Chapter 7 – You need a lot of air

Katie’s POV

“Harry!” The first thing that I heard was my kind brother yelling. Thank you so much. “We’ve run out of carrots and Special K. Again.” I swear that there is something wrong with that child. Or adult I should probably say…but sometimes Daisy and Phoebe are more mature than him.

“Louis shut up. You’re gonna wake Katie up.” Harry shouted back. I quickly changed into some burgundy leggings, an oversized cream jumper and some cream coloured Converse. I washed my face before applying a mask of make-up to cover up any bruises that I had, as well as eyeliner and mascara. I braided my wavy brown hair into a really messy plait and let it rest just past my right shoulder. I walked out into the lounge where Louis and Harry were discussing carrots and Special K, loudly might I add.

“Well, if you keep on shouting back then she will wake up even more.” Louis complained, without realising that I stood right there.

“Morning Louis.” I said in the first moment of silence. I think Louis may have jumped out a million feet in the air.

“Blooming heck Katie, no need to make me jump quite so much.” He laughed, grinning wildly at me.

“Why wake me up then?” I asked, rummaging around in the fridge for something to eat.

“We have no carrots or special k.” Harry told me. “But I think you’ll be able to manage.”

“Louis is the only strange child.” I commented, pouring myself a glass of orange juice.

“Said Katie.” Lou smiled, leaning against the worktop.

“So, what are we doing today?” I asked the two boys, waiting for some bread to finish toasting.

“Dunno really.” Harry sighed.

“We’ll decide when the others come over a bit later.” Louis informed me. “So, what would you be doing on a Saturday if you were at home?” He added, trying to make conversation.

“I’d probably be at Zara’s. Or maybe Luke’s. Or the twins house.” I said, changing my mind a lot. “Actually, I could be anywhere.” I admitted. “We would most likely be drunk or hungover and we’d just watch films for most of the day. Maybe go shopping, maybe not.” I explained, vaguely. Louis did not look impressed.

“Katie, you can’t just get drunk every weekend. You’re only 16 for god’s sake.” He sighed, rubbing his temples. “Please, just stop wasting your life.”

“Fine.” I agreed, avoiding eye contact at all costs. I had missed bits out of my usual Saturday’s. I often wasn’t at a friend’s house when I woke up. Nor was I at home.  Sometimes I had no idea where I was, I was just in bed somewhere or on a couch. I like that about getting drunk and letting go of your worries, you never know where you will be led to, sometimes it’s good and other times it’s not but that’s just something that we have to deal with.

“Morning Tommo.” Zayn greeted me, waking me out of my train of thoughts.

“When did you get here?” I asked, slightly confused to see him stood where Louis had been only moments ago.

“Oh, nice to see you too. I slept fine thanks.” He commented sarcastically before gulping down some orange juice. “I just got here.” He informed me. “Ran out of food.”

“You sound like Niall.” I giggled, eating my now cold piece of toast. “Louis why didn’t you tell me that my toast had gone cold?” I asked him but without moving from my seat in the kitchen, so whether he actually heard me or not is another story.

“Niall would never run out of food.” Zayn chuckled. “So, what do you want to do today?”

“Dunno. Louis said that you guys were all gonna come over later and that we would decide then.” I shrugged.

“Well that sounds exciting.” He replied, with a hint of sarcasm in his voice.

“I heard my name.” Louis smiled appearing in the kitchen.

“Zayn wanted to know what we are doing today.” I told him.

“Yeah, me too.” He grinned. I dumped my glass and plate into the sink before heading back to my room and grabbed my lighter and a cigarette, shoving them up my sleeve and making an escape out into the garden.

“Where are you going?” Harry asked me, forcing me to stop in my tracks and turn to face him.

“Outside.” I told him, “I need some air.” I lied before continuing out into the open air.

“You need a lot of ‘air’ don’t you?” Harry told me, putting the word air into inverted comers.

“It’s because I have to breathe.” I told him. He shut up then and returned to the flat. I walked over to the very back corner of the garden and held the cigarette in my lips before lighting up and being enveloped by the comforting smoke. Of course I know that smoking kills and all of that hype but it’s feels nice, it calms me down and no one likes a stressed person do they? No. I unlocked my iPhone and logged on to Twitter just because I was bored. Not much was happening really, I had a few tweets from Zara. I swear she is like a social networking butterfly. She loves being in social situations online, well, offline as well but she is like me and gets drunk offline.

@Zaraacanflyy: missing @KatieeTommo very muchly <3

Bless her. I bet she does miss me though. I know that sounds self-centred and everything but whenever we went away we missed each other like crazy, and we were like party buddies!! Who was she going to have sleeping on her bedroom floor now?

@KatieeTommo: @Zaraacanflyy missing you too, so bored without you. Hope you had a good time last night xx <3

I meant that. I do hope that she had a good time at the party. What is the point in going to a party if you don’t enjoy it?

@Louis_Tomlinson: Lost my sister in my flat. @KatieeTommo where are you? X

Oh Louis.

I snuffed out the end of my cigarette and dashed back into the house, hoping to clean my teeth before any of the boys noticed the smell of smoke on me.  I sprayed myself heavily with Impulse New York before running back into the lounge and jumping on the sofa next to Zayn.

“I am here Lou.” I smiled. Zayn looked at me weirdly but I just shrugged it off. Maybe he hadn’t seen the tweet?

“Okay. So what do you want to do?” Louis asked. Liam and Niall had turned up and obviously Harry and Zayn were here.

“Can I take Katie shopping? Can I? Can I please?” Zayn begged. Why did he want to go shopping with me so much?

“Yeah I don’t mind.” Louis decided for me.

“Well thanks for deciding for me considering that I’m only 16 so I can’t decide anything for myself.” I told Lou sarcastically.

“Only ‘cause you make stupid ones.” I heard Louis mutter under his breathe. F**k sake! Why does he have to be so annoying?!

“Zayn I’ll be ready in 1 minute.” I said, glaring at Louis and storming off to my room to get my stuff.

I really need some ‘air’ right now.

Gaah. It's not the best chapter in the world but maybe you will like it. I have the next chapter written so I may upload that later tonight but if not then it won't be until my exams are over. What do you think? Upload tonight or wait until June 19th?
