Leila

"Nah I'm good" Con said. "Yeah me too" Greg said agreeing with Con. I knew they were all joking like but as I said we all had this relationship were we all messed with each other for fun. After 20 minutes of tanning I was getting really hot so I decided to finally go in the water. "I'm going in are you guys coming?" I asked as I stood up

"Yeah" the all said and I made my way to the water. It was kinda cold so I took slow steps until the water touched my thighs. "Jump in Leila." Greg said as they all approached me. "It's cold." I said back with slight goosebumps. "The faster you jump in the faster your body is going to get used to the temperature." he said back as I turned my head to the water. Huge mistake.

I felt all of the boys splash me and push me in the water and after that they all jumped in with me. "You're assholes." I said back faking my annoyance. After that we all messed around in the water, we fought with each other and it was really nice. The water was actually getting warmer by the time. "We're going out you coming?" Liam asked and I shook my head. "No I think I'm going to stay for a little longer you guys go ahead." I said as I swam farther.

I always liked the beach and how the ocean felt. It felt so carefree and I loved the feeling of the water hugging my body it was oddly refreshing. As I was swimming I saw a little girl around 14 crying and almost drowning so I quickly swam to her to help her. "Are you okay sweetheart?" I asked as soon as I was closer to her. "Help me! Help me!" She said panicking and trying to hold into me."Okay okay can you tell what wrong?" I asked her as I tried to calm her down.

"Something bit me and now my leg hurts so bad." she said crying."Okay can you swim with me to the shore?" I asked and she just hugged me almost taking me down with her. "You need to let go of me because we're both going to drown." I said slightly panicking. "No please I can't!" She cried pushing me down the water. As soon as my head was out of the water I took a deep breath and tried swimming to the shore. I was halfway through when I felt a stinging at my ankle and I hissed immediately.

"Guys! Liam, Dylan !"I screamed as I was closer to the shore and I saw all of them run to me. Greg and Con quickly picked up the girl and led her to the sand as I fell to my knees breathing heavily and coughing trying to calm down. "You okay? What happened?" Liam asked me as both him and Luke kneeled to my side.

"I'm okay just trying to catch my breath" I said breathless. "What happened though?" Dylan asked. "I saw her crying and almost drowning and I swam to her to help her, she said that something bit her I think it was a jellyfish or something" I said quickly. "Okay let's get you dry come on" Liam said as they both helped me stand up. My ankle really hurted but I ignored it for now cause I was worried about the little girl.

The guys wrapped me in a towel and I went to the girl who was now laying down I'm the sand while Con and Greg helped her "Hey sweetie you're okay." I said while I kneeled beside her caressing her hair to calm her down. "It hurts" she said with tears. "I know but Con and Greg are helping you don't worry" I said. "What's your name?" I asked her trying to distract her "Emmy." she said back. "Emmy! I love this name one of my best friends name is Emmy" I said.

"Where are your parents honey?" I asked her confused that her parents are not here." They left to bring snacks and water" she said and I searched for them. "What are their names?" I asked her. "Raven and Sam" she said and I nodded. "Okay I'm going to go find them for you, you just try and stay calm alright?" I said and she nodded

I stood up and to go and search for them but Dylan grabbed my wrist. "What?" I asked with confusion as he looks at my right ankle that was stung by a jellyfish too signalling me to stay. "I'm fine Dylan just let me go find her parents she is scared" I said to him as he looked at me disapprovingly. "Leila you should sit down,if you put weight on your ankle it will hurt more plus you need to clean it and wrap it" he said.
