I marched down the quiet hotel hallway, on my way downstairs to meet up with everybody else. Leave it to me to forget my bathing suit, on my way to the beach.

I sprinted down the stairs and walked through the lobby to see Niall standing outside alone. Where is everybody else?

"They went ahead, I said I would wait" he answered, like he read my mind or something, I gave Niall a small smile of appreciation, and we started walking down the quiet side walk.

I'm glad I decide on the shorts, although it's not super duper hot, it's still way hotter compared to Ireland, where it's usually always raining, or cloudy.

"Can I ask you something Niall?" He looked at me waiting for me to speak again "on the plane I heard something" he looked confused but went along with it anyway.

"After I said 'this is amazing', did you whisper 'your amazing'?" He looked shocked and maybe a little embarrassed, that I heard what he had said but hey at least that answers my question "I didn't think you would hear that" he mumbled awkwardly.

I saw him scratch his head from the corner of my eye, and continued to walk. "I'll just pretend I didn't hear anything" I gave him a reassuring smile and continued down the beach, in the distance I could see everyone running around splashing each other with water.

"God their weird" I laughed, Niall let out a sigh. And walked silently.

Why's he being so awkward about this, it's not like it's even that big of a deal I mean he's my best friend it's not like I mind that he said I was awesome.

"Hey Liv I got the boards!" Liam smiled holding his board up, I saw another board standing in the sand and I smiled.

I love surfing!

I tore my tank top off, kicked off my shoes, and took my shorts off leaving me in nothing but the black bikini Zayn picked out for me when we went shopping.

I tied the surfboard string around my angle, and picked it up out of the sand, Liam ran with me into the water and we both dove in on our boards.

when I came back up I cheered and began to paddle as quickly as I could racing to catch the wave that was coming.

I gripped the sides of my board, and did a duck dive underneath the small wave before the big one.

as soon as I came back up I used all my strength to push myself up, and steadied myself on the wave doing a bottom turn, kicking my board around, then snapping it back, so I was facing the beach where everybody was watching, and cheering as loudly as they could.

when I reached the bottom, I quickly did a re-entry getting back into the white water. I saw an opportunity to do some tube riding and I took it crouching down, while keeping my balance, I road the wave, dipping the tips of my fingers into the refreshing water.

when I came to the exit I stood up sticking my arms into the air cheering.

Liam was sitting/floating on his board, white he clapped a smiled spread across his face.

I stuck my tongue out and held my hand in the air only holding up my pinkie, and my thumb. Then I dove into the water.

It feels so good to be back in the water feels like forever since I had an adrenaline rush like this, it was honestly so amazing!

I swam back up and climbed on my board pushing myself closer to the shore where everybody was chilling.

"Dude who knew you could move like that!" Ashley yelled with a proud smile on her face. "You were amazing!" Jackson smiled giving me a thumbs up

"Thanks guys" I blushed, Liam walked past me smiling and patted me on the back.

"You've gotta teach me your moves" He said putting his board in the sand, I nodded and put my board beside him.

Everyone made their way into the water, leaving Niall and I on the shore,

"That was scary awesome" he wrapped his arm around me.

"Scary?" I asked him, still smiling.

"Dude I've seen soul surfer" he said with a serious expression, I went into hysterics.

"It's not funny" he complained while trying not to laugh himself.

his arms snaked around my waist in an attempt to tickle me, I let out a scream, and turned so I was facing him. Our faces so close, Niall was looking down at me blushing.

I gave a small awkward smile and backed away "lets swim" I said before running into the water.

I needed to move away before I did something stupid like kiss my best friend, it's so stupid that I have feelings for him, I'm so freaking stupid. He's my best friend and he's Niall freaking Horan for God sakes, guys like Niall don't fall for girls like me, it just doesn't happen.

Even if this was a fairly tale it still wouldn't work, you don't fall for you best friend because then if something happens between you guys you risk messing up anything good you ever had.

some times you just can't repair whats been broken no matter how hard you try and I feel like that would be me and Niall, if our friendship broke there would be no fix. It would just be over nothing else.

To him I would just be some girl he used to know, and then he'd leave to go off and live his perfect pop-star life and I would be alone, and sad.

Like some love struck little girl, I will not be that girl who sits alone and cries all day because she broke up with her boyfriend, the one that she thought was the one. I promised myself that I wouldn't be that girl, and I can't break that promise therefore I can't be with Niall because I know that our friendship would be ruined if we ever ended.

I just wish it was easy to move on and forget about someone you have feeling for.

But I think I can do it, because our friendship means so much to me. I have to do it.
