Katie's POV

"I like feeling wanted." I whispered and Michael's eyebrows shot up in surprise.

"You grew up in New Zealand Katie. You had no siblings and the perfect parents, your childhood was nothing like your brothers and you mean to tell me that you didn't feel wanted?"

I shrugged and dropped my gaze from his.

"Both my parents worked in a hospital, I barely ever saw them for more than a few minutes at a time. I guess it's just nice to feel like someone is giving me their time and attention. Like they actually want me around."

It went silent and I looked up to see him staring at me intensely. Slowly he stepped closer again and gripped onto both my hands making me grow tense with how close he was.

"I could treat you like that Katie. I would treat you better than Louis ever has or will."

I felt as though the lump in my throat was about to choke me, I couldn't talk and I couldn't move.

I was so shocked.

Wasn't he meant to be like everyone else in this house?

Wasn't he meant to be a bad person?

"I c-can't Michael." I choked out and tried to pull my hands away from him but he wouldn't let go.

"But you want too right? Please tell me there's some tiny part of you that thinks about me and not Louis."

Even though I haven't known Michael that long, he was right and I did have some what of a small crush on him.

But I doubt it could ever turn into anything, not with Louis around all the time.

"It's not that simple." I whispered and jerked away from him.

He rolled his eyes and I knew it was probably time to walk away so I did and went back into the lounge to find some of the boys playing a game on the Xbox and the rest just talking.

"There you are!" Liam cheered once he noticed I had walked into the room and motioned me over to him.

I took a deep breath and pushed my Michael conversation to the back of my head before walking over to him and he pulled me down onto his lap and wrapped his arms around me.

"I made a lot of money today sunshine." Liam whispered as he pulled my hair gently behind my ear.

I nodded and rested my head on his chest.

Liam always felt the need to tell me when he had made a lot of money, everyday when he got home he would tell me and say something about getting me anything I want one day but I don't think he really means it.

"Anything you would like princess?" He asked and I sighed deeply before actually thinking about it.

"Freedom." I boldly stated making him sigh.

"Louis! I think someone needs to spend some quality time with you so she remembers why she wants to be here."

But that's the thing.

I don't want to be here and Louis can't change that.

"Does someone need some Tommo time?" Louis cooed as he chucked his controller to Niall and walked over to me.

I shook my head but he just laughed quietly wrapped his arms around my waist to pull me away from Liam.

There was no use fighting against him because that would just get me hurt so when he laced his fingers with mine I didn't do anything. I let him lead me out of the lounge but didn't listen to a word he was saying as I got distracted by Michael. He walked over to Liam and I watched as they talked harshly to each other before I lost sight of them as Louis continued to lead me to his room.

"What the matter sweetheart?" Louis asked as he sat down on the edge of his bed and pulled me to stand in between his legs.

"N-nothing." I lied.

"Katie you may think of me as a horrid person to be involved with but I watch you all the time so I know you're lying."

Shit um okay think Katie think!

"I'm just bored." I shrugged. "That's why I told Liam I wanted freedom, because I never get to do anything."

His hands travelled up my legs making me gulp loudly before they rested on my hips.

"Well if you're bored then maybe we should start trying a few new activities."

His eyes clouded over with lust within seconds and all though everything in me was telling to say no, I still liked how gentle he was when no one else was around.

I liked the attention.

"What kind of new things?" I asked quietly and he laughed before pulling me to sit on one of his thighs.

"Don't worry love, I'll be gentle just like always."

I swear I was shaking with nerves right now.

"Okay"

Louis let out a small chuckle before placing a kiss on my forehead.

"Seems to me like you're starting to warm up to the idea of us."

Was he serious?

I can't possibly be falling for Louis... can I?

When I was close with Michael earlier, it felt like fireworks and made me feel amazing but I felt like that with Louis too so how was I meant to know the difference?

I leaned down and placed my lips on his hoping it would make me realize how I felt and it did...

Until his phone went off that was sitting next to us.

"Y-you slept with someone else?" I squeaked out as I read his message that was flashing on his phone.

"Well yeah, we're not a couple Katie, you're mine but that doesn't make you my girlfriend."

I scoffed and stood up.

