Tour Life

Chapter 9 Trouble in Paradise

Julia's POV

I had to admit, this place was awesome.

It had an indoor waterpark in the hotel that we were staying in. Cool, right?!

"Wanna go up to the rooms first?" Calum ask. Everyone mutually agrees and we get two room keys.

Our room is on the 6th floor I think.

The room is huge.

The room set ups have two queen sized beds and a pull out couch.

"I want this one!" Michael yells, running to the room across from us.

"How bout boys take a room, and girls take a room?" Liz suggests.

"Alright." Ashton responds.

Bea and I decide to sleep on one of the queen sized beds, and let Liz take the other one.

Not even a second after we close our door, we hear a slight knock. I peak out the door to see all the boys in their swim trunks, ready to go to the beach.

"Get your swimsuits on!" Michael yells. I giggle and shut the door.

Liz packed my hot pink swimsuit, so I slip into that, and Bea slips into a black and gold one.

We open the door, to see the boys gathered around our door.

"Race you down to the beach!" I yell at them, as I race down the hallway. I hear their loud footsteps racing behind me. Glancing back for a second, I see Calum catching up to me. I shriek and run even faster.

Arriving at the beach first, I bask in the glory. "I won!" I shout playfully at Calum, who is pouting.

"Do you know how to surf?" Luke asks me.

"A little bit. Do you?" I ask.

"Yep." He says.

Ashton laughs, "He looks like he can surf, but cannot."

Luke punches him in the arm, making Ashton whimper.

Luke smirks.

Since Bea, Michael, Ashton, Calum and I all somehow knew how to surf, they rented some surfboards for us all.

"I'll stick to swimming, thank you very much." Luke says.

I giggle.

I drag my surfboard out deeper into the ocean, and place my foot inside the string. I waited for a wave to come, and when I saw one, I got prepared.

Jumping onto the surfboard, I surf the wave for a split second before I am fully submerged into the sea-salty water.

I rub my eyes after rising to the top of the sea. I see the group ahead of me, so I trudge over to them.

Before I know it, I'm swept off my feet and pushed under the water. I try to rise to the top but fail. My foots caught on something.

I'm gonna die!

I struggle to release my foot. The string that was on the surfboard somehow got caught on coral or something.

I'm gonna die like her.

Thrashing all around, I start to gasp for air.

Just as I'm about to black out, I faintly see someone detach my foot.

I think I am raised to the top, gasping for air.

"It's okay!" Someone calmly tells me.

It's Calum.

I can't seem to catch my breath, so I'm kinda wheezing or something.

"I almost died," I manage to get out.

I taste salt in my mouth, but it's a mixture of tears along with the horrible sea.

Still gasping for air, I am brought back to sand.

"You're okay babe." He tells me.

I cough out a bit of sea water, as I see Luke run over with some towels.

"Love, you're alright. Calm down." Calum tells me.

I finally am able to catch my breath so I cry into Calum's wet shoulder, as Luke drapes the towel across me.

He kisses me on top of the head.

The rest of the bunch comes over, Ashton carrying a bottle of water.

I take a sip of the cold liquid, relieving the salty taste from my mouth.

"I almost died like her." I mumble to myself.

"Her?" Michael questions.

I nod.

"Who's her?"

I swallow before answering, "Kaitlynne."
