Midnight Memories (A Niall Horan Fanfic)

Chapter 12

Author's Note

Happy late Valentine's Day. Hope you all had a wonderful time. Sorry for the long waits but school and homework are time consuming. Hope you like it and I promise I'm already working on the next chapter. :D

"What now?" Vane asked. She was sitting on my bed watching me change shoes.

"We'll we need to get them to the hotel,"  I replied, not having vomited by the way.

"I know that but how do we sneak out?" She asked exasperated.

"Mmm, through the kitchen window." I proposed.

"Are you sure that's possible?" 

"Yes, it leads to the driveway so if we make noise it's less likely to be heard, come on." I said tiptoeing down the stairs without turning the light on. We walked in to the kitchen and closed the door and turned on the light.

Being as silent as possible, I opened the window where we could see the boys huddled together talking. 

"Hey guys." I whispered to grab their attention. They all turned.

"There's a ladder behind this desk," I said pointing.  "-can you bring it near the window so we can come down?" I asked.

"Preferably the one who is least drunk," Vane added. We all giggled silently. At last we saw Niall and Liam carrying it towards us.

"Please hold it tight," Vane said "I'd rather not die so young." 

"Don't worry my love I'll be waiting here to catch you." Harry replied, which would have been more romantic if he didn't sound as drunk as Haymitch. Louis and Josh giggled.

"Ready when you are." Liam said. 

"Go Vane, you first." I said.

"No you go first, you're too clumsy to go in the dark."  

"Fine," I got on the window sill and turned around as to be facing the kitchen, feeling around with my right foot for the ladder. I found it and the boys gave me the okay to climb down.  Niall helped me down the last few steps. The lights went out and we heard Vane at the window. Our eyes adjusted to the dark, and we could see her figure.

"Is it safe to come down?" She asked before touching around for the ladder.  

"Yep, I'm right here to catch you" Harry replied.

Vane found the ladder and slowly climbed down. At that moment we heard movement near us and we all stood still. My heart was racing and my palms were sweaty. Then a meowing reached our ears and Max, our white and gray cat, came out of the bushes asking for attention. 

"You stupid cat," Vane whispered descending once again. Max responded with an, not even kidding, offended meow. 

"You're not a stupid kitty are you?" Louis said reaching down to pick her up, Vane rolled her eyes.

Max replied meowing and purring, letting Louis and Harry pet her. 

"You're such a good boy." Louis commented.

"Actually, Max is a girl." Vane replied. "Are we ready to leave?" 

Max saw her land and jumped out of Louis hands and ran to her.

"You're gonna have to wait till we come back," Vane said petting her.  "Now let's go before we get caught." She ushered. 

"Love you Max." Louis said waving at her as we walked into the street once more.

We climbed into both cars once again, Vane making sure Liam was sober enough to drive.  When we got to the hotel we parked the cars and went inside.
