Hard Past, New Future

Chapter 6 - Confused

So now it's April 24, 2 days from my party! I woke up on the couch and noticed Sophie was gone, I got up an went to the kitchen, there was a note on the fridge. "Katrina, I had to go to work at 8:00! Ill call you after my final shift! - Soph" Well that explains why she isn't here. My phone began to beep on the coffee table, I lazily, walked over and picked it up, it was a reminder. 'Doctor's appointment at 12:30!!' Shoot!! I forgot that was today! I have to get X-rays on my nose again. I looked at my phone time, it read 11:47. I only have about an hour to get ready!

I ran to my room and slipped on the first few things I found, my ripped skinnies & my Aerò shirt. I pulled on some socks and hurried out my door. I rushed out and ran into Niall in the hall. "Oh, sorry babe" he whispered in a sleepy voice and walked back to his room. I smiled shyly & quickly went to the washroom. I peered at my reflection in the mirror, I didn't wash off my makeup last night and it rubbed all over my face. Ugh! Just another thing to slow me down!! I grabbed a washcloth & wet it. I tried my best to scrub it all off, my luck, it came off quite easily. I brushed out my hair and pulled it into a high ponytail. I walked out to the kitchen and looked up at the clock, 12:15. I had to hurry, I grabbed my car keys and went outside to my blue jeep. I turned the ignition, surprisingly there weren't any sight of fans.

I made it to the hospital right on time and was in the same hospital room as last time. The doctor X-rayed my nose & showed me the results. Everything was healed up perfectly to my relief.

He gave me some cream to put on it so the outer skin would heal.

I drove back home & rushed in so I wouldn't get mobbed by paparazzi, one of the boys must've went somewhere and were waiting for him to get back. It's crazy how much publicity there is! I must've been fairly quiet when I walked in because I had walked in on Zayn dancing around the living room in nothing but his boxers and blasting Selena Gomez. He had been doing that for about 2 mins until he turned around and instantly turned a dark shade of red, and I don't think it helped that I was laughing so hard my stomach hurt. "How much have you seen?" He asked nervously. "Up until -- about Haha umm 2 minutes ago" I breathlessly spoke in between laughs. "Oh god! I'm sorry Zayn!" I spoke through my hand, hiding my ear-to-ear grin. He blushed and went to his room.

Still grasping my gut, I walked to my room. I decided to plan more for my party. I first, picked out my outfit, yesterday as Zayn went to the mail for the invitations, he checked our box as well & my mother had sent me a gorgeous pink- sequinned dress. It was above my knee and had spaghetti straps. It was love at first sight. I had to chose some shoes to go with it so I pulled out my beige flats with bows on the tip. I found a few bracelets,necklaces & a pair of earrings. There! Set for my look.

I decided to flick on the TV and relax for a bit.

Nialls POV

"Shit!" I groaned.

"What's the problem?" asked Liam

*facepalm* "I forgot to get roses!!!" I muttered loudly as a grabbed my coat & car keys. I ran out of the house and into my car, ignoring the mob that was in my way. I hopped in and hit the gas. I went 'Greenhouse Gardens' and found the brightest, new in bloom, roses I could find.

Then I stopped at the dollar store and bought 1 fake rose. I know it may be cheesy, but I'm gonna pull the 'ill love you until the last one dies' but I honestly think it'll be romantic! After that, I drove back home.

Katrina's POV

Niall walked into the house. He had a small box in his hands. "Who's the lucky girl?" I spoke with a wink. "Well, I've been waiting a long time to tell her.." He said meekly. He came up to me and kneeled down in front of me. "Katrina Reade, will you be my wife?" I stood in amazement, unsure of what to do.. "U-um.. Aren't we a bit young?" I stuttered. "Love has no age babe" He whispered. "I d-d--"

I awoke to the sound of a door close.

"What a dream.." I whispered to myself" My door was open a crack & I saw Niall scurry into his room & shut his door. Oh my god. The tweet, the text, Harry's asking if he had asked me a 'question' the sneaking around and the dream! Is Niall going to propose??

I think I'm jumping to extreme conclusions, but if he were to, those are some good clues. Even if he did, I don't think I would turn him down.. I just don't know.. I know I really like him, and now I think I love him, but would I love him enough to get married at 17?..
