The Letter. THE CHANGE. The Lie.
Please read the A/N
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!
