Katie’s POV

“Move!” A group of guys shouted in my face, waking me up. I opened my eyes furiously blinking, blinded by the sun.

“I said move!” the tallest guy said. I stood up stumbling as I started to run away. I didn’t know where to go, so I wandered the streets looking for something to eat. I couldn’t see anything lying around so I decided to go look in the bins of the restaurants. I cringed at the thought of climbing in the bins as I walked over to Nandos.

I walked around the back quietly, when I saw a half burger on the floor. I walked over to it and picked it up, inspecting it. The meat was looking good but the bread was going green with mould. The cheese was all mouldy but there was nothing I could do, I needed my three meals a day and this was as good as I would get. I scratched off most of the mould from the bread and put it towards my mouth. I took a large bite, and pulled a face at the taste. I put the rest of it in my bag and carried on walking.

As I went past the entrance of Nandos, I saw Niall. I couldn’t let him see me like this. I can’t let any of them know that I was homeless, ate from the streets. What would they think of me then? I ran away from where he was, till I was at a park. I think he recognized who I was and hence he followed me. I saw a river so I quickly went near the river bank and took off my shoes and socks and sat down, dangling my feet in the water.

“Hey!” Niall shouted behind me, making me jump slightly. I looked up at him. Luckily he was thinking that I didn’t see him at Nandos.

“Hey,” I replied. He sat down next to me.

“Sorry I scared you,” he told me. I blushed stupidly.

“It’s alright,” I smiled.

“Urm, did you sleep okay, you look kind of tired,” he said. Shit! Does he know something? How could this happen? I was so careful. I fiddled with my hands, not knowing what to say. He looked at me, looking guilty. “I am so sorry, I didn’t mean you looked bad, just tired, I promise!” he stuttered. I smiled.

“Yeah, I know. I actually didn’t have a great sleep,” I admitted. He rubbed my back gently.

“Aww, how come?” he asked. I sighed. I didn’t really have anything to say. I couldn’t tell him the real reason. I wasn’t good at making up excuses; especially on the spot.

“Do I have to say?” I asked. He shook his head.

“No, of course not. I would love if you could tell me but it’s okay if you don’t want to,” he told me. I shook my head slowly. Just then, my stomach rumbled.

“And I’m guessing you didn’t have breakfast,” he told me. I shook my head.

“Haha, with your lucky guesses, you should go on a game show,” I tried to joke. He just looked at me seriously. I put my head down slightly, feeling embarrassed.

“Look, you have to have breakfast, come on, I’ll treat you,” he said standing up. He extended his hand helping me up. I took it gratefully and stood up, following him. He took me to a café and ordered me a sandwich and hot chocolate. Then we waited for the food to come.

Niall’s POV

We waited for the food to come and her stomach rumbled again. Just then, her meal came. I paid and she picked up the sandwich appreciatively. She took a huge bite, then another, and another, sighing in content. She looked so cute eating.
