Chapter 12 - Hidden

MADDIE POV.

The light shines through the window and blinds my eyes as i wake up. I sit up and wipe my forehead for some reason i was sweating like hell. I look down beside me and Harry wasnt there. 

I feel kind of nervous when Harrys not about, i feel as his the one protecting me and when his not there i feel like no ones there to protect me. I have known Harry for three days and i feel like this, seriously?

I get up and look out the window, there were a few walkers on the edges of the trees, this made me feel more nervous now and by now i felt scared. I rushed down stairs and no one was around. Panic coursed through my body and i felt tears pricking at my eyes. 

I know this seemed pathetic to cry but his the one protecting me and without him now i dont think i could make it. I run back upstairs and run back into my room. Still no sign of him. So i rush down the hallway until someone bumps into me.

"Woah calm down" a deep irish accent says.

I look up to see Niall, he sees my tears pouring down my face, and worry spreads across his face. He pulls me into a tight huf and rubs my back.

"Whats happened?" He asks still holding onto me. I push away slightly and look up so i can see him.

"Its Harry... i.i dont know where he is" I sniffle then wipe my eyes.

He laughs slightly and pulls me into another hug "Mads he only went down to the cellar to find some wood to board up the windows" 

I start to blush and feel silly for crying "Oh-h i just  got scared because there was a few walkers outside and i was scared if he went out the or got biten or so-" 

"Shh his just down in the cellar, i understand why your upset" Niall cuts me off and pulls my arm slightly "C'mon i will take you down there i was going down there to help him now anyway" He smiles.

I follow him downstairs and to the front door where there is a little cupboard of to the side, well i thought it was a cupboard but it truns out to be the door to the cellar. He opens it up and a bit of dust comes from the force of the door.

"Its a bit dark so just hold onto my shoulder if you want, theres a little light down there though" He says then starts to walk down the stairs.

The stairway was very narrow and sent chills down my spine. It was freezing down here and really dark which wasnt the best thing. We got to the bottom of the stairs, the cellar was massive it had shelves everywhere with old toys, pieces of tools, wood, paint all sorts of stuff me and Niall weaved in and out on the shelves to get to the back corner of the cellar where Harry was sorting out wood to board up the windows, there was a massive tourch on the floor which lit up the whole corner.

Harry had his jeans on and his shirt tied around his head. His dark tattoos looked magnificent againsted his tanned skin. his body looked all sweaty from the hard work he must of been doing.

"Niall could you hand me that" his deep raspy voice asked.

He looked up and saw me, he smiled which looked adorable his dimples were showing and his eyes completely lit up. I smiled back and gave him a tight hug, when i pulled away he looked a bit took back about what that was about.

"Whats a matter" His voice was soft and was like a melody to my ear.

"I thought you left or something had happened to you, i didnt know where you was, i bumped into Niall and he brought me down here to see you" I say.

"Ah good old Niall bringing you down here" Niall shouts from the other side of the cellar which makes me giggle.

"Shut up and carry on with your work leprechaun" Harry chuckles
