Over Again

Chapter 38

Krys's POV

"Well that wasn't what I was expecting," he said as we walked out the house. I rolled my eyes as I tried to walk as fast as possible in these damn heels.

"Well what were you expecting, Louis? They weren't going to hug me and have a nice family dinner together!" I snapped.

"Could you just slow down." He grabbed my wrist to keep me from running off. I stumble a little, but I caught myself before I could fall.

"What?" I avoid looking at his eyes. I know he is going to say something to comfort me, but I'm really not in the mood. I just want to get as far away from this house as possible.

"You can't run away from this forever." I roll my eyes, as if I haven't heard that before. "Will you just look at me?" He holds my face in his hands causing me to look up at him. "They just need time."

Ha! I couldn't help but laugh sarcastically. They can have all the time in the world and still hate me.

"I'm serious. Time can heal everything." I tried to smile but I wasn't too convincing. We walked over to the curb and sat down as we waited for a cab.

"Thanks for coming today, even though it was awful." I squeezed his hand.

"It wasn't awful..." I gave him a look and he started laughing. "Yeah it was pretty bad. But I would go with you anytime." I hugged his arm and hid my face in his blazer.

"Krystal!" I heard the clicking of heels and quickly got up. I'm so done with all this. I turned away from the direction she was coming from. Tears were forming in my eyes once again. "Why did you leave like that?"

"Ha! Really, mom? Why did I leave? Are you really asking me this?" She placed a hand on my shoulder and the tears began to fall. I shook her hand off me and try my best not to fall on the ground in tears. I look up to Louis, "its okay," he mouths.

Our cab pulled up to the curb and I quickly grabbed my purse from the ground. "I-I'm sorry, mother, but I'm done," I said as a closed the cab door. I caught a glance of her mascara smeared face and guilt flashed inside me.

I looked down at my feet as Louis told the cab driver where to go. I gripped the seat beneath me tightly, trying to hold in my emotions. At least my tears had stopped.

"Are you okay?"

"Yeah, I'm fine. I just want to go home now." He nodded not pushing me any further. I couldn’t even stare out the window because I was too scared to see that house again.

Aria's POV

I don't know what he had in mind, but I followed him anyways. It was getting dark now. Where are we going?

"I think it's this way," Harry said scratching the back of his head.

"So you think?" I couldn't help but laugh. "So we are lost and it's getting dark." I probably should have been a little more worried but I just find this situation amusing.

"I could have sworn it was this way..."

"What were you trying to find anyways?"

"The Starbucks, where we met." I brought my palm to my forehead and shook my head. We are nowhere near that Starbucks.

"That was very sweet, but if you would have told me where you wanted to go in the first place we wouldn't have been lost." I laughed and sat down at bus bench. "You do realize we started off in the opposite direction."
