Hard Past, New Future

Chapter 2 - The Meet & Greet

"Hey Katrina, wake up. Breakfast's ready!"whispered Liam as he gently, shook me awake. I drowsily awoke quickly and trudged to the kitchen.

"Mornin' babe" ; said Niall as he got a plate out for me. "Hi" I spoke raspily, still not entirely awake. Louis looked at me for a split second, ignoring my existence. I looked at the amazing selection of food on the island, even though I see this nearly everyday, it amazes me at how much they have! I grabbed some pancakes and doused them in syrup, then grabbed some bacon. "Got enough syrup?" joked Zayn. We all made our way to the livingroom to eat. "What do you guys want to watch?" I asked as I flicked on the TV. "FAMILY GUY!" They all shouted, I wasn't surprised. "Family Guy it is haha!" I switched the station and began to eat.

We didn't really pay much attention to the show, we mostly spoke about the boys meet & greet today. "I'm so excited! Our fans are such sweethearts!" shrieked Liam, they all nodded in agreement. "What is Katrina going to do while we're there?" questioned Harry. "She can sit in the back room, ill come and check on you every now & then." explained Niall. We decided that would be the plan. After breakfast, we all went to our rooms to get changed. I changed from my pyjamas into blue skinny jeans, my grey sweater, black frilled boots & some accessories. I curled my brunette hair and slipped on my white beanie.

I waited in the living room for the boys. Niall was the first out. He looked, perfect. "You look.. Beautiful.." Niall said shyly. *as always* I heard him huff under is breath. "Thanks, you don't look half bad yourself" I spoke with a wink. He giggled, his laugh is so cute! The rest of the boys came out of their rooms, ready to go. "Let's hit the road!" Announced Harry. So we all went downstairs, and of course, there were fans. Loads & loads of them. All asking various questions but the most questions were directed towards me. I tried my best to tune them out as we rushed to the limo. "To the meet & greet!" It took us about 20 mins to finally get there, most of the way fans were pounding on the car, running behind us.

We rushed into the empty building as soon as we got there. But it was soon to be filled from wall to wall with fans. Niall lead me to the room he spoke about earlier. " Here's a couple of magazines and there's food and drinks in the fridge over there" "Thanks" I said sheepishly. He shot me a smile and walked to the m&g table. Soon enough I heard the screams of fans fill the building. I sat in the room, alone. I skimmed over some of the magazines, just your regular everyday gossip. I went to cupboard and grabbed a glass. I walked over to the tap to get some water. I filled my glass and attempted to turn off the tap. The knob was broken, just my luck. I walked out to find Niall, not really being aware of my surroundings.

Screams. Everywhere. Bodies filled the room. It really was NOT helping my claustrophobia. I began to panic a bit, I tried my best to keep calm. "NIALL! NIALL!!" Why was I even trying? There was no way he could hear me. I was going to walk over to him, but I would have to pass through the impatient fans. I breathed slowly.. Then I made a run for it, pushing people out of my way, apologizing here and there. When all of the sudden, a group of girls stopped me. "Hey! You're the slut who broke my Louis' heart!!" A blonde girl spoke. "I-I'm not trying to cause trouble.." I said nervously. Right after I spoke those words, they began throwing punches. I dodged a couple but a tall girl with black hair and beady eyes nailed me right in the nose. The room went dark..
