I ran out of my room following Harry down the hall.

"Harry! Stop!" I yelled, watching him turn the corner. I quickly followed behind him and yelled again, "Harry!" He finally turned around to face me.

"He deserves it, Emily. I have to do this." He argued. He ran his fingers through his hair in frustration.

"No, you don't. Don't ruin our time together. Let's go scuba diving or parasailing or whatever just lets not do this." I pleaded. Harry looked at me, thinking carefully. He glanced at the stairwell behind him before turning back to me. He let out a loud sigh.

"Fine. But we better go scuba diving." A small smile crept onto his face. I smiled back, I was glad the normal happy Harry was back. "The other boys are coming too, okay?" He asked and I nodded in response. He walked me back to my room, so we could I could get ready.

"Why don't you go back to your room and get ready and I'll text you." I told Harry. He agreed and left to get himself ready.

When he was gone, I slipped into a black bikini and put some jean shorts and a loose sweater. I made my way into the bathroom to put on makeup. I studied my appearance in the mirror, how was I going to hide the bruises? I searched through my mom's makeup looking for something that would work. I ended up caking on tons of concealer, foundation, and powder, hopefully no one would notice. It didn't look terrible, it just didn't look quite right. There was nothing else I could do but pray no one would point it out. I fixed my hair and sweater to cover as much as I possibly could. I sent a quick text to Harry to let him know I was ready.

-Ill be there in a minute, the lads are almost ready.

I waited patiently for the boys to show up. Before I knew it, soft knocks sounded at my door. I answered right away, only to be swarmed by four boys. They all gave me great big hugs, greeting me with a smile. I looked around, to make sure my eyes weren't deceiving me.

"Where's Zayn?" I asked. They all looked at each other and then back at me. "What?" I asked again, "What's wrong?" I watched as Louis muffled his laughs, I was so confused.

"Zayn got left on the island." Louis bursted out in laughter, the rest of the boys joined in laughing. "He didn't make it back by midnight and the boat left without him." Louis explained. I joined in laughing with the boys.

"Well let's go!" Harry budded in, leading us all out of my room, and into the elevator.

After checking in at the Scuba Shack, an instructor led us to the locker rooms to change into our wet suits. There was a thin wall to separate the boys and girls rooms. I went into the girls one and noticed there was no one else here. I stripped off my clothes and put the wet suit over my bathing suit. I was having trouble getting the suit over my arms, and I couldn't zip it up the back, so I called for one of the boys. It took them a second, but finally Niall turned the corner into the girls side. He had his hand covering his eyes.

"Niall, I have a bathing suit on, and no one else is in here." I laughed as his childish behavior. He removed his hand from his eyes and laughed. Niall helped me pull the wet suit over my arms and shoulders, and then zipped up the back for me. When I turned around to thank him, there was a strange look on his face, he almost looked sympathetic. "Thanks." I muttered, trying to figure out what his problem was.

All the boys got into their wetsuits and we met outside. The guide led us to the boat, and helped us put on our masks, flippers, and oxygen tanks. We drove the boat out to a coral reef, and the guide explained how everything was going to work. Once we arrived at the coral reef, we were ready to get into the water.
