Chapter 12

Kate's POV

I laid staring at the clock. The ticking sound starting to become irritating for me. "tick tick tick tick" was the only thing I could hear for at least half an hour.

"Kate, dear" My mother called. i had no reply. my body was as stiff as a board. "Hun, you're going to be late. Niall's waiting at the coffee shop by now" she leaned on the door entrance.

I never told her about the break'up. Mainly because I knew how much he liked him, and I knew she would somehow blame it on me, because she always does.

"I'm going" i sat my body upright, taking a lot more effort than I had hoped for.

"Oh and one more thing" she came back through the doors. I looked up at her, considering I was still sitting. "Have you seen the media lately? They are saying awful things. They're saying you guys aren't together anymore" Her voice sounds so sarcastic, but her words left a trace of worry. Eyes not making contact with mine. "You know if i could I would-" She started her rant.

"Mom!" I yell before she gets angry. She apologizes and leaves the room, expecting me to be right behind her.

My Mum was always questioning why I haven't been seeing Niall, and why he hasnt been over, I just came up with the simple excuses like: hes busy with the our coming up, or Niall comes over when you're at work, or everytime I go to see my olds friends I haven't been able to see because of the media attention or when I go to the 5SOS house I just say that I'm going to see Niall.

I grab my keys and phone, like always, and exit the house. Nothing been left but the door slamming echoing throughout the house. I didn't say goodbye to anyone, just left.

Throughout the drive, I have been spotted, and I wasn't stupid, I knew people were following me, I just didn't care. As soon as I opened the door, 10 girls were screaming for an autograph. Usually it had been more. I guess when people think you've broken up, they stop caring. I leave them with a short wave.

My heels brush the wooded floors, creating a loud sound, causing everyone to avert their heads. I scanned the area, hoping to find a blonde boy, with nothing but a smile. The one that I thought he was. My eyes stop and look back, I found what I had been looking for, just not the one I've seen before.
