Drowning

Chapter 1

(Louis POV)

"Come onnn" Niall dragged out, desperately trying to get me to go to the beach. "Niall I told you I'm not a strong swimmer and I don't want to embarrass myself in front of everyone!" I'm not the best of swimmers and I'll be damned if I am going to embarrass myself by having to be saved by someone.

    "Please I promise I'll stay with you and if you need help I'll be right there, and we don't even have to swim that far out!" I sighed. I thought about it and I decided it can't be all that bad, I'll have Niall right there beside me if I need any help, "Fine. But you better not try and drown me!" He started jumping around and yelling "YAY WE ARE GOING TO THE BEACH!" And I couldn't help but laugh at my idiotic best friend.

   " are you sure you have enough sunscreen? We can't have you burning like a lobster out there Ni-ni" Niall burns way to easily in the sun for me not to have to ask a thousand times to make sure he has packed sunscreen "yes I am absolutely sure I have packed sunscreen. Did you make sure to leave your boringness at home?" He laughed " what are you talking about, I'm the one who invented fun! LAST ONE TO THE CAR IS A ROTTEN EGG!" I screamed and took of as fast as my LONG legs could carry me and I made it first! "your a rotten egg!" I panted, out of breath.

We got into the car and fell into a comfortable silence in the car while listening to the radio. Soon enough we arrived at the beach. I parked the car and jumped out grabbing half of our stuff while Niall grabbed the other half of the stuff.

"Come on Lou let's go!" " I'm coming, I'm coming." I knew I had a pretty good tan and I didn't burn easily, I just tanned, so I didn't have to worry about putting sunscreen on. I stripped of my shirt and I heard Niall whistle, I flipped him off without turning around and made sure to hide my phone and keys in a safe place in my bag.

We didn't go swimming just yet as Niall wanted to make a sand castle. We got a cup from our bag and started gathering water. Niall sat in the sand crisscross-applesauce and started scooping sand to the middle.

I sat the water cup beside us while helping Niall scoop the sand. Once we got enough sand piled up I started slowly pouring water on the sand while Niall moulded  (molded) the sand into a castle-like shape. I went back and fourth a couple of times to get water and eventually Niall said he was finished.

"It looks like a fat turd Ni" I laughed, although he did better than I expected he would, "No it doesn't! Clearly that's guard tower and there's the little guard, see!" He said pointing to a little rock he found under the sand.

"I'm sorry, I can very clearly see the guard on their guard tower, you did a great job Ni" I said holding back a laugh cause he looked like a pouting toddler. At my words his face lit up. "I'm done playing in the sand for now Lou, let's go swim!" I agreed.

And after double checking everything important was hidden, we ran to the water and he dove in face first and I burst out laughing when he came up to the surface and complained about his eyes.

We started swimming around and throwing water at each other while playing until I scooped up a load of sand from underwater and threw it and him, which he called me a "sand eating motherfucking bitch" for and I laughed at him.

Eventually I got tired but Niall suggested we go out a bit further, without thinking I agreed cause I didn't think it was that deep. Oh how wrong I was. The waves were getting stronger. " Niall!" I called out, but I was to out of breath and he was underwater.

I started kicking my legs a bit harder trying to keep afloat but suddenly there was a big wave. It went over my head and my eyes started burning, I lost my breath because of the impact. I started getting really scared as I could feel the water shoving it's way down my throat and I tried kicking my legs and flailing my arms to get to the surface. I finally felt the sweet, sweet air for a split second but before I could even start coughing up the water, another wave hit and I was back under. The water was filling up my lungs and I was chocking.I could feel my lungs screaming for air, crying out, as I thrashed my arms and legs around, trying to fight the wave.

Pain shot through me like an arrow as I was tossed like a ragdoll. The wave threw me up, until my head broke out of the thrashing waves. I heard a voice scream for help. I screamed in return with the last of my breath as the water sucked me back down into the depths of my terror.
I could only see black.
