New chapter. Please leave a review :)
Carlos' POV:
I was beyond angry. Katie had a hand print on her face and she would not tell me who did it. I had a feeling I knew who it was though. I was hugging her, letting her
cry into my chest. "It was Mark, wasn't it?" I questioned, fearing the answer. Katie just shook her head yes. Why was I not paying better attention to her? She just
walked down the isle from me, and I did not even notice that Mark hurt her? He could have killed her and it would have been all my fault. I'm the worst. "Katie, I'm
so sorry" I whispered, rubbing circles on her back. I noticed that some people were giving us weird looks, so I carried Katie to the park and sat us down on the bench.
"I'm really sorry, Katie" I continued to say. Katie looked up at me, and the amount of pain in her eyes made me want to die. "Sorry for what?" Katie asked. "I should
have been watching you better" I said. I was extremely angry with myself. "It's not your fault, I was the one who left to get the milk. None of us knew that Mark
would be there" Katie said. I still felt guilty. "I'm sorry" I said again. Katie hugged me and said, "Don't be, I'm fine." I knew she was trying to make me feel not
guilty. I gently grabbed her face and observed the hand print that Mark left. "You're not fine. Mark hurt you again" I said. It was going to leave a bad bruise, that's
for sure. Katie just looked at the floor, and I could tell there was more to the story. "Is that all that Mark did to you?" I questioned, suddenly getting more worried.
"He pushed me into a shelf" Katie said, not taking her eyes off the floor. How did I not hear that happening? "What else, Katie?" I asked, knowing there was more.
Katie suddenly started crying and buried her face in my chest. I let her cry for as long as she needed to, waiting until she was ready to talk. "It's alright, Katie. Mark
is gone" I whispered. When her crying settled down, I asked, "What else happened?" Katie stayed quiet for a few more seconds before talking. "Mark told me he
would make sure that I lost against him in court." I was so angry. I hate Mark with all of my heart. Mark better not win. "Katie, it's okay. He's losing. Don't worry.
He's just trying to scare you so you aren't focused on winning" I said. Katie continued crying, "He also said that he would make my death slow and painful once I lost
the case for telling on him." How could Mark threaten her like that? Hasn't he done enough? I wanted to hurt him so much more than he ever hurt Katie. He's the one
who deserves a painful death. "He's not going to touch you ever again, Katie. He won't kill you, I won't let him" I said. Katie suddenly looked up at me, fear in her
eyes. I wanted to take all of her pain away. "He told me not to tell anyone about anything that happened in the store today. He said he's going to kill one of you
guys. He can't kill you. I wish I never told you" Katie cried. "Katie, calm down. He's not going to kill anyone. Shh, it's okay" I said, pulling Katie in for another hug.
"He can't kill any of you guys" Katie screamed. I just held her, waiting until she was a little calmer. "He won't. Just don't worry about that now. Soon, he'll be in jail.
He's not killing anybody" I softly said. We sat there like that for a long while, until my phone started ringing. I took it out and saw the caller id. It was James. I did
not know if I should tell the rest of the guys about Mark, but they would be suspicious when they saw Katie's face. I knew if I told them, Kendall and James would go
and kill Mark. But, we were so close to having him locked up, and I can't let them do anything stupid. I sighed before answering my phone. "Hey" I said. "What's
taking so long, all you had to get was milk?" James said, sounding a little worried. "We're on our way home, I'll see you soon" I said before quickly hanging up. I
would tell them when I got home so that way I could make sure that they did not do anything stupid, like go find Mark.
James' POV:
"That was weird" I said after Carlos hung up on me. "What?" Kendall questioned. "Carlos is just acting strange" I answered. Before anyone could say anything else,
the front door opened. Carlos walked in first, but then Katie slowly walked in. She was just keeping her head down, looking at the floor. "Is everything okay?" Kendall
asked, noticing Katie. I noticed Carlos with a guilty look on his face, and he opened his mouth to say something. Right before he did, he was interrupted. "Are you
sick?" Logan said, walking over to Katie and lifting her head so he could feel for a fever. Right when I saw her face, my blood ran cold. Everyone froze what they were
doing, and before anybody reacted, Katie ran into her room and slammed the door. "Carlos, what happened to her?" Kendall yelled. "Mark showed up at the store. I
didn't mean to get distracted, but I let her out of my sight for a few minutes while she was getting the milk. When she came back she told me Mark was there" Carlos
said, crying. I was so angry. I know it's not Carlos' fault, but how could he let this happen? "So he is stalking Katie" Logan said. That made me even more angrier.
