Washed up & Broken (One Direction Fan Fiction)

Chapter 20

Louis takes me a good distance away from Niall and Zayn and no others are in sight. We're walking around the backside of the buildings when he suddenly slams me against a wall and kisses me. I squirm away from him and shove him backwards.

"Who do you think you are?!"I yell, backing away from him. "You can't just do that! Especially when you have Eleanor!"

"Please listen to me, Kat," Louis tries to come closer to me but I back up. "Kat please!"

"No Louis you're a jerk! A self conceited jerk!" I exclaim, about to turn on my heel. When I do, I begin quickly walking away. Thunder crackles in the distance and I notice it's very gray outside.

"Kat! Please!" I hear Louis call. I keep walking. "Kat! Kat! I'm in love with you!"

**KRYSTA'S POV**

Liam grins down at me and I feel his fingers creep into mine. I can't help but blush as we swing our hands back and fourth as we walk down the strip mall.

"Want to go in here?" Liam asks, pointing to the taffy shop. "It smells good."

"Sure let's go!" I smile. As we walk into the shop, the man making the taffy yells a greeting at us and flings freshly made taffy at us. I giggle as I unwrap the blueberry scented food. I plop it on my tongue and chew it up, trying my hardest not to get it stuck to my teeth. Liam and I grab a bag, and fill ours up with a variety of the treats. I know Kat and Niall will probably attack us for it since they're both hopping on that food vibe.As Liam and I step back into the streets, soft raindrops kiss my face. Thunder cracks and lightning lights up the sky. People begin scampering around and hopping into shops.

"Let's find a clothing store," I say. "Kat does need more clothes."

"OK," Liam agrees. We run down the street and find a place called "Tiki's Clothing." Liam tugs on the door but it doesn't open. The rain picks up and we're getting soaked by the second. I sure hope the others get inside alright. "It's locked." He shouts over the sound of the rain and the thunder.

"Well that sure sucks," I say. Liam grins at me, and smiles. He has a nice smile. Even when rain is running down his face and his brown hair which is usually spiked up is plastered to his forehead in wet strands. He begins leaning in. Is he going to kiss me?! I feel my heartbeat speed up as I lean in as well. I feel his soft lips press to mine and I smile, kissing back.

"Krysta, you're amazing," Liam smiles.

"You're amazing, Mr.Payne." I grin back and ruffle his hair. Well that was perfect.

**BACK TO KAT'S POV***

"Excuse me?" I ask, rain soaking my clothes as I turn to face Louis again. "You're in love with me? What about Eleanor? Huh? Yeah, I know about her."

"She's just a friend, Kat. I love you! Only you! Please listen to me!" Louis begs.

"You should have been there." Is all say, before running through the rain. I need to find Niall. I feel and impact on my body and next thing I know I'm on top of someone. Louis. He tackled me. I get away from him and kick him in the ... Male soft spot.

"Kat I love you!" Louis yells. I shake my head and then I hear people yelling.

"Hey! What's going on here?!" I turn and see Niall and Zayn running at us. I can't help but smile and feel more relaxed. Niall scoops me up in his arms and turns to Louis, holding me to his chest. "What were you doing to her?!"

"I-I was-" Louis begins, standing up.

"WHAT WERE YOU DOING TO HER?!" Niall screams. He's quite intimidating when he's angry. Louis runs his fingers across his forehead to get his fringe off his head.

"I love her! More than you ever could!" Louis yells back. "She loves me!"

"She does not!" Niall yells. "Come on Kat, we're leaving." I sniffle and wipe my eyes. "K-Kat?! Are y-you crying?!" I nod my head. "Did he hurt you?!" I shake my head back and fourth. "What is it then?!"

"Nothing my stitches hurt," I say. And that's the truth. Louis snagged them pretty good. Niall pulls me away, and I hear Zayn trailing after us. Niall and I are safe inside a shop when I breakdown in his chest. "I'm tearing your band apart," I try to cry quietly because I don't want people to notice us.

"You are not, Louis is just being a douche," Niall giggles. "If anything, you've made us stronger. You're an amazing girl. You don't need to be getting upset. Just ignore him, that's all princess,"

"Can we go home?" I ask. "I'm tired, and the Doctor back in the first hospital says I need to get my stitches removed soon."

"Sure. You can go home and rest and when we go and visit Harry tonight we can talk to some doctors and see if they can be removed," Niall kisses my temple. "Zayn?"

"Yeah man?" Zayn asks from behind him, popping out from looking at some Penny boards.

"I'm going to take Kat back to the hotel. Let the other two know if you see them,OK?" I feel Niall take my hand and I watch Zayn nod. He leads me into the rain and he hails a taxi cab back to the hotel. When we get up to the room, he gives me one of his shirts to wear again, dries my hair with a towel for me, and tucks me into the bed we shared last night. "Sleep well, Ok? I'll wake you when we're getting ready to leave," I nod my head and snuggle into the pillow. I feel Niall's lips on my head, and I soon fall asleep._ _____________________________________________________
