Chapter 18

I snuck up behind Louis, and smirking widely, eerily said in his ear, "Boo." He jumped about a foot in the air and said, "You scared me, Meg!" I laughed and he replied, "You're gonna pay for that!" He chased me around the room and finally caught me. Lou picked me up and carried me fireman style out into the living room and flopped me down on the couch. "Hey boys?" Louis yelled, smirking widely. "No! No, Lou-" Louis covered my mouth with his hand and continued yelling for the boys until they all arrived. I was laughing as Louis picked me up and sat down, "So boys... Think it's time to give Megan a taste of the 1D Games?"

"...So let me get this straight- It's nerf gun tag, psycho, hide and go seek, and capture the flag?" I asked, and the boys nodded, but Harry added, "And one more thing..." Louis' grip on me tightened so that I couldn't get up. He began tickling me furiously as Harry and Liam joined in, along with Niall and Zayn. I was screaming in fits of laughter and flailing my arms and legs. Harry and Liam were tickling my feet, Louis was tickling my stomache, and Niall and Zayn were tickling my neck and anywhere else that I was ticklish. They finally stopped and yelled, "Go!" Harry and Niall ran down the corridor towards the gaming room, followed by Liam and Zayn... Which left Louis and I. "We're a tag team, Meg! The nerf guns are in the gaming room." He smiled, swiftly picking me up and piggybacking me into the gaming room. We grabbed our nerf guns and began searching the house for the boys. I ended up shooting Harry and Liam, and Louis got Niall and Zayn. We high fived, and we all met back downstairs to play psycho.

"There are no teams for this game. It's every person for themselves." Zayn said, and we all picked a piece of paper from the hat. We all separated ways, and I hid in my room. The jail was in Louis' room, and I had no idea who the psycho was. I heard footsteps outside my room, and I heard a screaming Liam running down the stairs. I stifled my laugh and decided to be daring, and I went out into the hallway. I ventured upstairs, and I heard footsteps behind me. I began running down the hallway, and I dove into Niall's room. The door creaked open as I hid in the room. "Come out, come out, wherever you are..." The psycho was Harry. I smiled and looked around- but before I had a chance to escape, Harry had pounced over the bed and grabbed my arm. "No!" I yelled, laughing as he began pulling me towards him. I slipped from his grasp and began crawling towards the door, but Harry jumped on me, and we both slammed into the ground. I laughed as he picked me up and said, "Nice try, Meg..." He put me in Louis' room, and I saw Louis sitting there, with a defeated look on his face. Harry smirked and said, "I thought you two would be the hardest to get!" And with that, he was chasing Zayn down the hall, who was screaming bloody murder. I shut the door and sat next to Louis, whose face was saddened. "Hey, it's okay! At least we're in jail together." His arms wrapped around me, and I smiled. I was happy to finally be back with Louis and spend time with him.

He saved me.
