I woke up in an awkward position, my feet were over Liam's lap and my head on Louis's stomach oops. I sat up and stretched out my arms accidently hitting Louis.

"Ouch" he moaned.

"Shit I'm sorry" I laughed.

I rolled on to the floor and lay there for a few moments before jumping up. Louis yawned before rolling on to the floor.

"Louis what are you doing?" I asked.

"Copying you, it looked fun" he laughed making me laugh.

"Morning guys" Liam smiled rubbing his eyes.

"We need to get to school" I reminded them, I can't be late again.

"I was thinking how about we skip school?" Louis asked smiling at me.

"Louis do you know how bad my attendance is?" I asked him, appalled he would even suggest that.

"Don't worry about it, come on Morris it will be fun" he looked me directly in the eyes.

"Oh fine" I nodded my head. I am not even in the mood for school.

Louis clapped his hands "How about you Liam?" he turned to face him.

"I don't know" he said wearily.

"Fine looks like it will just be Morris and I all alone" he teased him.

"Aughh....fine" Liam sighed.

I punched Louis hard in the arm making him wince.

"What was that for?" he whined rubbing his arm.

"You know exactly what that was for" I said coldly before giving him my best smile.
I turned to face the door as I heard an unusual rhythm of knocking. I walked up to it and opened it curious to see who was outside. I stood there my stomach dropped to the floor, Zach was leant on the door frame smiling widely at me, clearly drunk.

"What are you doing here?" I asked disgusted.

"I live here?" he asked pushing past me.

I pulled him away from the living room where Liam and Louis were.

"You have no right to say that, because of me we can stay here" I half shouted.

"Always looking out for me aye sis?" he smiled tripping over his own foot.

"I haven't got time for this, I'm going to school" I pushed him away from me.

"Hey guys I've decided I'm going to school I will see you later or something" I smiled awkwardly at Liam and Louis before walking out the door.

I rubbed away the tears beneath my eyes, Liam and Louis ran up to me.

"Hey what's going on?" Louis asked out of breath.

"Nothing I just don't want to miss school" I lied, the less people know about Zach the better.

"Then we're coming" Liam said.

"Yeah" Louis said less excited.

I laughed "Louis you don't have to come you know".

"I know but I want to" he shrugged.

"Yeah right" I rolled my eyes.

When we got to school, Louis left to find Niall, Liam stood with me by my classroom.

"Are you going to tell me what's going on?" he asked leaning against the wall.

I shrugged "You always want information from me Liam, I'm not the type of girl who tells her feelings" I said looking down.

"I know, but I don't want you to keep anything bottled up" he lifted my chin with his finger.

"One day I will tell you okay?" I tried my best to smile.

"Well this is cosy" Harry said as he approached us.

I rolled my eyes "See you later" I smiled at Liam before going into class.

"Ah Kate, it's nice to see you're on time today" Miss Levi smiled.

I ignored her knowing I would make an inappropriate joke if I spoke. I sat down at the back of the class room, and Harry sat in the middle next to Ashley... I did everything possible not to focus on him, he looked my way a few times but I ignored him. My phone buzzed signalling I had a text. I looked at my phone and saw it was from Zach.

I'm at your school, some stupid teacher won't let me come in any further. I need to see you- Zach.

I clenched my fist how the fuck could he turn up to my school drunk, what is he playing at? My phone buzzed again.

They are telling me I need to leave, where are you?

Maybe I could let him get kicked out and pretend he has nothing to do with me? My phone started to ring, he was obviously getting tired of texting.

"I'm in lesson leave me alone" I whispered.

I heard shouting from the other end "Get off me, she's my sister" Zach shouted.

"Get off your phone" Miss Levi shouted at me.

"Kate Morris is my sister" Zach said his voice slurred oh shit.

I ran out of class knocking my desk over, I needed to get Zach out of here. I found Zach in reception being pushed out of the door.

"Kate" he shouted smiling.

"What are you doing?" I asked.

"I've lost my key, I need yours" he said tumbling over.

"You are not having my key" I shouted.

"How am I going to get in?"

"You should have thought about that when you lost yours, goodbye Zach see you later" I said before waving at him.

"Kate" he called after me.

I got to the door of my classroom and stopped, could I really face anyone right now? My phone started to ring again obviously Zach. I chucked my phone on the floor smashing the screen, I cried out kicking the wall. I couldn't stop the tears from falling I sunk to the floor in defeat.

"Let me handle this" Harry said calmly, out of nowhere.

He grabbed my arms pulling me up and held me tightly moving me away from the classroom. He pushed me against the nearest wall and leant against me wiping away my tears. I couldn't object, anything I would have said would have been covered over with my irrational crying. I tried to push away from him, but he ignored me and wrapped his arms around me. I leant my head on his shoulder trying to stop myself from crying.

"It's going to be okay" he whispered.

I shook my head unable to speak, he held my hand and brought me outside for some fresh air. He sat me down on the bench and waited for my crying to stop. After what felt like years the tears finally stopped.

"I'm sorry" I whispered looking down.

He held both of my hands "Never apologize for being sad, what's happened?" he asked.

"Zach" I sighed.

"Was he the one on the phone?"

I nodded.

"Did he say something to upset you?" he asked concerned.

"Not exactly" I shrugged.

"Tell me" he ordered.

"He's here, he came by my house this morning and now he's showed up at the school wanting my key because he's lost his" I said appalled.

"Asshole" Harry growled.

I smiled "Hypocrite much?" I tilted my head.

He laughed "I suppose I can't really judge him huh?" he smiled.

I shook my head and managed to laugh.

"Is everything okay?" I turned to see Liam standing there.

Harry let go of my hands and got up off the bench.

He turned to face me "Please come find me, or call or text if you need me" Harry pleaded, I nodded.

He kissed my forehead before leaving, Liam stood there awkwardly not knowing what to do.
"Do you want to talk about it?" Liam asked.

I shook my head getting up off the bench and hugged him. "This will do" I smiled leaning my head on his chest.

He wrapped one arm around me "I wish you could talk to me" he frowned.

"It's not that I can't, I just don't like talking about it" I shrugged.

"You told Harry?" he asked.

"That's different" I sighed.

"How so?" he said agitated.

"Because he already knows most of it, he was there at that moment. I can't deal with many people knowing, with you nothings complicated I don't have to worry or over think. Telling you my whole life will ruin all of that" I tried my best to explain.

"I guess I understand".

I hugged him tightly, I can't explain why I can talk to Harry but no one else. He knows how to hurt me, but knows how to make me happy.
