Chapter 2
I remembered the night we fell out a few months ago, the 1st live show had just passed and we planned to go out to dinner, knowing each other from secondary school he still made time for me. As I had slipped into my dress I got a call, I could remember that telephone conversation like it had happened about 10 minutes ago however I didn't know that this would be our last civil conversation.
"Hey Curly locks, can't wait for our dinner plans, I'm nearly ready" I said happily. I heard him sigh as he paused and then coughed hysterically.
"I'm sorry Kay, I can't make it tonight, and I've got such a sore throat" He croaked.
"Oh its okay, I'll stay in and watch a film or something or I'll go out with Jamie (my boyfriend)"
"Yeah, yeah have fun" he replied "I'll speak to you later, bye" and he had hung up before I could even say bye. I removed the phone from my ear and looked at the phone strangely. He seemed a bit offish I thought and then I reassured myself and thought he's probably a bit bummed he cant come out and we haven't seen each other much since I'd moved to London and switched schools and he'd been busy with the X-Factor. I told myself I'd pop round to the X-Factor house tomorrow to see if he was okay. I had remembered I still had reservations at the restaurant we were going to I didn't want to waste it as the waiting list there was huge so I invited Jamie. As we'd walked hand in hand down the bustling street and ogled at the gorgeous clothes in the passing shops we turned a corner laughing and there was Harry with some girl. His face was locked to hers as he his roaming hands settled on her perfectly rounded ass. She had poker straight blonde hair and limbs that went on forever, she thrust her chest at him and his hands went roaming again. I stood there shocked I couldn't move. She was gorgeous but my throat had gone dry and my eyes welled up as anger covered me like a thick blanket. He had blown me off for this....SLUT! I started to stomp over there but Jamie grabbed my waist.
"Leave it Kate, don't cause a scene"
"A scene? I'll do what I like" as I broke free from his grasp. I walked over there and tapped his shoulder and he turned around the girl glared at me as I looked at her arm flung around his neck.
"Hey look can't you see I'm busy" he started obviously not recognising me, and then recognisition washed over his face. "Ka-a-y...Kate, er what are you doing here?" he stammered, I threw my arm back and with all the force I could I slapped him, he fell back slightly holding his reddened check as I walked off and left him there calling my name as tears streamed down my face Jamie tried to pull me into hug but I pushed him away and ran off down the street. After that Harry had tried to talk to me but I didn't want any of it and we haven't really spoken since. It sounds drastic but we had been best friends since year 7, spent all our time together, I'd never think twice about blowing him off especially for a guy, in fact I'd never had a long term relationship due to mine and Harrys friendship, jealously usually killed the relationship in the end. He obviously didn't value our friendship in the same way. My face the picture of despair and pain I was brought back to reality. I looked over to the living area and I could almost see my self that night drowned in cushions sobbing into my hands as I stained my dark blue dress, I could almost hear the loud knocks coming from the front door as Jamie shouted "let me in" but I just sat alone in the darkness and sobbed as sleep finally won and I drifted off.
"Are you okay?" Harry asked looking at the emotion plastered on my face.
"Yeah, yeah I'm fine" a tear rolled down my cheek, turned around and walked to the shiny red kettle in the corner of the kitchen hoping he hadn't seen the tear that I had quickly wiped away.
