The Girl With Lips Of An Angel

An Unexpected Reunion and Fan

Kaitlyn

The first one to speak is Liam, he just kind of stands there first but then says, "Is it actually you?"

"No, it's the Queen, of course it fucking me!" I say and they all laugh.

"Yep, it's her," Niall says and Liam is quick to engulf me in a hug.

"God, I've missed you like crazy!" He whispers into my hair and I sigh.

"I've missed you too."

"Okay, my turn," Niall says and pulls Liam back by his shoulder and pulls me into a bone crushing 'Horan Hug'.

"Hey Niall, I missed you too," I say and he chuckles.

"Good. It's been hell, seriously," He tells me and lets me go to look me in the face, "We have all struggled since you've been gone. Even though you were only there for a short amount of time, we became familiar with you. Zayn and Liam have struggled the most. They reckon they can't go one day without hearing something that you'd say, or something you'd say. You'd think they were the ones who loved you and not-" Niall stops before he goes any further, he smiles sadly, "Sorry..."

I knew it was only a matter of time before something was said. I was just hoping it wasn't this early. God, it just sucks sometimes, knowing that I caused pain to someone, and even worse, someone who I thought I was close to. I was really hoping I could put it off a little longer, but it's not Niall's fault. Besides, I have to face it sooner or later. Just later rather than sooner...

"It's okay. I can't hide from it forever," I shrug sadly and he nods and pecks me on the forehead.

"Come here you," Zayn demands softly and I smile before bringing him down to my height and clinging to his shoulders, "Missed you."

"Missed you more," I whisper so only he can hear and he chuckles. We embrace for a bit longer before letting each other go.

"So, now for the question we've all been wondering," Liam says, "Why're you here?"

"What, you don't want me here? I can leave if you want?" I joke and Niall nudges my shoulder with his own as the boys chuckle, "Just joking. I'm staying with Hayley for a little bit."

"Oh, why did we not know this, Hayley?" Zayn calls into the lounge room where Hayley is talking with Jonah. Hayley and Jonah walk into the kitchen and join in the conversation.

"She's Jonah's little sister," Hayley explains and the boys' heads turn to me.

"Really? You're KJ, Jonah's little sister?" Zayn asks and I nod.

"Yeah I am." I say.

"But your name isn't KJ, its Kaitlyn," Niall says and I roll my eyes fondly at him.

"My name is Kaitlyn-Jane. Just use the initials and you have KJ," I explain in a 'duh' tone and Niall is struck with realisation.

"Small world," Liam mutters.

"Sure is," Jonah says.

"Where's Anna?" I ask Jonah.

"She's upstairs," He replies and I nod.

Niall, Liam and Zayn look at Hayley for a minute, who has that hurt expression on her face again before it is quickly replaced with excitement.

"I'll go and get her, she's in the music room," Hayley informs us and we nod.

"Who's Anna?" Niall hesitantly asks.

"My niece. What's with the hesitation?" I question.

Niall looks at Jonah before answering, "Err... I guess Hayley hasn't told you."

I go to say something but Jonah cuts me off, "No she hasn't. But we'll just let Hayley tell her. You know how emotional she gets."

"Right then," Niall agrees.

Seconds later, I hear a pair of small feet running through the threshold of the kitchen, screaming at the top of her lungs, "Oh my god, dad! It's One Direction!"

I laugh before I crouch down to her height and whisper in her ear, "Anna, you don't need to scream. We can hear you just fine when you talk normally."

She nods, "Okay, Aunty Kaity."

Liam bends down so he is at the same height as Anna and her eyes light up, "Hi Anna, I'm Liam."

"Oh, I know who you are Mr Payne," She whispers and we all chuckle.

"You don't have to call me Mr Payne, sweetheart. Just Liam is fine," Liam says and Anna smirks.

"Okay, Just Liam," She whispers and we laugh again.

"you're a cute kid, and you sound very mature for your age. How old are you?" Liam asks.

"I'm six," She proudly states, still whispering.

"She is a very mature young girl. Her dad's a doctor and her mom's a University lecturer for English Studies," I say and the boys raise their eyes.

"A very affluent family then?" Zayn questions and I nod.

"You could say that."

"So, Anna, who is your favourite from the band?" Niall questions as he, too, crouches down.

"Zayn," She murmurs quietly.

"Oh really?" Zayn asks surprised but flattered.

"Mhmm," Anna replies.

"And why is that?" Zayn asks.

"Because you can draw cool things and your voice goes really, really high. That's pretty cool, too," The six year old replies.

"Do you want to draw something with me?" Zayn asks her and she nods her head enthusiastically, "Are my things still here from the other day, Hayls?" He asks and Hayley nods.

The dark haired boy takes the hand of the small blonde girl and he leads her to the lounge room to draw. I smile as I watch them walk into the next room and take a seat on the lounge.

"Where are Harry and Louis?" I ask the boys.

"Harry's gone to play golf and I'm pretty sure Louis is hanging around in Central London with his mum today. She's getting married in a few months and wanted Louis to go shopping with her," Liam says and I nod.

"So, how long are you here for, Kaitlyn?" Hayley asks.

"I'm not sure yet. Until whenever Jonah gets back form America," I reply and she nods.

"Well, let's go get your stuff and I'll show you to the room you'll be staying in," She says and I follow her to my car to get my things.
