants to be my pillow?” 

She didn’t even finish the sentence by the time Harry’s hand shot in the air.

They were too cute. They both started blushing as Louis told the whole car that Haz had a crush on Drue. And Drue liked him. It was too perfect. Drue lay down on Harry’s lap while I snuggled into Louis’ chest. We still had about an hour til we got back home.

Home. 

I have never had a home. I have always had a house, but never a home, never a place where I felt safe and warm, never a place where I felt loved. Until those crazy boys almost broke my ankle. I was honestly glad they did. They were all so important to me. 

I looked over to see Harry playing with Drue’s hair. Louis was rubbing my back in small circles, making me glance up at him and smile. Drue was asleep on Harry’s lap, and Zayn and Niall had cuddled up against Liam, who was taping away on his phone. Probably twitter. 

I felt myself slowly drift to sleep.

My mistake. Because of my past, I have night terrors. They usually consist of my dad, or the girls at school who used to bully me. These past two weeks, I have only had a couple attacks, and they were small, not waking Louis up.

Maybe it was because I was in a car, maybe because my dad was on my mind, I don’t really know. But this terror, had to be the worst.

I heard the screaming, but it wasn’t my own. Then whose was it? Dad always went after me when he was mad. I may have hated what he did to me, but no one else deserved what I went through. 

I ran down the hall. I kicked open his locked door.

Louis. Tied up to a chair, bleeding at the head, struggling to get out.

‘No. Not Louis. Please don’t hurt him.’ I tried to scream. But my voice wasn’t working. I couldn’t do anything. My body was frozen.

Then out came Drue. She had blood everywhere. She was standing over something.

“YOU! YOU DID THIS!” She pointed at me angrily.

‘No. No Drue! It was my dad! Please believe me!’ I tried to scream. It didn’t work.

“How could you Princess?” Liam said. He was tied to a chair next to Louis. Why hadn’t I seen him before? 

“Harry is gone. Niall is gone. Who’s next?” Zayn said.

Gone? What do they mean gone? 

The something Drue was standing over. It was Harry.

‘No. I didn’t. I could NEVER.’ I tried to say.

Then I heard my father’s voice behind me. “Trina. Stop cutting me please.” 

Suddenly it all made sense. I did this.

I woke up screaming and crying. I was in the bed that Louis and I shared. We must have gotten back home and someone must have brought me up. 

I heard the door fly open and saw the boys and Drue standing in my doorway. They all looked scared. 

I sent a glance to Drue hoping she would understand what had happened. She did.

She quickly turned around to face the door. “Boys. Out. Now.” She said simply. 

“It’s our house.” Niall said defensively. I really did appreciate that they wanted to help, but I didn’t want them knowing.

“And my girlfriend.” Louis said, completing Niall’s thought.

He sent me a pained glance. I wanted to tell him too. But what would he think of me?

“Please Lou. I just need to talk to Drue.” I whispered avoiding his glance. 

He looked hurt as Drue pushed them out the door and locked it, locking us in the room. 

“What happened? Was it your dad? Even if it was a dream I’ll kill him.” Drue said as she wrapped her arms around my shoulders.

“It was me. I was the one who was hurting people. I hurt Louis, Liam, Zayn. Harry and Niall were gone. And you, Drue I had hurt you. And hurt my dad. My dad whispered for me to stop, like I would do to him when he would cut. Drue, I am such a bad person.” I started sobbing, expecting Drue to throw me off the bed, telling me that I was horrible for even dreaming such a thing.

“He has done so much to you. And you stayed strong Katty. This dream shows that you fought and won. You beat him, he was begging you for mercy. Hell. What happened to me and the boys was probably your old self being scared. You could never do that. I know you, you wouldn’t. I love you Katty.” She hugged me even tighter than possible, and changed the subject.

“What should I do about Harry?” She said. I was glad she changed the subject though, I wanted that dream as far outta my head as possible. 

“He hasn’t asked you out yet?” I said with a wink. We went on talking just like old times.

I was glad to have her back.
