Starting Over (Being Edited)

Chapter 23 - Those Haunting Memories

Sofia's P.O.V

            "Sofia, you'll be glad to hear you came in time, sometimes girls wait too long, and things get complicated." Dr. Greyson said smiling.

            "I was worried I'd be too late."

            "No, not at all dear. Now listen, this is a serious matter, and we need to know if you are in fact serious about this. Once started, there is no turning back, I'm afraid. I don't want this to be something you regret." She says, her mouth starting to frown.

            "No, I understand. I need to do this, it's for the best." I reassure myself.

            "If you're sure."

            "I'm positive."

            "All right then Sofia, let's begin."

Louis' P.O.V

            "Seriously, Kayleigh?" I ask, hoping I can convince her to stay.

            "Yes Lou. I need to go home. I don't want to, but I have to go back to my family, it's where I belong." Kayleigh sighs. "And Kevin will be coming too."

            "When did you decide this?"

            "Last night." Kayleigh looks as though she were about to cry. "Trust me Louis, I don't want to do this either."

            "When does your train leave?" I ask, staring deep into her eyes.

            "Tonight." She whispers, not looking at me.

            "TONIGHT?!? We can't even have one last night together?"

            "I'm sorry, but this was the cheapest trip, and I don't have a job right now, and..."                     

            "I get it..." I sigh, "I wouldn't want to be away from me either!" I joke, trying to lighten the mood.

            "Ha! Let's just, not talk about it. Why don't we go out for coffee or something?" Kayleigh suggests.  I grab her hand and pull her out the door.

            "Whatever you want, love." I smile, kissing her on the cheek as we walk down the road.

            "Hmmm, whatever I want? That could be kind of dangerous there Lou." Kayleigh teases.

            "Dangerous? Don't tempt me babe." I whisper, pulling her closer to me.

            "Tempt you? How could I do that?" Kayleigh grins, biting her lip seductively.  I moan, and start kissing her neck.

            "Louis...I thought we were going out for coffee?"

            "This is so much better."

Kath's P.O.V

I wake up at noon with a killer headache. It isn't my fault I didn't really sleep last night, its Harry's. I slowly crawl out of bed, and stagger to the bathroom.

            "Shit, I look horrible." I say to myself as I stare into the mirror, before I start splashing water on myself. So many things have been happening lately, and I just don't know how to deal with them.  I gaze back at the mirror, locking eyes with the weary looking reflection. I haven't felt, or looked, this way since a long time ago...

*FLASH BACK*

            "Kay, pass me another bottle." Logan grunts, not moving an inch.  I tighten my grip on yet another drink, hesitating to give it to him.
