Broken

Chapter 36

Kaitlin's POV

I sighed as Chase wrapped his arm around my back comfortably.

"I want to see you do that," he says, meaning the cheerleaders in front of me.

I scrunch up me nose and shake my head. I didn't trust these cheerleaders. They were just high school cheerleaders. Some of them were on my team, but I wasn't sure if their was enough. I wasn't in the mood to count, either.

Lauren was right about Harry. She knew she was, because she was warning me about herself. The only logical explanation was that they were drunk. Which could have happened, but either way, I was mad at both of them.

I spun around on the small rock when I heard a familiar voice.

"Kaitlin," he sang for the second time today.

"Niall," I answered.

I stood up and walked over to him. I was curios to see what he wanted.

"Can you do that?" Niall asked.

They were doing an extension twist cradle. Of course I could do that. I nodded and he grinned at me.

"I want to see it," he says.

I sigh before going on my tippy toes to look for my teammates.

"Kaitlynn," I call.

She looks up and I motion for her to come over to me.

"Who else is on our team?" I ask.

She purses her lips and looks around like I was. Her eyes lit up as she spots someone.

"There's Lex. Maya is somewhere over he- there she is! Why?" She asks.

"Niall and Chase want to see me do a twist cradle from an extension," I say.

"Can I base?" She jumps up, squeezing my arm.

I laugh, pushing her arm away. I nod and she skips off, probably to find Lex and Maya.

"Kaitlin," Chase calls.

"Hmm?" I look over at him, him being only a few steps away still on the rock.

"Are you gonna do it?" He asks.

"I guess," I say.

He smiles at me and watches the cheerleaders do simple stunts. I was scared. What if they dropped me? What if I messed up? I shook the thoughts out of my head. I wouldn't mess up. They won't mess up.

Kaitlynn pushes the other cheerleaders out of the way and pulls Lex, Maya, and herself into their positions. She grins at me and motions for me to come over. I turn to Niall and smirk.

"Watch and learn my friend," I say.

He grins back and I skip over to them.

"How do you want to do it?" Lex asks.

"Can we just do two eight counts with an extension cradle?" I ask.

That was the quickest way to do it, and I wasn't giddy to stay up for long.

"On ones?" Maya asks.

I nod and get in my spot. I glance up and I saw Niall and Chase watching me, as well as everyone else. I put my head down so I'm not distracted.

"Ready?" Lex asked, grabbing my hips.

I nod and grip their shoulders. I hear them all whisper their counts. As I was supposed to I jump in on one, and push into my extension on five. I keep my arms tight to my arms, looking on the roof. If I look down or at the people watching me, I fall. This time, I wished I would have looked down and risked falling. My eyes met a familiar figure I didn't really want to see right now.

Harry sat in his window watching me. It was dark, but it looked like he was crying. It the few seconds our eyes met, I felt an indescribable rage come over me. As they pushed my feet up I shot up, higher than I usually go. I twisted at least three time before I landed tightly in their arms. They pushed me to stand up and I slapped my legs out of habit and let my shoulders slump as I walked away.

I grin at Niall as he claps slowly. I next to him again and Chase smiles up at me. He pokes my side and I squeal, scooting away.

"I knew you could do it. You were better than all the other cheerleaders," Chase says, chuckling.

"I see through your façade. You got scared at the top," Niall says, coming into the conversation.

"I did not," remembering what I saw.

All though to me it felt like I watched Harry for an hour, to everyone else it was still the four seconds it was supposed to be between me being up and down. It might not have even been Harry.

I realized that I shouldn't care. The last time I got mad over Harry I regretted it which was only a couple hours ago. I shook it off and decided that whatever excuse Harry had for it was good enough and to just have fun tonight.
