The Letter. THE CHANGE. The Lie.
Chapter 83: July 18
*Katia's POV*
As I continued to wander I found myself in front of the coffee shop Louis had taken me to at the beginning of the summer when Mia and Niall were fighting. I stared at it for a moment before walking in and standing in the long line; it would probably take ten minutes for me to be able to order but I didn't care. I half listened to people order in front of me as my mind went back to all the times we came here.
"May I take your order?" a guy in his early twenties asked me. Quickly dismissing thoughts of when we almost got kicked out of here from my head I stepped up to the counter.
"Uh, yes. May I please have a medium hot chocolate?" the man raised his eyebrows at my order but didn't say anything about it.
"Is that all?"
"Uh yeee--- no," I told him, followed by a muttered, "Oh crap."
I tried to come up with what it could be that Louis ordered every single time we came here but I couldn't. So instead I began saying random phrases I had vaguely heard while waiting to order. The man looked at me completely bewildered.
"I honestly have no idea what I'm saying," I told him truthfully.
After mumbling something under his breath, he told how much it would cost and started on my two drinks. As I pulled money out of my purse I began to wonder why I suddenly decided to get his drink, I hated coffee. The guy handed me my two drinks in exchange for the money I owed and I quickly made my way out of there.
I stood in front of the store wondering what to do, taking a sip of my cooling drink as the clouds began to darken again. After a couple more minutes of debating I hailed a cab, and had them drive me to Louis's. The drive there seemed to take forever, but once we turned the corner to his place I started to feel nervous. Slowly I got out of the cab and paid. I watched as it drove away before walking up to his door. I knocked but no one answered, maybe he was still sleeping.
Or maybe now he was ignoring me.
I wouldn't blame him if he was, I mean I did the same to him. I sat down and set his drink down next to me before continuing to sip on mine. It was almost empty considering I drank most of it during the taxi ride, so I attempted to make it last by taking tiny sips.
I couldn't tell you how long I sat there, somewhere between fifteen and twenty minutes. My hot chocolate was long gone, and Lou's drink was cold but I continued to sit there. I couldn't bring myself to move, I thought about it. I visualized every step I would take that would get me to Harry's but I couldn't do the first one: get up. So I just sat there staring off into space, deep in thought, until I heard footsteps. My head snapped over to where the sound was coming from and my eyes focused on the corner waiting to see who would come around it.
A young mother and her daughter walked by, the mom scolding the young girl for getting her dress wet. A wave of disappointment overtook me, and I decided to wait just five more minutes. If he wasn't here by then, I'd leave. As if to make it more official I pulled my phone out to set an alarm, but before I could even save it I heard someone cough.
Looking up I saw him. His hair was still in a mess, and he had horrible bags under his eyes, but it was Louis. Instead of having me stand up he went to sit down and I scooted over to make room for him. We sat in silence for a minute before I spoke up.
