Finding My Way {A One Direction Fan Fiction}

Ch. 14

A/N - I don't really have much to say besides I'm sick, and that sucks, but it gives me more time to write! So yay for story, boo for me!! haha :) and the song this chapter is "The Way You Look Tonight." It gives me chills when I listen to it... one of my favs for sure!!

Rose's P.O.V.

The rush of adrenaline you get when you take the jump is incredible. It's own type of high. To feel the wind, eyes shut tight, as you soar through the air... And then it's over. I hit the water in what seemed like no time at all. I swam to the surface and breathed in deeply. I was panting from the exhilaration of the fall. I looked over at Sierra, who just frowned and shook her head at me. I knew when I did stuff like this it made her anxious. Whatever. It's not like it's her life. 

"C'mon! What are ya waiting for?" I shouted at the boys. I could tell they were nervous... Hell, I had been too, my first time. "It's okay! See, I'm fine," I added reassuringly, then swam to the shallow end. "Just aim for where I landed!"

Harry's P.O.V.

As soon as she jumped, we rushed to the edge of the roof and watched, mesmerized, as Rose made a huge splash below. As soon as she popped up, we all let out a deep breath. Huh, I hadn't;t realized I'd stopped breathing. She shouted up at us, attempting to calm us, but I honestly wasn't paying attention. I bit my lip.

"So... Who's next?" Liam asked, looking around at us.

"I will!" Louis shouted. I could tell he was a little nervous, but I could tell he felt like he needed to prove himself.

He lined himself up and took a deep breath. "Here goes nothing!" And he jumped off. We all watched again, transfixed, as he also landed safely. 

"WHOOOO! THAT WAS AWESOME!" Louis shouted up at us. We saw him swim over and start talking to Rose, but we couldn't hear their conversation.

"Right. So I'll go, then Liam, Niall and lastly Harry," Zayn decided, looking a lot calmer. The rest of the guys seemed to relax once Louis had gone, but not me. I've never been freaked out by heights before, but this just felt different for some reason. I watched carefully as each one of the remaining band members jumped, made it safely, and then scream about how amazing it was. Soon, much too soon, it was my turn.

"Right. This is easy. Everyone else did it," I muttered to myself. I positioned myself like everyone else had, took a running start, and jumped off the roof into the open air.

I felt absolutely free as I sailed through the air. It was incredible. I'd never been this pumped up before. And it was over and done with way too soon. The water slapped my feet when I hit the pool, making them sting a bit. I pushed my way up to the surface, grinning like crazy.

"Now I get what you guys were going on about," I said cheekily, then laughed along with the rest of them.

"I'm hungryyyyy," Niall complained, clutching his stomach.

"Yeah, cause it's 6:30," Sierra said.

"Are you kidding me?! How did it get so late?" Liam asked incredulously. 

"Never mind that! I need food!" Niall exclaimed.

"Okay, okay! Calm down! Let's all take a quick shower and then we can go out to dinner. I know a great Chinese place," Rose said.

"Yeah, I wouldn't want the chlorine to damage my hair," Zayn said, winking.

"Of course!" Niall, Liam, Louis, and I all exclaimed, rolling our eyes.

"I was just kidding," Zayn replied, faking a hurt expression.

"Well then hurry! I'm going to die of starvation soon," Niall said dramatically.

Rose shot me a 'what is wrong with that child?' glance. I grinned, grabbed her hand, which made her blush, and we followed the rest of the boys inside.

Rose's P.O.V.

A half an hour later, we were all ready. I was wearing a white lace pencil skirt, flowy coral top, and white sandals. I let my hair dry naturally, so basically beachy waves but crazier, grabbed my white purse and iPhone, and headed to Sierra's room. I started laughing when I saw her outfit.

"We are so matching! This is freaky!" she shrieked. She was wearing a plain black pencil skirt, blue flowy shirt that brought out her eyes, and black toms.

"That would happen. Let's see what's taking the boys so long," I replied grabbing her arm.                                             

As it turns out, they were waiting for us downstairs. Haha oh well, they better get used to it. My eyes were instantly drawn to Harry. He was wearing a dark grey v-neck, skinny jeans, and converse. He looked amazing. 

"What car should we take?" I asked Sierra.

"Hmmm.. well, there's seven of us so the Escalade. Unless you want to take two cars, of course," Sierra replied.

"Escalade it is!" I exclaimed. We all hopped in, me driving and Harry shotgun. Sierra and the rest of the boys were fighting over the spots in the back. Eventually we all settled in and I took off. 

Liam's P.O.V.

"Please Liam?" Louis begged.

"No, Louis. We can't bring a puppy on tour with us," I chuckling, although I was a bit frustrated. I had gotten stuck in the back of the car, right next to Louis. And he was trying to persuade me to adopt a puppy to bring with us on tour. Typical Louis.

"Pretty please?" he begged.

"Louis! No! Besides it isn't even up to me. That's managements job," I replied.

"But they'll just say no!" Louis pleaded, shaking my arm.

"So you already know the answer," I said. I watched Harry and Rose up front. He said something to her and she giggled. My stomach clenched up in a knot. I mentally slapped myself. This was ridiculous. I was dating Danielle. We were happy together, right?

"OI! LIAM!" Zayn shouted at me, bringing me back to reality.

"Right. Sorry," I muttered. Everyone else was already out of the car... oops.
