Lost In London

Chapter 4

As I walk out into the kitchen from the stairs, I see many new, but familiar faces. The girls look up from their food and smile. They invite me over to sit on a bar stool, where I started to tell them about my self. While I talked, Mary cooked something for me to eat. It was spaghetti with meatballs. When it was done, I ate all 3 helpings, and was still quite hungry.

"Do you want any sweets or snacks? I can get you some if you like," Mary explained to me.

"No, no. I don't want to eat all your food... Especially just getting here and all," I tell her, thanking her for the offer.

"I have to buy enough food to feed this bunch, I think I can manage to feed you as well, so help yourself to anything, because I'm not going to let you starve," she said while laughing.

Before I could reply, Niall runs upstairs, and back down again, only when he comes down he's carrying a tampax box. He it's down next to me, while rummaging through it. I look at him with a confused expression. He takes notice, and as if he read my mind, whispers in my ear.

"It's a... "Disguise", for say, so no one will go around trying to find my food. It's where I keep my most favorite snacks. He then pulls out a handkerchief, and covers up my eyes. I realize he wants me to do a blind taste test.

Over the next half hour, I carefully tested each one, savoring the deliciousness. When we were finished, he wouldn't allow me to take off my blindfold. A few minutes pass by without a word from anybody. Everyone was supposed to be in there, but I didn't hear a sound. I slowly peel my blindfold off and set it on the counter. I look around, my eyes adjusting to the light, and I notice the cupcakes off the island were missing. Before I had time to react, I'm attacked my a dozen cupcakes from behind, literally. The rest of the night consisted of throwing the cupcakes around the kitchen, then cleaning up the mess. Cleaning up chocolate cupcake isn't the funnest thing in the world. When it was all clean again, I jog back to my room to take another shower.

I bid everyone a goodnight when I got out, and hopped in bed. I was one tired girl.

I woke up sreaming and balling my eyes out. It must have been quite loud, because everyone rushed in to see what the problem was. It took a few minutes to realize what was happening. I soon figure out Harry is gripping my shoulders, shaking them with just enough force to bring me too. I come to quickly, and start crying my eyes out again. Liam and Louis are on either side of me, comforting me. I soon quit crying and tell myself I have to tell them the truth.

"There is, uh... Something I need to confess..." I say while looking down.

"Ok, we're listening," Niall says.

"Remember when I told you I was at the airport because my plane was having problems? Well that was a lie," I say while continuing to look down.

"I told you that so you wouldn't take pity on me, but it completely backfired because you helped me anyways. I feel absolutely terrible, and you have every right to be angry," I say to them, cautiously looking up.

"Wait, if you told us a lie so we WOULDN'T take pity on you, then what really happened to you?" Zayn asked curiously.

I sit there for a few seconds, calming myself down before I I spoke.

Once I knew I was calm enough, I spoke up.

"I'll start from the beginning. This summer, my family was going to fly to California to visit my cousins. They had not flown to tennessee in a few years, so we decided to go see them. Because I'm the oldest, I didn't want to spend my entire summer break with a bunch of little kids. Well, my boyfriend, Kyle, had said something to me about going to visit and aunt in London this summer because she was sick."

I pause and stare at the look on Niall's face when I said 'boyfriend'.

I continue on with my story.

"My dad had this idea that I could surprise Kyle by flying to England to see him. Well I got off the plane, and was in my way through the airport when I spotted him. My first thought was 'did he know I was coming?' Not until I said that were my questions answered. I see a girl run up to him and jump into his arms. They kissed each other passionately, and when they pulled away, Kyle locked eyes with me and hurried off. I passed out on a bench and woke up. That was right before I walked over to Louis and Harry." I finished telling them. They looked at me sympathetically, and Harry said, "Kaley, I am truly sorry. You didn't deserve that." They each hug me individually. The girls sit next to me and start to talk to me. "I know how it feels," Eleanor says. "Before I met Louis, my ex cheated on me." She embraces me tightly. Niall comes over and leads me downstairs, one hand supporting my back, the other on my shoulder.

When we reach the kitchen, he pulls out a chair for me to sit down on. Louis then starts making tea, and Niall goes to the cabinets. They come back soon, Louis setting down a cup of warm tea, and Niall setting down a sandwich. I slowly eat in silence. When I'm finished, I sip my tea until there nothing left, and we all bid our good nights for the second time that night.

All who was left was Liam and Danielle. She looks at me and says, "Liam will sleep with you tonight." We both begin to protest, but she quiets us. "He really is quite comforting, and friends look out for each other. I trust both if you, and it's only to make you feel secure and safe. He has that effect on me." She then hugs me, tells me goodnight, and goes to her room.

I put my dishes in the sink, and walk with Liam back upstairs. Once in my room, we climb in bed.

"Goodnight Kaley," he says while going to sleep.

He puts his arms around me and we slowly drift back off to sleep. The rest if the night consisted if peaceful dreaming.
