Love is Hard (Harry Styles fanfiction)

Chapter 8: Long Term Sleepover (part two)

ABBY'S POV

Crud. CRUD crud crud. Should I pretend like nothing happened? Honesty is the best policy right? "Louis-" I began. "You. It was you. I can't belive you. It was YOU who burned down everything Katie worked for." I worked my butt off too I thought to myself. That is besides the point though. He continued. "You took Harry from her." Ouch. How'd he know that? He must have saw my confused face because he followed that with, "Yes I know about everything you've done to Katie." Does he know about the other incicdent? I thought we agreed to never talk about that ever again. Yet I guess none of that mattered now since she practically hated me. "You forced Harry into a releationship. What is the matter with you?" That infuriated me. He doesn't know why I did what I did. Not that it was any good reason but still. "You have no idea why I did what I did." "Don't give me that crap." He told me. "You hurt Katie and every part of what you did was wrong. Now if you'll excuse me, I need to go tell Katie why her house just burned down. You know, I don't think she would be as mad if you had just told the truth." With that, he stormed into the house after Katie and the lads to make my life even more of a crap pot. 

LOUIS POV

I don't even know right now I am so angry. Angry for Katie, angry for Harry. This is so messed up I don't even know what to do. My two best friends, both with a problem and the solution is each other. I walked into the house and I was getting ready to tell the lads and Katie what I had  just overheard. But I decided to wait for a better time. Katie was probably going to blow up, so I decided to wai till we were back at the house in private. Plus, Abby walked in behind me. We got the girls things and then went up to Officer Clark. "So um how long until we get our house back? And how much is this all going to cost?" Katie asked shakily."We aren't sure exactly the cost of the repairs and how lomg it will take, but it will be at least 2 weeks to clean up the sight and we will probably need to replace the wiring and pipes that got burned and that will take at least 4 weeks. And I have no clue about the price. Maybe $8,000 at the very least." Katie gasped. "How will I ever get that kind of money" whispered meant for only herself to hear but I heard. I placed a hand on her back. "Th-thank you." Katie said to the Officer who gave her a sympathetic smile. We all squished in the car and headed to our place. We got to nout place and the girl set their things at the door. "So I guess we should get a bedding arrgangement." Daddy Direction stated. Typical. "Well, we have two guestrooms but one is in the middle of getting painted and furnished so that leaves one..." I said thinking aloud. "How about you two just share a room?" Zayn asked. Katie and Abby turned pale. With Katie to angry to speak, Abby gave her a nervous glance then said, "Sounds like a plan." Katie looked as if she was about to swing a punch at her. But, she just nodded and grabbed her bag and followed Niall to their room. I couldn't take it. I had to tell Katie. The boys will figure it out eventually. I just need to talk to her alone. After they came back downstairs, we were all sitting on the couch in silence on our phones in our own little worlds. I decided now would be the best time. I felt odd breaking the silence, so I sent Katie a quick text.

Me: Hey. Can I talk to you outside for a minute??

Katie: Sure :)

Me: Let's go out to the front

Katie: k

I shot her a quick glance. I pointed to the door and we got up. Everyone's heads shot up to look at us. "We'll be right back." I said not even daring to look at Abby. I am fully aware that by me telling Katie this, it will most likely break the sisters bond to no repair, but I just can't. If Katie finds out I knew and didn't tell her, she'll hate me and Abby. I made sure not to even glance at Abby because I was afraid I might decide to otherwise. I mean I'm angry, not heartless. Katie and I stepped outside."Take a seat." I began. "Is everything ok Lou?" she questioned. "Honestly No." I put my face in my hands. "Your going to hate me for telling you, but I think you'll hate me more if I don't." She nodded her head signaling me to go on. "Abby- Abby-" The door busted open. "I burned the house down! It was me. I was making macoroni and I left the fire on and we went to talk and I was scared to tell you. I'm SO sorry. I. Am. So. Sorry." Abby said on the verge of tears. Katie sat there frozen; in shock. She couldn't belive what she'd just heard. Without a word she stood up and with all her might punched Abby right in the face.         As Abby stumbled back, Katie whispered, "You don't even know how long I've wanted to do that." She stormed into the house and went upstairs and slammed the door to her room I assume. "I totally derserve that." Abby said before blacking out.
