[ON HOLD] Defensive 'Till The End (Harry Styles, One Direction Fan Fiction)

Chapter 30 - At the Pool

The drive to the pool is awkward. Once Lucas got in the car he said hey to Harry and introduced himself to Mandy. Harry ignores him completly and when Lucas tried to talk to Harry again, he turns up the music too loudly.

I reached over and turned it down only for Harry to turn it back up. I grab his wrist and pull it away giving him a warning look as he looks at me. His eyes are off of the road for a good ten seconds and I only break the stare because I fear for my  life.

That is how we ended up here pulling into the parking lot of the pool with Blink-182 playing a little too loudly.

We all climb out and grab our things. I have never been to this pool so I'm excited to see what its like. I probably won't be swiming but hopefully it will he an outside pool so I can soak up some sun.

As we enter the pool after paying, I jump up and down in excitement. I look over at Harry and he's smiling at me. Hes actually smiling.

That is until Lucas grabs my hand and pulls me to the chairs on the ouside of the pool.

The pool is massive! It is as deep as twelve feet at on end and three at the other. It is the normal square shape and all around it is about two feet of tile. Past the tile is all grass and as I step on it I know immediately it is real. Along the grass are lawn chairs spread randomly some with towels and other people belongs and some empty.

I see four lawn chairs close together and notice they're empty. I throw my bag on the green one and yell:

"Dibs!" Mandy takes the blue one on my left side and Lucas my right for the blue one.

Harry stands in front if all of us for a second and the looks back and forth between the seats on either side of me.

He lets out a soft grunt and takes the seat next to Mandy two seats down from mine.

I shrug and stand up to pull my shorts down. I unbutton them and carefully slip them down making sure not to take my bottoms with me. I pick them up from the ground and put them  in my bag when I hear Mandy cough.

I look at her and she nudges her head in Harry's direction. I look over at him and see him starring at my bottom half. To be more specific, my butt. He is biting his lip and I roll my eyes. He can't go one hour without getting turned on. I smile to my self as I pull out my towel and lay it out on the back of my chair.

I make sure to straighten the edges and the place my bag on the ground. I sit on my chair and lean back ready to enjoy this steamy day in London.

"Oh no you don't. Were are going into the pool immediately. I'm already burning." Mandy laughs pulling on my arm.

I shake my head vigorously. I can't swim. My wrap will float up and show my scar.

"Just wait a little." She shakes her head and turns around to jump in the pool. Even though its scortching hot, the pool is not that busy.

"Are you even planning on swimming?" Harry asks quietly. I shake my head and frown.

"Its hard to hide." I don't emphasize on what I'm talking about but Harry knows it's my scar.

"Babe I-"

"Shhh!!" I cut in. I don't want Lucas to over hear. Harry lets out a loud sigh and I look over at Lucas to make sure he didn't hear what Harry called me.

He is staring out at the pool so I let out a sigh of relief. He looks at me and smiles taking my hand.

"C'mon! Lets go swimming!" Lucas gets up taking me with him. I pull away shaking my head.
