Only Now Exists (One Direction Fanfiction)

Chapter 12

Kate's P.O.V.

I look at my alarm clock. 2:00 am it reads. I haven't been able to sleep at all. I was tired once Stephanie and I's movie night was over but then I started thinking. And thinking leads to over thinking. Over thinking leads to worrying. And worrying? Well it leads to lack of sleep. I was thinking about Sawyer. About my feelings for him. I was so close to completely locking my feelings for Sawyer away and getting over him, but once I saw his face again it was like a herd of wildebeests erupted in my heart.

I know that Sawyer probably dosn't feel for me anymore but there is that one speck of hope in me that believes he does. Then again it's been a year and a lot can happen over a period of time that long. He could have a girlfriend for all I know! Heck, he could even be married! 

I groan at my thoughts and turn over on my stomach looking out my window. The city lights shined through my window along with the full moon illuminating my bedroom. I watched the cars drive to their destination. Then out of now where my mind wonders to Louis. 

I have no idea where my feelings for Louis lay. I mean I just met the guy and I am attracted to him...physically. Emotionally not so much. He is a total asshole and just makes my blood boil. Just thinking about him makes me angry. Although he acts like a total dick, there might be a side to him that I have yet to see. A side that not many people get to experience and appreciate.

I could ask his friends about him, but then again that could be a little too straight forward considering the fact that we only hung out once. My feelings for Louis, at the moment, were un--

My thoughts were interrupted with the sound of a door closing. What the hell?

I get out of bed and shake out my thoughts so I can focus on the more important task. Once I open the door I notice the eerie silence. That's strange, I usually hear Stephanie's soft snoring but not this time. I stalk to her bedroom door and press my ear against it trying to gather any sort of noise that she's in there. After a minute or two I hear nothing and twist the door knob while applying pressure and pushing the door open.

I am faced with an empty bed and an empty bedroom. Where is she? I turn the light on and go to shake the sheets as if her body would fall out of them only to be rewarded with nothing. I huffed and walked out of her room and headed towards the living room. I enter and am faced with another empty room. Looking around I don't see any sign of her.

Now I'm beginning to worry. She usually doesn't just up and leave in the middle of the night, especially without telling me! She even informs me if she's going to the bathroom!

I run to my room and grab my cellphone. I frantically dial her number while pacing back and forth in the hallway. I hear a vibrating sound from her room and realize she left it here.

Wait! What if she didn't leave? What if she was kidnapped?! But how could I have not heard someone enter? Freaking out I start to dial 911. Before I could hit "call" I stop to think. She might've just gone out for some fresh air or something. She probably couldn't sleep either. 

I frown as I realize that would be ridiculous considering we have a balcony. I start to panic and begin to think where she could be before calling. 

The boys!

I run across the hall and bang on the door. I wait impatiently as I hear someone groan and shuffle towards the door. "C'mon c'mon!" I mumble.

The door opens to reveal a shirtless Zayn. He squints at the sudden light from the hall. Once his eyes adjust he looks at me confused. "Um, hi?" he says tilting his head. "Hey Zayn I really need your help!" I exclaim.
