*Zoe's POV*

I walked into the house and the guys were all sitting on the couch watching tv. All except..... Louis.

"Guys..?" I said. They all looked up at me. "Where's Lou?" I asked.

"He said something going for a swim. To clear his mind." Liam said.

Man, I really messed up.

"Okay." I said, running out the back of the house, down the stairs to the beach.

"Where are you going?!" I heard Harry yell. I stopped on the stair and looked up at him.

"I'm going to find my brother!" I yelled back. He nodded his head and walked back in the house.

I continued down the stairs and dived into the water. Bubbles formed around me and my legs tingled, then my tail popped. I swam pretty fast, not as fast as possible though, passing by dolphins and fish. Eventually, I came to the entrance of the cave and slowed down. I slowly swam in the cave and saw Louis with his back turned to me. His arms were resting on the rocks by the sand of the cave. (It's like the inside of Mako. Look it up). He must have heard me swim in because he turned around when I hit the surface. We stared at each other for about 5 seconds (of summer) before we both said:

"I'm sorry." At the same time.

"Wait, you're sorry? You have no reason to be. I was the one who ran to see the guys." I said.

"I should have just let you go see them. Then you wouldn't have had to run." He said.

"Why do you not like them?" I asked.

"It's not that I don't like them, it's just that, they know our secret. They have the power to tell anyone they want." He said.

"B, it's Alfie, Joe, and Marcus. You know that they wouldn't do that." I told him, putting a hand on his shoulder.

"I know, Zee. It's just the thought that drives me mad. And, you're my sister. I'm gonna be protective over you. I just don't want you getting hurt." He said.

"Alfie wouldn't hurt me." I said.

"Again, I know.... I just- I don't know anymore, Zo." He sighed, running his hands over his face. He does that when he get frustrated.

"Lou..." I trailed off, pulling him in for a hug.

"You know, I feel like we've been in this situation before." He said, sitting back on the rock.

"Yeah, like a few days ago." I said.

"Just think. We've only been here 4 days, and we've already discovered new mermaids, almost got caught by the boys, and fought at least twice." He said.

"And discovered this place." I told him.

"Yeah."

We sat talking for like half an hour, before heading back to shore. The boys were all sitting on the beach. My eyes widened.

"Where are we going, Louis?" I asked him when he grabbed my hand.

"Somewhere to dry off without getting seen." He said. We pulled up on the shore behind some rocks, and dried off. We both got up and walked back to the house, avoiding the guys. Once we got there, I pulled my phone out and called Liam.

"Where are you guys?!?! We have been looking for you for half an hour!!" He yelled into the phone. I had it on speaker so Louis could hear.

"We're at the house. We came back half an hour ago!" I lied. Louis gave me a look, and I shrugged.

"Guys, they're at the house." Liam told the others.

"Well, lets get 'em!" I heard Harry yell. Oh crap. They must have something. Like water guns or something.

"Louis, let's hide before they come up here!" I said, hanging up on Liam.

"Where?!" He yelled.

"Follow me!" I said, grabbing his hand. We ran up the stairs and got into my room, before we heard the front door open.

"Water gun fight!!!" Liam yelled.

"They'll find us up here, Zo!" Louis said.

"No they won't. Come on!" I said, going into my closet. I pulled the ladder down and climbed up. Louis claimed up after me and his eyes widened.

"When did you-" he started, but I cut him off.

"Do you want to talk, or have them find us?!?" I said, pulling the ladder up, making sure the string was not showing.

'So, we can't talk?' Louis mind messaged me.

'This place is soundproof, but we better be quiet just in case.' I said back.

'Oh.is this where you were hiding when you said you were in the house?' He asked

'Yeah....' I said.

'That's my little sister, always being sneaky.' He said, and I looked at him. He winked, making me smile.

"You're only 4 minutes older!' I said. He chuckled.

'Yeah, but I'm still older.'

'Technically Taiyewo, as Kahinde, I'm older, and you're my slave.' I said. (IF YOU KNOW WHAT YOUTUBER AND VIDEO THIS IS FROM, I LOVE YOU!!!) (comment if you do know)

'Yeah, but that is in Africa, this is not Africa.' He said,

Then, I heard the door open.

"Liam, they're not in here!" I heard Harry yell. Then I heard footsteps.

"Check in the closet." Liam said.

'KEEP COMPLETELY STILL!!' I told Louis.

We both froze and waited for Liam and Harry to leave. Once they left, we both let out a huge breath. I got up and walked over to the desk that had my camera, and my computer.

"Lou, you want to shoot a video with me? I really need to update my subscribers on what's happening." I said.

"Yeah, sure. Sounds like fun!" He said. He's never made a video with me.

I set up my background and some chairs and my camera and we started filming.

"Hey, everyone! I'm back!!!" I yelled.
