You can run, but you can't hide

Chapter 22

“Blake, Cait you guys better wake up and get ready. It’s almost 5.” Blake’s sister woke us

“How long have we been asleep for? Oh well, I’m going to take a quick shower. The bedroom’s all yours for the moment.” Blake walked into the bathroom.

I took out my dress from my bag and put it on in front of the mirror. It was strapless with flowers and vines on it. I put my hair up in a bun with curly bits coming out. I wore sparking earrings with a matching necklace. I sprayed myself with perfume and put on my black heels. I sat on the bed staring at my phone vibrating in my hand

Louis Tomlinson Calling...                              Accept O                                                              Decline X

I let it ring out.

“Hey are you almost ready?” Blake came out of the bathroom buttoning up his shirt

“Yeah, Ready.” I replied

The car trip was quiet but Jake only lived 5 minutes away. When we got there Blake helped me out of the car and walked me inside. He was such a gentlemen. Everyone was there and they were all rushing up to me asking about Louis and Harry and the boys. It was overwhelming. There was loud music, screaming teenagers, strobe lights and before I knew it, Lauren was dragging me into another room.

“What is wrong with you?” She asked angrily

“Nothing, and defiantly none of your business.” I snapped

“Caitlin, he loves yo...”

“He didn’t love me enough to tell me the truth.” I interrupted. A tear fell down my face. Lauren gave me a hug. “I don’t get it. What have I done wrong.”

“Nothing, it’s his loss. You did the right thing.” She tried to comfort me though it didn’t work because I knew she thought I over reacted. I walked away to the rest of the party. I just couldn’t seem to manage to have a regular conversation with someone that didn’t bring up One Direction.

I walked around the corner of the house hoping I could just sit alone but my luck, Blake was standing there.

“Hey what are you doing over here?” He asked me

“What about you?” I questioned

“Just thinking” He replied looking out to the forest beside the house

“So now can we talk about stuff?” He half smiled

“Why do you want to know so badly?” I laughed annoyed

“Because it’s bothering you. Its Harry isn’t it? Caitlin you knew this was going to happen. I mean you really didn’t think it would be a perfect relationship did you?”

“Your right. Why didn’t I think it was going to end up like this” I looked down at the ground

“If you ever met me, you know I’ve got your back. You know that right?” He looked at me and slowly leaned in to kiss me. Our heads slowly touched as his wrapped his arms around me waist, my hands on his chest as Brooke interrupted.

“Oh hey guys, I’m interrupting aren’t I?” She laughed “But Caitlin some guy Harry’s looking for you?”

I felt bad but I couldn’t help it, I totally ditched Blake. I ran as fast as I could, hoping I could get out of here before Harry found me. I ran through all the party until I ran into him. He looked into my eyes and I fell for him yet again although I had to act angry at him.

He grabbed my arm and walked me almost to the forest.

“We need to talk” He said in a manly voice that made my knees weak

“What are you doing here?” I yelled at him

“I couldn’t leave without you. You had to know how I feel about you.” He tried to hold my hands as I rejected him

“Look I know, but you didn’t respect me enough to tell me you were leaving.” I looked at him in the eyes

“Look, look, look no.” He pulled me back to him as I tried walking away “I left, I did, and I’ll admit it. But when I got to London, I looked at my hand. It wasn’t holding anything. And I wanted it to be holding your hand. But you weren’t there.” He looked me in the eyes though I looked at Blake who was looking at me angrily

“So that’s what you wanted? You wanted me to just drop everything and go with you to your home country?” I looked at him angrily

“It’s not just mine. It’s yours.” I let him grab my hands “You want it too. You want to live a happy for filled life. And you’re not going to live it here.” He whispered

“What so now you’re telling me what I should and shouldn’t do?” I spoke back

“I’m saying you hate me right now. I mean I agree. If I were you I’d punch me. But I know deep down your forgiving me and hopefully you still love me because I can’t live without you. I love you.” He looked into my eyes and I looked into his. He put his hands around my waist, pulled me in and kissed me.
