The Letter. THE CHANGE. The
Lie.
Chapter 86:
July 19
*Katia's POV*
"Morning Styles," I said as I walked into the
kitchen. Homemade muffins were sitting in a nice pile on the
counter. Suspiciously I picked one up and smelled it.
"What are you doing?" he
asked me from his spot on the stool.
"Trying to figure out what you
did to them, you made them right?"
He nodded. "But I swear I
didn't do anything to them. Have some faith."
"Well," I started. I took
a bite of the delicious blueberry muffin. "If you aren't
trying to kill me off than you need something."
"Can't I just make a nice
breakfast for my room mate without needing something?" he
pretended to be offended.
"You can, but you don't.
You haven't made me these all summer. So what do you
need?"
"I need you to cover for me. I
made plans to hang out with Autumn this afternoon but Simon
called and we have a band meeting today." he
confessed.
I swallowed before asking,
"And how does this effect me to a point that you made
delicious food? What's the recipe for these? Goodness they
are good!"
"I was wondering if you would
spend the afternoon with her," he told me, conveniently
ignoring my question about the muffins.
"What? Why don't you just
cancel your plans with her and reschedule like a normal
person?" I asked. "We have never spent time together-or
even talked- except for when I come here and you two
are..."
"Yeah I know," he
interrupted. "I've tried to get her to come over
sometime when everyone was here but she's shy."
I shot him a look to tell him that
I disagreed. "Please Katia. Please, please, please, please
please!"
I looked at the begging boy before
sighing in exasperation. "Fine! But you owe me, muffins are
not going to cover the awkward afternoon I'm about to
have."
"Thank you! You're picking
her up at two at her place."
"Uhh one problem," I
said. "No mode of transportation."
He frowned as he realized I was
right. "Well... umm..."
"Oh well. Guess we can't
hang out today. What a shame," I sarcastically said as I
walked away.
Honestly I don't feel like
Autumn is fond of me; she has never talked to me or even made an
attempt. I don't think any of the other guys have met her
either... maybe she is shy. But I still don't think she likes
me, I've walked in and ruined way to many of their
moments.
"You can take my car, I'll
have Lou give me a ride." He had a smug grin on his face,
and looked quite proud that he thought of a solution to his
problem.
"Okay," I said after a
moment.
Why shouldn't Louis pick him
up? They're best friends, I'd have Mia give me a ride.
Plus, we are just taking a break; we don't hate each other.
We can be around each other without it being weird, right?
Maybe I'll just hide inside
today.
I grabbed another muffin before
walking over to the couch. I plopped down and grabbed the remote.
Harry was running around trying to get ready in time. For some
reason he found the need to take a long shower so now he was
scrunched for time. It didn't bother me any, I just watched
the news. People need to be informed on what is happening in the
world.
"Harry!" I called from
the couch. "You're late!"
"You don't say?" he
called from his room.
"Well, now you're really
late! Your ride is here!" I told him. He didn't reply
right away and I would bet money that he was cursing as he
scrambled to find clothes.
"Answer it! I'm sure he
wants to see you anyway!"
I grimaced; I hadn't told him
that Louis and I were no longer together. Some people might say I
should have, but I felt like that wasn't my place to. I felt
like Louis had the right to tell him. I had to debate quickly on
whether to answer the door or not. In the end I decided to open
the door.
