Katherine's pov
*flashback*
we sat in the car in total silence. Why did me and dad have to leave and not Addie? did mum not want me anymore? I wanted answers but I didn't know the mood dad was in. He looked so sad and broken. I've never seen him so defeated. we had been driving now for what seems like forever. it was raining it was that silent I could hear the rain drops hit the windows. "dad were are we going" I said looking directly at him. a sigh escaped his mouth. "look sweetie, I honestly don't know all I know is we are not welcome in this shitty town" he said not taking his eyes of the road.
we finally stopped outside a motel. it was obviously not well developed. the sigh with 'motel' written on it was flickering on and off and could of swore I saw a cockroach. I missed mum so much. By this time I would of been tucked into bed with my teddy bear I adored so much. I checked my bag but it weren't there. I left it at 'home'. home.. it didn't feel like home anymore. they let dad take me and they didn't even care. I shouldn't be here. I belonged with mum and Addie." dad can we please go home" I said bravely. He looked emotionally drained. I felt bad not feeling safe with him but lately I never knew what he is feeling.
dad still hasn't answered my question. " you are home. you belong with me." he said looking at the green carpet. " what about Addie dad why isn't she here?" I said walking over to dad. " I didn't want to tell you Katherine but she doesn't care about you or ... me " he said standing up and increasing the distances between us. was he being serious? Addie doesn't care about me? she must of cared I've been by her side for 10 years you cant not love someone after 10 years. I felt tears arrive in my eyes it hurt knowing there's a possibility dad is telling the truth.
"look Katherine just forget about them.. they were never family to us anyway" he said wrapping me into a hug. "they didn't .. love me?" I said stuttering. " if they did they would of stopped us from leaving" he said with no emotion in his voice. I couldn't speak I was so scared of my future. I only had dad now and I had to depend on him no matter what. "its best if you just forget about them Katherine. you will always have me I promise" he said. maybe he is right. come to think of it he was always there for me. my first school play, mine and Addie's singing audition he was there. of course I could depend on my father. " dad can.. can we never see them again" I said removing myself from his hug. he didn't reply instead he got a can of beer out of the fridge.
I got into bed. I hated when he got drunk. he was always a totally different person , he definitely was worse then mum who only ever dances and sings. and dad just talks about how messed up our lives are. it hurt me sometimes when he would say how he only wanted one child but got two. I couldn't hate my dad in any state I had to trust he will do what's best for me and him. After a few hours dad has gone through 10 cans of beer but made no attempt to talk to me thankfully. I just pretended to be a sleep. it was better that way. " I knew I shouldn't of married your mother she was a mistake" he slurred. I wished he would just sleep already. I began to miss mum. how at night she would tuck me in and kiss my cheek and say goodnight. a tear rolled down my face. I wondered if Addie would remember me in 10 years.

Katherine's pov
"well that's just jolly see you later" I said in the nicest tone possible. I phoned Sasha to let her know the good news. "hey Sasha I have the phone" I said. "okay meet you at mine" she said in a weird voice. she really hated Addie but I have no idea why . she did mention to me that Addie had stole her 'man' but that didn't sound like Addie.. she's too innocent to steal a man. I ditched school to go to Sasha. wow she was minted. her dad must of been a lawyer or something.
"what are you going to wear then huh" she said looking threw her wardrobe. I knew Addie would wear something not so revealing as me. Addie was incredibly insecure I mean she looks like me obviously she pretty. " something dull and oo that's nice" I said pulling out a short black dress. "im impersonating my duller than life twin would she wear this?" I said to Sasha hoping for a yes because I would look so hot in it. " sure Katherine" she said not paying attention. God people are so annoying its unreal. I wanted Zayn he's just so hot and Addie's obviously to shy to make a move
ADDIES POV
" so I hear Liam's having a party or something were you required to dress up you in" Zayn said smirking at me. I would of loved to go to a fancy party but I just couldn't be asked. I didn't want to upset Zayn so I said maybe. he just nodded and actually got on with the work. wow surprising. over the past weeks I learned Zayn hated maths with a passion. I couldn't blame him just thinking of equations gave me a headache. " so you and Demi huh about time" I nudged Ashton. he blushed slightly and looked sad " what's wrong Ashton?" I said " well it depends if she forgives me for kissing err Katherine" ha he forgot her name.
"want to go at the back of the field just you and me" Zayn said taking my hand. he gave me butterflies without even trying. "sure why not" I gave him a smile which made him smile. wow he is just perfect. we walked there quite fast. " so about the kiss" he said. oh no he's going to say he regretted it and im going to be heartbroken---. he interrupted my thought by talking. " I wouldn't mind more of those" he said so confidently. I felt a blush creep on my face. "wow" I said smiling at the ground.
he leaned in for a kiss. until I felt a pair of soft lips meeting mine. our lips moved in sync. it was just perfect. I put my hands at the back of his neck. I actually think this was the best kiss I've ever had. I swear fireworks was flying . when ever we kissed it took my breath away. He bit his lip. whenever he did it he looked slightly hot but when I did it , it was just a bad habit. " so tonight would you do me the honour of coming to this lame ass party with me" he said caressing my face. " sure I have nothing planned anyway" I said so casually. he had drove me home and I actually was so excited for this party.
I promised myself I wouldn't let these insecurities put me down tonight. Whenever I'm with Zayn they fly away and im free. It was the best feeling in the world. I ran upstairs avoiding mum at all cost. She would just grill me about were I was last night and I don't need her shouting at me. I looked through my closet and I found a long black dress which was puffy at the bottom. I had brought it for my 16th that we didn't get to celebrate because we actually moved on my birthday. I tried it on and I actually thought I looked nice. I did my hair to top of my look I did my makeup. " Addie come here" I head a male voice call my name. Is that dad?
dad was there and he obviously was drunk. " we need to talk" he slurred. mum was sitting down. I think she wanted to avoid any confrontation. I had no intention to talk to him I just wanted to go to Zayns and actually be appreciated.
