My Best Friends Cousin | Tom Holland

Chapter 6- 17 part 4

We finish eating the ice cream and we make sure Paddy is clean before starting to walk home.

When we get there we walk in and stop, jaws dropping at the sight. The adults are dancing by the tv, Harry, Sam, Harrison and Tom all shocked staring at them from the couch.

"Don't make any sudden movements" Harrison whispers to us as we slowly walk in.

"Meet me in my room" I whisper before everyone bolts to the stairs, fighting to get up.

Everyone darts into my room, shutting the door and Sam and Harry sit in front of it as Sara knocks on the door.

"Come on kids, let's dance!" Rob exclaims and I quickly turn the lights off.

I hear a jump to see Tom walking away from Bucky, who's walking toward him. I quickly pick Bucky up, giving an apologetic smile at Tom and he smiles back before I set Bucky on my bed, him instantly laying down.

"Lets go dance, they will come out soon. Especially when Macy and Karissa want to go to the beach" Dominic says and macy and We look at each other, cursing.

"That's an evil trick" Macy shouts as there's laughter.

"You guys are going to the beach?" Harrison asks and we nod, Harry turning the light on.

"We always do" I say, shrugging.

"I see" he nods and I hear the door.

"I'm going to the restroom" I say, dabbing my swimsuit and the cover up romper, Macy grabbings her stuff.

"Be safe" Paddy grabs my hand as he talks and I raffle his hair.

We exit, carefully running to the restroom and locking the door. I owe quickly before changing.

"Come on" macy whispers and we knock on the door lightly.

"I don't hear them" I whisper to macy as he door opens.

"We are going to bolt to the beach" macy says as we grab our phones.

"You guys coming?" I ask Sam and Harry and they nod.

We hurry downstairs, looking around.

"Party time" Sara says and we all run to the door.

"Love you guys, going to the beach" we all call our, hearing them laugh as we shut the door, walking down the beach.

"I love the beach when it gets dark" I state, taking the romper off and laying my phone on it.

Macy and I get in the water as Harry and Sam look through photos on his camera.

"Oh that's a good one" Sam says as I go under water.

"Hey you guys don't mind if we take some pictures of you guys, do you?" Sam asks.

"I don't mind" we both say as we float in the water, talking.

••••

"Hey what's your favorite picture you've taken?" I ask Harry as we lay back in the wet sand, watching the sun set.

"Probably this one" he says and shows us a picture of Macy's and I. We're falling into the water, Macy is grinning while I'm laughing, my eyes clenched shut.

"You're talented with this stuff" I smile.

"Thanks" he grins.

He asks macy to do a few things, taking pictures.

He asks me to do a few things, the last one being a cartwheel into the water.

I'm laying in the water, floating when I hear a voice.

"Hey!" Harrison shouts. I look up to see him and Tom.

"Remembered Macy, incest is bad" I say and she shoves me under the water slightly.

"Love you" I laugh, diving underwater and feeling around, grabbing something and piling it out.

"Karissa did you just grab a crab" she says and I hold it away from me.

"Hey buddy" I say, scared.

It just sits there.

"I think it's I say sadly, poking it. It doesn't move.

"We need to have a burial for it" I say and Macy laughs, is swimming to the shore and digging a hole.

"What do you have?" Sam asks and I hold up the dead crab.

"What the hell" he says backing up.

"Don't worry, its dead" I say and he raises his eyebrows.

"That doesn't make it better" he laughs.

"Why did you pick up a dead crab?" Harrison asks.

"Look I thought it was a rock!" I exclaim. Setting the crab in the hole and burying it.

••••

"It's beautiful out" I say as I sit in the shallow part of the water.

"I'm more beautiful" Harry says and I just smile.

"Hey" Harrison says, looping himself by me.

"Yo" I say.

"How old are you?" He asks and I raise an eyebrow.

"17" I say and he nods.

We talk more before someone drags me into the water.

"Harry!" I yell, laughing.

"You're fault for not paying attention" he sings, lifting his head from the water.

"Dork" I laugh out, swipe the water fro lm my face and smiling.

"Hey you know my brother likes you, right?" He asks.

"Sam?" I ask and he shakes his head.

"No" he smiles.

"Paddy?" I ask.

"No, Tom" he laughs as my face goes red.

"What?" I ask, confused.

"No, he doesn't like me" I say and he wraps his arm around me, turning me to the beach where everyone else is.

"Oh yeah? Just look at him" he says and my eyes skim across the beach till they reach Tom. His arms are crossed and I can't really tell from here but he looks pissed.

"Maybe he stubbed his toe" I say as I turn to him.

"Yeah, stubbed his toe in jealousy" he says and I shove him away lightly, laughing.

"Oh come on, I've talked to him like.. a few times" I say as we start swimming to the shore slowly.

"Oh well" he shrugs, me going over to Macy, wringing my hair out a bit and shaking it.

"You wanna stay up all night watching friends and bringing on junk food" I ask ask she nods.

"When don't I?" She asks and I smile.

"We're gonna head inside, we'll see you guys later, Okay?" Macy asks as we grab our stuff and head back up the beach.

"What did you and Harry talk about?" She asks as we enter the kitchen, grabbing food.

"You don't wanna know"
