A New Love

Part 8

One week before the autumn break

 

"Katie, can you come here, please?" my brother asked as I were about to step outside the house.

"Sure, what is it?" I said and went up to him.

"I just wanted to tell you that dad has booked a trip to Australia during the autumn break" he said and laughed at my face, I must've seemed scarred or something, at least it was how I felt afterwards. "He wanted to apologize for what he did, or something like that"

"Nice" I said and smiled.

It got silent, so I picked up my stuff and went out.

"Hey, Niall!" I shouted as I saw him at the parking lot outside the school. Niall looked at me strangely and walked toward me.

"Whazzup?" he asked and kept look at me at that strange way.

"Guess what, me and my brother are going for a tripp to Australia during the autumn break" I said and shine like the sun.

"Fun! May I join you?" he asked and looked at me like he would go with us anyways. I sighed.

"Can I have one moment in my life, without having you beside me?" I asked.

"I haven't been with you since that accident with your dad, at the restaurant" he said stepped closer to me. I looked down and he kissed my forehead. I smiled.

"Come on" he begged.

"No, I want to go on my own" I said and hoped he wouldn't get angry at me.

"Ple-"

"NO"

"Okay..."

I went away without a word. I felt terrible...

The weeks passed by quickly, and suddenly the day - where me and my brother packed our bags and left - came. Niall had decided to kiss me good bye at the airport, it made me feel even more terrible.

The plane flew out of the runway and soon everything below us where very small.

A few hours later the plane landed in Australia.

"So, how does it feel to finally be here?" my brother asked as we stepped into the lobby of the hotel.

"Great" I said and looked around with a smile on my face.

My brother headed to the reception and picked out our keys. He handed one key over to me and started to walk. I went after him.

When I got into my room I closed the door behind me and started to pack up my clothes.

A few hours later someone knocked on the door, it was my brother.

"Ready for dinner?" he said and smiled.

"Yes" I said, and it felt like other people would think that we were together or something...

We came to the restaurant of the hotel. We ate in silence. It felt kind of tensed between us, I didn't know what it was, but it was tense..

"I just have to go to the ladies" I said as I had finnished my meal.

My brother made a gesture that was telling me that it was okay. I left the table and went away.

Later in the evening I went out of my room at the hotel to take a walk outside. Something felt terribly wrong between me and my brother, but I couldn't figure out what. While I was walking down the road outside the hotel someone came up behind me and grabbed my arm. I tried to get free from the grip, but faild. The person behind me pulled me closer and now I was sure about that it was a guy.

"Who are you?" I asked and heard the uncertainty in my voice.

"Your prospective boyfriend" the guy behind me whispered and put his chin on my shoulder.

By this moment I was scared, I regretted that I had went out.

"Let me go" I whispered as I started to cry.

"Don't cry, my dear" he said and held me closer. I felt my knees give way beneath me and that the guy held me up. I made desperate attempts to get loose, but he just held me closer. He turned me around and gently pushed me closer to his chest. Actually, he was pretty cute, but I was still scared, and I didn't know this guy, I hadn't even seen him before.

"May I follow you back to your room?" he gently asked.

"No, I'll be fine" I said and tried to go.

"Then you'll stay with me" he said and held onto me.

"Fine" I said. "Follow me back to my room.."

He didn't answer, he just smiled and grabbed my hand as he started to walk inside the hotel.
