Behind Closed Doors

Chapter 12

Chapter 12: So um..basically we're alone.

Lia's POV

Okay. Don't move, don't move, don't move.......IT MOVED! I'm gonna die!

"AAH!! Its going to kill me, save me! Somebody help me!" I screamed as the giant, hairy  spider approached me!

"What's going on?!" HE walked in to my room, oh yeah I call Harry ' HE '

"S-s-spider!" I stuttered .

"WHERE?!" He screamed clutching onto my arm ! Great! Note sarcasm......

"OH MY GOD THERE'S ANOTHER ONE!!!" I screamed as I hugged HIM ! And surprisingly he hugged back. And if that wasn't enough, the power had to go out that exact moment! Did I mention I'm terrified of the dark? No? Okay... And to top it off it was raining hard outside! And thundering as well! And I always cry out of fear when its thundering. I don't wanna cry in front of Harry. He'll think I'm weak.

"AAH!" I shrieked as it thundered.

"Hey, are you okay?" He actually looked concerned

"Yeah," I sniffed.

"No you're not, you're crying. You're afraid of lightning aren't you?" He asked.

"Maybe," I sniffed.

"C'mon, lets get outta here," he chuckled. I nodded, but kept hugging him .

Harry's POV

"Um, where is everybody?" She asked wiping her red, puffy eyes. She looked so beautiful. It's too bad she hates my guts. I didn't even do anything! Okay, well I hid in her closet, but still.... I apologised already!

"Well, Aria told me they had to go out and do something," I said. "I didn't really pay attention."

"Clearly." She rolled her eyes playfully.

"So um... basically we're alone." I smirked .

"Oh." She said nervously.

"Do I make you nervous?" I asked, taking a step closer to her, she took a step backwards.

"You? Yeah, right PFFT! " She stuttered nervously. "Well um I gotta go over to a friend's. So um, I'm gonna go change." She headed for her room.

"You know the spiders are still there right?" I asked.

I watched her freeze partway down the corridor, before turning around and staring at me. "Um..... can you please come with me?" She muttered.

"Sure!" I grinned.

We arrived outside the spider-infested bathroom, but rather than going in Lia opened a door on the other side of the hall and took out two water guns. She glared at me distrustfully before handing me one. "I'm trusting you not to soak me," she said.

I could feel myself smirking. "Can't make any promises there babe."

She blushed and then scowled at me. "Just aim at the freaking spiders!" She snapped, before charging into the bathroom with a warcry.

I watched Lia's long red and brown hair swinging through the air, as she started spinning around in the middle of the bathroom, firing water in random directions.

"Hey! I yelled, as water splatted across my shirt. I wasn't even in the bathroom yet! She stopped spinning and smirked at me, then suddenly froze in place, staring at me with wide eyes.
