Washed up & Broken (One Direction Fan Fiction)

Chapter 3

I awkwardly sip my drink as I push through the crowd. I need to make some friends, but I'm not good with social interaction. I get kind of hopeless, so I climb up the stairs to the second floor. Not many people are there, and the air isn't as hot. I disappear into a bathroom and look at myself. I quickly fix my eyeliner, adjust the bandana in my hair, and sigh. I fix the wrinkles in my skirt, and sigh again. I grab my cup, walk out, and smash into someone, the drink going all over the person's chest.

"Oh my gosh, I am sooo sorry!" I exclaim. I begin rubbing the spot and hear a guy's laugh.

"It's OK love," He says. I recognize that voice. I look up and see Louis from One Direction. "Hi Kat,"

"Louis. I- I,uh," I stutter.

"Help me clean this up," Louis grabs my wrist and leads me into the bathroom. He closes the door and I gather paper towels off the counter. This house is like a hotel I tell you. I sponge his tuxedo vest, and go through five towels before the Coke stain is dry with a brown tarnish left on his coat.

"I am so sorry," I say. Louis shrugs and takes off his Tuxedo vest. Leaving him in just a white, button up sleeveless shirt. Boy's got nice muscles I tell you. "What's that tattoo of?" I peer at his left arm, examining the deer on his bicep.

"A deer," Louis laughs. "I don't know why I got it, it looked cooler in my head." He giggles again, before looking up at me. "Care to go dance, Kat?" A grin spreads across my lips and I nod.

"Sure," I smile. Louis offers me his hand, and I take it. It's soft, and firm in mine. His hands are so much bigger than mine. He leads me down the stairs, through the large crowd which I do not like, and to this other door. Louis pulls it open revealing another flight of stairs. I can see bright, flashing lights, and hear loud music, and people calling out. Strobe lights flicker as Louis guides me down the first stair, making him look like a robot as he turns to close the door. He takes my hand in his again, and we clomp down the rest of the stairs. They're playing some upbeat song by male vocalists. No idea who they are.

"Nice song choice," Louis laughs as he turns me to face him.

"Who are they?" I ask, entwining my fingers in his and move him along to the music. Louis laughs again.

"One Direction!" He exclaims. "Harry and Zayn wrote this!"I grin. I never listened to Liam's group because I didn't want to hear his voice or him singing. Those are the same things, but, y'know.

"What's it called?" I ask.

"C'mon, C'mon," Louis answers, twirling me. He puts his face close to mine, his lips brushing my ear."C'mon, c'mon, move a little closer now, c'mon, c'mon ain't no way you're walking out, c'mon c'mon, show me what you're all about," I quickly catch a long to the song since it's half way over. I sing along with him as we sway to the song. I like Louis. Louis is fun and knows how to have a good time.

Halfway through another songs, someone grabs my from Louis and flips me around. I'm staring right at Liam. Who looks very angry.

"What are you doing, Kat?" He asks. I wiggle away from him and press my back into Louis' chest.

"Dancing with Louis," I say over the sound.

"Well c'mon, we're leaving," Liam reaches for me but I move backwards. He gives me a confused look.

"Who do you think you are?" I ask. "You're not my brother anymore." I admit, that was kind of harsh, but oh well. What he did wouldn't matter to anything I could ever say to him. I grab Louis' hand and drag him farther into the rave. We're in the heart of it now, and no one can stop us. As Olly Murs and Flo-Rida come on with "Trouble maker," I grin. This is my favorite song ever.

"Kat, can I tell you something?" Louis asks over the music I'm jumping up and down to. I stop moving and listen to him.

"Yeah, what's up?" I tuck a stray hair from my face up into my bandana and smile at him.

"Since I saw you with Liam in the private room, I really have come to fancy you," Louis grins. I swear, if these lights would stop and be normal he would be blushing like mad. I can see it through the strobes and darkness.

"Aw Louis! I fancy you too!" I return his smile and peck him on the cheek. Louis grins and continues dancing with me, spinning us faster and faster. No one in the world can stop us now. Louis pulls me closer to him, sweaty skin touching in sync with the music. I'm glad I agreed to coming,and finding someone like Megan suggested. I haven't been this happy in a while. Something about Louis just makes me have to smile. Maybe it's the crinkles by his eyes when he full out grins, or his happy, high voice. That's absolutely adorable to me.

After Louis and I dance, he takes me back to the main level and into the back yard where some people hang out by a pool. My vision is dotted and splotchy from the flashing lights, but soon registers normal colors and I can see again. There's loud music out here as well.

"Would you like a drink?" Louis asks. I nod. "Ok, be right back!" Louis pecks me on the forehead, and disappears into the house. Guys' got a nice butt must I say. As I'm turning back around I come face to face with Megan.

"Megan!" I exclaim.

"Hey Kat! I've been looking for you," She smiles. "Found any cuties yet?"

"Yeah, there's this one guy from Liam's band named Louis," I say.Megan wiggles her eyebrows at me.

"Ooh," She grins. "Imagine how mad Liam would get if he was your boyfriend, he would go INSANE!"

"I know right?!" I laugh, thinking of how my brother would react to that. "But I'm not into Louis to annoy Liam. I really like him, he's a sweety and likes dancing,"

"Speaking of, here come's Prince Charming. I turn to see Louis coming back, two drinks in his hand.

"Onnnee Diet Coke," He grins. He looks at Megan. "Whose this?"

"Oh, this is my cousin Meg," I introduce the two and they shake hands.

"I have a friend that was eyeing you earlier," Louis says, after sipping his drink. "Take any interest in Zayn Malik?"

"Oh my gosh he is BEAUTIFUL!" Megan exclaims. "He likes me?"

"Says he lost his breath when he saw you," Louis grins, and nudges her. "Last I saw him he was in the movie room. Third floor , fifth room to the left,"

"Thanks!" Megan smiles, leaving my side to go find Zayn.

"Let's go explore, shall we?" Louis asks, taking my hand. I smile.

"Let's," I say. Louis and I take off through the house, peering in every room. The rest of the night was a blur, but it was the time of my life.
