The Way Things Change

Chapter 76

Just like predicted, I didn't wake till 2pm. And straight away I needed to go work out. There were still too many thoughts. I hadn't slept in Harry's bed, I had made up some pathetic excuse, but he was too tired to argue with me. So now I could get out of the house unnoticed. Just for a quick run. Which turned into a long sprint. There was just too much anger.

But it wasn't enough. I needed to physically exhaust myself to calm down a bit. So I stared lifting, boxing, anything. Liam, Louis and Zayn joined me in the gym at some point, but I didn't pay any attention to them. I was in my own world, getting every frustration out. I kept going, kept pushing myself, switching between cardio and strength. Boxing away. At half past 6 Louis stopped me, pulling me out of the zone.

"Kate, you need to stop now!" He said sternly. "You've been busy for at least 3 hours, you need to eat."

He was right. I hadn't noticed when I was busy, but now, I could barely keep standing. My stomach was screaming for food. And I seriously needed a shower. But my mind was still clouded. It seemed I only got more questions.

When showered, I made my way to the kitchen. I wanted Harry to start explain, but when I went in for my third portion, yes I was that hungry, he still hadn't said anything. Or any of the others for that matter. They could say something as well. But none did.

"Let's go watch a movie!" Liam suggested. We all agreed to that and after fighting for a while, it was decided that we should see 'Moulin Rouge'. It was a classic, one I hadn't seen and the same for Zayn apparently. I was moody. I still didn't know what to think. And everybody was avoiding the topic of the award show.

I sat down on the floor, Harry taking the seat next to me, putting his arm around me. I felt torn. I wanted him to hold me, cuddle me. But I couldn't get the picture of him and Kendall out of my head. The movie was quite good, but I couldn't completely focus. And I got more frustrated when Harry kept teasing me in all sorts of ways. At the end of the movie during the song 'Come what may' Harry leaned in and whispered "This is our song, babe." And then he sang along.

It was too much. He was clearly keeping this from me. He was never going to say anything about it. He was lying to me. I jumped out, leaving the room. All five of them stunned of my sudden exit. I needed to scream out my frustration. I wouldn't be able to disappear in my workout again today. But before I reached my room, Harry had caught up to me, dragging me to his room instead.

"What is up with you today?" He questioned after closing the door behind him. I huffed, feeling feisty.

"I don't know. Why don't you tell me?" I shot back, crossing my arms. I wasn't able to sit right now. I wasn't calm enough.

"What? Kate, I really don't know why you're acting like this. Why don't you just tell me?" I gave him a chance to explain himself and he didn't grab it. Idiot. Acting all innocent. It just aggravated me even more. I pulled out my phone, quickly tapping away, finding the article that had me all worked up. I threw the phone at him.

"Does this tell you enough?" I raised my voice. I watched him as his eyes flew over the screen. His eyes widening, his breathing becoming uneven. I couldn't read his reaction. Was he mad about it? Was he going to deny everything? I just knew that for every second he didn't say anything, I became more and more aware that it was actually true. That he was with Kendall.
