Kats POV:

When i woke up the next morning, Niall was still asleep. I wasn't walking out to face the band alone. 

"Niall, wake up."

He shuffled around under the sheets, "noooooooooooooooo." 

"Yes, I'm not facing them by myself, now get up!"

It took a few minutes, but Niall finally got up. I had his hoodie on, and my favorite pair of Nike shorts. He had on a red tee shirt, and sweat pants. I grabbed his hand and led him into the living area of my parents house. When we got there, no one looked at us, they just kept doing what they were doing; Liam on his laptop, Zayn playing FIFA, Harry showing Molly something on his phone, and Louis making breakfast. 

I glanced up at Niall so see what his reaction was, with no doubt, his cheeks were rosy red. 

"Liam? You have a good night last night, mate?" Harry asked him. 

"Yeah, Zayn, i did! How about you Louis?" Liam added on.

"Yeah! Marvelous!" Louis finished the joke. 

Zayn was dying laughing, barley able so speak, "Niall... How was your night?" He asked, barley able to spit it out. 

I looked at Niall, waiting for his answer.

"Well, Mate, ya' going to answer?" Harry asked. 

"Great, now shut up." Niall finally answered. I couldn't take it, they were making me so uncomfortable. I turned around, and padded down the hall back to my bed room, locking the door behind me. I heard Niall call after me, but i didn't answer, and i wasn't letting him into my room. 

Once in my room, i turned on my radio and layed in my bed, just listening. I don't know how long i was in there, maybe only  a few minutes, when i heard a knock on my door. 

"Go away Niall." 

"Actually, it's me" a small female voice replied to my command. 

"Molly!" I got up and opened the door, making sure there wasn't a boy band member following behind her. Once she was in, i locked the door once again. 

"Okay, Kat. Spill, whats the problem?" 

"I honestly.." I didn't know, why had i gotten mad?" I guess its just that everyone has been treating me so differently lately, and then i wake up this morning and everyone is calm and joking, which i am okay with, but they act like nothing has been weird lately when obviously it has!"

"Kat, i really just think you're over re-acting. Come on, come back into the living room."

Molly and I walked out, and sat on the couch together. The boys were all on the opposite couch, eating the breakfast Louis made and playing FIFA. Niall didn't look at me, he just kept playing. I didn't know if i was happy about that, or upset. Maybe he's just giving me distance, no problem.

Later that evening, Liam, Niall and Zayn all went out to the movies, Molly and I stayed back to clean the house. Harry and Louis went out for dinner at a restaurant i had suggested, called Mio's Pizzeria

About an hour after everyone had left, Molly and I had finished the upper levels of the house, and were moving on to the basement,  where the big bathroom is and the pool table. 

"Kat? Mind if i take a shower real quick, i feel gross and wanna clean up before Harry gets back!" Molly had asked once we got downstairs. 

"Yeah, I'm gonna go upstairs and make us dinner, see you when you get out!" I had told her. She nodded her head and went into the bathroom.
