CHAPTER 15. {Katie's POV}

"I can explain..."

"I think I've heard enough..."

I was angry and he knew it. I turned towards the door and started walking.

"KATIE! PLEASE?"

He was desperate. He ran up and grabbed my arm, forcing me to stop and face him. He was strong... I tried to wrench myself from his grip.

"Do you not trust me? You couldn't tell me something like that? What if it was something worse? Would you tell me then? Or would you still believe it would upset me?"

He was lost.

"It's not happening! That's why I didn't tell you! Because I'm not going to let this band breakup!"

"I know what I heard... Half of you guys don't even want One Direction to exist anymore... NOW LET GO OF ME!"

I finally pulled myself free and stormed out the door. This was too much for me to handle right now...

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

I sat in my room, crying. What had I done? Harry didn't deserve this. He was just trying to keep me happy. Today had been perfect...and now... Well... Yeah. I had to go screw it all up. It was still a week before my mum came back. It was also only a week before the boys were back on tour. Could I fix this by then? I was scared. I was alone. All I wanted was one thing.

Harry.

I wanted him to hold me close and tell me everything's going to be alright. Pfft, you're not in Kansas anymore Katie... Stop dreaming. I'd messed up. Big time.

My phone beeped at me. A text from "Erin Tomlinson" came through. I'm really going to have to change that...

ERIN: Im done. I've had enough. Goodbye.

A fresh wave of hot tears began to flow. No way...

KATIE: No! U have 2 c reason! Plz don't do this 2 me!

ERIN: Don't try to stop me.

I opened up my "Find My Friends" App that Erin and I use to stalk each other with. She was at the beach?... I was freaking out. I didn't know what to do. I didn't have a car cause mum took it! I did the only thing I could.

Run.

I ran as fast as I could towards the beach. I ran until I couldn't feel my feet and even then I still kept running. I need a car! A bike! Anything! I was in desperation. SOMEBODY HELP ME!

It was then that I recognized a black car driving down the street. Harry's car.

"HARRY!" I screamed.

I chased after the car. He was only driving very slowly so I easily caught up. I jumped up onto the step up on the side of the car while it was still moving, hanging on for dear life. Harry wound down the window. He looked as if he had been crying something terrible.

"K-K-Katie?" he asked, disbelieved.

"Harry! I'm so sorry! I overreacted. I was stupid" The tears started to flow again.

"It's ok. It's my fault! I should have told you. And... And Katie?"

"Yes?"

"I want you to know that I love you. So much it hurts."

"Oh Harry!... I love you too. And I need your help!"

I opened the door and got into the still moving car and I explained Erin's situation to Harry. His eyes started to fill with tears, just like mine. After all, Erin was HIS friend too. I checked my phone again. She had moved WAY further up the beach. It's going to take longer to get to her! I threw my phone behind me into the backseat.

"OUCH!" Someone screamed

I snapped around. Louis?

"Why are you here? WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN THIS CAR? THIS IS... THIS IS... THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT! IF IT WASN'T FOR YOU, IT WOULDN'T BE LIKE THIS!" I screamed at him.

"I was sleeping in the backseat. I didn't think anyone was taking the car out and I didn't want to be in the hotel room! Tell me! What's going on?!?"

"Read it for yourself!" I said, gesturing towards my phone.

A minute passed. Two minutes passed. I watched a silent tear trickle down Louis' face.

"Erin Tomlinson?" he asked weakly.

"She made me put it in like that..."

He looked at me wide eyed and I realized...

"Did you not know? HOW could you NOT know? SHE made it so OBVIOUS!"

His tears were streaming faster now.

"I drove her to this?... I thought she hated me... That's why I..." He trailed off.

We must have been close to her now. Anytime soon, we would be passing her... THERE!

"Harry STOP THE CAR! SHE'S THERE! STOP THE CAR!"

He stopped. But Louis had already made it out of the car and was halfway down the sand towards her. She was standing next to the cliffs. One drop into that water and we would never see her again. She started slowly walking towards the icy depths. I dont think she knew we were here... Louis caught up with her and grabbed her arm. Harry and I watched from a distance. It was best not to overwhelm her with people. I buried my face in Harry's chest. I couldn't watch this... He stroked my hair and I started to sob again.

"Shhh... It's going to be alright." he whispered, lightly kissing me on top of the head.

With him, I felt safe. With Harry, my Harry, I knew everything was going to be ok...

{Louis' POV}

"Please don't do this Erin!" I said desperately.

The tears were streaming down her face.

"YOU HAD TO COME HERE DIDN'T YOU? YOU HAD TO COME HERE AND REMIND ME! YOU HAD TO COME AND MAKE THIS SO MUCH HARDER FOR ME! Its not fair Louis..."

"I won't allow you to do this..."

"and why not? Why should you care all of a sudden? It because I'm all "Interesting" now isn't it? It'll make a GREAT final gossip article before you break up the band hey? Why did you come?"

Her words stung like ice. But I couldn't just say something all cheesy like in the movies to fix this. I can't just say 'It's because I love you' and expect everything to be ok.

"Louis? Why did you come?" She asked again.

Notes

Dang! Another freaking cliffhanger!

Im an idiot. I wrote an intense scene at almost midnight... If it's rubbish then blame the lack of sleep.
