Cardboard Castle

Chapter 8

Authors Note: I told you all it would get better! Props if you're still reading! This one is a little more touchy then last chapter, heads up! xx

Kats POV: 

I don't remember when i fell asleep, but i do remember that Niall basically broke up with me last night. When i woke up, i still couldn't feel. I felt like i had to hold my body together, because Niall had emotionally punched a hole straight through my heart. 

When i got up, i was honestly hoping that everyone else would be gone for the day. I walked into the kitchen, and thankfully, i was alone. There was a hand written note on the fridge door though, it read:

Kat, I'm sorry about everything that happened last night. I know its a lot to take in, and you more then anything deserve an explanation .If its okay, i'll be by around 1 this afternoon to pick up some stuff, the boys and i got a hotel, seeing as you didn't want us to be around. We will leave tomorrow, earlier then expected.                      Much love, Liam. xx

At least it was from Liam, not from Niall. But just seeing the reality of the note, reminding me what really happened made me cry.  I didn't want it to be real, i wanted Niall to walk back through the door any moment, and kiss me telling me it was just a joke. But sadly that wasn't going to happen. 

I spent the day on the couch, not looking forward to my explanation that was coming later in the day. I didn't bother changing clothes, or fixing my hair. I still had on Nialls hoodie, and shorts. My hair in a very very messy bun. But why should i care what i looked like?  I had no one to impress anymore. 

I texted Liam, because i couldn't handle the silence anymore. 

Liam P: Liam, will you please come on over, i need a friend.

In less then a minute, i got a response; "on my way"

It only took Liam about 20 minutes to get to my house, which means that they were staying in a hotel that was close by. Molly probably just went home.  Liam knocked on my door, i got up to open it for him. As soon as the door was open enough for me to fit through, i hugged Liam. I dont know what it was, but i was ecstatic to see him. 

"Hey, Kat. How are you, love?"

I started crying. I couldn't even think about last night, Liam was a perfect reminder of it though. 

"Kat, please don't cry." He comforted me. 

I led Liam to the couch, and sat him down across from me. I guess he got the hint of i wanted an explanation because i just looked at him. 

"Okay," he started, "Basically, ever since we were on the x-factor, Louis and Harry have had a different friendship. Anyone can see that. They just boded so close so soon, and no one can explain it. Their friendship soon turned into more, a relationship. Both of them like girls, they aren't gay in any form, other then for each other. We've discussed it as a band, because we didn't want it to get weird, seeing as were all guys. No one can fully understand their relationship."

"I get that, but why is that such a big deal? Why did Niall have to lie to me? Why could i know? Why couldn't someone tell me?" I cried out to Liam.

"Kat, please stay calm. No one could tell you, because at the beginning when we first got signed, Simon Cowell knew that something was going on between Harry and Louis. He made them sign a contract saying that they would keep it secret, and he made the rest of the boys, us, sign a different contract saying we wouldn't tell anyone unless they found out, aka you, because the majority of our fans would leave us if they found out the boys they droll over are gay."

"Only Harry and Louis? I'm not getting used?"

"No! I can promise you that Niall loves you with all his heart, and Zayn and I are straight."

"If he loves me with all his heart, why did he break up with me?"

"He was probably just frustrated, i'm sure you two will be back together by a few days."

"Liam? Come back. Stay here the rest of your three days of break. Not just you, but everyone. But make sure Harry breaks up with Molly."

"Okay, ill go get the boys and bring them back. But no Molly?"

"Right." I told him. 

-

Liam had left, and i had gone back to my fetal position on the couch. Liam could tell me that Niall still loved me as much as he wanted, but there was no way in hell i could believe it. If he actually loved me, he wouldn't have put me through that in the first place. 

I was so numb, everything inside me hurt, i didn't want to feel. I went to the bathroom, and got my anti depressants out. It was the only thing i could do. I opened the orange bottle, and swallowed about ten pills. I then grabbed my phone, and made a new text.

To:Niall

I'm sorry, i had to do this.
