Part 7

*JAY'S POV*


I can't believe that Katy has never heard of The Wanted. I thought that everyone knew who we were; even if they hated us.


But she really has no idea who we are. She is absolutely clueless.


I guess that's a good thing because at least she isn't going to be accused of using us just for our fame. Or people aren't going to say she's some crazed fan who is only pretending not to know who we are.


Because she genuinely hasn't heard of us. She has no idea what songs we sing. She hasn't got a clue about who we all are. And she knows nothing about any of us.


I guess that's a good thing though because at least she will get to know all sides of us. Not just the sides that certain people know about; although most people know exactly what we're like and they still love us.


But that's only if she decides to stick around for long enough to get to know us all. I really hope that she does because all I really want to do, is prove to her that we're not all heartless twats who don't give a damn about anyone but themselves.


I just want to show her that some of do actually care and all I want to do is help her. And that's what I'm going to do.


I'm going to help her and I'm going to show her that there are ways other than pushing everyone that loves you away and running away everytime a problem appears. There are better ways which will make her feel so much happier and I'm going to make sure she knows about them...


*KATY'S POV*


I can't believe that I've never heard of Jay's band. From what he's been telling me, they're pretty big yet I have no idea who the hell they are.


All this running away that I keep doing really isn't helping very much. I have no idea what is going on with anything and I don't even know who's hot and who's not right now. I really do need to catch up with all that, don't want to spend my whole time looking like a complete idiot because I don't know who people are.


"Right, let me introduce you to Nathan properly..." Jay smiled as he moved the plates away from the table and placed them on the side. I'm sure they wouldn't be cleaned any time soon since the other pile of plates, bowls and glasses were still towering over each other on the side.


"Okay then. He's not really the sexual devient he comes across as, is he?" I chuckled slightly.


"No he isn't. He's actually really nice and I think you two are going to get along very well!" he replied.


"That's good then, I guess I do need some friends in my life..."


"Well you've already got two. You've got me and you've got Nathan!"


"Two is better than none!" I smiled back at him as he walked out of the room, pressumably to get Nathan from wherever he was.


I wasn't really in any position to keep turning kindness away from me when it was given to me so willingly and they weren't running a mile when they saw me.


I did need to start trusting people or I would just be spending my life alone. And I really didn't want that. I'd spent far too much time alone and it was time that I brought that to an end.


"So, Jay here tells me that you've never heard of me and my amazing band!" Nathan joked as he walked into the kitchen, earning him a slap on the arm from Jay.


"Oh, so you single handly made your band big then, did you?" I laughed back at him.


"Obviously. The other four are just backing singers, I make them look good..." he winked, taking a seat at the table opposite me. I'm guessing he was the one who liked to think he was funny and enjoyed making people smile just by being an idiot.


I liked it though. So I wasn't going to make any comments.


"Now tell her the truth!" Jay laughed as he took his seat next to me again.


"Okay, I'm joking. I'm Nathan Sykes, 19 years old, from Gloucester and I'm socially awkward!" he said with a friendly smile on his face. Now that I listened properly to him, you could tell that he was from Gloucester but I never would have guessed that he was 19. I mean, he's got the features of a younger person but he's also extremely attractive and I would have said he was in his 20s at least.


"Nice to meet you Nathan Sykes. I'm Katy Warren, 20 years old, from London and I have nothing!" I replied, returning the smile to him at the same time.


"And it's nice to meet you Katy Warren. I take it Jay has already said he's going to introduce you to the rest of the band..."


"How did you guess?" I chuckled.


"A little birdie told me. Don't worry though, I'm sure you'll get along with all of them, especially Siva. He can be quite shy, bit like you really, but once you get to know him then he's actually a really awesome guy, just like you probably are..."


"What, an awesome guy?" I laughed at him.


"Oh, you know what I mean..."


"Jay was right about you!"


"Oh yeah, and what did Jay say about me?"


"He just said that you and me were going to get along very well and I think he was right. I hope we can be friends..." I smiled at him.


"I'd like to think that we are already friends!" he smiled back at me as he stood up from his seat and walked over to me. Next thing I knew, there was a pair of arms around me so I just put my arms around him as well to hug him back.


It was slightly awkward but it wasn't that bad. And it actually felt nice to have someone hugging me supposed to pushing me away from them when I asked for help.


"Well that was unexpected..." I giggled as he pulled away from me.


"Yeah, sorry about that. Anyway, I'm off to bed now since we've gotta be up to go to the studio tomorrow. I'll see you in the morning..." Nathan smiled at both me and Jay before he left the room, allowing the dor to close quietly behind him as he did so. Leaving just me and Jay sat there in the little light that there was left in the room.


"So, you want to meet the boys tomorrow or is that too soon for you?" Jay asked.


"I don't really mind. Can meet them tomorrow, but as long as they come back here because I don't really want to be seen out with you. No offence..."


"None taken, I know what you mean and that's fine. I'll invite them back here and we can get a pizza or something to eat..." he smiled at me,


"That sounds good to me!"


"Good. I'd also better be off to bed or I won't get up tomorrow, I'll see you in the morning!"


"Yeah, I'll see you in the morning..." I smiled back at him, his blue eyes looking even better as the moonlight reflected off them and his warm smile which filled me with a feeling that I'd never know before.


It was the feeling that someone did actualy care about me. That someone did actually want to help me. That someone did really want to be my friend and they weren't pretending, just because they felt sorry for me.


You might think that's stupid.


But when you've been alone for as long as I have now, you would understand what I mean and you would know the feeling that I'm talking about.


"You're not going to disappear in the middle of the night are you?" Jay chuckled slightly.


"No Jay. I'll still be here in the morning, promise!" I said, a soft smile finding its way onto my lips as I spoke. I don't think I've ever smiled as much as I have done today.


"Goodnight then!" he replied as he did the same thing that Nathan did. He threw his arms around me and pulled me into a bone crushing hug, but I didn't say anything. I just threw my arms around him in return and hugged him back.


But it wasn't awkward like it was with Nathan. I don't know if that's because I knew more about Jay and already considered him a friend or if it was because he was one of the first people to actually care about me and show me that he wasn't like all the other people out there.


I don't really know, but I liked the hug and like the happiness that flowed through me when he did hug me.


It was a feeling that I hadn't felt in a while now.


"Night Jay..." I smiled at him as he pulled away.


"Night Katy..." she smiled back and with that, he was gone.


I saw left alone with just my thoughts and my memories. It was then that I realised I had to stop pushing people away from me and I had to appreciate the people that I had in my life. Which meant that I had a lot of bridge building to do.


I pulled my phone out of my pocket and scrolled through my contacts until I reached the name I was looking for. This was either going to go really badly or really well.


I know which one I hope it is...
