A/N: I was writing this while listening to Raign - Don't let me go It's a really good song and you should listen to it! I would post it on the side but I don't know how to :( It really went with the way Katie was running out as you will see in a moment... enjoy!

Katie's POV

My feet took me out of the store so fast, I could barely see with the tears running down my face. I felt the flashes of cameras as I tried to get out of the mall. The paparazzi may have cleared the store, but not the mall.

"KATIE!" my name was called.

Normally, I would have turned to look, but today... didn't feel like normal. Instead, my feet just took me out the rest of the horrific place.

I knew it was Harry, though. The paparazzi must have caught him. Fortunately, for me, I got out of the mall in one piece. My eyes blurred with tears. My head whipped around, pleading for a place to go. My throat dried up. I felt like I was choking, thinking about what was said. By Kelly.

Finally, my eyes landed on an empty alley way. I ran for it. I sat down. I bawled my eyes out. Nothing had felt so bad before. All the emptiness I had without Kelly came back. The memories. They all came flooding back.

I leaned my head back, resting it on the wall as i cried some more. Everything was falling apart. Slowly, and very, very carefully. Jake, My dad, and many more things to come. I guess... all those bad decisions and secrets really do come back to bite you in the ass. Especially, your best friend.

Why? I asked myself. Why me? After everything I've been through, this is what happens. My thoughts of those questions just made me cry harder. But what really made me cry? Was Harry.

What.... what would he think of this? Of me? I have lied about quite a few things. Big things. Things that are really important when you get to know someone and want to be with them, not that Harry will want to ever be with me now.

"Katie!" I looked back to see Harry standing there, literally just standing there. Like he was frozen in place.

"W-w-what? D-d-don't look a-at me like an a-abandoned a-animal!" I yelled, happy it was like 5:00 so nobody was really here to listen.

"A-abusive father?" he whispered.

"Kelly doesn't k-know what s-she's talking a-about. Just d-drop it."

"This scene right here tells me different. Why didn't you tell me?"

"Harry, please. I'm being honest. Nothing's wrong. When Kelly said that, it just reminded me of what almost happened. It never did, I swear. Also, another reason is my parents are..." Quick, Katie, quick! What do I say?!

"-dead." Kelly entered the alley way.

"Her parents are dead," she summed up.

"Oh, I-I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to pry-"

"On, no, it's okay. I mean, you did deserve to know why you've never heard of them. Now you do," Kelly explained. Why was she covering for me? Did she feel bad?

"It was really not my place to say those things. I was just mad and words came flying out of my mouth before i could even think. Just... go easy on her, I'll see ya'll later!" and she was gone.

"I really didn't mean to pry, Katie. Really. I'm also sorry about your-"

I cut him off, "It's okay, really. I'll talk more about it when I'm ready... it's been a while since I've spoken about the tragic accident." i wiped the tears off my face.
