I'm Just Another Friend

Chapter Twelve; Seeing Her Broken

When we walked in my heart dropped. Caitlin was breathing heavily; her shirt was lying on the bedside table but she was covered by a thin white sheet. I took her hand "Hey babe, they told us you'd be just fine." i smiled weakly as she nodded. "Yeah.... They stuck a large metal thing in me and I was sure I was dead!!" she giggled. Niall walked up to her and kissed her cheek "I'm so sorry Caitlin, I was supposed to protect you and I couldn't." she met his eyes sharply. "Niall it wasn't your fault, people are stupid and can't be controlled. Don't blame this one yourself okay?" he nodded.

Caitlin's P.O.V.
I sat up with a bit of help and hugged everyone. Harry kissed my cheek and whispered "I'm glad you're okay." i smiled at him. Lou decided to stay the night, with much protest from me, while the rest of the boys go home-cuz i made them. "Louis," i pulled him down on the bed and kissed his jaw "I love you." he smiled down at me. "I love you too beautiful." he was still holding something back, I didn't like it. "Lou," he looked at me tense. "You do know that it wasn't your fault right?" he leaned down and captured my lips with his swiftly.
"Caitlin, I felt something was about to go wrong.... then-then you were well shot; I should have made you leave...." i layed butterfly kisses down his jawline and neck making him tense up more then sigh softly. "You didn't know anything more than us Lou, so don't go pulling a Niall."
