Washed up & Broken (One Direction Fan Fiction)

Chapter 24

You should have been there.

You should have walked through the door

with that "Baby, I'm right here smile"

And it would have felt like

A million little shining stars had just aligned.

And I would've been so...

happy.

I've been sitting on my floor sobbing a good hour now. I could hear Louis on the other side of the door still. He hasn't tried to say anything. I guess he must be giving me time to calm down. But I can't calm down. It all happened too freaking fast. I fell in love too fast, we went too fast, so I got my heart broken just as fast. And I know this annoying pain in my chest won't go away. (A/N: She got her stitches out I just didn't put it in lol) It's like there's a mountain sitting on my chest. Sharp and heavy. I feel like I'm suffocating. There's a soft knock on the door before I hear Louis' voice.

"Kat?"

"Go away," I whimper. "You've done enough."

"I'm sorry..." Louis says.

"Sorry doesn't cut it," I stumble through the words, considering the giant lump in my throat is constricting my tongue.

"Kat I really didn't mean for any of this to happen. I didn't mean to kiss you. This force took me over like I had to feel you. I had to touch you."

"Louis I don't care. You made my boyfriend who I loved very much break up with me!" I exclaim, slamming my elbows back so there would be a loud noise to hurt his ear. I hear him grunt and then he speaks up again after a tiny silence.

"I'll do anything to get you two back together." He says. "And I won't stop until you two are even more in love than before." I'm quiet, and then I hear the sound of him standing up. "Because sometimes when you love someone, you have to make a choice. And this is my choice." I'm quiet again, and I slowly pull myself to my feet. I open the door to find Louis leaning against the wall. He opens his arms and I glare at him. He makes a hand gesture for me to go to him, and I give in. Walking into his strong embrace. I start crying again and he pets my hair. "I won't stop, Kat. Because I love you."

***LIAM'S POV***

I turn my head as I hear footsteps coming for our table. Niall is walking quickly back to his seat. We have private seats in a back room of the restaurant, and a waitress comes in every five minutes to make sure we're OK or if we need refills.

"Oh hi Niall, there you a-" I begin when he sits down. I'm cut off by him slamming his head on to the table. We all jump and he goes to do it again when Zayn stops him.

"Niall what are you doing?!" He exclaims, sitting him back in his seat, scooping ice from Niall's drink to put on his head.

"Trying to knock myself into a coma," Niall replies bluntly. I notice his eyes are kind of puffy like he's been crying. "Let me do it,"

"Why would you do that?!" I ask, looking around at the others. Harry has his fork in his mouth, staring at Niall. He slowly pulls it out and leans forwards to listen to Niall. Krysta sits there, gaping.

"Kat cheated on me," He whispers. I sit back, shocked. My sister would cheat on her boyfriend?! That doesn't sound right... "With Louis," Niall adds.

"That doesn't sound like Kat," Krysta and I say at the same time. We exchange glances and then I look to Niall again. "Tell me what happened?" I ask.

"I came back up to get my phone and Louis had her against a wall and he was kissing her and then he was thrown out, I know he came back in... But I shoved her and she shoved me back and we got into this big huge fight and I broke up with her." He says all within one breath.

"How dare you lay your hands on her!" I exclaim. Niall shoots me a glare. "No, that is not alright Niall! Did she try to explain?"

"She did but I didn't want to hear it! She broke my heart!" He throws up his hands in anger.

"Yeah, you broke mine, too." A small Hungarian voice says from across the room. I turn my head and see Kat and Louis standing there. Louis' car keys in his hand. The waitress comes back in and I wave her out. We don't need distractions.

"Kat..." I whisper, standing up and walking over to her. She shakes her head and pushes me aside, walking over to the table. I get nervous when I see that, Kat is known for rage quits.

"You broke mine, too, Niall," She repeats. Niall stands up and comes towards her. He reaches out and she slaps him away. "Don't touch me!" Kat exclaims. "You've done enough."

"Why are you here?" He asks.

"I demand an apology," Kat sasses, crossing her arms and tossing her hair over her shoulders.

"What makes you think I should apologize?" Niall asks, getting up in her face. Both of them have angry looks in their eyes.I can tell this could get bad really fast.

"Louis," Kat turns and looks to Louis who is standing next to me. He has puffy eyes as well. He must have talked some sense into her if they're both here. I know her well enough that she would stay home and cry instead of fixing things. I know Louis well enough that he would fix things.

"It's my fault," Louis begins, stepping forwards. "I kissed her. She didn't mean to kiss me. I did it. I was the one who burst in and kissed her up against a wall. It was me, not her."

"Is this true?" Niall asks Kat.

"Yeah," She nods her head and gives him a look like he was dumb. "But I guess we're broken up, so bye. Now that you're finally done being stupid." Kat turns on her heel and walks towards Louis. "Let's get out of here," He nods and take Kat under his arm. The two begin walking out and I look to Niall. He has tears in his eyes, his face is bright red, and he looks like he's going to either break down sobbing, kill someone, or maybe both. Zayn must see his tensed body and he quickly gathers all of the knives from the table and throws them across the room. Them clattering to the floor. I hear Harry giggle at the seriousness and a smack as Krysta hits him.

"N-Niall..." I begin.

"I've got to fix this," Is all he says. He grabs his items from the table then bursts from the room. I stand there, looking at Zayn, Krysta, and Harry. They all shrugs.

"Leave their drama to themselves," Krysta says, breaking the silence. "Let's eat!"
