Pinky Promise *ON HOLD*

Chapter 2

"Katrina?!"

"Niall?!"

We both looked at each other in shock. Niall, not expecting to see me working here and I, not expecting for him to remember me. 

"Katrina..." his voice was barely audible and he looked down at the table. My eyes started to tear up and I ran back into the kitchen. I couldn't believe he was here and I wanted to hug him forever and never let go, but right now I just couldn't do that. I can't forgive him now, he'll probably just leave me like he did 3 years ago.

"Hey," I feel someone gently touch my arm, "I have a lot that I need to tell you."

Niall.

"No, I get it. You're famous now. You've made new friends and you hang out with celebrities. You just don't have time for me anymore. I get it."

"No! You don't understand! After I made it through the X Factor, management had to get me a new phone and change my number! I couldn't contact you after that!"

I just sat there in silence, staring at the ground. I want to believe him, I want to believe him so bad. But a part of me is telling me not to trust him anymore.

"Look, I'm sorry okay? I'm so sorry that you think I forgot about you, but I didn't. I worried that you'd think the fame went to my head. I thought about how I was gonna come back to Ireland and set things right between you and me. I'm sorry, I truly am sorry for what I did. And if there's anything that I can do to make it up to you, I'll do it. Because no matter what it takes, I'm willing to risk my life for you if you'd forgive me and trust me like you used to. We used to be best friends and to me, we still are." he looks at me with his bright blue eyes, "But I guess, if you don't want to be best friends anymore..."

I thought about it for a minute. Isn't this what I've wanted all along? For him to come back and for us to still be best friends? "I guess we can still be best friends but I won't be forgiving you any time soon."

"I understand." he said, "Well guess what?" he grins.

"What?"

"We're gonna go catch up!" a second later I'm being yanked up from the floor and we're running out of the restaurant.

"Wait! I still have to work!" 

"Whatever! YOLO!!!"

"Shut up! Only losers say that!"

He stops and me being the clumsy person I am, I fall on top of him. He rolls over so that he's on top of me now, "What did you call me?"

I grin from ear to ear, "Loser! L-O-S-E-R what's that spell? LOSER!!!" I scream in his face.

"You know, you really shouldn't say things that you'll regret later."

"What are you talking abo-" Niall picks me up and throws me over his shoulder.

"Damn it. Not this again." I sigh.

"We're going to go visit my mates."

"What?! I'm in my Nando's uniform and I don't have any makeup on!"

"That's okay, it's not like any of them will fall for someone like you."

"Gee thanks, buddy." I reply sarcastically.

"What? It's true. I mean, seriously! You are such a slob when it comes to your room, and you can burp WAY louder than I can. It doesn't get any more unattractive than that, Kitty."

Kitty is Niall's nickname for me. I have no idea how he got Kitty from Katrina, but I didn't mind him calling me that.

"We're here!" he sets me down in front of a door to someone's flat. Without hesitation, he walks in.

"Give me back my mirror!"

"Never!!!!"

"Stop it you guys! You're gonna break something!"

"So this is the boy band that girls die over? Weird. I thought girls liked mature guys not goofs like these guys." I said to Niall.

"Well maybe if you actually get to know them, they won't seem that bad," he said back to me. I turned my head back to be greeted by a Louis. Yeah, I knew his name. Only because I watched Niall on the X Factor once One Direction was formed. Their music isn't really my type. They're all about girls, nothing really meaningful to me. It's the same thing with Taylor Swift, a new breakup means a new song.

"So, you're the girl that Niall always talks about. Hmm...." he examines me, "Not bad, Nialler."

I look at Niall to see him blushing, and I don't know why but I find it to be kinda cute.

"Nice to meet you. I'm Louis 'the Tommo' Tomlinson. You must be Katrina."

"Hi." I gave him a quick smile, "You know, Niall just simply CAN'T stop talking about you. He's obsessed!"

"I don't think there's anything wrong with a little crush." Harry says, "Hi. I'm Harry. Harry Styles. How about I take you out sometime?" I blush a little bit. We've just met and he already wants to take me out? "You know, so we can get to know each other a bit better?"

"S-sure."

"Oh, here's a good idea! How about now?"

"I can't! Do you see what I'm wearing?!"

"I think you'd look beautiful in anything. Even a Nando's uniform." he winks at me and I instantly feel my cheeks heat up.

"Well, that's Harry being Harry. He's just such a flirt." Zayn comes over to me, "Name's Zayn. The only thing you probably need to know about me is that I don't like being woken up. So if you try anything, I wish you good luck." he smiles and goes to sit back down on the couch.

"And that leaves me. Hello, I'm Liam. Don't mind the boys, I promise you that I have everything under control now." Just then, there's a loud crash in the kitchen. We all hurry over to see what happened.

"Oopsies." Louis says. He dropped a glass cup on the floor.

Liam sighs, "What am I gonna do with you boys?" he begins to pick up glass pieces off of the floor.

Harry sneaks up behind me, "So how about we go on our little date now?" Date? I thought we were just getting to know each other! I started to feel a little awkward.

"Let's go to the park." he grabs my hand and we walk out the door.

Well, let's hope this turns out okay.
