Washed up & Broken (One Direction Fan Fiction)

Chapter 1

I was quite surprised when we arrived at the apartment. (P.S. That's just the living room) "So," Morgan beings. "We cleared you a spot in the back storage room. I'll help you get your stuff back there." I nod and Megan and Morgan carry my stuff back there. It's mainly clothes in four or five boxes. I left everything pretty much. Except the notes Liam has sent me three years ago and a picture of us when he first went to the XFactor. My room is a bed, desk, and small home made bookshelf made out of books. A closet, and a clothing rack. The bed looks out a giant window into a cool stone alley. It's got a good view. "I like it," I smile.

"Great!" Megan exclaims. "Do you need any help unpacking?" I look to the boxes they had set on the floor.

"Nah, I'll be fine," I smile. The two twins nod.

"Ok if you need us we'll be in the living room." They turn and leave, closing the door behind them. I search through the boxes until I find my iPod and iPod Dock. I plug the Dock in and turn on "Turn Your Face" by Little Mix. It's my song for Liam. He's gotten so popular over the years. I have every magazine cover and article about them, One Direction, all saved in a little binder. I take out the binder and set it on the desk. And I put my clothes into the closet. My jeans and shorts and shoes go on the clothing rack. I sing softly to the song I have on replay, and begin making the room my own by moving things around.

I spend most of the day in my room, 'till about 5:30 PM. Morgan comes in, her black hair up in a bun.

"Hey we're going out to eat do you want to come?" She asks, plopping down on my bed.

"Sure... Can I get ready first?" I set down the book I was reading on the window ledge, putting my hands in my lap and looking over at my pretty cousin.

"Go ahead," Morgan grins, standing up to leave. I grab her wrist and stop her. "What's up?"

"Why did... you decide to come let me live with you?" I ask. Morgan shrugs.

"Mom suggested since we had an extra room we surprise you for your birthday," She says. I had always received a birthday card and twenty dollars cash for my birthday from them. "And I missed you a lot since you and Liam moved," I smile.

"Well thank you, I like it a lot," I say. Morgan smiles and I let go of her wrist. She leaves the room, closing the door. I quickly stand up. I go to my closet and pull together a quick outfit.

"Hey, is this ok?" I ask, coming out into the living room where Morgan fixes Megan's black dress. They look up and they smile, eyes glistening.

"Woooow!" Megan squeals. "That's perfect for where we're going!"

"Where are we going?" I ask, dropping my iPod into my little clutch, stuffing my small cellphone into my bra.

"This new restaurant that opened next to Helix." Morgan says. "It's really fancy and supposedly Cara Delevingne is going to be there along with a few other celebrities!"

"Really?!" I ask, shocked. "Cara is one of my favorite models!"

"Mine too!" Morgan and Megan say at the same time. Megan turns in her dress then looks back at me. "We're friends with the owner so we're on the guest list." I grin.

"Awesome,"

We head out of the apartment,down the stairs, and into the lobby. Morgan smiles at a few people she must know, and we head outside. It's quite warm today so I hopefully won't freeze in my skirt. We hail a cab, and give them directions. When we arrive, it's like a scene in a movie. Red carpet, limos, paparazzi's, crazy things like that. When we step out a man in a tuxedo approaches us.

"Felix," Megan tells the man. He scans down his list and smiles.

"Right this way, girls," he smiles. I guess Megan and Morgan are well known because as we walk up the carpet, paparazzi are calling out there names. I think it's cool. The bright flashes like a strobe light. They make me think of when Liam and I were at a party once and we thought the strobes made us look glitchy. We head inside and it's like a celebrity house I tell you. Robert Downey Junior walked right past us! A waitress takes us to a table and I about pass out. A table over sits Cara Delevingne. I shake Morgan's arm and she turns. She shakes Megan and we stare at Cara. Cara turns and double takes at us. "

"H-hi?" She asks with a nervous laugh.

"Sorry!" Megan exclaims as we snap out of it.

"We're big fans," Morgan says.

"I used to model for VS," I add. I did use to model for Victoria's Secret. Not anymore though, I quit that job. After I got slammed for being the reason behind the "Jelena" break up I dropped that job.

"That's so cool!" Cara exclaims. "Did you do runway?" I nod.

"I think I did a show with you once, did you do the Bieber walk?" I ask. Cara nods. "Well then I did a show with you!"

"Oh wait... Are you Kat Payne?" Cara asks. Oh my gosh my favorite model knows my name. I nod. She's about to continue when a man in a tux approaches her. "See you girls, my date and I gotta go to the paps," I look up at the guy and choke on my own spit. It's freaking Harry Styles. Harry from One Direction. Which means...

"Hi love!" Harry grins at Cara. He pecks her on the cheek and looks over to me. "Hi there,"

"This is my boyfriend, Harry," Cara introduces. "Later girls!" We wave and the two take off. As soon as they're gone I slam my head on the table.

"Are you OK?" Megan asks, poking me from across the table. I shake my head. "What's wrong?!"

"That was Harry Styles," I say. "From One Direction. That means Liam is here,"

"Well go find him!" Morgan says. "Beat him!"

"No! Don't beat him!" Megan exclaims. "Kill him!" Morgan cheers with this idea.

"No!" I half yell. "I don't want to see him. He left me. I HATE him,"

"I don't care, come on!" Morgan tugs me up. "Megan, you stay here, the waitress is gonna come back soon," Morgan drags me through the restaurant and we find One Direction stuck at the door. They're having their picture taken. Cara comes up beside Harry, but I ignore that. I stare at Liam. He has grown up so much. He's all big and... Looks like dad now. He's laughing at something the one named Niall says, and then he looks up. His eyes scan around and then land on me. Everything seems to move in slow motion. I stare at him and he stares back. His face expressionless. Does he know it's me? Does he? He pats Niall's shoulder, and then begins coming towards me. I grab onto Morgan who steps back as he approaches us.

"Kat?" He asks.

In a split second, I feel my muscles contract, and then Liam staggers to the side holding his jaw.

I just punched my brother in the mouth.
