Things Are Strange, I Like It Like That.

Chapter Fourteen

"Kaleigh Rose Tompson! Would you please come out and enjoy the day time?" Niall shouts.

"Hm, lemme think..no!" I yell back.

"I swear to God, I will drag you out of your room!" He yells as he pounds on my door.

"Just go away!" I scream and shove my head into my pillow.

"Kay, come on! You can't live there!" Harry's voice comes through my door.

"Actually, yes I can. I have a mini fridge and plenty of things to do and I have my own bathroom so ha!"

"That's it." He shouts and opens my door. "Master key." He snickers.

"Ugh!" I shove my face in my pillow again.

"Come on. Get up." He sits down on my bed.

"How about no?" I mumble into my pillow.

Suddenly, I feel Harry pick me up and carry me down the stairs. I struggle at first but then I just give up.

"Put me down." I mumble.

"Fine. Listen, Kay, I know you're upset about Kelly but she's a total bitch. I've always hated her." Niall says, shrugging.

"And was that supposed to make me feel better?" I ask as Harry sets me down.

He shook his head. "Just stating the facts."

I roll my eyes and grab a bottle of water. "I just don't get why she would do that."

"Bitch." Niall coughs.

I shoot him a glare and take a drink.

"Yeah, okay. Bye." Liam walks into the kitchen and smiles. "Lou's gonna be home in a few minutes."

I smile slightly and close my water.

"Maybe sunshine here will lighten up a bit when he gets here." Harry laughs and walks into the living room.

"Would you like me to push you off a cliff now or later?" I snap.

"Whoa, what's going on with you two?" Liam asks.

"She's grumpy." Niall states.

"I can tell. She looks like she wants to kill someone!" Zayn laughs.

"I will kill all of you if you don't shut up!" I yell.

"Rawr!" Harry makes a hissing cat noise and I slap his shoulder.

"I'm home!" Louis yells as he walks in the front door.

I jump up and run to him.

He smiles and hugs me. "Hey, Kay."

"Hi." I smile and kiss his cheek.

"See? I told you she'd be happier when he got home." Harry says.

"Were we unhappy?" He asks me and I roll my eyes.

"I just wanted to be in my room and they wouldn't allow it." I say and shrug.

We both sit down on the couch and watch TV.

**************************

"Louis?" I ask, turning my head away from Toy Story.

"Yeah?" He keeps his eyes locked on the screen.

"Do you think I was acting like a stuck up cheerleader?" I look at him.

"Yeah, sure." He still just looks at the TV.

"Louis! Are you even listening to me?" I ask and sit up.

"Yeah." He says and doesn't even look at me.

"Okay then. I think I'm gonna go jump off a bridge now."

"Kay." He says and continues to stare at the screen.

I frown and get up angrily.

"Geez, what's your problem?" He asks, finally breaking his gaze from the TV screen.

"You're my problem, Louis!" I say, crossing my arms.

"Me? Why?" He furrows his eyebrows.

"You weren't even listening to me."

"Yes, I was."

"Then what'd I say?"

"Something about cheerleading on a bridge.."

"No, I said 'Do you think I was acting like a stuck up cheerleader?' and you said, 'Yeah, sure.'"

"Oh, I did?"

"Yeah. Then I told you I was going to jump off a bridge and you said, 'Kay'!"

"Well, that was rude."

"Yeah, it was! You weren't even listening to me, Louis!"

He sighs. "I'm sorry. Okay? Just stop overreacting about this."

"I'm not overreacting!" I yell.

"Yes, you are!"

"I'm sorry that my best friend just told me that we were no longer friends!"

"You can't make that your excuse for everything, you know?"

"It's not my excuse for everything! For god sakes, it happened yesterday!"

"I know! But still Kaleigh!"

"No buts! I would be there for you if one of the guys told you that you weren't friends anymore!"

"Like that would ever happen!"

"I'm just saying, Louis!"

"You know what? I can't deal with this right now!"

"You can't deal with this? You're the reason we're fighting!"

"Guys, this is stupid. Let's just all be happy again." Liam pipes up.

"Stay out of it, Liam!" We both yell at the same time.

He steps back and I turn back to Louis.

"I am most definitely not the reason that we are fighting!" Louis yells.

"Oh, so this is my fault that my boyfriend won't listen to me?" I yell back.

"I was listening to you!"

"No, you weren't!"

"Whatever Kaleigh!"

"Don't 'whatever' me! You started this!"

"I did not! You overreacted!"

"No! Quit saying that!"

"What? You want me to lie?"

"You know what?" I glare at him.

"What?" He screams.

"We're over Louis! Done!" I scream back at him and run to my room.

I grab my suit case and throw all of my clothes into it. I throw everything else I need in another duffle bag and run back down the stairs. All of the boys are staring at me then Louis with their jaws dropped. I glance at Louis who stands frozen staring at me. I groan and walk towards the door. No one makes any attempt to stop me. They know I'm pissed.

I run to my car and throw my stuff inside. Where the hell am I gonna go? I don't have Kelly. I'm not going to my mom or my dad because which ever one I went to the other would think I love them less and it's just stupid.

All of my relatives live in different towns so that's a no.

Only one place left: Austin's.
