We're Different... We're Mermaids.

CH. IX (9)

Niall looked at Jade.

"Umm another dare please?" he said and Jade looked to the ground like she was about to cry.

"Nope." Harry said. I gave the eye as in to stop. Jade got up and walked out the house.

"Jade!" Niall yelled and was about to go after her but Louis stopped him. Lou knew where she was going.

"Niall give her time." he said. No one else moved.

"Awkward silence." I said to break it. They laughed a bit. I started making random faces at Niall.

"Apex is your face ok?" he asked looking at me funny. I busted out laughing.

"Yes I'm fine."

"Ohhh can we go swimming?!" Harry asked. I looked at Louis, then Pay. Pay shook her head yes.

"Sure but Pay and I are gonna stay out." I said. They all went to change.

"Are you sure this is ok?" I asked Louis who was only in his swim trunks.

"Ya I won't let them through you two in." he said. I grabbed his hand and we outside. All the boys, were in the water. The girls left early this morning. Pay and I were tanning.

"Girls don't be so afraid of the water." Harry called.

"We aren't afraid just don't want to swim!" I called back. I felt the sun being covered. I opened my eyes and Niall was standing over me and Harry was standing over Payson.

"Don't touch me!" I said and closed my eyes again. I felt arms go under me.

"Niall put her down!" Louis said but he didn't.

"Payson!" I screamed. She was trying to get out of Harry's arms. I tried to think. I froze time. I got out of Niall's arms and Payson got out of Harry's.

"Inside or ocean?" she asked.

"Inside." I said. Jade needed time on her own. We ran inside and I unfroze the time.

"Girls!" Louis shouted.

"In here!" I shouted. We were in a closet and I pulled him in.

"What was that?!" he shouted and I covered his mouth with my hand.

"I froze time. I had to." I told him.

"Ok but the guys are questioning what they saw." he said.

"We have to tell them." I told Payson.

"What about Jade?" she asked.

"We won't tell them about her. Just about us. If she wants to tell them then she can." I said. We all walked out the closet and outside.

"Guys we need to tell you all something." I said. They nodded. I looked at Payson. She started off by catching a bush on fire. I put it out with ice.

"We're mermaids." we said at the same time.

*End of summer. September 7th.*

We are in NYC. The boys have a concert tonight at MSG. They helped Payson and I move into our dorms. It was really hard having to leave Hawaii. The guys were at practice and Payson and I were about to leave to go to the concert. I was wearing British flag tights with a knit sweater and converse with my treble clef and heart neckless Louis gave me. Payson was wearing a pokodot 3 quarter sleeve shirt with a blue skirt that was mid thigh and black ballet flats, also her diamond heart neckless Harry gave her. Jade was wearing a red tank and navy blue pokodotted skirt with red flats and her 4 leaf clover neckless Niall gave her. My hair was in a fish tail, Paysons was in a four braid, and Jades was in a braid up do. We got in our car and drove to MSG. When we go there the security guards already knew us so we walked in and went to their dressing room.