"But you made me feel special."

"Katie you so naive. I have to be nice to you or Liam would be pissed."

I tried desperately to hold back my tears and I stared at him shocked.

"So it was all an act?"

"No Katie, I'm just saying that if you weren't related to Liam then I wouldn't have been this patient with you."

I wanted to scream in his face or punch him but that probably wouldn't even hurt him in the slightest.

"I hate you!" I shouted loudly and ran straight out of his room and back to the lounge while ignoring his demands to return to him.

I ran straight into the lounge to see Liam and Michael still talking but didn't care as I ran over to them and wrapped my arms around Michael.

"Hey shhh, what's wrong?" He cooed but by this point I couldn't hold it in any more and sobbed into his chest.

"Louis - faked it - I'm not special." I blurted between hiccups and watched as everyone looked at me sympathetically.

Michael rubbed my back softly as I let it all out.

"Sunshine do you prefer Michael or Louis?" Liam asked as he eyed me and Michael.

I didn't even get the chance to reply before Louis came barging into the lounge.

"Michael get your fucking hands off what's mine!"

"No!" Michael shouted making me jump and cry harder.

"All you do is hurt her Louis! How the hell do you sleep at night knowing that you're slowly breaking a sixteen year old's heart? That you're sucking the life out of her and just when she showed the slightest interest in you, you tell her that she's not your girlfriend!"

"She wanted the attention and I gave it to her! I made her feel special and I stopped bringing other girls home! What the hell else do you want from me?!"

I sniffled and pushed my head away from Michael to look at Louis, I glared at him before clearing my throat and telling him the truth.

"For you to leave me alone, all I wanted was to feel special but I guess the world was wrong and criminals can't love or have feelings. All you ever do is force me to do things and show me off like some trophy. Did you ever actually have any feelings for me?"

"Yes I did okay! But I'm a bad person and you're not, I didn't think you would ever want to actually be with me so I didn't ask you to be my girlfriend. I forced you to be with me and now I know I should have done things differently for someone as small as you." His voice lost it's volume as he grew closer to the end of his little speech but it didn't make me feel any better.

"You think I'm small?" I questioned him as I finally stood up from Michael and he immediately stood next to me and grabbed my hand.

"Well yeah look at you." He rolled his eyes and I tried to step forward and slap him but Michael tugged on my hand and kept me from making a mistake that would just end in me being hurt more than anyone else.

"Just because I'm small doesn't mean I can't make my own decisions! I'll even start now, I want to be with Michael not you!"

"Like hell you are!" He screamed and pulled me away from Michael and into his arms.

I screeched as he pulled me up against his chest and held me tightly while harshly sucking on my neck.

It was like a repeat of last time except this time around I could attempt to defend myself and it still wasn't working.

I was begging him to stop and pounding his arms, Michael was yelling and trying to help and finally Liam decided to speak up.

"ENOUGH!!!"

I jumped ripped myself away from Louis as I used my palm to cover the ugly mark he yet again gave me.

"Louis you fucked this up all own your own and now Katie has feelings for someone else."

"But that's not fair! I had her first!" He pouted making me roll my eyes at how immature he was.

"Tough shit. Now I think we need some limitations before this gets any uglier."

We all stayed silent and let him think before he perked up as if some imaginary light bulb had just gone off above his head.

"Katie's birthday is just around the corner so how about until then neither of you are allowed to sleep with Katie or become official, she can spend time with both of you and then she can make her mind up on her birthday?"

They both scoffed and said no but I disagreed.

"I like the sound of that." I whispered and they all looked at me shocked.

"I want someone to make me feel special and loved. I can't fall in love with anyone who lies or uses me for looks. I want to get to know you both first."

Louis gripped onto my hand and made me look at him, he didn't seem too happy.

"You can't deny that there was something there from the first time we meet Katie!"

"But I can't deny that I felt something for Michael too."

I pulled my hand away and looked in between them for a minute.

"I'm not a slut, I want something real."

"I can give you real!" Michael piped in and I gave him a small smile.

I walked away from them and towards Liam who happily wrapped his arm around my shoulders.

"I have a big brother to keep me safe and happy, but I want love too. I will make my mind up on my birthday."
