I didn't expect this!

Chapter 8

Harry's POV

"Katy. I've been looking for you for days. It's been 2 weeks since you left and everyone has been wondering where you've gone. Well I'm just glad you're okay." The girl says.

"Tess..." Katy says again.

"Look Katy I know you felt alone in that battle but what was I suppose to do. I couldn't let them hurt anyone again. I had to just give in. I'm sorry." Tess says.

"No...you can't come here and give me these excuses again. She needed us, and we weren't there for her. She could've at least deserved some justice." Katy argues.

"I'm sorry Katy. I truly am. I was blinded by fear. You know I cared about Cami. We all did but that wasn't enough."

"I think you should leave, Tess. Please don't mention this to anyone back home. I came here to move on not drag everything from my past to a new location."

"I understand. I won't tell anyone. But you're parents really miss you; specially your sister... Anyways... Good luck, Katy. I miss you."

"I miss you too." I hear Katy say as Tess walks away.

She suddenly turns to me and she seems at a loss for words.

"Harry, I know you must be extremely confused right now but I can explain." she says with this nervous look on her face.

"It's okay Katy. You don't have to explain anything. At least not right now. We came here to enjoy and have dinner and we should do exactly that." I say trying to lighten the mood.

"You're right. I'm sorry for all of this." Katy apologizes.

"Katy stop apologizing to everyone. You're fine." I say as I try to give her a nice smile.

She returns a smile back to me just as the waiter arrives with our meal and another one following behind holding a bottle of champagne.

"Your dinner sir, and some champagne." The waiter says as he serves our food and pours our drinks.

"This is really great Harry. Thank you for all this." Katy says as we enjoy our delicious meal.

"Katy I just wanted to say this. I've been holding off for a while since we don't know each other too well but I can't seem to hold it in anymore. Katy I really like you, and I think this could really work. I want us to be together." I feel so much better after that. I feel like the weight just lifted off of my shoulders.

"Harry, I've been thinking about this too if I'm being honest here. And I can't deny the fact that I feel the same way." she says as she begins to smile.

"Would you Like to dance?" I ask her as she nods and I lead her towards the right side of the balcony closer to the great view she seems to enjoy.

Katy's POV

As I stand there dancing with Harry I seem to have completely forgotten what happened moments ago. I felt lost for most of my life but right now being here with him somehow made me feel like I've found my way.

"You're a great dancer." He says as we dance along to this beautiful slow song.

"I don't seem nearly as good as you." I say and he chuckles.

"Thank you." I whisper to him.

He looks me straight in the eye and says, "Katy you don't have to thank me for anything." He slowly starts to lean in just as everything seems to go by slower.

I close my eyes and feel his lips against mine. We both smile into the kiss and this moment right now seems to be one of the best I've ever had.

As we pull apart I can't seem to stop smiling. This night turned out to be much better than I expected.

1 Hour Later

"Goodnight Katy."

"Goodnight Harry."

He leans in just as I say that and we share another amazing kiss. It's the end of the night and the end of this wonderful date. I must admit, I didn't know what was going to happen tonight. After Niall had told me how Harry felt I was panicking a bit. He's such a great guy but it feels like things are moving a bit quick. But somehow I feel okay with that after tonight.

"Harry, this night has truly been amazing." He smiles and gives me one last peck before he leaves.

I slowly close the door and head towards my room. Suddenly I hear a knock. I head back towards the door and open it. "Harry...? Oh, what are you doing here?"

"Katy I just really needed to talk to you. You seemed busy earlier and I didn't want to intrude but I really do need to talk to you. It's very important." Tess says.

"Oh uh okay, come on in." I say as I let her in.

"Look Katy I know everything was getting a little crazy back home but you left at the worst time. Your parents, they've been trying to reach you for days but you changed your number and just disappeared. I saw the note you left them and I can understand how you felt but things have gotten much much worse than before."

"What happened?" I ask worriedly.

"It's Finn. He's in the hospital. He tried to go to the club searching for more evidence but someone was there."

"Who?"

"No one knows. Finn's in a coma and he's really hurt." Tess says as she begins to sob. Another person mysteriously attacked. If only I had stopped Cami that night none of this would be happening right now.

"Tess I'm so sorry. I know how much you love Finn. I'm sure he's gonna be fine."

"Katy 5 people have died. No one knows what's going on. Ever since that night our lives have been a living hell. Ever since we found Cami lying in a pool of her blood on that alley we've been a mess. I don't know how long I can take this."

"Tess, breathe. You've got to stop crying. It's all My fault. I could've stopped her from going with that guy. I knew it was a bad idea and I knew how drunk she was. This is all my fault."

"No Katy don't blame yourself. No one even saw his face. Cami just met him at the bar and left. We didn't know this would've happened. How were we supposed to know he would do that to her, or all these people. He's a coward for hiding and attacking everyone like that."

"I just wanna know what happened that night. Why did he do it? Why is he doing all of this? What is he hiding? All we got were 5 people dead. And now Finn is in the hospital. I've had enough of this."

"The more we get into it the more confused we get. I just can't seem to understand any of it. Everyone has given up. I don't think we're ever going to find out..." She says.

"I just can't seem to understand why the case was closed so quickly."

"I don't know Katy. I really wish I did. We just need some answers."
