Hide and Seek h.s

Chapter 7

He slammed the door behind him and me and Niall just stared at it, shocked.

All of a sudden Niall's phone started to ring.

"Shit!" Niall shouted, placing a hand over his heart. He answered the phone rolling his eyes.

"Heeeeeloooooo?"

"What, now?"

"I'm busy"

"But- I-"

"Uhhhhhh, your a dick!"

"Okay, bye"

He then hung up.

"Wow, interesting conversations you have" I smirk at him. He laughs before saying

"I'm really sorry but that was my brother and I need to go and look after him because my parents aren't home. He's only 11" he explains.

"That's fine" I smile at him "who calls their 11 year old brother a dick?"

"People who have 11 year old brothers. They are so annoying" he says.

"Have you got to leave now?" I ask

"Yeah, I'm sorry! I was having fun, I will walk you back though" he offers.

"No it's okay, I'm going to have a walk around for a bit and then go home" I say for some reason.

"Are you sure Bethan? I don't like the idea of you being out here alone" he frowns. His concern makes me smile.

"I'm 17. I can handle the ghosts" I smile.

"Are you sure?" he asks again.

"Yes! Now go back and look after your brother" I laugh. He hugs me and says goodbye.

After he disappears from view I look towards the house again. The reason I wanted to stay behind was so that I could apologise. I felt really nosy and disrespectful.

I walked up to the door and knocked it lightly.

It swung open quickly.

"For fucks sakes what do you want!?!" he shouts.

I was startled by his outburst.

"I- I came to apologise. I'm sorry. I was just curious" I said, as bravely as I could.

"Curious? Curious to come and laugh at the freak?" he laughs a sarcastic, harsh laugh.

"No, I just wanted to-"

"Look Bethan, I think it's best if you leave because I'm really not in the mood" he snaps.

"O- okay, I will leave now" I stuttered. I thought my stutter had gone. I sounded pathetic (a.n - no offence if you have a stutter because I used to :)).

"Wait, so your boyfriend just left you out here alone?" he asks.

"He's not my boyfriend! And yes he had to go and look after his brother"

"Well Mary Poppins mustn't be a very good boyfriend if he ditches you for his brother" he smirks.

"He's not my boyfriend! And he offered to take me home but I said no so I could apologise to you" I mumble.

He sighs and rubs his hands over his face.

"Look do you want to come inside?" he asks, looking down at me through his long fingers.

"Um, no not really, thanks anyway though, but I'd better be going home now. Again I'm really sorry" I turned to walk away until I felt him grab my arm and yank me into the house.

A.N~ hiiiii, I updated again because I won't be able to update for a couple of days :(
