Amber's POV

Right in the middle of our last movie , The Lion King , a thunder storm begins. A huge crash of thunder sounds, causing me to jump slightly. I put my hand on my chest, feeling my rapid heartbeats. "It's okay, Am. It'll be fine. I'm here if you get scared." Liam says grabbing my hand, holding in his two big ones. "Thanks, Li." I hug him.

We continue our movie until Liam's phone rings. It's Lou. He mouths words to me. Worry floods his face. He hangs up after the quick conversation. "There's a tornado headed our way, we need to make it to the basement." Liam , once again, grabs my hand. This time pulling me out the door and downstairs.

We get to the basement. Everything is furnished nicely. "Hide in the bathroom over there!" I point out to Liam. "Fantastic idea Am." He pulls me to the bathroom.

He gets in the bathtub and motions me to get in also. I get in and sit down in front of him.

His arms wrap around me, squeezing tightly. Not too tight, but right enough to comfort me.

Liam's POV

I hold her as she sobs into my chest. I tighten my arms around her. I kiss her head and try my best to comfort her.

"It's okay , Amber, it won't even come near our neighborhood."

When she finally calmed down the sound stopped. I helped her put I the tub. I look at her face. The eyeliner she had worn was down to her cheeks and her eye lids were red and puffy. I look on my shirt , finding black marks surrounded by small wet spots.

"S-sorry I ruined your shirt , Li." She says in the most sympathetic way possible.

"No, it's fine. I'll just use it to sleep in." I wrap an arm around her and we go back to my room to finish the movie.
