EMILY'S POV
I started crying tears of joy, this boy, who I have no clue who he is, is willing to pay for my chemo. I couldn't allow this. "I'll get your number from Scarlett, and I'll get you the money" He smiled, and then we were disconnected, this hospital room didn't have good service.
SCARLETT'S POV
"Niall..." I said. I was speechless, along with Jenna. "Where are you going to get the money?"
"Can we explain something to you?" He said, looking around at all the boys, they nodded. "We're in a band, called One Direction." This seemed to be killing him to say this.
"You were on Yahoo's headlines" I said.
"Are you mad at us for not telling you?" said Zayn.
"No, no, we're not." said Jenna.
"What hotel are you staying at?" Niall blurted out. Everyone looked at him.
"The Royal Hyatt" said Jenna. The boys looked at each other.
"So are we" said the one with dark curly hair. "I'm Harry", he added to Jenna.
"I'm Louis" said the one with auburn hairy that was pushed over the side.
"I'm Liam" said the one with light curly hair who had sat next to Jenna. He was talking directly to me.
"I'm Zayn" said Zayn, directly to Jenna. She looked at me. "Me and Zayn already met." I explained to her.
"I'm Niall" Niall said directly to Jenna.
"And we are One Direction!'' Louis said in a joking manor. All the boys glared at him. Harry stepped on his foot. "Sorry" Louis said.
"Let's go back to the hotel" I said. I needed a swim, and I knew Isabel did too. Swimming was a way to forget things that were bothering you and it let us be free. Easy to say, swimming is our drug.
NIALL'S POV
We took a cab back to our hotel. We took private ones that were assigned to us so we knew whoever was on the inside wouldn't fangirl. We separated half way, discovering we were on the same floor. We decided to meet by the elevator in 10 minutes to go to the pool. Well, all the boys were by the elevator, we had been standing there for a minute when the girls came down the hall and into the clearing. They both had on racing suits, Scarlett's was turquoise and purple, Jenna's was navy and white. Both girls had strong muscular bodies. Their shoulders were broad and their legs toned. They had goggles and swim caps, (Jack Wills, of course) tucked into the strap around their arm. I looked down, immediately feeling awkward. Around them, I felt my stomach sucking in without meaning to.
"So, let's go!" Scarlett said, smiling. She was a lays smiling, except for when she found out her friend was sick again, and then any normal person would have cried. The girls skipped into the elevators. We went down to the floor the pool was on and the girls ducked out of the lift and sprinted down the hallway, doing a full split in midair while leaping. Liam whispered to me, "They were sobbing 30 minutes ago, how do they have so much energy?" he asked, bewildered. The girls were by the door, waiting for us because we had the key to get in. While they were waiting, they must've gotten to stretching, because they were holding each other legs were held above their heads. That was a good 'best friends' picture. "God, you are flexible!" said Liam. He leaned towards They both smiled at him. They then ran into the indoor pool and dove in the deep end, not even testing the temperature of the water, which is what any of the boys would do. Scarlett's dive was flawless, so was Jenna's, but I was watching Scarlett because she seemed so at ease in the water.
"Wanna race?" she said, appearing at my feet.
"I don't even know if I'm going in" I said. Without even pushing off the pool bottom, just using her legs, she propelled herself out of the water and grabbed my hand, yanking me in. I came up, "What was that for?" I said gasping for air.
"I wanna race" she said, simple as that.
"Fine" I mumbled, and followed her over to the wall. She got in a perfect starting position, legs bent against the wall, one hand grabbing the edge, other hand pointed forward. I tried to mimic her as Isabel started the countdown. "Swimmers on your mark, get set, GO!" Scarlett was halfway across the pool before I even started. I gave up and didn't even start. I watched her do a perfect flip turn. She was so at home in the water. She finished her race and I walked over to her. "Why are you so at home in the water? Tell me your life story. I wanna know" I said. She opened her mouth and spilt everything out to me. She was in the middle of telling me how she told her brother to stay strong while she was gone, when I felt so sad for her, loved her so much that I snaked my arm around the small of her back and pulled her close to me and I smashed my face against hers. Not in a painful smash, I just pulled her into me. We kissed, but I didn't know if she was kissing back or not, she was teasing me. This was all a game to her.
SCARLETTS POV
Harry was kissing me. He had fallen for me, hard. I kind of felt bad, this game had gone a little of track, but I could talk to Isabel later. All I knew now is that Harry, whose last name I didn't know who was on the Yahoo headlines, was kissing me, and apparently girls all over the world would kill to be in my place. Harry was begging me to kiss back, but I just teased him. His tongue was trying to poke into my mouth; I just pushed it back out with my own. We pulled away. We needed air to survive, you know. He leaning to kiss me again but I squirmed out from where he had me against the pool wall. I was good at twisting out of things. Flexibility has its advantages. I went to the other side of the pool to talk to Jenna. I looked up while swimming over to her. It was dark. The moon was bright. Perfect for what I wanted to do.
I slipped out of the pool pulling myself up out of the water with my strong arms. I walked over to my phone. I checked the maps and we were only a quarter mile away from the beach. I yelled to everyone "C'mon we're going to the beach" Isabel and I sprinted upstairs to our room to change into a cute bra and underwear. Isabel had stayed with the boys. I pulled on my Jack Wills shorts then the purple tank top I wore today. I ran out the door and met the rest of them in the lobby without even resting I ran outside in my bare feet with Isabel behind me. We had done this before. We call it a beach flash mob. Well just decide to go to the beach late at night while with friends. The boys had no choice but to follow us. Me and Isabel ran outside and started sprinting down the busy street. The boys followed wondering what the hell we were doing. I had found the dirt road we were looking for. Isabel and I started stripping, leaving our shirts and shorts in the middle of the dusty road. I was in a purple zebra print bra and white boy short knickers. Isabel stripped down to her leopard print bra and red boy shorts. We were laughing hysterically as we turned around to see the boys holding our clothes with scared and confused looks. They followed knowing we had to be wearing something. Silly boys, it'd be more 'me and Jenna' if we did this completely naked. But we'd just met the boys today. It may seem weird to most people to get naked so quickly with a group of random boys, but we done this at home with boys, with less clothes then we had on now.
