Chapter 3 – Have I escaped?

Katie’s POV

“I’m bored.” I complained, switching the radio station for about the millionth time. “Are we there yet?”

“Katie, you asked that 3 seconds ago.” Lou told me, a little exasperated with his impatient little sister.

“Well…are we?”

“No.” He sighed. “What mum was saying, is that true?” Louis asked me warily.

“What? That I drink and party and she has no clue where I am half of the time?” I recalled the conversation I had listened to thousands of times before. He nodded but kept his eyes on the road. “Maybe…” I mumbled.

“Well, what about school?” He asked, sighing lightly.

“I don’t really go to be honest. I don’t see the point.” I shrugged, reaching for my phone. He glanced over at me before snatching my phone away. “Louis give it back.” I whined.

“No, I need to talk to you. Why won’t you go to school?”

“There is no point in it. Nothing interesting ever happens, all you do is just sit there while some teacher just rambles on about something that is never going to be used in my life while people are out having a good time. I would rather be with Zara and Marina.”

“Who are Zara and Marina?” He asked me.

“My best friends. The ones mum says are a bad influence on me.” I told him.

“I thought your best friend was called something like Ocean?” He said, well more like asked.

“Oceania? Oh she is still my really close friend but I’m closer to her twin.” I smiled at how Louis could remember the names of my friend.

“Who is her twin?”

“Marina.”

“Are you being serious? Oceania and Marina? Do their parents have no idea how weird that sounds?!” He exclaimed.

“Meh, whatever. Can I have my phone now?” I shrugged.

“Hang on, we got off topic. I thought you liked school anyways.”

“I did like school, but not anymore. Plus, I’m 16 I don’t have to go to school.” I explained getting bored of this whole question time thing.

“Katie I know you’re getting bored of this but I just want you to be happy and I can tell that you’re not. I’m not stupid and I saw how much it hurt you to be taken away from mum and the girls. Now tell me why you drink so much.” Louis told me.

“Honestly, I have no idea.” I lied, turning my head to look out of the window so he couldn’t see my face.

“Don’t lie to me Katie.” Louis growled at me, gripping the steering wheel tighter.

“I don’t want to talk about it.” I mumbled.

“Well unluckily for you, I do want to talk about it.” He argued.

“Talk to yourself then because I’m not talking about it.” I snapped stubbornly. I wasn’t always like this; a stubborn bitch who is drunk or hungover half the time. I used to be a good little girl; always went to school, always handed my homework in on time, never stayed out too late, never did anything if I wasn’t told to. But that all changed when I met Connor. He would slap me, punch, kick whatever he could do to hurt me, he would do it. He even tried to rape me once. I stopped caring when he told me to kill myself. I never went to school instead I would just go to Zara’s and we would get drunk and smoke. The alcohol takes away my problems. I’m not an alcoholic so don’t say that I am, I only get drunk at parties but I go to a lot of parties. Everything feels better with a shot of vodka. I hate the way I am, I would hate for my sisters to ever become like me that’s why I don’t like to be at home because I don’t want them to see me in a mess and think that’s the right thing to do, because believe me it isn’t.

“Katie. Katie. Katie!” Lou spoke loudly, waking me out of my trance. “We’re here.” He smiled. I stepped out of the car and grabbed some of my things whilst Louis took my suitcases. I followed him to his and Harry’s apartment and was soon greeted by Harry, Niall, Zayn and Liam.

“KATIE!” Niall screamed, running up to me and hugging me tightly.

“Vas Happenin’?” Zayn asked, hugging on to me and Niall.

“Hi Katie.” Liam smiled, also hugging me.

“Katie!!! Hey.” Harry cheered, jumping on me. I am squashed now.

“I feel left out now.” Lou complained. He jumped on all of us, squashing me even more.

“Geofofmemefs.” I said, it was quiet muffled so I don’t think any of it was audible or understandable. What I had meant to say was get off me but it hadn’t really gone to plan. I poked them all in the stomach and I think they got the message. I grabbed all of my stuff walked off to my room. I hung all of my clothes out, which was a lot because mum said I was going to be here for a long time. I hid some stuff as well, mainly cigarettes. I don’t smoke that much, mainly just when I’m stressed.

*knock knock*

“Katie it’s Liam.” He told me, knocking on the door.

“Come in.” I sighed slightly.

“Lou told me to give you this.” He held out my beloved iPhone in its Cath Kidston case.

“Thanks Liam!” I grinned, hugging him tightly.

“No problem.” He smiled. “So how come you’re living with Louis all of a sudden. Lou says he had no idea.” Great, the one topic I didn’t want to have to talk about.

“I don’t want to talk about it.” I mumbled looking at my hands and playing with the sleeve of my grey hoodie.

“Louis said you’d say that.” He commented. “I won’t tell Louis if you don’t want him to know.”

“He knows like half of it, my sisters told him but I don’t want him knowing the rest. He will hate me forever and so would you.” I explained.

“Louis would never hate you. And neither would I or the rest of the lads, so please just tell me. Even if it’s only what you told Lou.” Liam begged, sitting on my bed next to me.

“Basically,” I sighed deeply, trying to avoid answering the question for as long as possible. “Is that the time? I had better go.” I said, leaping up and attempting to run out of the room. Liam grabbed my waist pulling me back into the room. I winced in pain; I had been kicked there only yesterday.

“Why did you wince?” Liam demanded that I told him the answer.

“Promise that you will never ever even breathe a word of this to any living thing on this planet in this life time.” I made him promise.

“I promise.” He smiled.

“Well, yesterday thi-"

“Guys come one we are going to Nandos!” Niall cheered. Thanks for getting me out of that one.

“You haven’t escaped it this time Katie.” Liam told me.
