Chapter Nineteen

Katie’s P.O.V

It had happened to me again. I’d fallen in love again, only to get physically and mentally injured all over again. I really thought Andy was going to be better than Kyle, and I’d never loved Kyle as much as I’d loved Andy. Andy had always said how he’d never hurt me, but then he went and did it. I walked along outside in the dark with a broken heart, still in my pyjamas, clutching my phone in my hands. I couldn’t stop the tears from rushing down my face.

I’d been walking for a good 20 minutes, when I felt I needed to call Kellin and ask for help. I called and after about 5 rings, Kellin picked up. “Hello?” he said, his voice sounding groggy and sleepy.

“Hi Kellin, it’s Katie” I replied through my sobs.

“Shit, what’s wrong Katie? What’s happened?” he said, suddenly sounding more alert and panicked.

“I’m r-really sorry I woke you up, it’s just I really n-need help.”

“Okay, where are you?” he asked.

I looked at my surroundings in the dark with help from the streetlights and replied “Outside the department store in t-town.”

“Alright, I’m gonna come pick you up from there. I’ll be there in five” Kellin said, and hung up.

Five minutes felt like a long time. Many tears were shed in that time, and I couldn’t get Andy’s face out of my mind. I was terrified. Why would things like this always happen to me? When Kellin turned up and got out of his car I ran over to him and hugged him, covering his pyjama shirt with tears. He didn’t say anything for a while, just hugged back and stroked my hair to comfort me.

“I’m s-so sorry Kellin” I sobbed. “I didn’t mean to m-make you come out and get me in the middle of the night.”

“Shh, it’s fine. It’s alright. Come back to my place and we’ll talk about whatever it was that happened okay?” he replied soothingly.

“Okay” I agreed, following him back to his car. We travelled silently, except for the occasional sounds of whimpering or sniffing from my tears. My eyes were tired from all the crying and I felt exhausted. Soon we’d arrived at Kellin’s place and we sat down on the couch together.

“So, Katie, what happened?” Kellin asked.

When I’d managed to stop myself from crying and calmed myself down, I replied “Well, Andy and I were sleeping, but I suddenly woke up. I felt really hungry, so I crept downstairs trying not to wake Andy and rummaged around in the cupboards looking for a little snack so I could then go back up to bed. I couldn’t really find anything. Then I felt a hard blow to the back of my head and I fell straight to the floor. I looked up and there was Andy stood with his fist raised above me. Andy had punched me. I thought he loved me, but he’s just like Kyle. I felt so angry and terrified, but mostly utterly heartbroken. I kinda screamed at him then ran out because I was scared he’d hit me again.”

Kellin looked shocked for a while then eventually said “I can’t believe it… I can’t believe he’d done it on purpose.”

“It seemed that way” I replied miserably.

“I think you should talk to him about it. I’m sure he’s probably feeling very worried and guilty right now.”

“I don’t want to talk to him just yet. I can’t. Besides, he can’t expect me to trust him easily after that, especially since everything happened with Kyle.”

“Yeah, I understand” Kellin said sympathetically. “But when you’re ready to talk to him it might be a good idea. In the mean time you can stay here if you want to.”