"I'm sorry guys, I should have never let her out of my sight" Carlos said, still crying. "You shouldn't have, but it's not your fault" I said. I heard a crash, and I turned
around to see Kendall knocking the table over. "Kendall, calm down" I said, knowing just how angry he was feeling. Believe me, I felt like knocking stuff over too.
"I'm going to kill Mark" Kendall whispered. "Me too" I said. I really wanted to find him, and cause him so much pain. He deserved to die. Why couldn't he just leave
Katie alone? "Don't do anything stupid, he will be locked away soon" Carlos said. I knew he was right. But, I felt so much guilt. We promised Katie that we would
never let Mark anywhere near her again, or ever hurt her again. But, he ended up hurting her. "We are the worst" I said. Kendall and Carlos nodded in agreement. I
noticed that Logan went to check on Katie. "Come on, we have to make sure Katie is alright" I said. I still wanted to go kill Mark.
Katie's POV:
I was hiding in my room, in my closet. I did not want to talk to anyone right now. I know that I deserve what Mark did to me. I was crying really hard that I did not
notice Logan coming into my room, until he sat down next to me and put his arm around me. I looked up at him, and I could tell how angry he was about Mark
showing up. "It's okay" Logan said. "When will this end?" I whispered. I looked down at the floor, trying to hide the pain in my eyes. I hated how everyone felt bad
for me. "Don't worry. It's almost over" Logan whispered. "Why does he always have to be the places I go?" I screamed. I was just getting angrier by every day that
passed. "He's sick. He has problems. He should not have ever hurt you. He's going to pay for what he did" Logan said. I tried to stop the tears, but they just kept
coming. "Maybe I deserve what mark did to me" I said. It was true, I did. "Katie, don't say that. You don't deserve any of that. You need to believe that. You are the
nicest person in this world and you are the last person in this world to ever deserve that. Never think that anything you do made you deserve that. No matter what"
Logan said, starting to cry. I did not reply. Suddenly, the rest of the guys came running in my room. When they saw me, their expressions changed from anger to
sorrow. That made me feel so weak. They all sat down around me. "Baby sister, don't cry. You will never get hurt by anybody again" Kendall said, pulling me in for a
hug. "But, Mark knows where I am at all times. He is going to get me alone again" I cried. I remembered his threats. "Don't listen to anything that stupid Mark says"
James said. "He knows that I told you guys about him today, he's going to kill one of you guys" I screamed. I felt my heart beating really fast, and my breathing got
really fast. I pushed away from Kendall and screamed, "I can't let him kill any of you. Please stay away from him!" I felt Kendall grab my shoulders and heard him
say, "Katie, breathe. It's okay. You don't have to worry about us. He will not kill anybody." I felt my breathing slowly getting back to normal. "But, he will" I cried,
falling into kendall's chest. "Katie, in a few days, he will be locked up" Carlos said. "Yeah, just focus on winning against him in court, and once he's locked up, he
won't be able to do anything" James said. I nodded, starting to feel better. "It's getting late. How about I put some ice on your face since it's getting swollen where
Mark hit you, and then we go to sleep" Logan said. "You can sleep in my room tonight, Baby sister. While you get ice for your face, I'll get your pillows and put them
on my bed" Kendall said. I smiled, they were the best brothers ever. Logan grabbed my hand and helped me up. He walked me into the kitchen and got some ice for
me. "Just hold it on your face for a few minutes" He said, sitting down across from me. It felt cold and uncomfortable at first, but I got use to it. "Does it hurt that
bad?" Logan questioned, giving me a worried look. "No, I'm already use to Mark hitting me, so I don't even notice the pain that much" I said. Logan just gave me a
sad look. "The bed is set up, Baby sister" kendall walked in the kitchen and said. I let him pick me up and carry me to bed. I was too tired. Before I knew it, he was
singing me to sleep and I closed my eyes. Hopefully there would be no nightmares tonight.
Hope you like it. I'll try and update sometime tomorrow. Please, leave a review and let me know what you think! :)
