Under the Water (One Direction/ Mermaid) ON HOLD

Ch. 15: Memories

Zoe's POV

I groaned as I felt the pain in my head when I woke up. I didn't want to get out of bed, so I cuddled back up to my pillow.

Wait.

I opened my eyes and realized that I was laying on someone... Niall?!

I tried to get up by grabbing a shelf from the metal bookcase to pull myself up, but what I grabbed wasn't the shelf. It was a bucket of water. WHY IS THAT EVEN IN HERE?! The water spilled on me and Niall because I was still laying on him, and we both transformed in 10 seconds.

Once my tail formed, I didn't feel hungover. Why didn't I feel hungover anymore? Whatever, I'll deal with that later. Now I need to wake Niall up.

"Niall. Niall, get up. Ni, I need you to wake up." I said, trying to shake him awake which is difficult because it shake me as well, having to lie on top of him cause I can't go anywhere! He wouldn't wake up, so I had to get into his mind. I can't dry both of us off alone.

"Niall! I need you to wake up!" I mind messaged him. He startled awake, almost hitting my head.

"What happened?" He asked, holding on to me as if if we moved someone would die.

"I was trying to get up and accidentally poured a bucket of water on us. I need you to help me dry us off." I told him.

"Okay, on three. One, two three." He said and we both put our hands out, moving them around us to dry everything. Steam floated around the room as our legs grew back. I stood up and reached out a hand to help Niall up. I tried to open the door, but it was locked.

"Those idiots must have locked us in here." I said.

"It's locked." I told Niall, turning back to him. "Those idiots must have fallen asleep on us."

"Guess we're stuck in here for the night. Best get comfortable." Niall said sitting on the ground. I looked at him, and he held his hand out for me to sit with him. I took it and he pulled me down with him.

"I'm not sleeping like this, Ni..." I told him, my eyes already starting to close with how tired I am.

"Okay, hold on." He said. i got up and he began moving some things around, then he lied down. "C'mere." He said.

"Where am I supposed to go?" I smiled slightly.

"C'mon, you're sleeping on top of me."

"Woah." I said, quietly. Was that a memory from last night? Who am I kidding of course it was!

"What? What happened?" Niall asked.

"Uh-nothing. It's fine." I stuttered. Now how are we gonna get out of here?

"We're idiots." I said, using my powers to unlock the door. "We could have done that last night." I said, grabbing the handle and opening the door.

"Wow." Niall said when we got to the living room. Everyone was passed out and the room was a mess of drinks and bottles.

"Do you remember anything from last night?" Niall asked.

"No! No, nothing at all." I said a little too quickly. I could tell he was suspicious but he didn't question me further. I walked over to Louis and tried to get him up.

"Louis, get up." I said. It took a few variants of that and shaking him to make him get up.

"Ugh, why are you talking so loud?!" He semi yelled, making everyone else wake up and groan.

"Great, now we get to deal with a bunch of hangovers." Niall said.

Wait, the transformation made Niall and I not be hungover anymore, maybe that will work for everyone else? Besides Harry an Liam of course.

"Come with me." I whispered to Niall, leading him to the kitchen.

"What's going on?" He asked.

"A few minutes ago, when I accidentally spilled water on us. It made my hangover go away. Maybe it will work for Luke, Ashton and Louis?" I smirked, grabbing two water bottles. "Grab one." I told him, and he did.

"Follow me." I told him, leading him back to the living room. We put the water bottles on the table and I pulled him upstairs.

"Okay, follow my lead." I said.

"I have been this whole time, m'lady." Niall said cheekily.

I slowly move one of my hands up, using my power to lift the water from one bottle of water and levitated it over my brother. I moved my other hand and did the same thing for Luke. Niall levitated water above Ashton.

"One.." I whispered.

"Two..." Niall whispered back, a mischievous smile on his face.

"Give 'em hell." I smirked, dropping my hands. The water splashed over the three mermen and over the floor. "Now you see why I didn't want to be on the floor." I said, drying the floor around the boys but not them.

We walked down and got glares from three mermen on the floor.

"Was that really necessary?" Louis asked, pissed off.

"Do you have hangovers anymore?" I smirked when Luke Ashton and Louis all realized that no, they didn't. Then, water hit Niall and I from behind and we both fell to the ground.

"Yeah, well we still do!" Harry groaned, a water bottle in his hand. Prick.

"Ugh, we were so drunk last night." Liam said.

I turned the lights on and looked at Niall. I stumbled into him, giggling.

"Ni, I'm so drunk..." I smiled lazily at him.

"Me too..." He said.

"So..." I trailed off.

"What?" He asked and I scoffed.

"Kiss me, you fool." I told him, grabbing the back of his neck and colliding our lips. His hands went to the small of my back as he pulled me closer to him. Our lips moved together, my arms around his neck and his hands on my butt.

"Um, Zo? You okay?" Louis asked.

"Yeah, of course. I'm always okay." I said with a fake smile on my face. I quickly dried my tail, getting my legs back. I stood up and looked at the guys, who still had tails. I shook my head, before turning and rushing up to my room. I grabbed my phone, checking for anything.

*from: Connor
Hey so we decided to go see Deadpool tonight. Is that cool with you?*

*to: Connor
Yeah, that's fine! That movie looks hilarious! What time?*

He responded immediately.

*from: Connor
7:00. I'm gonna come and pick you up around 6:00. Okay?*

*to: Connor
I'll come to you. See you at 6:00.*

I decided to get ready now and then go for a swim to get away from everything for a while. I took a bath and got dressed, then did my make up. Once that was all done, I walked downstairs quietly, trying to leave without anyone seeing me.

"Where are you going?" A voice asked from behind me. I turned, Louis.

"I'm going for a swim." I told him simply, making my way to the back door.

"Oh, well I'll come with you." He said.

"Thanks, but no thanks. I just want to be alone right now." I told him.

"Are you okay?" He asked, grabbing my wrist gently.

"I'm fine. Just let me go." I said, pulling my wrist from his grasp and ran out the door, down the stairs, and jumped into the ocean.

-.-.-.-.-.-.-

So it's been like a couple of months.... Heya.

I've had crap going on but I'm sorry.

Um... Till next time...?
