Every day for the next week Niall accompanied me to the beach and every day he never went into the water. I never asked why, I just assumed he didn't want to.

*BUZZ* *BUZZ*

From; Niall 09:34
Heyy Heather! Would you like to meet up at the beach? :D

To; Niall 09:36
Sorry I can't make it today.. :( I have to practise my timed swim at the pool!! maybe l8r??

From; Niall 09:37
Do you need someone to help time u?

To; Niall 09:39
OMG THAT WOULD BE GREAT!!! Meet me at the pool in 15 mins! :)

From; Niall 09:40
C U there! ;)

I began to pack my bag, I put in my most steamline swimsuit and a pair of goggles, as well as stopwatch for Niall.

when I arrived at the pool Niall was there but he had no bag.

"Ehh.. Niall.. where's you swimbag?"

"Oh. I don't need one. I'm not going swimming,"

wait what? How is he going to time me? "I have swim trunks though."

"Oh? Okay. I'm going to go change, I'll be out in the pool in 5"

"Righto!"

I scan my membership card on the door and walk into the woman's changing room. I walk into one of the cubicles and got dressed into my swimsuit. I pad along the slippery floors with caution (when I was 6 I fell on these tiles when they were wet and had to get 3 stitches. The marks are still there but my bangs cover them now.) to the edge of the swimming pool and slowly lower my body into the cold water.
I swim along the wall up to where Niall is sitting. He has his pale legs dipped in the water but looks almost uncomfortable. I am slightly out of my depth now but Niall would be able to touch the bottom no problem. He really does tower over me but I am very, very small and short.

"Okay... you ready?"

I mentally prepare myself. "Yep."

"Okay." He says resetting the stopwatch I brought for him to time me. "On your marks... get set... GO!"


I KNOW THIS IS REALLY SHORT AND FOR THAT I APOLOGISE. I had 12 chapters written out but when I eventually got wifi (my holiday home has no wifi) all of the 12 unpublished chapters deleted!!!!! This was all I could get written from what I remember it went like until my food came (I got wifi in a restaurant) I promise the rest of the chapters will be longer and I'm sorry I haven't updated in a while but I had all the chapters written and then... well. I AM REALLY REALLY SORRY!!!
