Washed up & Broken (One Direction Fan Fiction)

Chapter 28

When I wake up, sunlight is blinding my vision and I can hear someone softly singing.

"This is the start of something beautiful... This is the start of something new..." They're singing "This" by Ed Sheeran. I turn around and see Louis hovering over me, the music escaping his lips in a perfect sound. I grin at him and listen to his words. This morning is going nice so far. Once he finishes his song, he presses a kiss to my forehead.

"I made breakfast," he says. "Come come." I feel his strong arms under my legs and back and then he lifts me easily from the bed. I notice my dress is on the floor and I'm wearing a big black sweater and some socks. "If you don't mind, I changed you before I went to sleep." I blush and bury my face in his chest as I realize he saw me in just my underwear.

"That's fine..." I squeak. Louis giggles and sets me down at the table in my kitchen. "What did you make?"

"Omelets, bacon, toast with avocados, and we've got about ten boxes of Pop tarts," Louis lists the items off of his fingers. I notice he's shirtless and his hair is kind of damp. He must have showered before waking me up. I grin at him as he brings two plats over to me. "What do you plan on telling Niall?" I groan and throw my head back at the thought. I rub my hands across my face.

"Just that this is the second time we broke up in a short period of time, and that he was acting strange," I say. "Oh and he cheated on me,"

"Be gentle with him, thought," Louis says. "He gets really emotional." I shrug.

"I know the feeling," I chuckle, shaking my head. There's a brief silence between Louis and I, my head still back, when I hear him giggle. "What's so funny?" I ask, sitting up to look at him. Louis just smiles at me. "What is it Louis?"

"You're just so... Beautiful," He compliments. I can't help but smile back.

"Thank you," I say, blushing. Louis leans back and we carry on with out breakfast. After I eat, I go to the showers and wash myself, and then I get dressed. I head back out and find Louis in the kitchen, leaning on the counter scrolling through his phone. He turns to look at me when he sees me.

"Ready to go?" He asks. I nod my head. "While you were in the shower Liam and Niall came by. They're in here. Follow me." I follow Louis out of the kitchen into the other room and see Liam and Niall seated on the couch watching TV. Liam's face lights up when he sees me, Niall looks depressed when he sees me. Louis and I sit down on the two chairs across from them and smile nicely at the two of them.

"Niall," I begin. He looks up at me, blue eyes hopeful. "We... We aren't going to work out." His head falls and he puts his face in his hands. "It's just because it's the second time we're breaking up, and you cheated on me, I'm sorry,"

"No," Niall looks up, eyes red and puffy, tears falling down his face. "Don't be sorry Kat. It's my fault. I'm so sorry." I shake my head.

"Don't be sorry. Let's just be friends for now, OK?" I suggest. Niall nods. "OK, great! Who's excited for the show tonight!?" Louis,Liam and I cheer. Niall gives a little cheer before sulking again. He looks up at me.

"Just remember I'm in love with you," Niall says. I feel my heart shatter and I swallow the lump in my throat. "Let's go Liam,"

"We're leaving for the venue in ten minutes," Liam says, standing up and pointing at me and Louis. "Be ready,"

"Yes sir!" I exclaim, saluting him. Liam chuckles and then Niall and him leave the room. I pat Louis' thigh and grin at him. "Go get ready."

Soon enough we're all piling into a car to go to tonight's venue. Krysta and I talk about what songs we're going to sing, since we have a list of things we're allowed to and what the band knows to play.

"Everything Has Changed?" Krysta suggests. I shake my head and look more down the list. "How about When You're Gone?"

"Too sad," I say. "We need something fun,"

"Good point." She says.

"What about Here's To Never Growing Up?" I ask.

"YES! Ok there's one song," Krysta says. "Um.... How about we do a happy song and a sad song?"

"OK whatcha looking at?"

Krysta and I decide "Here's To Never Growing Up" by Avril Lavigne and "The Moment I Knew" by Taylor Swift. This should be fun! When we arrive at the concert venue Krysta and I are rushed to sound check. We sing the songs twice before we're taken back to get ready and the boys could do sound check.

"Kat!" A voice calls out. I turn and move out of the security guards way and see Ashton and Josh running at me. I grin at them and duck under the guards arm.

"Hi boys!" I exclaim, running to give them a hug. I hadn't seen them since Harry's accident. "Where's Michael, Calum, and Luke?!"

"No one knows," Ashton shrugs. "But I heard you were singing tonight,"

"Yeah, Krysta and I are," I gesture to Krysta who is standing next to me, the guards patiently waiting a couple feet behind. "Are you guys gonna play for us?" I ask Ashton. He shakes his head.

"One Direction's band is," He says. "So Joshie Poo will be your drummer," Ashton pokes Josh in the side and Josh giggles.

"OTP!" I shout. The two give me a weird look. "Sorry,"

"Anyways, we have to run girls," Josh smiles at us. "Later!" Krysta and I bid Josh and Ashton our goodbyes and head off with the security guards, preparing for a fun night. ____________________________________________
