i refuse to sink.

chapter thirteen.

I woke up in a good mood this morning, I was excited about my date, and I have 6 new best friends. What more could I ask for? I decided to go on a run this morning, everyone was still asleep in our hut. I slowly got out of Harrys arms, careful not to wake him up. I heard him groan as I stood up.

"Where are you going?" Harry croaked, rubbing his eyes and leaning up on his elbows. He was sat up so I saw his very nice torso. I looked back into his eyes and saw him smirking, he realized he caught me checking him out.

"Going for a run, I will be back soon. Go back to bed." I said. He nodded and leaned over towards me, I wasn't sure what he was doing, but I realized he wanted a kiss. I gave him a quick peck on the cheek and walked into the bathroom to get ready.

I walked out the door and down the path that led onto the main island. I noticed Liam walk out his door the same time I was walking by.

"Hey Liam!" I hollered.

"Hey, are you going for a run?" Liam asked. He was also wearing work out clothing.

"Yeah, care to join me?" I asked. Liam nodded and we jogged off down the trail. We ran over the bridge that led us over to the huge resort, where most people stayed.

"Wow, its so nice over here." I said.

"Bora Bora is amazing." Liam said. I nodded not being able to speak, I was still stunned at how beautiful this place was and I was slightly out of breath. We have been running for about 30 minutes. I saw a water stop ahead.

"Can we get some water?" I panted.

"Yes please." Liam laughed. We ran over to the water stop quickly. I stopped and bent over trying to catch my breath before taking a sip of water. It was getting extremely hot outside. I saw Liam take off his shirt, he was the fitter one of the group, no doubt about it.

"Do you mind?" I asked pointing to my shirt.

"Go ahead, its so hot out here." Liam said. I nodded and took off my shirt. "Ready to go back?" Liam asked.

"Yeah, can we go this way?" I asked pointing to a different path. Liam nodded and we took off in the new direction. It was mainly trees so it was shaded, which meant it was cooler. We came across a little stream and decided to stop and sit on the rocks. It was very nice.

"So you and Harry?" Liam asked as he dangled his feet in the water.

"Yeah, he isn't a jerk to me anymore. I really like him Liam, is that a bad thing? I mean I know about him. I know his reputation." I sighed.

"Morgan, I can't deny what he has done, but I can honestly say, you are different. The way he looks at you is that way Lou and I look at El and Danni. We love them, and I know it's to soon to be talking about love between you two, but I can see it. I can tell you're trying not to let him push you're walls down so easily, but he already did. Yes Zayn helped, but Harry was there to make sure the wall was all gone. He really likes you, like really fancies you. Give him a chance, he has a bad reputation, but when he finds a girl, you just know that he would do anything for you, protect you with all his heart, protect you from the hate. He would never want to see a girl he loves broken, and if he is the one who caused the pain, he would cause pain to himself. I know you like him too, its obvious the way you both look in each others eyes. Give him a chance, it will be worth it. I promise." Liam said.

"Thanks Liam." I said and gave him a side hug. He put his arm around my shoulder and I rested my head against his. "So when can I meet this famous Danielle?" I wondered.

"Not sure, she is so busy with dance. I haven't seen her in 4 weeks and its killing me. I miss her so much." Liam said looking out into the water.

"I know you do, but just imagine when you get to see her. Your going to get the same sparks you did the first time you held hands or kissed. It will be worth it." I smiled. Liam nodded and smiled, but I could tell he was hurting to see her. I was going to get Danielle to him, no matter what. Even for a day, I was going to make Liam happy with Danielle again. "Lets get back to the others." Liam nodded and helped me up before we walked back just talking about everything that came to our minds. It felt good talking to someone that didn't know anything about me.
