Louder Than Words

Chapter 40

"Niall, tell me what happened. "

"Zayn," Harry says, "We've just found out that Kacey's dad has passed away."

Oh no.

"Is- Is she alright?"

"We haven't talked to her but we think you should."

"Erm, ok."

I grab my phone and look for Kacey's number.

I usually have the right words to say but I don't know now. What do I say?

"Hello?"

Oh shit. I called her.

"Kacey?"

She starts crying and my eyes get teary too.

"Babe, are you alright?"

"How'd you find out?"

"The boys told me. Babe I'm serious I can get off this flight and head on over to cry with you."

"No don't do that, Andrea's with me. Don't worry about me, I'll be fine."

"But-

"Bye, love you."

She hung up before I said anything else.

"Is she alright?" the boys ask

"No."

- Kacey's P.O.V -

"Andrea, just one more and then I'll be done promise."

"Your already drunk Kacey, one more and we won't make it to the airport."

"Fineeee."

What's up with her? I'm just drinking a little. It's not that easy to get over an tragedy like this.

She walks me to the hotel lobby and the outside, where all the paps are.

"Kacey! Kacey! How do you feel about your fathers death?" They all yell

Andrea pulls me closer to her and I whispers, "Don't answer them."

I rip my hand from her grip.

"Fuck that! You want to know what happened? My dad died. How do you expect me to be? You guys have no respect for us. Just give us some fucking privacy."

"Kacey!" Andrea yells

She grabs me again and pulls me to the car.

On the ride to the the airport and on the airplane, I'm quiet the whole time. I'm writing a new song, No Love (Lil Wayne ft. Eminem).

I knew I'd regret all I said because it was out of anger and I'd face those consequences when I have to.

- At Australia, 7:00pm -

"Kacey I expect you to go to bed now, we have to wake up early tomorrow."

No.

At about 7:45pm I sneak to the nearest gym and sneak to the boxing room. I wore sliders, gray Nike's, and an Everlast jacket.

I've been boxing for a little while now but no one knew. I was pro at jump rope. I could go so fast, you didn't even see the jump rope.

After I warmed up, I grab my red boxing gloves and walk up to the big punching bag. I push it around a little to see how hard it was or how much it weight and it was heavy but with the first punch, it went back 5 inches and it kept going further.

I must be really angry.

"Wow that's some muscle you got there!"

"WHAT THE- Liam? What- Why are you here?"
