Forgotten memories

Chapter 19

It feels like someone just punched me in the stomach. It's silent in the room as the lads now walk to where Harry is standing to watch the wall. I keep on standing where I am, already knowing who's blood it is and what'd happened. Louis, standing a bit behind the guys, suddenly seems to put the link as he slowly turns around. There's a frown on his face as he looks at me now. He opens his mouth but just before he wants to say something, Niall comes walking in.

Great, just when I thought things couldn't get any worse, God proofed me wrong.

'Ey guys, waddup?' He happily chirps as he walks to the boys, not seeing me standing in the kitchen. His hair is still damp of the shower and he is wearing a red cap with matching sweater and grey sweatpants. I cover my face with my hands, feeling my cheeks turn bright red. This is possibly the worst situation I've ever been in.

'Ey Ni, take a look at this,' I hear Zayn tell him. I remove my hands from my face, but keep on staring at the ground below me, feeling Louis' eyes burning through me.

'What d'you think happened?' Someone mumbles, but I shut out the voices. How am I going to get out of this awkward situation. Suddenly I'm not staring at the ground any more, but at two big feet. I look up and am met by Louis, who's mouth is set in a tight line now as he looks down at me. I fumble with my fingers and try to make myself as small as possible, not feeling comfortable at all.

'Turn around Kate,' He murmurs with demanding tone. I give him a fake smile and square my shoulders slightly.

'Why Lou? What are you talking about?' I reply, hinting that he should stop. He rolls his eyes and sighs.

'No games now Kate, I'm asking you one more time,' He says with slight annoyance. The rest of the lads become silent now as I feel them watching us. I close my eyes for a moment, desperately trying to think of a way out. Just stay confident Kate I speak to myself. I give Louis a deadly look, rise my chin and push past him, on my way to the stairs. Just when I think my plan is actually working, someone grabs my arm and pulls me back. I release a groan as I immediately know who it is.

'Louis let go!' I shout, trying to pull myself loose.

'Told you to turn around,' He growls from behind me. His hands release my arms and I know he's examining the back of my head again. I stand still, knowing that I've lost. The other boys are still staring at us, but I ignore them, mainly because I'll probably loose it when I look Niall in the eyes.. Suddenly Louis looses it and with a shout he kicks against the bin that's standing next to the bar table.

'Lou! What the fuck is going on?' Harry exclaims as he comes rushing over to us. I quickly turn around and back away until I feel the cold wall against my back. I make the mistake to look at Niall, and as I catch his eyes, we stare at each other. It feels like we're the only two people in the room, like nothing else matters for a second.

'I will tell you what's going on!' Louis exclaims as he throws his hands up in the air. He grabs me and I squeal as he holds me firmly between his hands. Niall exclaims an ey, indicating that Louis should be more careful. Louis looks at him for a moment, and Niall wins as Lou releases me again and sighs.

'Guys look at this,' he sighs as he turns me around. I put my hands in front of my face again as tears fill my eyes. I feel extremely exposed with the boys looking at me like that and wait for hell to break loose. It's silent for a moment and the tension is clearly present in the air.

'Oh fuck he didn't,' Zayn mumbles under his breath.

'Who did what?' I hear Harry ask with bewilderment, still not getting it. There's some mumbling and suddenly it's silent. Then hell breaks loose. All kinds of cursing words fly through the air as I hear some of the guys kicking things. Louis, much calmer again, envelopes me in a tight hug as the tears fall down my cheeks of frustration. Why do they always have to interfere in other people's business?! Just keep your nosy nose out of my business!
