Harry met Lily and I at the door to the school.
"Katie!" he exclaimed as he lightly hugged me. I know he was trying to be careful, but it still hurt.
"Harry, they hurt Trevor," I said.
"Who hurt Trevor?" Lily asked.
"But I thought you said they wouldn't," Harry said.
"Who hurt Trevor?" Lily asked again.
"I know, I thought that too. But when he tried to save me, they got angry," I said.
"WHO HURT TREVOR?!" Lily yelled.
"She has to know Katie," Harry said. I shook my head no while he shook his head yes.
"Lily...my parents...they uh...I think it'll be easier to show you," I said. I pushed up one of my shirt sleeves to reveal the bruises. Harry and Lily gasped.
"What's going on over here?" I heard Zayn ask. He, Liam, Louis and Niall appeared in front of us. Their gazes went straight to my bruised arm.
"Katie, what happened to you?" Liam asked.
"Her parents happend, that's what," Harry said for me.
"Wait, so you knew what was going on and you didn't do anything?!" Louis asked.
"Katie wouldn't let me." Everybody's eyes were on me.
"What?" I said.
"Why wouldn't you let Harry stop them, Katie?" Niall asked. I pulled the sleeve back in its place.
"I didn't want him to feel sorry for me."
"Feel sorry for you? Katie, I care about you," Harry said.
"You've told me that already, Harry."
"But most of all Katie...I love you."
***************
Weeks had gone by since the "I love you" incident. My bruises were gone and I wasn't living at home anymore and neither were my brothers. The boys insisted that my brothers and I lived with them. Ever since I began living with them, Harry told me that he loved me many times, but I had never said it back. It wasn't that I didn't love him, because I did, I truly did. I was just waiting for the right time for me to say it.
"Earth to Katie," I heard someone say. I was sitting at the kitchen table with my brothers and the boys.
"What?" I asked.
"You haven't touched your dinner at all. Harry made it special just for you," Liam said. I looked down at the plate before me and saw untouched lasagna.
"I guess I'm not hungry," I lied.
"Katie, you've said that almost everyday. You need to eat something," Zayn said.
"If she doesn't want it, I'll have it," Niall said.
