Starting Over (Being Edited)

Chapter 12 - If Only, Maybe

Sofia's P.O.V

            "Who you texting?" I ask, nudging Lou.

            "Oh...no one." Louis smiles.

            "Yeah, no one. That's why you look like a complete idiot with glazed over eyes staring at 'no one's' texts. Now tell me, who is it?" Louis just shakes his head.

            "Alright, you asked for it." I warn, and jump on him, tackling him off of the couch, and stealing his phone.

            "Hey! Ow give it back! SOOOOOOFFFFFSSSS!" Louis complains.

            "Kayleigh West?" I say as I look at the username. "Kayleigh, as in sister of our friends we're currently going to visit, Kayleigh?" Louis goes all red in the face and snatches his phone from my hands.

            "Yes, that Kayleigh. And I'm only texting about plans."

            "Mmmmmh." I nod. "I'm sure it's just about plans...."

            "Ah, come off it Sofs. See you've banished Zayn from the house. Haven't seen him in ages." Immediately my hands get cold, and my face pale.

            "Hey...Sofs, don't worry. It'll get better. I'm sorry I brought it up." Louis apologizes, pulling me back onto the couch and wrapping his big brotherly arms around me.

            "It's just...It didn't feel right." I sigh. "And if it didn't feel right it wouldn't have been right to start something, right?"

            "That's too many rights, I've lost count." Louis says with a confused look on his face. "But if you felt something that wasn't right, then you did the righ-smart thing. Now come on, we have to leave in half an hour."

            "Ok." I sigh and drag my feet up the stairs. I've been pretty much packed ever since Louis told me about the trip; I've been too excited to do anything else.

            "Sofs!" I hear Kath's voice call from the hallway.

            "In here!" I holler back.

            "Oh hey." Kath smiles. "Listen, I have a question for you...." Kath sits down hesitantly.

            "Fire away." I nod, and sit down beside her.

            "IsitweirdthatI'mnervousaboutbeinghereallalonewithHarry?"

            "Sorry, didn't catch that..." I state.

            "Is...is it weird that I'm nervous about being here with Harry? All alone?"

            "Of course not!" I reply, giving her a hug. "Hell, I'd be nervous if I were you."

            "I, I just don't know anymore." Kath falls face first on my bed and reaches for a pillow. "ARRRRRRRGGGGGGG!" She screams, the pillow muffling the sound.

            "Get up Kath." I smile. "Listen, everything is going to be alright because you and Harry are just getting to know each other. And if it makes you feel better, just ask Emma to come over. It's not like Harry can say no, it's your house too."

            "Alright, thanks Sofs." Kath says, reaching up to give me a hug. "I'm gonna miss youuuuu."

            "Awzies! I'm gonna miss you too!" I laugh.

            "Awzies?" Kath questions. "You're weird. Maybe I won't miss you THAT much."

            "Ha, ha. You're weird too. AND JUST FOR SAYING THAT I WON'T BRING YOU BACK A SOUVENIR!" I cross my arms in front of my chest.
