Stole My Heart

Chapter 7

I glanced over at Niall, but he wouldn’t look at me. He just stared at the floor. I felt guilty for letting Harry kiss me and not trying to stop it. As much as I hated to admit it, I did really like Niall. It was easy for me to talk to him and it felt like I’ve known him my whole life, even if I only had known him a few days. I sat back down on the floor and Harry made his way back to his seat too. I took a sip of my drink, trying to forget what just happened.

Niall’s POV

The second I saw Harry and Catherine kiss I felt my heart drop. When I first met Catherine and started talking to her, I fell for her a little bit, but once the boys started mocking me for liking her I just tried to get the thought completely out of my head. I could tell Harry kind of liked her too. He has been talking about her nonstop for the past few days.

“I want to play hide and seek!” Zayn whined.

Everyone laughed at him and mocked him for wanting to play hide and seek. We all decided that if we were going to play a game as ridiculous as hide and seek we should at least try to make it more interesting so we split up into teams so it was almost like manhunt. The rules were one team hid while the other team counted to 100, and then you would try to find the team members that were hiding. Once you were found you had to sit in “jail” which was the couch in the living room that was guarded by someone on the other team. Too get out of jail you need someone from your team to tag you without getting caught. Once everyone was in jail the game was over.

“Ok so teams.” Louis stood up and started putting people in teams. “My team will be Zayn, Mairead, and Harry. Catherine, Niall and Liam you’re on a team together.”

I wasn’t sure if I was happy that Catherine was on my team or not because she could tell something was wrong with me and I didn’t feel like talking about it right now, especially not with her.

“Ok is everyone ready?” Zayn shouted. “Go!”

Zayn, Louis, Mairead and Harry all started counting and Catherine Liam and I all ran off in different directions.

I ran into the guest room where Catherine was staying tonight and hid under the bed. I heard a noise and tried to see who it was without being seen. It was Catherine. She was looking around not knowing where to go. I should’ve helped her since this was her first time in the house and she had no idea where she was going.

“100!” I heard everyone on the other team scream.

Catherine just ran into the closet real quick since it was better than nothing, but someone was bound to find her soon.

A few minutes had passed until I heard someone walk into the room. I could tell buy there smell it was Louis, and of course he looked in the closet first.

“Found you!” he shouted.

“Not fair!” Catherine protested.

“Yeah tell it to Harry when your in jail.” Louis laughed leaving the room with Catherine.

Just great. Harry was jail keeper so now he has a perfect opportunity to move in on Catherine. I had to think of a way to get to her without Harry seeing me, and fast.

Catherine’s POV

Louis brought me down to the couch where Harry was sitting and waiting.

“Well look what we have here.” Harry said with a cheeky smile.

Louis left as soon as Harry saw me. I sat down next to him.

“I’m surprised they caught you so fast. I thought you would be good at this game.” Harry said
