Chapter 47:
*Katia's
POV*
I woke up early
the next morning, too early for anyone to be up. I knew I
wouldn't be able to sleep, not after the nightmare I had just
woken up from. So I decided to go for a run. I threw on a pair of
running capris along with a thin sweatshirt. I strapped my iPod to
my arm and put my headphones in. I wrote Harry a quick note telling
him where I was going and then left.
I blared the music loud, loud
enough I couldn't hear myself breathe, loud enough I
couldn't hear myself think. I didn't want to think, I
just wanted to get away. I didn't want to think about what
was going on with Louis, or about my nightmare, or my parents, or
Zach, or Ashlyn, or anything else that was going through my
mind.
I ran farther than I initially
planned, but I needed more time. Eventually I decided to head
back, I had already ran 30 minutes and I knew the way back would
be harder. Turning up the volume I turned around. I actually
ended up taking less time running back, and was soon in front of
Harry's. I ran the entire time until I was in the
door.
Harry still wasn't up so I
threw the note away. Grabbing a change of clothes I walked into
the bathroom. I turned the water on and as I waited for it to
warm up I started examining myself. As much as I hated it, I
couldn't shake the thoughts of Zach, not even during my run.
As I looked at my arms I realized most of the bruises were gone,
just a couple left. I turned around and looked at my back. It was
still fairly bad. The size was smaller, but it was still dark in
color.
Steam had started to form on the
mirror so I stepped into the shower. Once I was done I took my
time getting ready. I completely dried my hair and then
straightened it. I ended up just throwing it up in a messy bun,
but I wasn't doing it for style, just to take up time. It was
already 11, 4 hours since I woke up.
I walked back to my room and threw
my clothes in the laundry basket and realized I should probably
do some laundry. I was separating my clothes into piles when I
heard my phone ringing from the nightstand.
I answered it, expecting it to just
be one of the guys or Mia. "Hola!"
"Good morning Katia," my
mom responded.
"Good morning," the
change in my tone of voice was dramatic.
"I wanted to talk to you
about... what happened last night," she said, choosing her
words carefully.
"What? You mean when Dad
unrightfully started yelling at me?"
"Katia, you know how he is. He
just doesn't like the idea of you dating an older guy,"
she defended him.
"There is a 6 year difference
between you and dad. There is only 4 years between Lou and
I!" I argued.
"I know, and I do think he
over reacted..."
"So that means I can stay? I
don't have to come home?" I interrupted.
"I don't know, I'll
talk to him," she said slowly. My heart soared. I might not
have to leave, I might be able to stay.
We talked for a bit longer before I
heard Harry walking around. I told her I had to go and I'd
talk to her later. Hanging up I skipped out to the kitchen, happy
and ready to start this day.
AUTHORS NOTE:
Hey guys. So I decided that I am going to finish The Change before
taking a break. I am though starting to think of new story ideas
and wanted to know if anyone would be against me doing a story that
isn't a 1D fanfic. I kind of have an idea I'm tossing
around but its really kind of out there. If anyone has a preference
on if my next story should be another fanfic or not please let me
know! Thank you so much for reading! Love you
all!
