Fallen

Chapter 24

Kathie's POV.

I had just woke up from my little nap by the loud voices coming probably from my apartment. Even though I didn't give a shit about Alisa, I was worried if something bad had happened to her. I recalled Liam's words, replaying them in my head.

I got out of bed, his bed, and run outside in the living room. There he was, sitting on the couch. His eyes met mine from the moment I came out of his room. His eyes were so damn bright, so calming and beautiful. No matter how he was always getting on my nerves, I couldn't not admit that his eyes were so nice.

I broke eye contact with him but he didn't. He always looked into my eyes when I was around. Something I would never understand.

"There's something wrong." His voice calm.

"Whatever it is, it took place at my apartment." I was looking at the door.

I don't know if he was reading my mind but he stood up walking towards the door at the same time as me.

We extended our hands to grab the door knob, resulting in his hand being on mine. I gave him a death glare but he wouldn't budge.

"Move your hand." My anger got the best of me once again.

"Move yours." Not a good time to be stubborn Liam. But if that's how you want it, that's how you'll have it.

"I'm not going to fall to your level." I can be as stubborn as him. I dare him to try me.

"Is there even lower than where you are now?" I really hate his sarcasm.

"I don't know, you tell me." I never thought someone would make me that irritated.

"Don't play it brave to me. Got it?" Wait. Was that a threat? No. I hope not.

"Enough. Take your hand." I commanded.

Finally, he decided to pull his hand. He was irritated but not as much as I was. Not that I cared for him or his feelings but I liked it when he was angry and hurt. I know it sounds cruel but that's how I felt toward him.

I opened the door and ran to my house's door. Liam was behind me and I could feel his tension from miles away. The door of my apartment was open so we got in really fast, coming face to face with a weak Kendall and an even weaker Niall, both laid on the floor.

I ran towards Kendall as Liam was already by Niall's side. I helped Kendall up and I saw that his head was bleeding. I carried him to the sofa and helped him sit. Niall was already sitting on the sofa opposite from Kendall. Liam was sitting next to Niall. So senseless, so cold, so irritating. Oh God I hated him.

I went in the kitchen to grab some ice for Kendall. When I returned to the living room, Kendall was looking at me like I had four heads. Did I have something on my face? No. It couldn't be that.

"Seriously now? You really think I need that shit?" Pointing to the ice I was holding in my hands. I looked at it and realized that indeed he didn't really need it. Out of habit I thought it was going to help him. It's the fact I had never had werewolves as my friends. I'm sorry I don't know how to behave when it comes to them.

I put the ice on the table and noticed that Kendall's injury was healed. That was really impressive but I wasn't going to be okay with everything that was happening.

I sat next to Kendall and opposite from Liam. Even when he looked at me, he was pissing me off.

Niall was staring at me. I knew sooner or later he was going to snap at me for doing what I did to Alisa. It was pretty obvious that he had feelings for her although I didn't believe in something like that because vampires don't have feelings. Right?

"Jane took Alisa and that's because of you." There we go. I knew Niall was going to blame me for everything. That's what everyone always did anyway. It was always my fault.

"So what? You wanted me to be at her place? I was trying to save myself." I knew that sounded really selfish but I felt like I had to save myself no matter what.

"And you think that was a nice way to save yourself?" Of course he was going to support Alisa.

"What?! So you wanted me to die?! I'm the innocent one here. After all, I'm not Jane's daughter. Sooner or later Jane would find out and she would come looking for Alisa."

"Yeah but you let it happen sooner than it was supposed to be happening." Great. Now Liam is taking Alisa's side. Whatever. It's not like I expected him to take mine. He hates me. He said it himself.

"Of course. I forgot it. Everything is my fault. It always is. Go save your Alisa and leave me alone. That's what everyone does anyway. I'm used to it. No one cares. But you know what? I don't give a fuck." He really does a great job at pissing me off and reminding me how much of a failure I am.

"You know that Niall is right, Kathie." Was he actually serious? Liam could really be a pain in the ass.

I stood up and walked towards the door. I wanted to leave, to stop seeing their faces, his face.

"No one can possibly know it. The future is unpredictable. You taught me that, Liam." Those were my last words before walking out and leaving them alone.

I started walking down the street while repeating his words again and again. How could I be so stupid to believe that he might actually like me. He hates me. Liam hates me and there's nothing I can do but hate him back.

I was so lost in my thoughts that I barely noticed Harry a few meters away from me. When he saw me, he started walking closer...
