Falling for you| Katiefeely

Truths

Katie's pov:

Hughie was standing too close to a blonde girl. They were talking. No, more like arguing. My ears only picked on some words as he was whisper yelling at her.

"We can't keep on doing this" Hughie frustrated voice reached my ears. He sounded hesitant when he blurted the next words. "I have a girlfriend. And I don't want to break her heart"

"Then why did you sleep with me? Weren't you thinking about your girlfriend back then?" Lizzie who's voice pierced my ears said. I could only see her side profile which was too familiar for me to not recognise. I kept my hand on the doorknob and tried to stand still afraid that they will see me.

Tears welled my eyes but I refused to let them fall. My jaw was clenched and my throat filled with a dry lump that made it hard to swallow. My eyes were unfolding the scene that was playing in front of me as if it was a movie.

I felt betrayed.

"I know." Hughie said again. "I shouldn't have"

"But you did." Lizzie interrupted him. "Not once. Not even twice. It was frequent and I'm sick of seeing you with her. So choose."

Frequent? How frequent? I don't even know how to feel anymore. Betrayed? Hurt? Used? I felt all at once.

Was I ever enough?

As hard as I tried not to cry, my sobs wracked my body. I held my hand against my mouth to muffle the sound fearing that they would witness my breakdown.

"You can't keep doing this. End things with her or we'll stop." Lizzie said looking annoyed when Hughie stepped back.

"I can't." He whispered more to himself "You know the situation." He said clearly now.

"I don't care about anything right now Hughie. Were you using me because you couldn't get intimate with your girlfriend or what?" Lizzie shouted getting angry.

"You know what Hughie. Fuck you. You can go back to your princess and continue pretending so she won't get hurt. I'm off." She said making her way towards the door.

"No. No. Lizzie I never said that." Hughie panicked. He held her closer to his body. His hands on her waist. And he tugged her face making her look up. "You know that I Ioved you since forever. Only you." And like that he kissed her.

I closed my eyes so tight that it hurted my eyeballs. Trying to erase the image of my mind. Trying to convince myself that none of this is real. It's just a nightmare. He will never do this to me. But the only thing that seemed to cross my mind was Hughie kissing Lizzie. Him confession his love to her in front of my eyes. His betrayal and how deeply he cut me from the inside.

I stepped back. I needed air. That was the only thing crossing my mind. I couldn't breath. My sight was blurry. I couldn't see anything.

I just want to go home and die in my despair.

But someone held me. Steadying me.

"Katie." I heard my name but it felt miles away.

"Katie. Hey are you okay." The voice was panicking. I can't feel my legs anymore.

"Katie. Respond." The words were in the tip of my lips. But I couldn't utter them.

"I- want." I took a deep breath.

"I want to get out of here." I said hating how weak and fragile I sounded.

"Ok. Ok. Just take a deep breath. You're panicking." The voice said again.

The person was holding me close. Their hands on my shoulder. My face was buried in their chest. I wanted to stay their forever. And forget what i witnessed moments ago. But how could I?

When i felt the panick wearing off. I took a step back. But I felt embarrassed when i faced Patrick. Did he know? They are bestfriend's after all. But I shook the thought off my head.

"I'm sorry." I said enable of looking at his eyes.

"Don't apologies. You did nothing wrong. Do you feel better?" He said tighten his hold on my hand. I hadn't noticed him holding my hands.

"I'm fine. There's nothing." I said letting go of his hands. "I will just go home. Thanks again for bringing me here." I wish you didn't.

"There's no way I'm letting you go alone in this state. I'm taking you." He said steadfastly.

"There's no need. I can go myself. And I'm fine." I said as I looked at him lastly.
He looked worried. Empathetic and angry maybe. I don't know. I was to overwhelmed by my feelings to think properly.

"Look Patrick. I'm fi-" He interrupted me

"No. You're coming with me. You're not in a good state. I will take you wherever you want ok." He looked at me. And the way he looked at me made my heart skip for a beat. It looked too caring. His blue eyes held to many emotions that I can't unravel. Not in my state obviously. But it hid a lot of things.

"Just come" He smiled softly at me.

I nodded
