It was all so absurd, the whole story. That she even had to move out because her own dad couldn't stand her. And the whole cancer-thing was apparently just the top of the ice cream. And the cuts.. She was so ashamed of herself, and hated herself so much for what she did that she took it out on her body, beacause she "deserved" it. Bullshit, she was just a scared kid. I felt terrible, so I really wondered how she felt. I didn't know how she did it.
It was forenoon. After she told me the story, I suggested that she should take a nap. So she did. And I made a decision. Bim couldn't make the night on her own, not after something like this. Because I could feel it in my stomach, I was the first person she had told the story for, and that had to be scary for her. So, within the next hour, I got properly dressed and went to the cafeteria to talk to Harry. When I came down there, I couldn't see him.

"Kath?" I turned around and saw Liam.

Thank God, I thought.

"Hey, Liam!" I smiled. "Do you happen to know where Harrys room is?"

"Yeah, upstairs. Number 328." He smiled.

He smiled!

"Thanks Liam."

Before going up to Harry, I forced myself to stop, even though I was in a kind of hurry.

"Liam?" I said.

"Yeah?"

"How are you doing?" I asked.

"I'm trying to stay away from that town. I don't want to confront those boys again." He said, but right after he said it, it looked like he regretted he even brought it up. "Well, why do you need Harrys room?"

"I just need to talk to him. We had a da.. I mean, we were going to hang out tonight. And well, changed plans.." I mumbled.

He just nodded, with a half smile. Wow, that was hot.

"I gotta go, watching a movie with Niall." He said and waved.

I walked up, tried to remember the number 328. Suddenly, there it was. Right in front of me. I knocked on the door, and soon, a guy in nothing but his pants opened.

"Is Harry in here..?"

"You must be that girl Harry has been talking about, nonstop actually." He grinned. "You know, Harry has been at the gym today, for like six hours. He also bought like three wine bottles and some crazy expensive sushi."

I swallowed. Felt guilty.

"He even bough a new shirt, and pants. You must be really something.. IN BED!" He laughed and opened the door.

Pathetic. But all the stuff about Harry.. All of the sudden, I became very nervous to blow this off, it felt so mean. But I had to.

"Harry's in the bathroom, shaving, I think."

"Thanks.." I muttered.

I knocked on the bathroom-door.

"Okay Tim, for the last time. I don't have any Japanese porn!" He shouted.

I looked at his roommate, who just shrugged his shoulders.

"What? I'm a dude!" He hissed.

"It's me, Harry." I said.

The door was quickly opened, and a red-faced Harry came out.

"Oh, h-hi Kathleen.." He said, embarressed. "I didn't know that you.. uh, was here."

"I need to talk to you." I said, and Harrys gaze fell on Tim behind us, and I followed his eyes.

"..Without your pornfreak-roommate." I added, which made Harry laugh.

We went outside of the room.

"Harry I.."

"Don't think this is a good idea?" He interrupted disappointed.

"No, no! I do think it's a good idea, I just.."

"Have other plans?" He interrupted again.

"Let me finish, Harry!" I shouted.

"Okay, sorry.." He whispered.

I felt bad, and placed my hand on his shoulder. He swiftly looked at it, and a smile began to spread on his lips. His perfect, pink lips.

"Something came up.. My roommate, Bim, she's.. I just.. It's hard to explain, okay? I really looked forward to this night, but she really needs me right now.." I said quietly.

He nodded slowly.

"Okay.. It's fine." He sighed and shooked off my hand from his shoulder.

I stood speachless there, alone in the corridor, as Harry slammed the door closed. That kid really had a temper, I thought and started to walk back to Bim. Maybe she was awake by now? I locked up the door and came in. But she was still sleeping. I sighed, and sat exhausted down at my chair. I could hear Bims breaths. I watched her sleep. She looked so peaceful, so.. angelic. I could never in a million years think that she would be the person she revealed herself to be, this morning. She looked like that kind of girl that asked her parents about permission for colouring her hair, that girl what would wear cupcake-necklaces, flower-dresses and pink makeup. I was still shocked.
Actually, after hearing the story, I got really thankful for my parents. How they raised me, how they treated me. I was so thankful, all of the sudden. I gotta call them, I thought randomly. I dialed in my dads number and waited for him to pick up.

"Hello?"

"Hey, dad!" I smiled.

"Oh, hey Kath! Why did you call?"

I was so glad to hear his voice.

"Because I just wanted to tell you that.."

I looked at Bim, and gave a sad smile at her.

"I wanted to tell you guys that I love you and I miss you. And I know it has only been a week but I still miss you lots."

"Oh, honey. We love you too. Do you want to hear a word from Faye?" He asked.

"I would love to.." I almost whispered with tears in my eyes.

It took a few seconds, but soon after dad left the phone, I could hear small breaths in the phone.

"Hello?" I heard Faye say.

"Hey sweetie! It's Kath!"

"Kaaath!!" She shouted and sounded happy to hear a familiar voice.

"What are you doing?" I asked her.

"I'm building a castle with daddy, he's the princess and I'm the prince!" She giggled.

I found it supercute.

"How fun! Hey, Faye. I miss you, cutie."

"I miss you too. But I have to go, daddy needs to be saved by me!"

"Okay. Here you got a million kisses from me!" I said and made a kiss-sound.

"Kisses!" She yelled laughing.

I could hear her kiss the phone, and then hung up. God, I missed her.

Notes

Hey guys! I might write one more chapter tonight, we'll see! So, I know that I haven't gone into Liams little "problem" so much, but it's just because this thing with Bim happened. Liams problem will meet the surface again though, and you will all know what really has happened between him and those guys. I hope you liked the chapter. Love, A.

By the way, should I start with like questions here that you guys can answer while you are waiting for the other chapters? I don't know, it was just an idea.
