The Letter. THE CHANGE. The Lie. Chapter 81: July 17 *Katia's

The Letter. THE CHANGE.  The Lie.

Chapter 81:       July 17 
*Katia's POV*

 After half an hour in the shower I finally turned off the water and stepped out into the steamy room. Slowly I wiped off my body and slipped on Mia's clothes, pajama shorts and a old school sweatshirt cut so it fell off my shoulder, before drying off my hair. Using a corner of the towel, I cleared off a section of the mirror and stared at my reflection. My eyes were red and swollen from crying and small smudges of mascara still hung beneath my eyes making me look like a panda. Using an extra amount of energy I wiped away the excess make up and, with a final glance at my zombie like reflection, opened the door.

As I walked into Mia's room to find her headphones to borrow I heard Liam open the door. I didn't think much of it at first until I heard his voice asking for me. I crept to the end of the hallway to listen in without being seen.

"I don't think that's a good idea right now," Liam told him. By the tone of his voice I knew he wouldn't let him in, but felt bad for his friend.

"Please just let me explain to her what happened, I just need her to  know my side of things," I heard Louis's voice try to reason with Liam. He sounded desperate, like he did when I was getting into the cab.

"I'm sorry Lou, maybe tomorrow. I don't think tonight is the right time." though my back was facing them I could easily visual Liam shaking his head as he talked.

"But what if she breaks up with me? Liam, she needs to know what happened," his voiced died down before he whispered something quietly so I couldn't hear.

I heard Liam sigh and after a moment of silence he spoke again. "I won't let her make any decisions until you two talk, okay? But you have to go. Go home, get some sleep mate. You need it."

I could tell they weren't going to be talking for much longer and tip toed back to Mia's room and pretended to have just found the head phones when Liam's figure appeared in the doorway. I smiled weakly at him as I stuck them in my ears and started to play my music; I didn't want to talk to anyone, not right then. I wanted to take a while and think things through for myself before I spoke to anyone about it.

As I laid on Mia's bed I stared at the ceiling light in hopes of burning the image of Louis and Ashlyn from my head. Ashlyn was in the UK, she was here. Why was she here? How was she? Maybe they planned on meeting there and Louis really is cheating on me. Maybe thats why he was on his phone the entire time afterwards, and had been so protective of it lately. I used to be able to take it and would take random pictures and then give it back later, but he didn't even let me use it to call Mia the other day. It would explain his weird behavior, and Mia did say this was how Niall was acting before we found out about Tessa and Milo...

A voice from the back of my mind reminded me that her dad took business trips here from time to time, and it was believable she had persuaded him to take her with. And it wasn't like Lou had kept it a major secret we were planning on going to the concert, so she could have easily of known with a little research...

As badly as I wanted to believe the voice I couldn't. Maybe I had jumped into our relationship too fast, maybe everything happened too fast. When I said yes to him just a little over a month ago, part of me expected something like this to happen but I didn't want to believe it. I should of said no, I should of waited until I knew I was able to date him without Ashlyn being a constant thought and threat in the back of my mind. I should of waited until I knew everything that happened with Zach was behind me, or mostly.

We jumped into our relationship, and maybe I was okay with that at the time because I was still desperately wishing Lou was mine even though I said otherwise. It was that moment of weakness where my wants overtook my voice of reason, but then Louis was sweet and a perfect gentleman and I started to think that it was actually a good decision.

Idiot. Now look where I was at, curled into a pathetic ball on Mia's bed at Liam's place while blaring music as I bawled my eyes out. And once again, the cause of my misery was Ashlyn.


AUTHORS NOTE: Sorry! Had to split into two parts!
