Even If It Kills Me (One Direction and The Vamps Fan Fiction)

Chapter 38

Cat's POV

After the 'zombie apocalypse' caused an injury, we decided it would be best to cut it short. Poor Katie, this zombie thing was supposed to be fun and it was a nice try, it just had a horrible outcome.

Brad, Connor, Harry, and I sat down next to the bus, we were currently waiting for new tires. Hopefully this won't bring us too far off schedule, the boys do have a show tomorrow after all.

"Well, that was fun." I say sarcastically, once we're all seated.

The boys all nod in agreement and shake their heads, the unexpected injuries just keep coming.

"You're pretty tough, Con. Didn't know you had it in you." I laugh, referring to Connor punching Katie in the stomach.

Connor sighs sadly, he obviously feels terrible about the whole thing.

"It's fine, we know you didn't mean it." I try to comfort him, he's sitting next to me and still not saying anything. He sighs again.

"So...." I say, trying to hint that someone else should speak.

Still no one answers, Harry and Connor are just staring at the ground and Brad seems to be the only one paying any attention to me. I can tell Connor is still feeling really bad about the whole thing, I move so that I'm in front of his face.

"CONNOR, REALLY ITS FINE! KATIE WILL BE FINE!" I yell and shake him to try to get him out of his funk. I hate when people are sad, I guess that's why I always try to stay positive. "It's not your fault, how was anyone supposed to know you would completely spaz out?!?!" I ask.

"Wow, thanks. I love having the reputation as a spaz." Connor says.

"It's not your fault! If anyone's fault, it's the idiot who had this idea's fault. I swear everyone is so freaking stupid!" I say.

Brad chuckles. "Wow, isn't my girlfriend so pretty and sweet?!" He asks sarcastically, putting an arm around me.

"Hey! I'm still a nice person, I'm just pointing out that we're all young and dumb here." I laugh.

"I'm going to go check on Emma, she's been with Zayn all day." Harry gets up and walks to the One Direction bus.

"Should we go inside?" I ask Connor and Brad.

"No, James and Katie are in there right now, we should probably give them some time to sort out Katie's injuries." Brad says.

"I still can't believe I did that," Connor says.

"Con don't worry. I'm sure Katie forgives you, she seems to have forgiven James..." Brad says.

"Yeah," I say, resting my head on Brad's shoulder to get comfortable. "She definitely won't be too upset," I assure Connor.

"You have me to thank for that," Connor says happily.

"For what?" I ask.

"That," he points at Brad and I. "I'm the one who told Cat that Brad liked her a lot and I'm the one that encouraged you two to get together." Connor says.

"THANKS CONDORA, you're the bestest friend anyone could ever ask for!!!!!" I say sarcastically in a fake excited tone. "Is that what you wanted to hear?" I ask.

"I would've preferred that you meant it." Connor replies.

"Just banter. Thank you..for real." I tell him.

"Yeah, thanks man, you rock." Brad adds.

"Thank you, thank you," Connor puts his hands up in acceptance of his reward.
