The Wallflower
Almost
Kat's POV
I sighed an opened my eyes, expecting to see sun shining and birds chirping. Instead I see dim lighting and crickets chirping almost silently, almost. I roll over and see Louis curled up in the recliner book in hand, sleeping. With the dim lighting coming from the lamp, I tip toe over to Louis. Smiling slightly, I take the book from his hands and cover him with a blanket. Pausing I kiss him on his forehead. Sighing step away and continue to tip toe out the door.
I walk down the stairs and into the living room. The boys were playing a game on the X-box, sitting on the floor. Jules was laying on the couch, sound asleep. I came and sat next to Niall.
"What time is it?" I ask.
"AYE!"
"Shhhhhh!" The rest of the lads whispered at him.
"Aye..."He whispers. "You scared me Kat."
"Yeah when did you get up?" Liam asked.
"A minute ago. What time is it?"
"7 O'clock. Hot chocolate anyone?" Zayn asks.
***
"So, Kitty Kat, how's you and Louis?" Harry asks.
I pull my sleeves down over my hands as I sip my hot chocolate before I ask him what he meant.
"Are you two together yet?"
I almost spit out my drink, almost. Instead I settle for choking on it. I cough violently as I hit my chest.
Zayn chuckles, "I'd say that's a no."
"W-why would y-you think that?" I stutter still recovering from my coughing fit.
"Because you both like each other, obviously." Niall scoffs playfully.
"Are you kidding me? Louis doesn't like me that way."
I look down at my hot chocolate. Louis would never like me. He can have any girl in the world. I'm lucky he even wanted to be my friend.
"So you admit to liking him then?"
My head jerks up to meet a smirking Liam. Liam, when did you become such a devil? I almost didn't believe it, almost.
"I-I never said that." I stuttered. All the boys smirked.
"You never denied it either" Liam will you shut up? Please.
"You guys corrupted him!" I grumble as they laugh at me.
"Looks like Kitty Kat has a crush on boobear." Harry says.
I chuck a marshmallow at him.
"Hey!"
"MARSHMALLOW WAR!!" Niall shouts.
"Ahem."
We all turn and see and angry, obviously sleepy, Louis in the door way. He shot a glare at the boys. They drop their marshmallows and point at me.
"Kat started it!" They shout.
I give Louis a guilty look. His gaze automatically softened. He turned to Zayn.
"Zayn, clean this up."
"What? Why me?"
"One because I need my beauty sleep and you peasants woke me up. Two because you have pretty hair. Three because I told you so." He walks up the stairs.
"And the sass master has left the building." Harry says.
***
I was in Jules music room. Playing the piano. I hummed softly. I stopped suddenly, feeling eyes on me. I turn and see Louis leaning against the door frame.
"Don't stop because of me."
I sighed before I continue. After a while I feel Louis come up behind me, his hands cover mine.
I glance over my shoulder, he was closer than I thought. One inch away and for the second time in my life I almost kissed Louis Tomlinson. Almost.

Alex's POV
I sat the picture down in front of mom.
"who is she?"
"I don't know."
"Why is she with dad?"
"I don't know. Where did you get this?"
"Are you our real mother?"
Her gaze snaps to mine.
"Of course I'm your mother."
With look in her eye I almost believed every answer she gave me. Almost. I also caught how she strained the word your. I was almost positive Kat wasn't my sister. Almost.
Or I just didn't want to believe it
