*Kat’s POV*
Something startles me awake and I pry my eyes open against the blinding light to see a bus screeching to a halt. I muster up what little energy I have and wave him along. I slowly take in my surroundings; the street in front of me, the cold metal bench pressed up against my bare legs, I sit up and see a sign that tells me I’m at a bus stop. How did I get here? And where exactly is here? I can’t remember anything and the pounding in my head is making all that much harder to think. Ok Kat get your shit together what do you remember? I know I’m somewhere in Ireland Em and I took a vacation to Dublin. I look down at my pink sequined dress that barely covers my ass and remember that we went out to the pub last night but I can’t remember anything past walking in and ordering a shot. I hear a muffled vibration from underneath the bench. I look down and find my purse and phone thank god it still has a charge. I gather my belongings and place them in a heap on my lap before opening the text message I had received.
Em: hey dnt mean to sound like a mom but just wanted to make sure ur ok. U nvr made it back to the hotel last night did ya get lucky ;)
My fingers quickly glided over the keys and typed out a response
Yeah Im fine no need to worry Ill meet up with u later dnt no when tho
I feel slightly bad about letting Emily think nothing’s wrong but I don’t want to ruin her vacation just because I couldn’t handle my alcohol for some reason. For the first time since I woke up I actually look at the buildings around me and things start to look familiar, but not from last night, from my childhood in Mullingar. How the hell did I end up in Mullingar when I started the night almost an hour away in Dublin? I rummaged through my purse to find my wallet only coming up empty. Great just great! So I’m stranded an hour away from my hotel with no money and no way back what the hell am I going to do? I take my phone back out and scroll through my contacts stopping at one name: Greg Horan. Should I? Can I? It’s been almost 5 years since I’ve talked to anyone in that family and even when I lived next door Greg and I weren’t exactly close; we fought more than anything else. Face it Kat! You have no other options it’s time to put on your big girl panties and suck it up. I took a deep breath a shakily pressed call.
“Hello?”
“Greg?” my voice shook with nerves and fear
“Kat?”
AN: Sorry it was so short and nothing really happened this was kind of a slow chapter to get things moving. The rest of the fic won’t move so slowly and Niall will probably show up in the next chapter
