Love is Hard (Harry Styles fanfiction)

Chapter 7: Long Term Sleepover? (part one)

KATIE'S POV

I walked into the house and saw Abby. Anger immediatley rose within me. I didn't want to blow up on her, so I just walked upstairs and took some time to think about how I was going to handle this situation. I couldn't just stay up in my room, and even though I'm mad at her, it wouldn't be fair if I just stormed out again. I decided to take charge. I planned to just walk down there, tell her I was going to speak and that she was going to listen, then just let nature do the rest. I did just as I planned but once I was done talking, I did what I pretty much do with all of my problems. Run. Or in theis case, storm off. It was a goood thing I did though because as I stepped through the door, I smelled smoke. I started to cough and shut my eyes. When I opened them, I yelled at the top of my lungs. Fire. The kitchen stove was on fire. I didn't know how or why, but I wasn't stupid. Right away, I grabbed my cell phone and charger and sprinted out of the house. By this point, Abby was hot on my heals hacking and crusing under her breath. I called 911 and Abby called Niall, him and the other lads being the only people we knew. We moved away from the house to see it go up in flames on the side of the house where the kitchen was on. I started to feel myself tearing up. Everything we had worked for. All of the time and savings both of us put into this house, going up in flames. As I started to cry I felt large muscular man arms wrap around me I spun around to see Louis. I hugged him back. "Everything is going to be alright love. I promise."  Louis whispered in my ear. "No it's not. Everything I worked for, burned." He just hugged me. The Zayn, Niall, an Liam came over to me and gave me a hug. I glanced over to Abby and she was hugging Harry. They let go and then Harry walked over to me. "I'm so sorry" he said. "No need to be sorry. You did nothing." I replied. "You know what I mean." He chuckled trying to lighten the mood.

ABBY'S POV

I can't belive what I just did. I burned down the house Katie and I worrked so hard for. I called Niall and he and the boys came over and Louis went to comfort Katie then to me. I was hugging Harry. He hugged back like a boyfriend should and told me it was going to be alright. That must be a good sign right? Maybe he actually likes me. Katie and Louis seem to be getting closer. An ambulance came and checked us out. We weren't mentally fine, I mean we had just watched evrything we worked for go down the drain. But physically fine. We were all standing there watching as the firefighters tried to put the fire out. I was honestly so scared. Liam asked us how the fire started, and Katie said, "I'm not sure but I think it was something in the kitchen." I simply shrugged my shoulders. There was no way that I was going to tell Katie right now. She already pretty much hated me, once she found out, she'd disown me. A firefighter came over to us. His tag read Officer Clark. "Hi, I'm Officer Clark. I'm sorry about what happened. But do you know how the fire started?" Niall spoke for us. "They aren't sure." he said sadly. "Alright. We will do more research. You girls are going to have to stay somewhere else for now. While we search, and while the house gets fixed. Whenever you're ready, some firefighters can take you in and you may retreave some of your belongings that survived the fire." Katie's face sank. "Where are we going to stay?!" she shakily said. Her sadness then turned into anger making me flinch. "I swear whenever I figure out what caused this fire-" "It's ok. It's ok." Louis calmed her. "You guys can stay with us for as long as you need. Right boys?" "Right." the others said in unison. Her face relaxed a little bit. "Are you guys sure?" I could tell that she was probably not very fond of living with the boys but she was trying to hide it. It wasn't the boys, it was Harry. She didn't like the fact that she would have to live in the same house as the boy she wanted but the boy her sister had. I think Louis knew something because he sent her a sympathetic look makig her not as tense. "We're sure. We like you guys." Zayn chuckled. "Ok. We should go grab little things that remain." Katie said. We walked towards the officers that would be taking us into the house. I stopped by Officer Clark who had asked us if we knew anything. I coudjn't let them go through the trouble. I decided to keep th efact taht I had burned our house down from Katie but tell the officer. "Um officer Clark?" "Oh, um yes how may I help you?" "I know how the fire started. I just don't want Katie and the lads to know right now." "Ok..." Officer Claark said. "Tell me what you know." "Well I had been making macoroni and had it on high flame to make it cook faster and well I guess the flame go ta bit out of hand." I said embarrased. He jotted what I said on a notepad. "Ok. Thank you. But not to get in your personal llife or anything, but I think your friends adn sister deserve to know why the house burned down." "They will, I promise." I assured him. What I didn't know was that they might know sooner than planned because as I turned to go into the house to get my things, I saw a wide-eyed Louis standing a few feet away in disbelife.
