Competition- X Factor 2016

Chapter 42

Katie's POV

Thursday

I opened the front door and dragged my suitcase inside. Yep, I've come back. I walked upstairs and opened the door to my room. Inside the room sat Emily and Gifty. Excitement filled their faces as they saw me. Before I could take enough steps inside, they had already attacked me in a hug.

"You're back!!" Emily said.

"Yea, I've been thinking through things a lot and I've got some things to do as well. I know they're the right things as well" I said with a smile on my face. I spent half an hour unpacking my things and walked over to Matt and Ryan's room. I knocked and heard Ryan telling me to come in. I swung open the door and the two boys were laid on their beds on their phones. Ryan looked up first.

"Katie!"

This made Matt turn and look at me. A huge smile grew upon his face at the sight of me. He stood up and pulled me into a tight hug.

"Can I have a word with you, in private?" I asked. Ryan took this as a cue to leave. Once the door was closed I sat on matts bed and he sat down beside me.

"I stayed at freddy's for two nights in his guest bedroom...I needed to clear my head." I told him, he nodded.

"I'm meeting up with him in about two hours" he chuckled making me smile.

"I opened up to freddy about everything and he's given me some good advice. I spent the last two nights thinking about everything and I literally mean everything. I've made some decisions and you may not think it but they are for the best and that's a promise. Remember the first time we met? When I was really down about Caitlyn and Christian getting on so you told me to dance with you? I told you I couldn't dance and you said you couldn't either so you started dancing stupidly, making me feel better. That's when I knew what a great friend you were going to be. Matt, you have some great potential with your voice. I know as a fact you will be in the final of the X factor, even if you wasn't, you already have a career in singing set ahead of you. Right now, I don't want to be the person to get in the way of that with everything which is going on in my life. My decisions I will be making may not seem right in your eyes but they will feel right in mine. I don't want anymore drama anymore Matt and I feel that at the moment all my life ever is, is drama. You know I love you...but I just want to be friends. I want you to be that friend who will listen to me and understand me without judging me. I know you won't try to make serious things into a joke as well, I trust you. I don't think you're ready for a relationship yet either, not after the heart break you recently had. Because of all the stress on the show and the drama with Roman I think you rushed our relationship and I've realised I just don't want that with you right now. I just want you to be my best friend" I told him gently. He looked down and nodded.

"Yea...it's fine" he assured me. I slightly smiled.

"No awkwardness?" I asked.

"No awkwardness" he laughed. I pulled him into a tight hug and thanked him.

"I'll catch up with you later...I've got some other things to do. Have a good time with freddy" I told him before leaving his room.

I walked downstairs and into the kitchen but jumped at the sound of a scream. I noticed Jordan was the one who screamed.

"What was that for?!" I asked laughing.

"You're alive!" He joked pulling me into a hug. I laughed and hugged back.

Yep, he's definitely a joker. I hugged Kieran and saw Lauren was out in the garden.

"Lauren...can I talk to you please?" I asked her. She nodded and led me inside, we walked up to her room she shared with the rest of her band mates and honey G.

"Look, I know we haven't started off on the right foot. You had feelings for Matt and I understood that and then you were into Roman. But to be honest, I was jealous of you and Roman. The way he defended you and stuck up for you...I was jealous. You're stunning Lauren, any guy would chose you over a girl like me any day...I broke up with Matt. I've realised I just want to be friends at the moment. Being away from the house for two nights gave me enough time to think things through and I've made some decisions that some people might not necessarily understand but I know that they will work out eventually. I want to say I'm sorry for the way we started off and I hope we can be friends" I told her.

"I'm sorry with the way I was with you. If anything I was jealous at how you could have two boys liking you, but in all fairness neither of them are my type. We can definitely be friends" she smiled. I smiled back at her and we hugged it out.

We walked downstairs and I saw Roman in the kitchen with the five past midnight boys.

"I didn't think I would see you today, I'm glad I am. Can I talk to you?" I asked. He looked at the boys and they all smirked at him. He nodded and followed me up to my room. We walked inside and Gifty and Emily were still there. I gave them a look and they immediately rushed out. Roman and I both sat on my bed and I spoke up.

"I've thought about things a lot. I don't want anymore drama in this house. I've made some decisions that I know will work, some people might not necessarily understand them but I know they will be for the best. I've broken up with Matt and made up with Lauren. Matt and I are just friends and I'm really happy about that.
Roman, I took a pregnancy test."

He immediately stiffened up at this sentence.

"Don't worry it's negative" I laughed and I saw a wave of relief wash over him, just like it was with me.

"But that night we...you know...all I remember is staring in your eyes and seeing something I never saw before. You can deny it if you want but I saw love. The way you looked at me was the way Prince Charming looked at Cinderella and the way Justin looked at Selena. I've always wanted it. I told myself I didn't love you. But after seeing you with Lauren I've noticed that's far from the truth" I said.

"I'm not gonna lie by denying it. From the moment I met you in that hotel room at boot camp I knew you were the one. You telling me how sonny was on your date pissed me off, not because he got a date with you but because of the way he treated you. You're stunning, Katie. Any guy would be lucky to have you and lately I keep telling myself it will never be me." He explained.

"But I feel the same..." I told him.

"But you feel the same" he smiled.

"But we have to take things ssslllooowwww" I said dragging out the last word.

He groaned but laughed.

"Again? We've already done that once" he laughed. I shrugged.

"Sozzy, that's the way it has to be" I laughed pulling him into a hug. He wrapped his arms around my waist. I made eye contact with him, for a moment I thought he was going to kiss me but instead he kissed my head.

"You wanted to take things slow" he laughed.

A/N: yep you hate me.

Can I say something? This book was originally going to be a fanfic for Roman kemp but many people were hating it and wanted it to be Matt. So I changed it, but because of that everything I had in mind had to change. I didn't know what to do anymore! So, I've gone back to my original idea but there are some changed for you all. I shouldn't give a spoiler but Matt and Katie to get back together and stay together, I promise. Just please be patient and give ideas out to me.

Comment your ideas if you ever have any but please do not hate mine. I love how active you guys are and I really wouldn't want you to hate me. I hope you all understand.

I have some questions, please answer them.

1. Should Christian be in the story more? If so, how?
2. What would you do if the magcon boys (Nash and Hayes friends) appeared?
3. Opinions on Roman and Katie?
