See Me Now (Mirry: Harry Styles&Michael Clifford)

Chapter 20

*Niall's POV*

I'm tossing and turning in bed... I don't like Mike not staying with me anymore throughout the night... When he stayed I felt safe, but now... Also, knowing my mum is in the house, I don't like it. What if she gets into my room... I'm glad though that uncle Harry wants to take care of her, in the end she'll always be my mum...

I'm cuddling closer to my fluffy unicorn and close my eyes when I suddenly hear a lot of noise in the room next to mine. I crawl further under my blankets, hoping they will swallow me up and hide me. If I can't see my mum, she can't see me. That's quite obvious.

Not much later I hear uncle Harry open the room to his bedroom, then leaves it only a few minutes later. Why is he leaving his door open? Does he want my mum to walk around freely? Does he want her to take me with her? I won't go, I won't.

Why isn't he coming back up? Why is no one here to stop her... Maybe if I'm very carefully I can get out of my room without being seen by my mum... Mmmm... But how won't she see me? I'm not a ninja. Oh, if I keep my blanket around me, she won't be able to notice me. Yes! I wrap my blanket around my body, making sure only my eyes are visible. Nothing more. Now I can be like Harry Potter when he wears his invisibility cloak! Yes!

I open the door silently and walk into the hallway on my tippy toes. The bit of blanket that is on the ground makes a soft ruffling noise, but it's not loud enough to be noticed. Arriving at the stairs I hear my uncle's voice loud and clear ringing through the room:

"Mike, who is Simon?"

Simon? I have never heard of him and Mike tells me everything. Where does Uncle Harry come up with this...

"Harry... He's no one..."

"Mike? Who is he?"

"He's just my boss."

"If he is just your boss, why did you lie about it."

"Because I'm not really allowed to talk about my job..."

"Well, he told me his name, so he brought it upon himself."

Maybe I should go, this sounds like a grown up talk.

"Or, are you still lying to me Mike? Cause saying he is your boss, seems like such a common answer, such an easy lie to tell.", My uncle's voice grows louder and I decide to stay put. I know my uncle when he gets mad... He can be quite scary, I might have to save Mike.

"What? No! Harry seriously! No! What are you even talking about?! I would never cheat on you. I love you, no one else. Besides, I couldn't even cheat on you even if I wanted. It's not like anyone else can see me..."

A loud crash goes through the living room.

"Harry! Calm down! Are you mental? That cup didn't do anything wrong and neither did I!"

"How can you say that?! So the only reason you don't cheat on me is because you are invisible to everyone else?! Cause newsflash buddy! We all know about Ashton!"

"Ashton is just a mate! He could never replace you! Besides he still has feelings for Lou."

"You are not entitled to call him Lou, it's Louis for you! He is my friend. Not yours!"

"Djeez! Are you going to be mad for everything I say right now?! I swear you are just as bad as a girl on her period!"

"OUT! GET OUT OF MY HOUSE!"

"Fine! I'm out! I don't need your tantrums Harry, not when I'm not in the wrong here! So when you cooled down and you can act normal again I'll come back. Not sooner!"
