Broken

Chapter 21

Kaitlin's POV


I slid off Niall's back. It felt wrong after I looked at Harry. I don't know why he gave me that look, but I knew he didn't like it.
"Oh, shit. I forgot my lunch at home," Lauren whined.
"Ill drive you," Harry said quickly.
"Oh my gosh thank you! We'll be back guys!" Lauren said before skipping off with Harry. I could already tell something was up. Lauren was never this preppy in the morning. Nor would she have driven all the way back home just for her lunch. She rarely ever even ate her lunch. Not to me mention Harry replied almost before she was even finished. I glanced back at them and my eyes met Harry's. I darted my eyes from his. Why can't I look at him for more than five seconds without being caught?
"Kaitlin?" Niall asked.
"Hmm?" I mumbled, looking back up at him.
"Did you miss everything we just said?" Zayn asked, laughing.
I nodded, a light smirk playing on my lips. Louis chuckled at me.
"I said are you coming to the party this weekend," Niall repeated.
"Oh!" I said, trying to act like I cared "I'm not sure yet. Ill let you know,"
Niall grins at me before turning back to his friends. My mind immediately wondered again. Lauren had even said that Harry was going to ask me out today, and to wear something nice. Now, don't get me wrong, I wasn't dressing up. I was just wearing a scarf, which I normally don't wear, and different makeup. I just wanted to try something different. that's what I told myself anyways. It wasn't very convincing because every part of me knew that was a lie and it was for Harry. Harry, the boy that pushed his way into my life that I can't seem to get out.







"Hi," Harry's all too familiar, deep voice said.
I looked up, surprised by his presence. "Hi," I said.
"Um, can we, maybe, talk?" He asked.
I felt a million emotions were let out inside of me. Was it bad? Does he hate me? Do I look bad? Am I embarrassing?
"Sure," I encouraged.
"Okay," he paused "so, you remember what happened the last time we went out on our 'date',"
He used air quotes around date. I wonder if he actually thought I could forget. I just nodded, I didn't trust my voice because of my eagerness.
"Well, I kind of just wanted to, um, apologize for the whole thing and maybe take you out again. If you'd like," he said, adding the last part quickly.
I looked up at him. He looked down at me with hopeful eyes. He looked vulnerable. That was probably one of the nicest things he's said to me, even though he was asking me out and not actually talking to me. We stopped walking because we were at our lockers. I turned and smiled at him.
"I would love to," I said.
The smile that grew on his face was better than anything I've seen this year, possibly my whole life. And it hit me that I had fallen in love with that smile.


A/N hi! Sorry, these last two chapters are really short. So, I double updated. Two small are as good as one, no? Btw, I did NOT mean Kaitlin fell in love with Harry, I literally meant his smile. I just wanted to clear that up. Thanks. Ily all (:
