They Don't Know About Us

Chapter 16

AUBREE'S POV

"Stay here," Harry whispered across the huge basement. Harry leant over the couch and covered both of Louis and Niall's noses. They jolted up in sync looking around gasping for air. Harry signaled for them to be quiet, and they responded by pointing to something standing at the top of the stairs. Harry tensed up and something in his facial expression changed.

Harry's eyes flashed to me and then back to the top of the stairs. I got up quietly and found the nearest closet. I opened the closet and slipped in, quietly shutting it behind me.

All I could hear now was two people arguing and footsteps coming down the stairs. I watched through the tiny crack between the two sliding doors and saw Niall and Louis jump onto the couch where me and Harry used to be located. I couldn't help but shake.

Louis and Niall carried on a pointless conversation on the couch. I can hear Harry yelling at someone from the other half of the basement. They stopped arguing, when Louis stood up defensively.

I suddenly tensed up feeling someone's presence near the door. My breathing got faster and louder. I put my hand over my mouth so that you couldn't hear anything. I didn't know if it was Harry near the door or the unwanted visitor. I knew it wasn't Niall or Louis because they were still near the couch.

"So, Harry where are you hiding her?" Someone asked. I knew that voice anywhere.

It was Mark. He was here and he wasn't alone. Louis and Niall came closer to the door slowly. God they are such idiots. You don't move closer to the place you are hiding someone!

I could see one arm on the door handle and then another. I slowly backed up to the back corner of the closet.

I couldn't breath at all now. The knobs on the door slowly turned opening the closet door to reveal Mark. I was pushed to the corner or the closet where it was dark and behind a couple coats and closet hangers. I could see Mark but he obviously could not see me.

His dark eyes scanned the closet but not entering it. I held my breath cautiously. I was frozen in the closet.

Thank god Louis or Niall did not protest from him entering the closet. That would have given away my hiding spot. Harry was smart enough not to do that though.

Mark slammed the closet shut and stormed up the stairs. I let out a large breath and started gasping for air.

The closet was yanked open by Harry and I was engulfed in a huge bear hug and a kiss on the cheek.

I wrapped my arms around his neck and wouldn't let him go for the life of me. I looked past Harry's shoulder to see a smiling and Louis who was "aweing" at us, and a giggling Niall. What else is new Niall laughs at everything and Louis has the love bug infection.

I don't know what I would do if I didn't have these guys.
