Robbie's P.o.V
Suddenly there is a flurry of noise from my friends as they shoot a barrage of questions at me. I shrink away from the noise at first, but soon realise that they won't abate unless I intervene. I mean they're not even giving me time to answer. I steadily raise my hand to stop my friends. It takes about a minute until the room is silent.
Just as I am about to start answering their questions, well the few of them that I could actually understand, I feel a tug on my sleeve. I look at my arm and see that Alice is tugging on my shirt. They look on her face immediately stills my tongue.
"I'm bored of this game. Can we please play another one?" She begs her eyes becoming as large as tennis balls. Who could refuse those eyes?
"Of course we can. Remember I'm on your team this time." I shoot a smile at her and she giggles as she runs off upstairs to choose another game. I look back to the gang to see that all their expressions are still questioning.
"Ok guys I know that wasn't the best way to tell you, but right now isn't the time to talk about it. So what do you say to talking about it over dinner tomorrow?" I propose to them, knowing that no explanation I can give in the time it'll take Alice to find a game will be enough.
I look around at my friends to see them exchanging looks and finally a few nods aimed at me. Just then Alice comes back in, her arms folded. I beckon for her to come over.
"So what has got you upset?" I say pulling her into my lap suddenly, causing her to giggle.
"All the games upstairs are boring." She pouts, stopping her giggling suddenly.
"Well, what if we play hide and seek?" I ask her.
Just then two deafening screams fill the room, the first scream from Alice, the other from Cat. I am prepared for Alice but not Cat. Her scream, linked with the sudden withdrawal of her hand from my hand, knocks me on my back, sending Alice rolling along the floor. As I sit up I see the two of them prancing around the room and can't help but let out a giggle.
"I hope you guys don't mind." I direct at the others. They just laugh in response I'm not sure whether at the girls response or me falling but I take it as a good sign either way. Suddenly Alice is tugging my arm again pulling me up.
"Come count with me Robbie." She ordered. With that Alice and I walk over to the wall and cover our eyes. We start counting and I hear the noise of the others shuffling off to their hiding places.
Once we finish counting Alice grabs my hand and drags me around the house looking for the other. It takes a few minutes to find our first person. We are in my room and just as we are about to leave a giggle sounds. Alice sprints in the direction of the sound and pulls Cat from within my closet.
Next we find Beck hiding in the laundry room, then Andre hiding in the garage. Tori is difficult to find but I spot her foot slip out from behind the shelves in the pantry. Last and most difficult to find is Jade, Alice eventually finds her in my parents' old room. She was hidden behind one of my mum's old dresses, scissors in hand cutting small snips of it away.
After two more games Alice runs up to her sister and hugs her. In a rare moment Jade displays a soft side and hugs her back.
"Can I be on your team now?" She begs her. I can't help but laugh, I know the only reason she is asking her is because Jade has been the last to be found each time whilst we were always one of the first.
"Sure you can, we'll show these losers how you play." She says. Alice just jumps up and down with joy. That is until Beck begins to count, then she tries to pull Jade away. However Jade just lifts her sister up and runs in the opposite direction. It's not until I look around and see that all the others have all disappeared, that I realise that I'm wasting time standing here.
I quickly shoot off upstairs in the direction of the study. I know exactly where the best place to hide is. I rush through the door and dive into the closet. It's dark in here, so I know that if anyone looks in here they will most likely not see me. Unfortunately someone seems to have had the same idea as me.
"Sorry, I'll leave" The voice comes. Just as the door opens my eyes see a quick flash of red before I slam the door shut.
"You don't want to go out there. Beck will have finished counting by now." I explain. I feel the need to explain myself, just in case she thought what I did as mean. I suddenly feel Cat's petite for engulf me.
"You just saved me from getting caught" she beams. I shush her saying that if she isn't quieter Beck might hear us. Well that is how she got found each time; she always seemed to make a noise just as the person entered the room.
I look at where I think Cat will be, but because it's so dark I could be looking in completely the wrong place.
"Cat?" I ask in a hushed tone.
"Meow" is the response I get. I can't help but let a broad grin infect my face.
"I want to give Jade and Alice some space tomorrow; do you feel like doing something?" I ask. I hope she doesn't take it the wrong way. I mean yes I like her, but I'm not asking her out on a date. I know that Jade needs some alone time with Alice. Even though I've been away for a few days I can tell that this will help Jade. The few moments that those two have shared since they've been here have shown me that they've missed each other.
Suddenly a squeal and an arm assault me. Not a second later the door is flung open and I see Beck standing there. Cat in her excitement has gone to hug me, but has instead whacked me in the nose, causing it to bleed.
A/N: Sorry it has taken a little longer than normal to update. I was just unsure what to do with this chapter. Will try and update soon. Thanks for all the reviews.
