Chapter 1
“No, no, no! I’m not watching a scary movie with you!” I yelled and they burst into laughter.
“You can’t say no, Belle!” Louis sang, reaching out to carry me to the couch. I glared at their amused faces.
“NOOO!” I yelled again and grabbed on to the kitchen table as firm as my little frame could handle.
“Come on Belle, we could all cuddle up.” Zayn suggested, wagging his thick, dark eyebrows. He snickered with Niall.
I rolled my eyes, “No amount of cuddling will take the scariness out of the movie, Zayn. Harry, stop staring at my butt.” I said and Zayn made a disapproving noise.
“I was not!” Harry yelled and hid his face in a pillow. The living room was full of pillows and stuffed animals. I kicked and struggled to get out of his arms.
“Louis, let me go!!” I yelled again and he laughed.
“No can do, little girl.” He teased, snickering.
“We have popcorn and stuff animals all over the place, so it won’t be that scary.” Liam pointed out, grabbing my hand. Louis put me down and Liam led me to the couch. His hands were soft and warm. The touch of his skin weakened me and I had to obey.
“Nooo!” I said, knowing I was losing the battle.
“POPCORN!” Niall yelled happily, stuffing his face. I laughed at him and he gave me the ‘they are mine’ face before he continued eating.
Liam sat me down directly in front of the television and sat on the floor on my left while Zayn came over and sat on the floor on my right. “Now my legs are protected.” I thought, smiling. Niall hugged the popcorn and sat close to me on the couch. Harry and Louis sat on the couch with me, on my left. “Great. Now I’m fully protected,” I teased them and they grinned. Liam reached over the remote and pressed play.
“Guys, I don’t want to watch anymore! I’m gonna die!” I whined as the creepy background music started.
“Stop being a baby, Belle.” Louis teased.
“Stop sleeping with Kelvin, Louis.” I replied, ducking under a big blanket that we all shared together.
Ten minutes later the creepy music was back on again and this time, the monster’s hand was creeping out to grab the little girl. Liam and Zayn shared a look and grabbed my legs as the music changed. I screamed and kicked as hard as I could. Niall screamed with me, sending the popcorn flying everywhere. They laughed, rolling around on the floor.
“Not funny guys! I’m very disappointed in you!!” I sniffed and ran to my room as fast as I could before the boys had time to hold me back.
When I got to my room, the movie and the monster kept getting into my mind. I didn’t even want to get near my bed. Maybe a monster is under it and grabs my legs and pulls me to underworld so I can’t see the boys anymore. I ran to the toilet. I did not look away from the mirror not wanting to find anything behind me. The thought scared me and my mind started making things up. I ran back to the boys and snuggled in with Harry at the side.
“Needed Hazza to protect you, eh love?” he teased, smiling at me and offering me the blanket.
“Shut up.” I smiled and hid behind him.
“No no no! Belle ! Harry is mine!” Louis yelled and pulled Harry to his side leaving me at the corner of the couch alone, with no blankets.
“It’s okay! I got you!” Niall said, pulling me over to his side. I covered up with the blankets and sat at the same old place. I hugged my legs so Zayn and Liam wouldn’t grab them again. Niall and I ate popcorn from the couch and it was kinda fun because we had to dig for them. Niall called it a treasure hunt. The ghost was about to pop out and the boys hugged me and helped me close my eyes.
“I’m here Belle ” Niall yelled, cuddling me tightly.
“HARRY!” Louis yelled and the Larry hugged each other firmly.
“AHHH!” Liam and Zayn screamed, hugging you.
