Once Katie had finally showered and did her best to cover up the marks on her neck, she got dressed in some yoga pants a Pink sweatshirt before slipping on her slippers and going downstairs to see if Tabitha had managed to not burn the house down while she cooked the Macaroni.
"Hey." Katie managed a weak smile as she prepared the coffee for the two of them. "Hey." Tabby replied with a smile as she dumped the noodles in the colander and sifted the water out. "So Niall called while you were in the shower and he's coming over later with the boys. They said they had a surprise for you." Tabby dumped the cheese in and mixed it up until it was all even. She smiled proudly before getting out two bowls and dividing the portions up.
"I don't think I can take anymore surprises." Katie groaned, resting her head in her hands before grabbing the mugs and pouring the coffee. "Here, bby." Tabby grabbed the aleve from the cabinet and handed it to Katie. "Take two of these. It'll help with your headache." So she did and sat back down at the table with her food and coffee. It probably looked extremely strange that they were eating mac and cheese at eleven-thirty and drinking coffee, but that's just how they rolled.
Katie was Niall's cousin and the two of them had grown up together and were extremely close. Ever since Niall had become famous he had less and less time to spend with her, which sucked for her. "Hey, cheer up." Tabitha must have noticed her over thinking because she shot her the worried mom look. "Yes, mother." Katie smiled and finished off her mac and cheese and coffee before putting the dishes in the dishwasher.
"I'm going to run upstairs and get ready." It really wasn't a secret that Tabby liked Niall, but of course Niall was oblivious to that. "Kk have fun." Katie smiled at her before going to sit down on the couch, flipping on netflix. She knew the boys were normally late, so she didn't bother doing anything but lay there and watch Hemlock Grove.
A few hours past before the doorbell rang, signaling everyone was here. "It's open!" Katie called from the comfort of the couch. She was wrapped in a purple fuzzy blanket now and she just couldn't be bothered to get up and leave that warmth.
"You're so lazy." Louis commented as he walked in and took a seat, kissing Eleanor on the cheek in the process. El was Louis' girlfriend for the past few years and she really was a nice girl. Then came in Zayn with Perrie and Harry and Niall trailing in by themselves. "Hey babes." Niall sat down on one side of Katie before she moved sat up so Harry could also sit. "Hey Niall." She replied before leaning into him to give him a hug, though she was still wrapped in her blanket.
"Where's Tabitha?" Niall raised an eyebrow as he looked around..but no Tabby. "Up in her room. Go check on her for me?" Katie smiled, nudging him. She knew he liked her but Niall was so shy when it came to girls so he needed a little push. Niall soon went upstairs, leaving Katie to sit awkwardly beside Harry and look at the other couples, when she noticed they were short one. "Where's Liam?" I looked up at Harry who was looking at me already. "With Sophia." Louis replied, though the question wasn't directed towards him.
She just nodded and leaned her head against Harry's shoulder. Katie had always had a thing for Liam, but he was with Danielle and then he started dating Sophia. She never felt like she would be good enough or even his type. She was just plan old Katie, so nothing became of it.

After ordering pizza and watching a movie Katie excused herself from the group to go upstairs to bed. She wasn't tired and she didn't plan on sleeping..but she just couldn't socialize tonight. She was still upset about what she woke up to and who it cold have been. It had just put her in a funk, and Liam not showing up made her sad too, though she really didn't want to their relationship thrown in her face.
After a few minutes of her sitting on her bed she was greeted by a knock at the door. "Come in." She was already under the covers, her head facing the door as Harry opened the door and walked in. "Hey." he started towards Katie, but stopping before he reached the bed. "About last night..." Oh God...it was Harry..Harry was who I made out with...
"I don't think you should bring it up again." He began slowly. "He's in a relationship and he's happy..he probably thought you were her." wait...what? If it wasn't Harry..who did this? "Yeah.." Katie said still a bit confused, fortunately Harry didn't catch on. "Alright, well I will let you sleep.." Katie just nodded and watched as Harry left, closing the door behind him.
So it was either Louis, Zayn or...Liam..but which one?
