What About Now || h.s. *COMPLETED*

Chapter 38 - Feeling Guilty

I quickly got off Louis and off his bed.

"I'm so sorry Katie. I didn't mean to. It didn't mean anything. Please don't tell Harry."

Without saying anything to Louis, I went back into the living room, sat back down next to Liam and brought my knees to my chest. Taken was almost over, but I wasn't paying attention to it at all. All I could think of was Louis kissing me. I knew it was an accident. The look on his face after he did it made me know it was an accident, yet I still feel guilty for even getting myself into that situation to begin with. I looked at the time on my phone, it wouldn't be a couple more hours until I had to pick up my brothers from school, but I wanted to get out of the house and talk to Liam about what just happened. But I didn't want to make it obvious that I was leaving. So I got up and went to the bathroom. I went to the window and opened it; rain water came rushing in. I pulled out my phone and texted Liam.

"Hey Liam. Can you meet me at my car? I need to talk to you. ~KatyKat".

I shoved my phone into my back pocket and climbed out the window. The rain was freezing cold on my arms, but I ran to my car and got in. I turned on my car and turned up the heat; the thunderstorm looked like it was getting more and more worse by the minute. The passenger side door opened and in climbed Liam. I began to drive away from the house; I wasn't sure on where I was driving to.

"What did you want to talk about Katie?" Liam asked.

"I have this problem..." I trailed off.

"Did something happen between you and Louis?" I didn't say anything except letting out a sigh. "What did Louis do?"

"Well, he ran off with my phone and started taking pictures of himself, then of me and then of us together."

"And that's a problem?"

Out of the corner of my eye, I saw him raise an eyebrow.

"No, that wasn't the problem. It's what happens after."

"Well what happened?"

I pulled into some random parking lot and shut off my car.

"Well, I had grabbed my phone back froom him...I had fallen on top of him...we were laughing so hard that I didn't realize that he...that he..."

"Katie, what did he do?"

"He kissed me, Liam. But he told me it was an accident and that it meant nothing."

"Do you believe him, you know that it was an accident and that it meant nothing?"

"I want to, but I can't. I mean, you see the fun Louis and I have, right?" Liam nodded his head. "I just feel like I'm making you all hormonal boys when I'm near you guys. First Zayn, now Lou."

"Zayn?"

Did that just slip out of my mouth? I wasn't even sure if it was true if it was me that he liked. I mean, from the body language he was sending me, it sure looked like it was me.

"I think he was hinting at me that he liked me."

Then my phone buzzed. I didn't really want to be bothered with it so I handed it to Liam.

"Hello?" he said.

I looked over at Liam and his face was so calm.

"Louis, I understand it was a mistake, she's just overwhelmed. Let her think this through."

I could faintly hear Louis' voice on the phone.

"I will. Bye Lou."

Liam hung up and handed me my phone back.

"He says he's really sorry."

Do you think Louis is truly sorry?
