Heey xD

Sorry that the update is a day late. I was having a really rough day and the letter I had to write for my writing challenge didn't really help. 

Anyways, here is the chapter. Hope you like it, although it's not very exciting. I've worked out how to end the book just not how I;m going to get to the end!!

Enjoy,

Chapter 15 - Secrets

Katie’s POV

“Come on,” Niall complained after a few moments silence. “I want nandos.” The boys, Danielle and Eleanor all filed out to go to the car, and I was about to follow but Louis held me back.

“You never told me you could sing.” He commented.

“I’m not that good, nothing compared to you.” I told him, looking away slightly. Being perfectly honest, maybe part of this wasn’t just Connor. Maybe there was something else as well. I mean, why go to Connor in the first place? I knew he had a bad reputation, I knew that he had done similar things in the past. So why did I continuously go back to him? Because I knew that I was being forgotten. Louis had moved away to London for the X-Factor, the girls were all missing him and they soon forgot that I even existed. Mum was too worried about Louis and the others to notice me at all, so I went in search of some new friends. Friends that would get me noticed. I never meant to get hurt like I did. But I just wanted to be good enough to be noticed.

“Of course you are. You’re brilliant.” Louis assured me, rubbing my arm soothingly. “Any other secrets you’ve got hiding up your sleeves?” I looked down to my bare arms.

“I’m wearing a t-shirt Louis.” I reminded him, slightly confused. He laughed momentarily at my stupidity.

“I mean, can you play any other instruments that you haven’t told me about?”

“Err, I can play piano a bit.” I sheepishly admitted. Louis was excellent at piano. What if he asked to hear me play or something? I’m so awful he would think that I was some kind of joke or something. Lou reached out for my hand and led me into his room, sitting me down at his keyboard in the corner of the room, sheets of music strewn around it.

“Show me.” He commanded, nodded his head in the direction of the keys, signalling for me to play something.  I sighed before playing ‘skinny love’, the version the Birdy plays. I didn’t sing, I just played, my fingers delecatly hitting the keys and moving to the next softly,  and stopped soon after.

“Why did you stop? You’re incredible.” Louis told me. Yeah, yeah, he’s my brother, he’s meant to say that.

“Err, three words.” I said. “Niall wants Nandos.” I reminded him, standing up.

“Okay, you win sweetheart.” He smiled, ruffling my hair up a little bit.  I folded my arms and glared up at Louis. His phone rang and he swiftly answered it, I made sure to keep my glare on him.

“Yeah, Niall, we’re just coming…yes I know…yeah Katie’s just being dramatic.” He glared back at me poking his tongue out. “Yes, we are literally leaving right now. Yep, okay. See you in the car.” He hung up and slipped his phone back into the pocket of his red jeans.

“You messed up my hair and said I was being dramatic?” I said sternly but jokingly, keeping my glare up.

“Yes, now come on, Niall’s getting fussed.” He said, throwing me over his shoulder and out of the flat. Louis locked the door before meeting everyone else in the car. He put me down on the ground carefully.

“Finally!” Niall cheered when we got in the car. “Now listen up Katie. Do not ever be so dramatic when we go out for food okay?” he said seriously, looking less frightening than a baby.

All of us pilled out of the car and were attacked by fans.

“OMG IT’S ONE DIRECTION!”

“I love you!”

“Marry me?” The fans screamed loads of different things at them and when they started signing stuff, we were separated. A bunch of girls shoved me out of the way. I tried to push my way back through to get to Louis, I had only ever been ambushed by fans once and never were we separated like this.

“Move out of the way freak.” One girl with too much fake fan and overly blonde hair spat at me.

“Sorry, I just wanted to get back to the boys.” I apologized, pointing to where they were having photos taken. I don’t know why I was apologizing, maybe so Lou would hear. I don’t know, but I can tell you that she didn’t deserve it.

“Back?” She cackled. “Like they would want to see you again.”

“Well, yeah they would.” I said. “I’m Katie Tomlinson. Louis’ sister.” I explained.

“Ha yeah right.” She snorted. Attractive. “Like he would have a sister like you.” Those words stung. They shouldn’t have done, it was just some random fan but they still hurt.

“Believe what you like.” I mumbled, trying to move forward again but she grabbed me.

“Where do you think you’re going?” she spat. I rolled my eyes, huffing dramatically.

“Okay guys, sorry we can’t chat to all of you but we have to go now. Love you all.” Liam yelled. The sea of girls parted as they left, Louis looking around frantically.

“Come on Katie.” He sighed, grabbing my hand and pulling me along, holding on to Eleanor’s hand with the other.  

We were seated in a booth in Nandos at the back, so fingers crossed no fans will see us. We ordered and were waiting for our food to arrive.

“So why didn’t you tell us that you can sing?” Niall asked me.

“Because singing is Louis’ thing.” I said. “My thing is…err…” I thought about it for a long time. What was I good at? “Getting in trouble…?” I asked it, like I was answering my own question. They all laughed, thinking it was a joke. I just looked awkward because I was being deadly serious.

“You still draw don’t you?” Eleanor asked me, sipping some of her lemonade.

“Yeah.” I replied in a small voice.

“Katie Grace Tomlinson, you keep too many secrets.” Zayn joked. My phone buzzed so I typed in the passcode 1007, the date that Louis got through X-Factor, and read the message which turned out to be a tweet:

@Maria1Dxx: @KatieeTommo freaks like you aren’t related to hot people

I bit my tounge to stop tears from falling and shoved my phone in my pocket.

“Are you okay?” Lou asked.

“Yeah, just hungry.” I lied, plastering a fake smile on.

 Yeah, Zayn’s right. I keep too many secrets.

Anyone else feeling sorry for Katie? :(

Keep Katie's passcode for her phone in mind for future chapters....bing hint there
