One Summer with 1D

Chapter 8

When I walked inside, Kate stomped up to me and slapped me hard on my left cheek. I stumbled to the ground and Maggie and Sailor both ran to each of my sides. They each held an arm gently and stroked my hair and asked me if I was alright. I didn't answer.

Instead, I got up and walked right past the angry Kate and got on my knees and pulled my suitcase out from under the bed. Kate noticed the sweatshirt I was wearing.

"I see you brought back a souvenoir with you," She said in disgust. I ignored her comment and walked over to Maggie and Sailor. I kept my voice low while talking to them.

"Mags, Sailo, please try to cool her down. When she's calm and relaxed and happy, please text me and I'll come back to explain everything. Don't let her harm you guys like she just did to me and if she does, tell me so I can come back and kick her..." All of a sudden, both of my girls hugged me while in tears. I did the same. I pulled away.

"I love you guys. I still love Kate too and I know she still loves me. Please don't worry about me because I will be fine." Maggie and Sailor nodded their heads in agreement. I gave them a smile and walked out of our cabin. I took a deep breath and began to walk to the boys' cabin.

When I got to the door, I knocked and quickly, Liam answered. He knew something was wrong. He took my suitcase and led me inside. I saw that he was alone.

"Sit. I'll get you something to drink." I did as I was told and took a seat on the couch. I noticed a flat screen TV and a xBox 360. How did they get that? Our cabin doesn't even have a radio. I watched as Liam got a soda from the mini fridge.

He walked over to me and handed me the soda. I thanked him and he took a seat next to me. I opened the soda, took a drink, and sat it down on the nearby coffee table.

"You can tell me if you want," He said in his kind voice. Then, I just burst into tears. Liam scooted closer to me and wrapped his arms around me. So many things were going on right now.

About 10 minutes later, the rest of the boys walked in. They stopped their conversation when they saw me in Liam's arms crying. Harry rushed over to me and got down on one knee.

"What's wrong, love," He asked me.

"All of this drama that's been happening with Kate and I. When I went back to our cabin and I walked inside she immediately smacked my face because she thinks I'm a slut. But, she didn't even believe me when I tried to explain." I sat up from Liam's arms and wiped my wet face on Louis' sweatshirt. Then, Harry hugged me and I buried my face into his neck and began to cry again.

"We're here for you, okay? If you need anything, and I mean anything, ask," Harry told me. These boys are being so sweet and all of this drama is revolving around me.

"Boys, a word," Liam asked. All of the boys followed Liam outside of the cabin, leaving me alone inside. What were they going to discuss? Was it about me?

The boys walked back inside after about 5 minutes and made their way to the couch area and sat down. We all fit on the couch but it was a tight squeeze. Liam began talking when we were all situated.

"Cedes, we know how upset you've been and we feel terrible for you. So, we have all agreed to let you stay at our cabin for as long as you need." I would have never guessed that they were talking about that.

"Thank you, guys," I said as I pulled them all into a hug. I officially love these boys. They're so kind and such great friends.

"I don't know about you guys, but I'm

hungry," Niall announced. We all pulled out of the hug and laughed. I wiped away the last of my tears.

"Niall, you're always hungry," Zayn replied.

"Actually, I'm getting pretty hungry too," I informed them.

"What's for dinner at the mess hall," Louis asked.

"I don't know. Let's go and find out," I replied. We walked outside the mess hall and read the menu; burgers and tater tots. That sounded so good. We walked in and got in line after we all grabbed a tray. When we all got our food, we searched for a table.

"I don't see any free tables. Anyone up for a picnic," I asked. The boys shrugged and smiled and we walked outside and underneath a tree where some wooden tables were.

"Yum, I love tater tots," I announced.

"I love a girl with an appetite," Niall replied with a smile.

"I know right, I hate it when girls just eat salads for a living," Harry added.

"I don't think I could live off of salads. I might eat a salad every once in a while at a dinner party but that's it. Girls who eat salads believe that they'll stay skinny by just eating them, but when in reality, all they need is at least 60 minutes of being active," I informed.

"Preach it, sister," Zayn told me. We all laughed and continued eating. I was the first one done eating, so I decided to climb the tree beside our picnic table. I found a limb that was bare and swung from my knees on it right above the table. The boys didn't see me and when I swung down they all squealed in fear. No joke, they actually squealed.

"You guys scream like little girls....ahhhh!" Then I fell off of the branch and face first into the table, luckily missing all of the trays.

"Oww," I managed to squeak out. Then all of the boys started laughing. I got off of the table and sat down beside Harry.

"So Harry, are we still having our date tonight?" All of the other boys' eyes went wide and turned to Harry. I'm guessing they didn't know about it.

"Yeah, but I made a few changes to our venue though."

"Oh really? Are you gonna tell me about it?"

"I will when we get back to the cabin."

"Wait, you guys are going on a date? You're really cheating on me, Cedes," Louis said with a hurt look.

"Louis, we were never going out," I told him with a smile.

"But, I let you wear my sweatshirt, and we slept together."

"I'm pretty sure I slept with everyone at this table," I told him with a hint of laughter in my voice. Then I heard someone clearing their voice behind me. I turned around and it was Kate.
