Chapter 16

Kate's POV

"You ready?" Niall asks as he offers his arm to me. 

"Ready as ever" I say to him 

Tonight was the party for the tour tomorrow. It seems weird to me to have a party for someone leaving for so long, but I guess its like a going away party. Only friends, family, and paparrazzi will be there. They are everywhere. 

I hook my arm around his, exiting the house. With nothing but a goodbye from my mum. Liam had already left. 

Niall opens his car door for me. 

I wore a simple summer-type-forever 21 type thing on. I didn't want to seem over dressed, nor under dressed. So I think I was right inbetween. 

He starts the car, moving out of the drive way  

Half way through the drive there was when the conversation started. 

"You look beautiful" He switches his sight to me and the road. "I mean you always do but you- I have no clue what I'm saying" 

I laugh at his cuteness. "And you look extremely handsome" I stare blankly, taking in one of the last moment. 

"Kate stop" He has been making sure I stopped thinking about him leaving. 

I rest my head on the car window. "I know" I answer semi-annoyed. 

No words were spoken until we got there. We enter through the doors with such confidence. Arm in arm. 

I search around trying to spot anyone I know. My eyes focus on the rest of the boys. Everyone else was a blur. 

This party was nothing I've ever been to. It was like a nightclub and a wedding mixed. It was weird. 

We found our seats, I sat for hours on end, hoping to find something or someone interesting. I was beyond bored. I had no interest in being somewhere that's celebrating my boyfriend leaving for nearly 10 months. I was not excited, I was sad. I was almost at a crying point. I held back the tears as Niall came back from talking to someone I dont know. 

"Hey babe- are you okay?" His voice changes so quickly. 

"Yeah, I'm fine really" He sinks down to my level. Me staring down at him.

He runs his thumb across my cheek, causing me to look back at him. "Hey don't cry" He starts, but gets interupted by Harry. 

"Hey mate, can I talk to her?" He asks Niall instead of me. As if I was a child or pet or something. 

Niall stares at me, waiting for a response. 

"It's okay, I can handle myself" I half joked. 

Niall walks away back to the fancy couple at the drink table. Leaving me and Harry alone.
