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

Chapter 49

Katie's POV

"Katie! KATIE!" Cat comes sprinting into my room, tears streaming down her face.

Oh no, what now? Is all I could think. First drama with Niall and James, then Emma, now Cat? I love helping people, but where's Brad? Can't he help her? Even though Cat's my best friend, I need some alone time to think about what has happened so far. The tour is ending and with all the drama it just went by way too quickly for me.

"Cat! Cat, what's wrong?!" I ask, pulling her into a hug. Her sobs are getting longer and heavier.

"It-it-it's Brad..." she says in between sobs. What has he done? Are Cat, Tristan, and Connor the only people I can trust now? One Direction are all falling apart about Emma. James is...I don't really know but I know it's confusing. Brad just lost my trust. I thought he would protect and take care of my Cat, but he just pretended all along. He had to have. He couldn't just love Cat one second, and then hurt her the next, right?

"Hey, it's okay, Cat. It was probably just a misunderstanding-" I say, though I doubt it "and everything's alright. Do you want to talk about what happened?" I ask. She continues to cry for another minute, until her sobs are almost gone.

"He told me he would be right back, but-but I overheard them and he's right..." her voice trails off as she starts crying again.

"Hey, it's okay. Everything is going to be okay soon." I assure her.

What did she overhear and who's right? I don't question her further, in fear of upsetting her more. She smiles and hugs me tight after calming down.

"Thanks, Katie. You're a really good friend. I'm glad I still have you." She says, turning on my iPod for music. The first song is Tenerife Sea by Ed Sheeran, probably Cat's favorite musician. She sings the song ever so softly and most beautiful.

You look so beautiful in your dress

I love your hair like that

The way it falls on the side of your neck

Down your shoulders and back

We are surrounded by all of these lies

And people who talk too much

You got the kind of look in your eyes

As of no one knows anything but us

She doesn't bother singing the chorus. Instead, she pauses the song and announces that she's leaving to go back to her room to think. Once she left, I continued to sing along to my iPod. Eventually, a knock came to my door, I turned the music lower so you couldn't make out what was being sung. I opened the door and saw James.

"Hey Katie, Do you know what's up with Cat? She seems really upset, I saw her go into her room and she looked like she'd been crying. She won't open the door or talk to me though." He tells me.

"She came running into my room with tears streaming down her face. She said she was upset about Brad and she overheard something? I don't know what exactly." I answer him.

"Oh no...what did Brad do?" He says.

"I have no idea. She'll be okay though, she's strong," I assure him. And it's true. Behind the sarcasm lies a very trustworthy girl who can stand up for you in a heartbeat.

"I wish I could help her." James says.

"Well, dancing always helps me, that's what in going to do now. I don't think she dances...but I'd leave her alone for a little while to think. Don't worry about her. I'm sure she'll be fine, maybe not today or tomorrow, but she'll get over it. I'll be in the dance studio if you need me. Don't be scared to come get me." I inform him.
