She's not afraid

24. Old scars

*Jessie's P.O.V*

After swimming for about an hour with the boys and El and Dani, after many water fights, and many games of Marco Polo where Louis always seemed to be it, we decided to start heading up to this nice little booth where you can get food. We all decided on hamburgers and Niall rushed to be the first one in line for his food.

"Uhm you cut me" Harry complained to Niall from behind us and Niall just shrugged his shoulders and looked straight ahead.

"Asshole" Harry whispered while rolling his eyes, and Louis noticed Harry's irritation and hugged him tight.

"Don't worry Harry Berry, ill get you something good to eat!" Louis exclaimed and I let out a chuckle at Louis excitement.

Harry cracked a dimpled smile and hugged Lou back.

We continued to wait in line. Desperate for our rumbling tummies to be fed and Niall wrapped his arm around my waste, pulling me into him. His wet chest gave me goosebumps. I leaned my head into his chest and slowly closed my eyes as his breathing and the movement of his chest rising and falling soothed me.

"Zayn!!! Zayn!" We heard someone yelling.

We all quickly turned to see where the voice was coming from. And of course it was a pap.

He was holding a camera in his hands and was taking pictures of our body's, still soaked from the ocean water.

"Harry! Crack me a smile!" He yelled

Harry tensed up and looked forward. The boys put on their sunglasses and tried to hide their faces. Niall pulled my face into his chest and shielded my face from the tabloids.

"Louis....come on Louis! I see that perdy lady your hiding in your chest! Eleanor is it?" The pap shouted as he took yet another picture and Louis started to breathe heavier.

"Liam! Let me see Danielle!!! I wanna see her pretty face!!!" He shouted as he took tons of pictures.

"Hey watch it!" Liam yelled and hugged Danielle tighter.

"Come on Liam! Let me just look at her! Maybe have her dance for me?"

Liam took a step towards the camera man with his fists clenched tight, to tight, nuckles white and breathing fast. Then the camera man did a very stupid move and took another picture of Liam in his angry state. Liam raised his fists and Zayn grabbed Liam's arm and pulled him back to Danielle and whispered something in his ear to calm him down. It seemed to work and Liam turned around and started walking away with Danielle. Louis and El followed. Then Harry and Zayn and then me and Niall as well.

I looked over and Paul was running to us with a drink in his hand. He dropped the drink and approached the man.

Niall turned my head towards his by placing his hand under my chin and making me look at him.

"Here put these on" Niall instructed as he took off his sunglasses and placed them over my eyes. The rest of the boys did the same with their girlfriends and Niall put on his hoodie from inside my bag and hid his face with his hood.

We kept walking until my feet hurt from the burning sidewalk under neath my feet. I slipped on my flip flops and kept walking as the boys avoided any large groups of people or any cameras.

"I knew this was a bad idea" Zayn mumbled and Niall glared at him.

"What Niall?! This was a stupid idea and you know it! Now we're gonna be all over the front page of the paper tomorrow morning and we all know it!" Zayn snapped and glared back at Niall and the two boys stopped walking.
