Runaway

Chapter 25

Kate's POV

"Kate?" I heard a voice

"Kate!" I heard the voice get louder

"Kate!!" They yelled and shook me

I cracked open my eyes, 'wow how long have I been asleep?' I thought.

"5 more minutes mom." I grumbled and I heard laughing.

"I'm not your mom, get your booty up." I looked over and saw Normani standing there laughing. I playfully rolled my eyes at her.

"Whyyyyy????" I whined

"We have to go for our interview and do a performance, which means your coming with us." She said dragging me off of the couch thing in the back lounge.

When I realized that's where I was, I looked around confused. I saw Lauren walk through the doorway.

"I was gonna put you back in your bunk, but Dinah was in there." She stated

"Get up and get dressed gurl, we're running out of time." Dinah said coming into view.

"I picked out an outfit for you, it's chilly out today." Ally said

"Thanks mom." I said approaching my bunk where the outfit was.

I grabbed it without looking and went into the bus bathroom to change. I realized she gave me an Aztec pattern black and white sweater that was long, with navy skinny jeans, a white tank top, and combat boots. I put it on and glanced in the mirror. I wasn't feeling that good about myself today so I didn't look to long. I ran back and grabbed my brush and ran it through my hair. I decided to leave my hair natural. I put a little moose in it so it would have a nice wave to it and let it down. Gosh it's gotten so long, I thought as I watched it cascade all the way down to the top of my butt. I washed my face since I still had tear stains on it. I brushed my teeth and then I threw on some eyeliner and mascara and lipgloss. I tried to conceal my bruised eye as best I could with concealer and my eyeliner. Thank god I can do make up with my other hand or else I'd be screwed. This time I looked in the mirror and was okay with how I looked. My eye wasn't super noticeable, the swelling went down a little so it was just bruised. I grabbed my bag and went outside to meet with the girls.

"Well there's sleeping beauty." Camila said and I let out a giggle.

"Shut up." I joked and she gasped trying to be offended.

The girls started to walk in and I saw Lauren and Camila holding pinkies, so it wouldn't be as noticeable to the fans. We walked inside and heard the fans screaming.

'Ally I love you!'

'Dinah your my Beyoncé!!!!!!'

'Camila love me!"

'Normani your the best!'

'Lauren wobble!'

And the list of things goes on and on. I put on my sunglasses so no one could point out my eye if they got super close. I heard some fans screaming for me but Big Rob the girl's security job ushered us through the crowd.

Once we arrived, the girls went to where they, were gonna be interviewed and I sat in the dressing room and watched it on the screen in there. They finished up the interview and moved to the stage. As I was watching it, my phone kept vibrating. So I finally picked it up and that was a huge mistake.

Me- ''Hello?''

?- ''Hello Katie'' the minute I heard that voice I froze and I felt my heart race increase.

Me- ''Dad?'' I asked my voice cracking and tears welling in my eyes

D- ''Yes it is. You know the father you called the cops on and got me sent to jail, you little shit!'' He yelled in the phone. I know I should have hung up but I was frozen.

Me- "Wh-wh-why are you c-ca-calling?" I stammered out

D- "Speak right you moron. You had no trouble speaking up to me that day." I didn't even know what to say.

Me- "............" I was speechless

D- "Hello? Don't you miss daddy. We always had so much fun together. Right? Because you were my little whore. Even though you were and still are a fat worthless no good piece of shit and waste of time. You deserve to die, no one cares about you. I tried so hard to beat that into your head, don't you get it. I beat you because no one wants you around. I used-" He was cut off by the sound of a man yelling at him

Man- "Hey you can't be on the phone, you know the rules, you have no call privileges!!" The man yelled who I'm guessing was a cop or a guard.

D- "Goodbye Katie, can't wait to see you again. I've missed you." He said and I could imagine him smirking over the phone and then the line went dead.

I immediately bolted up and ran to the bathroom. I leaned over the toilet and started to throw up until I couldn't puke anymore. Once I finished puking I went over to the sink and washed my face, not caring if my make up smeared. I looked in the mirror and hated what I saw. His words kept repeating in my head. I started to believe them. I smashed my casted hand into the mirror and watched it shatter. I yelped out in pain because of my broken hand. I fell to the ground and felt my body surge with sobs. I was on my knees. I heard yells and some pounding on the door.

"Kate?! Open up!!" I heard a voice beg followed along by other voices which I suspected to be the girls.

I picked up one of the chunks of the mirror with my good hand. I immediately started slicing at my wrist. Things started to go blurry and I felt myself spiral from my knees to the floor. I heard the door slam open and saw the girls blurry figures come into view. I heard crying and sobbing and then everything went black.
