I sadly looked at Niall as he swished his feet in the water. The poor guy longed to jump in with everyone else but he couldn't. He couldn't swim. I jumped into the water landing with a splash. The boys and their girlfriends were having a pool party and of course they invited me and Niall. I was the only one who knew Niall couldn't swim. Niall sighed and I squeezed his hand. Niall squeezed back.
"Alright bud? Need anything?" I asked.
Niall shrugged. "A beer?"
"Sure thing love. I'll be right back." I said getting out of the pool and kissing his forehead. I walked into the house and into the kitchen deciding to make a milkshake for myself as well.
Niall's P.O.V
I sighed for the tenth time today and kicked the water. I watched everyone laughing and splashing and felt tears in my eyes.
"Hey Nialler wanna join us?" Eleanor asked sweetly sitting beside me.
"No thanks love I'm just resting." I smiled as Louis came over.
"Hey babe. Hey Nialler. S'up?" He asked.
"I was wondering why Niall wasn't joining us." Eleanor said her hands around Louis's neck.
"I'm just tired." I lied. Louis smirked.
"Really? Maybe you can't swim."
"I can swim!" I lied.
"Can't."
"Can."
"Can't."
"Can."
"Can't."
I was nearly in tears. "Louis shut up I can swim and that's final."
"Babe leave him alone he's tired. You're upsetting him." Eleanor said gently.
"YO EVERYONE!! NIALL HERE CANT SWIM!! BABY!!" Louis yelled. I let out a sob as everyone except Eleanor laughed. I think she went to get Y/n.
"I CAN SWIM!!" I screamed.
"PROVE IT!!"
Without thinking twice I dived into the pool and sank to the bottom. I thrashed around trying to swim back up my lungs bursting. No one was at the surface. With no breath left I opened my mouth and swallowed a heap of water everything going black.
Your P.O.V
Eleanor came into the kitchen as I grabbed a bottle of beer for Niall. "Hey El! S'up?" I smiled.
"Louis got everyone laughing at Niall and he's really upset."
I frowned. "What happened?"
"Louis kept saying that Niall couldn't swim and everyone laughed..."
She got cut off by a shout. "I CAN SWIM!!" Niall screamed.
"PROVE IT!!" Louis yelled.
There was a large splash and my face paled. "That wasn't Niall was it?"
"I think it was." She said sadly.
"EL HE CANT SWIM!!!" I screamed rushing outside. No sign of Niall. Louis was looking in the pool laughing. Eleanor whacked his head as I dived into the pool. I saw Niall lying unconscious at the bottom. Grabbing his waist I pulled him to the surface. Eleanor pulled him on to the tiled floor while everyone fell silent.
"Baby. Niall baby wake up darling. I love you sweetheart wake up." I said softly brushing his hair from his eyes. I pressed my lips to his and blew air into his mouth. Niall's chest jerked and he started coughing. Vomit came out of his mouth and he weakly groaned.
"Y/n..." Niall moaned.
"Yes baby I'm here. You're alright you're ok." I cooed pecking his forehead. Niall shivered and sneezed. Louis walked over.
"Nialler...I...I'm so sorry." He whispered with tears in his eyes. Niall cuddled into him and shook his head.
"S'okay Lou. Love you." He mumbled shutting his eyes. I picked Niall up and told everyone to continue having fun. Niall cuddled into me and I dried his shivering body with a warm towel. Niall cuddled into me the whole time his big blue eyes peeping out of the towel.
"Aw baby." I whispered while he made a soft whimpering noise. I dressed him in some comfy pyjamas and laid him in bed spreading the huge blanket sober his tiny body. Niall slid down underneath the covers until only his eyes were showing. He looked like a tiny frightened wet cold baby kitten. I couldn't resist cuddling him. Niall snuggled into me mumbling something about the cold. I embraced him keeping him warm as toast. Niall fumbled a bit and found his teddy cuddling it in his arms.
"You're adorable." I whispered to his half asleep figure. Niall hummed in respond before falling fast asleep in my arms.
(AWWWWWEEEEEEE!!)
