Washed up & Broken (One Direction Fan Fiction)

Chapter 22

After our visit with Harry, the others head out to go sign some autographs at the hotel and Liam and I go walk around town. We stop in a Star Bucks, get cotton candy frappucinos, and sign some autographs and take some pictures before settling down in a little booth towards the back against the wall.

"Kat I want you to be honest with me," Liam begins, spinning his cup around in his large hands, his brown eyes meeting my blue ones. "Is there something going on between you, Louis, and Niall?" I look down at my hands in my lap, twiddling my thumbs. "Kat please look at me," I look back up and sip my drink.

"Yeah, yes there is," I say. "Louis and Niall say they both love me... And I love Niall back and we're kind of together now but Louis claims he 'loves' me," I make a "there you go" face at Liam and he's really quiet for about ten seconds before speaks back up.

"You're okay with Niall. I will accept that," He says. Relief washes over me.

"Thank you so much Liam it means a lo-"

"I never wanted you with Louis," Liam cuts me off. "No one will ever be good enough for you, Niall is an exception. But Louis? He's not a good guy. Just please, don't go falling in love with the wrong boy," I nod my head and stare at Liam, head spinning with whatever Louis could have done so one of his best friends would say that about him.

After Liam and I walk around, meet some fans, eat some lunch, and go shopping, we head back to the hotel because the boys have an interview in a couple hours. Krysta and I will be left to our own. When the boys leave, Krysta comes knocking on my door demanding we hang out. I cave in and agree even though I wanted to be with Niall right now.

"Dude, guess what?!" She exclaims, bursting into Niall and I's hotel room.

"What?" I ask, grabbing a pillow and laying on my stomach to listen to Krysta's story.

"Liam... He kissed me!" She has excitement in her eyes as she leans forwards to tell me. I'm shocked. I never knew she actually like Liam. I never knew Liam really liked her.

"He did?!" I sit up again and stare at her. Krysta nods her head quickly. "GIVE ME DETAILS WOMAN!" I hit her with the pillow so her usually messy hair gets even more messed up. She glares at me and has an angry look on her face. "TELL ME!"

"IT WAS THE DAY AT THE STRIP MALL AND IT WAS RAINING AND WE GOT LOCKED OUT A SHOP SO HE KISSED ME DON'T AGITATE ME!" Krysta screams. I burst out laughing and fall backwards. "What's so funny?"

"DON'T AGITATE ME!" I mock Krysta and she shakes her head.

"Let's talk about you and Niall!" She exclaims. "How many times have you-" Krysta stops to look around before lowering her voice. "Done the nasty?" -insert brutal five star slap across the face-"I'M GUESSING THAT'S A NO!"

After our violent conversation I decide to go take a walk. Krysta says she doesn't want to go so I leave without her. I haven't been on my own like this for a while. I feel a little naked without security or protection around me. It's just like back in my VS days, I would always have someone by my side for safety. Because I was a rising model,almost more popular than Cara Delevingne herself, but I didn't want that amount of fame. And I couldn't stop it. People would shove others out of the way just to look at me.

I shudder at the thought and take off down the street, looking around at the big city we're in. I have no idea what it's called, but our next stop is in New York City which is pretty cool because I mean, New York City my man. I slide on my sunglasses, pull my thick caramel hair of my shoulders, and begin walking down the street, looking at the people, the graffiti on the buildings, it's kind of interesting.

I'm so caught up in my thoughts I don't even notice what's in front of me and I walk right into someone. I stumble back and look up. I ran into a very large male.

"Oh, excuse me sir!" I grin at him. I'm about to continue my walk past him when the man steps aside to stop me. I step back and press my lips at him. "Right... I'll just go around..." I step the other way and he does it again. "Screw you!" I yell at him. I don't even look for cars and rush into the busy streets, and take off running into a busy crowd. I stop to turn around and feel my knees grow weak when I see him still following me. I grab onto a strangers arm. It's a woman. "You have to help me, some male is following me and I've no idea of who he is,"

"Get lost kid," The man toting her on his arm spits at me. I stop dead in my tracks, then keep walking at a quick pace. I check behind me, he's still following me. I get stuck in a crowd and then I feel him grab me.

"LET GO WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE GET OUT OF HERE!" I scream at him. I punch him in the face and try to move away again.

"K-Kat wait!" He grunts. I stop and turn to peer at him.

"Who are you?" I ask. When he looks up, I want to punch him twice as hard. It's not a crazy stranger, it's not an old friend. It's none of those. It's no one other than my own father. Who walked out on me a few years ago. "D-dad?"

"Sweetie I need to-" he begins when I blow him in the jaw twice, and sprint down the street, hair flying behind me. I'm pretty sure I even loose my bow. I have no idea of where I'm going I just run. For I just saw a face I never EVER wanted to see again.

"Kat hold up!" Someone hooks on to my arm and out of nerves I punch the person in the face. I open my eyes and gasp when I see I punched Zayn in the face. I look and see Harry halfway in the car and staring at me. Liam standing next to a mailbox, eyebrow raised. Zayn steps back and gives me a weird look. "What's your problem?!"

"D-dad!" I cry. "Liam I saw dad!" Liam's jaw drops and he looks at Harry then to me.

"You did?!" He asks. I nod my head. "Where?!"

"Down the street!" I exclaim. "He tried to talk to me so I punched him three times,"

"Is that why you punched me?!" Zayn asks, still horribly offended that I hit him. I nod my head again quickly.

"But he's here! And if he's here, Mom's here!"
