JULY

It was the second week of July, and One Direction was in San Diego, California for their next show on the 9th. They were staying at a hotel on the coast, so all of them were eager to go to the beach. They changed clothes and went outside, their security team trailing behind.

Louis, Harry, and Liam went straight to the water, while Niall stayed behind and set up a blanket and some chairs. He applied sunscreen, too, because a burn would not be good on his pale skin during their tour.

They had brought two balls to play volleyball with, (the second was for the very likely event that Louis misplaced the first.) and after the boys dried themselves off, the went over to the beach volleyball courts. The teams were Harry and Niall versus Louis and Liam.

After 10 minutes, the score was 3-5, with Liam and Louis winning. Liam mostly did al the work, but Louis fulfilled his side of the work with trash talk to Harry and Niall. Harry served the ball, Louis returned it over the net, but missed the boundaries by a lot.

"I'll get it!" Niall volunteered and ran off to get the ball. Louis went to the bathroom, and Harry went to find something to eat, leaving Liam alone at the court. After a few minutes, Niall still hadn't come back.

Where was he? Liam looked around, and saw Niall talking to some random guy. He bit his lip. Who was this guy? He walked over to Niall, who had forgotten about the ball. When he finally reached him, he hadn't noticed him until the older lad said, "Niall, what's taking so long?"

Niall looked up. "Oh hey Liam," he grinned, "these are some fans. They wanted a picture, sorry."

Liam nodded and grabbed the ball. He was a little upset, but hid it. He was also a little jealous, but denied it. He nudged Niall and started walking away, and Niall followed.

"Hey!" The boy who Niall had been taking to Niall earlier called out. He was pretty attractive, now that he saw him up close, and Liam admitted in his head that he was a little jealous. "What are you doing tonight?" The boy winked at the blonde.

Liam bit his lip so hard, he almost drew blood. He put his arm around Niall, then shot the other boy a glare and said, "He's busy. With me."

He walked away with a smirk on his face, and Niall, who was utterly confused.
