The Letter. THE CHANGE. The Lie.
Chapter 46: Part 1
*Katia's POV*
All I heard was dead air through the phone. I closed my eyes and bit my bottom lip, trying to hold back tears. That couldn't of gone any worse, and that was exactly what I didn't want to happen.
"Katia?" Louis whispered. He was still standing behind me, but farther back then when he first walked over.
I turned around and faced everyone. Everyone watched me waiting for me to say something, but I couldn't. I didn't know what to say. I just wanted to scream, I wanted to scream, to throw something, to break something. So thats what I did. I threw my phone to Niall's couch. It bounced off the edge and landed on the floor, hard. It was probably broken, but I didn't care.
"Katia, whats wrong?" Mia asked. She stood up after handing Milo over to Niall, who quickly put him in his babyseat.
I still couldn't speak, I ran my hand through my hair, stopping on the top of my head grabbing a handful of hair. I twisted my hand slightly, feeling pain spread throughout my scalp but I ignored it.
"Katia," Mia stood in front of me now. "what happened?"
"My dad's a freaking idiot!" I yelled. The entire bottom half of my vision was blurry from tears that stood on the edge of my eyelid threatening to fall. "He doesn't listen to anything I say! He doesn't take the time to listen! He just does whatever he wants without looking at it any other way! He is a narrow minded... ugh!"
One of the boys tried to interrupt me but I continued my rant over them, Mia knew better to talk though. She knew that once I got like that I just needed to scream and throw something and cry for a while.
"He doesn't want me to date Louis! And just because he is older than me! My dad was 22 when he started dating my mom! And my mom was 16! He can't do that! He can't be that much of a hypocrite!" I was pacing around, throwing my arms up in the air as I spoke. By this point tears were falling softly down my cheeks, my voice kept cracking as I spoke. "And he wants me to go home! He wants me to go home! They aren't even home, they are still in South Carolina! He wants me to get on a plane and break up with Louis!"
Saying it out loud made me realize how much I didn't want to break up with him. I stopped mid-rant and turned around. My gaze instantly fell on Lou. He was still standing by the window watching me; he looked defeated. Just how I felt defeated.
No one was talking, even Milo was completely silent. I couldn't break up with Louis, and I wasn't going to. "Lets go public."
No one responded right away. They all just sort of stood there, stunned. "Wha... What?" Louis stuttered.
"Lets go public, lets announce we are dating," I told him. He started walking over towards me.
"Katia, you don't really want to. Not now," he tried to reason with me.
"Why not?" I asked.
"Because you are an emotional wreck," he chuckled. He was standing in front of me now. He wrapped his arms around me.
"Just because I'm sort of emotional right now, doesn't mean I don't mean it," I argued.
"If you were sort of emotional, sure," Louis said.
"But you are more than a little emotional," Mia added on. "Your on an emotional roller coaster."
I gave up, right then. I felt utterly defeated. I had a headache, I wanted nothing more than to curl into a ball and cry, and I felt like there was nothing I could do. "I don't want to have to break up with you," I whispered.
"Then don't," he whispered. I started to shake my head but he continued on. "Lets not think about it right now."
I nodded and he kissed the top of my head. I ended up borrowing a pair of sweatpants and Louis and I laid down and watched the movie Grease. We spent the entire afternoon like that, his arm wrapped around my waist pulling me against his body. I fell asleep for a good portion of the movie and woke up later.
