Who Knew? (A Zayn Malik/One Direction fan fiction) ON HOLD

Chapter 3

Stacy's PoV

I sighed before trying to get comfortable in my chair. Greg still wasn't here so I still had to take over. I don't even understand why he chose me to be the temporary lifeguard, considering that I have no experience whatsoever and I'm a total klutz. I'm not even the best swimmer. I tried relaxing. I was alone by the pool anyway. I looked at the view, which was in front of me. It was incredibly gorgeous. The way the daylight reflected on the water was a sight that couldn't be forgotten. I'm kinda glad Greg let me take over. This was because I had a feeling about this place, like it was a place I would come back to in the near future. I shrugged it off though.

Beep. Beep. Beep.

My phone vibrated in my hand. A new message.

From: Alex :)

Stacy! Where the hell are you?!

To: Alex :)

I could ask you the same thing. I'm back at the pool. Where are you anyway?

From: Alex :)

I've been in places. I'll be there in 5.

I sighed. Greg still wasn't in sight, nor was Alex. It was getting a bit cold. Where are they? I lazily climbed down the chair. I decided to go for a swim. The chair wasn't the comfiest. I was lucky, for today the pool was heated and apparently empty. I walked over to the shallow end, carefully dipping my foot in the water to check its temperature. I shivered at the coldness. I knew it would be cold but it might get bit warmer if I stay in for a little while. I walked deeper into the pool, wincing at how cold it was every now and then. I waited a few moments before deciding to go underwater. I loved swimming, well, ever since I found out that I could hold my breath for a long time. 3 minutes and a half, that's the longest I've ever held my breath. Though, I couldn't open my eyes underwater without goggles. I swam quickly, blindly too, I didn't have goggles at the moment. I couldn't stop now. I swam faster, pretending I was in some sort of competition. "Stacy! Stacy!" I heard someone call out to me. My head collided with something hard, and I slowly lost consciousness.

I woke up to the sound of a faint feminine, but defiantly male, voice. “Hmm? What’s going on?” I asked, my eyes half-lidded as I yawned. “Stacy!” I heard the same voice call out to me. It was Alex. He ran over to me and hugged me. “How dare you swim and get hurt? I was so worried! Luckily, Greg got there just in time to save you. Don’t you dare do that ever again okay?” he started saying. “What happened Alex? Did I get severely injured?” I asked. “Nope. Thank God that it’s only a concussion,” he told me. I nodded before getting my phone.

“Oh and Stacy?”

“What?”

“I kind of told the boys about what happened.”

“You what?!” Not only do I have to deal with my condition, I have to deal with them knowing about it. I checked my phone to see if I had any new messages. 8 new messages. 2 were from Harry, and 6 were from unknown numbers. I opened the ones from Harry.

From: Harry xx

Stacy, are you okay?

From: Harry xx

Text me when you wake up.x

To: Harry xx

Yeah I’m fine.

I decided to open the other messages.

From: Unknown Number

Please tell me that you’re okay. x –Zayn

Oh, it was the perverted guy I saved. I saved his number then changed his name.

From: Zayn

Anus, are you okay? x –Zayn

From: Zayn

Text me back when you can. x –Zayn

To: Zayn

Yes, I’m fine.

There were more messages but I decided to get breakfast first. “Hey Alex? Can we get some food? I’m starving!” I whined. He laughed before nodding. “We have to ask the doctor if we can leave now,” he said. He pressed a button, which called the doctor. A few moments later, a doctor came in. “You called?” he asked while pushing his glasses up. “Yeah. We were wondering if I could leave,” I told him. He checked his clipboard before saying, “I believe so Ms. George.” I nodded while thanking him. “Let’s go Stacy!” Alex said cheerfully.

We went to the different restaurants which were found in different parts of the hospital. “But I want pasta Stacy!” Alex whined as we walked past a fancy-looking restaurant. “Oh come on Alex. We’re getting McDonalds. We have to hurry though. It’s 9:30 and they stop selling breakfast at 10. But, McDonalds clearly know that most teenagers wake up at like 12. They should sell all-day breakfast instead. Maybe I’ll be happy when that happens,” I said, starting to rant. He pouted. “Fine,” he said grumpily. We headed inside McDonalds and ordered. I ordered a sausage mcmuffin with egg and hot chocolate while Alex ordered a big breakfast with hot chocolate. We both paid for our meals then headed downstairs to the exit.

I stood on the sidewalk while drinking my hot chocolate. I just noticed that it was morning. Did I really sleep that long? I decided to answer the unopened messages I had.

From: Unknown Number

Aw, we heard what happened. You okay? –Louis

To: Louis

Yeah I’m fine.

From: Unknown Number

Stacy! How are you? –Nialler

To: Niall

I’m fine Niall.

From: Unknown Number

Stacy, we heard about the accident. How are you, and is the injury severe? –Liam

To: Liam

I’m fine. Nothing major, it’s just a concussion.

I sighed. They cared? It was strange. They didn’t really know me. Also, the fact that Zayn sent me the most texts was weird. I then remembered what Harry said to me while asking me for my number.

“By the way, Zayn fancies you!”

I don’t know if he was kidding or not. He said a bit playfully, so maybe he was.

“Stacy!” A voice snapped me out of my thoughts. “Huh?” I asked. “You’ve been staring at your phone for 5 minutes straight and it’s getting creepy. What were you thinking about? A more appropriate question would be who were you thinking about?” Alex asked teasingly. Ugh, typical Alex. Ever since we met, he’s been trying to hook me up with someone. “It was nothing. Let’s go,” I said while holding him by the wrist and hailing a taxi. We got inside the taxi and gave him directions back to our flat. I can’t wait to get back.
