Starting Over (Being Edited)

Chapter 14 - SOS! HURRY!

Kath's P.O.V

My phone began to buzz as soon as Harry and I got in from our walk.

            "Who's calling you?" Harry asks.

            "Uh, it's only Sofia, I can call her back." I sigh. "I'm with you right now." Harry wraps his arms around my waist and pulls me closer.

            "Are you sure?' He whispers. I nod and lean in and kiss him like I've never kissed him before.

            "How's that for an answer?' I whisper.

            "Exactly the answer I was looking for." Harry smiles, and leans in to kiss me again.

Sofia's P.O.V

            "PICK UP THE PHONE, KATH!" I hiss through my teeth. I'm dead bored and there is nothing else to do on this goddamn train.

            "Just be quiet." Lou groans, whacking my arm.

            "But I'm so bored...." I complain. I just want to be at the West's house, with Craig, Kaylee, Kev and Jeff.

            "Then go to sleep. Like every other normal person on this train." Louis growls. "Or at the very least...shut up."

            "Whatever." I huff, pulling out my phone again. "Maybe I'll give Emma a call." I dial her number and wait.

            "'Ello?" An Irish accent says into the phone.

            "Oh, hey Niall." I laugh. "Is Emma..uh..there?"

            "Yup, of course she is." Niall murmurs. "Em, it's Sofia." I hear the phone being passed around and finally I hear Emma's adorable Canadian accent.

            "Hey Sofs! How's the uh, train ride?"

            "As. Boring. As. Hell. How was your date with Nialler?" I giggle.  

            "For the last time, it was not a date. We just hung around the neighborhood for a bit and talked. It was fun."

            "Ok, if that's what you kids call dates now these days."

            "Oh just shut up." Emma laughs, "So how much longer are you on the train?"

            "I think about an hour. Thank goodness we're almost there. I am dying a slow and painful death." I whine.

            "Yeah, I'm pretty sure everyone else is too, if they're on the same train as you."

            "Ha, ha. So where's Kath at? Do you know? She hasn't been answering my calls."

            "Not exactly sure...we're at Niall's right now, and I haven't been over to your place all day. I'm pretty sure she went out with Harry though..."

            "All day?"

            "Yeah...I think so." Emma goes quiet.

            "Are you still planning on staying over there?"

            "I want to, 'cause it be a lot of fun hanging out with Kath and stuff, but I don't want to go back tonight and be, like, the annoying third wheel, you know?"

            "So whatcha going to do?"

            "Probably go home."

            "Or you could stay at Niall's..." I suggest in a sing song voice, that I know pisses Emma off.

            "Or not."

            "Pretty much meaning that you were planning on staying at Niall's and don't want to admit it to me, because that would mean that I was right, and that would just bug the shit out of you."

            "No. I was not planning on staying at Niall's tonight." In the background I hear Niall speak up.

            "Ouch, love. Like that's not offensive."

            "Ha ha, keep calm Niall." Emma says, not speaking directly into the phone.

            "Uh hello?!? I'm still on the line in a boring train, please continue to talk to me and not make out with your boyfriend!"

            "For god's sake, Sofia! He is not my boyfriend!"

            "But you want him to be." I smile, knowing that they will eventually get together.

            "No, I actually don't Sofia. Now if you'll excuse me, my phone's going to run out of batteries so I'll call you tomorrow." The phone clicks off and once again I'm left alone, and bored.

            "Who to talk to...who to talk to..." I mumble to myself. I pull my phone out again and check my texts.

            (0) new messages

            "ARG! This is so boring! There's nothing to...." I start to say when my phone bleeps, and I check Twitter.

@kayleighwest: trains can never come fast enough

@louis_tomlinson: almost there! can't wait to be off this train, eh @sofiatommo?

@sofiatommo: @kayleighwest @louis_tomlinson COULD NOT AGREE MORE

            "All passengers, the train will be arriving at High Claire Station in twenty-five minutes, twenty-five minutes; we will be arriving at High Claire Station." The intercom echoes throughout the silent train.

Zayn's P.O.V

            "Hi this is Rachel! Make sure you leave a message, or I won't call you back!" The dial tone goes and I'm unsure of what to say.

            "Hey uh, Rachel? It's me, Zayn. I...uh...I...um...I don't know exactly what to say, but if you could call me back....I'd really....I'd love it....I just need to talk to you. Kay, bye." I hang up and continue walking down the road. I really did like Rachel, and I did want to talk to her again. If we could forget the bad stuff, then maybe we could go back to being the way we were. My phone buzzed, and my heart skipped a beat. Rachel couldn't be calling me back already, could she? I slid the keyboard open and opened the message. It was from Sofia.

            "hey zayn...just wanted to say hello!"

I sighed and stuffed my phone back inside my coat pocket. I was not going to talk to Sofia. I might later, but right now, she was the last person I wanted to talk to.

Emma's P.O.V

            "What was that all about?" Niall asks, as he comes and sits beside me, placing the bowl of snacks on the table.

            "Ah, nothing." I sigh as I put my phone down. "You ready to lose?"

            "What are you talking about?" He laughs, grabbing the other controller. "It's you who's going to lose."

            "In your dreams, Irish boy."

            "Oh, it's on Canada." We're about to start playing my phone vibrates, causing me to put down the controller, and allowing Niall to stuff his face with food.

            "Shit." I gasp. It's from Kath.

                        "SOS! HURRY!"
