Changed.

LXII. Stayed the same

Harry Styles

She went into our bathroom, only to have a wee but I know she would take a bit longer in there to think about stuff that actually mattered. I have a great feeling that it was about us, all over again. I even had second thoughts about going home the second I knew she was too. We both knew we weren't in good terms but we honestly tried to make things work by not even thinking about what happened. We actually did great, the moment I entered in our room, when I saw her lying on our bed. It wasn't awkward but it also wasn't like before so it still doesn't count as a good run for me. I stood up and placed my ear near the door and I heard her pep-talking herself. It was when I thought of my plan to seek a tiny revenge on her. I called Kate, the woman who took me home safely whilst I was drunk, and told her to come to this address, and so I waited for her until we all ate lunch downstairs.

I know that this wouldn't come out as planned but I had to teach her a lesson and I thank Kate and her boyfriend to actually let her come here with me, I just hope she comes on time.

And she did. The doorbell rang four times as how I told her to do earlier. I think of some lame excuse on how I should go to the door myself, and without a snap, I said, "I'll get it."

I walk in my normal pace and notice that my heartbeat wasn't in a calm way, like how it should have been in the very first place. Oh shit, here goes nothing.

I open the door and see Kate with a smile. She winked at me and gave me a warm hug, just like how our plan should start. "Let's go." She says, excitingly.

We both walk into the dining room where everyone was and at the very moment we stepped in, jaws were dropped down on the floor, silence mode was on, and everything felt real soothing, at first.

"Everyone, this is Kate. She's a friend of mine." She kisses my cheek in a warm welcome to all, especially to Sky. I'm in big trouble today.

They greeted her in a welcoming way but they all still looked confused and shocked by her sudden appearance in this house -- in our humble home.

"Sit here, Kate." I gestured her to sit next to me, I was between her and Sky.

"So, Kate, since we all don't have a bit of idea or information about you, why don't you tell us something about yourself." Gail says sarcastically, earning soft giggles from almost everyone in the room.

"Sure, that's great. Thank you." She answers, just like how we practiced not too long ago. I knew this attitude would be given first by Gail. "I'm Kate Sanders. I'm from Holmes, Chapel. I, uh, used to go to work for the CIA but now I'm a Travel Photographer."

"CIA? The fucking CIA!?" Calum practically shouted in shock that made all of us freeze with his question.

She giggles and answers, "Yeah, but I'm retired."

I watched their reactions and Sky had the best ones. She tried her very best to not hurt my hand while she held onto it for the last twenty minutes. I had to look at Kate for once in a while to make it look more realistic. We all were having a good time until a phone call was heard, and it was from Kate's pocket.

"I humbly apologize but can I be excused, I really have to take this." Kate said as she looks at me.

"Yeah, yeah. Its all fine." They said to her as I nodded also. She kisses my cheek as I smile back at her and then she left to answer the call.

A minute has already passed and I received a text from my phone. It was from Kate.

She wrote: "Sorry, the call ended within a minute, this might take a bit long, Harry. It's him."
