It All Started With Lou

Just Keep Swimming

Lou decides that it's time to go swimming, and swimming sounds really fun right now. I put my trunks and sunscreen on, and I check on Skyler before I go outside. I see that she's awake and on Twitter. I don't want her on there anymore. It will just make her feel worse. I pop into her room, snatch her phone, and run. She chases after me, screaming profanities and my name at me. It's so hot. She's so hot. I run outside, see Harry, and give him her phone. He then gives it to Louis and now it's a game of find the phone.

Skyler is a pretty fast runner, yet she's not even outside yet. I start to go back inside to see if she's okay and she comes strolling out in her bathing suit, large sunglasses, and a towel.

"If you guys aren't going to let me be on my phone, I'm going to go swimming." She says angrily. Did I just piss her off? I walk behind her and grab her by the waist.

"I'm sorry that I pissed you off, honey. I'm trying to protect you from the haters on twitter."

"I know" she says with a smile and the next thing I know, I'm in frigid water.

*Skyler's POV*

Niall grabs me by my waist and hugs me from behind. I'm just messing with him. I was just going to send out the sweetest anonymous tweet. It would, of course, be about Niall but my phone was taken away from me. Instead, I chose to change into my bathing suit and get ready to go swimming.

While Niall is hugging me by my waist, I see Harry and Louis looking at me with really cheeky smiles. They are signaling to me that they are only targeting Niall. I signal back to them that they can do what they want. They come closer to Niall and I, and I wriggle out of Niall's grip. Harry and Louis grab him and throw him in the pool. It was a sight to see and it was really funny!! I run up to Harry and Louis and give them each high fives. Niall finally surfaces from the water and he's laughing his signature laugh. It's way too cute. He finds me standing on the deck and I egg him on by sticking my tongue out at him. He comes out of the water and starts walking towards me. I scream and run. I'm running all around the yard because all of the guys are after me. I run in between Liam and Zayn because Liam doesn't look like he's going to catch me, but he does. I scream, pound against his back, and kick my legs in protest. I'm basically flailing and screaming bloody murder. Liam starts walking towards the deck and hands me off to Niall. Niall is holding me like a fireman holds someone that they saved. There's only one way I can win this one. I stop flailing and accept my fate. I'm going in that pool, but not alone. I attach myself to Niall and when he goes to throw me, both of us go in together. We both come up laughing. I'm having a blast. Then, out of nowhere, I get an idea. I whisper this to Niall and he agrees that we should do it, but we need the rest of the guys except Zayn.

"Harry! Come here! No I'm not going to pull you in! Pleeeaaseee Harry? Okay, so here's the plan...Tell Louis and Liam okay?"

Harry tells Liam and Louis while I get out of the pool to distract Zayn for a bit.

"Hey Zayn!"

"Hi Sky!"

"Random question, do you have your phone on you? Like in your pocket?"

"No. Why?"

"You know. Just asking. You don't want someone to splash you and your phone be ruined."

"True, true."

"Can you at least come on the deck to watch us swim?"

"Um, sure?"

"Yay!" I scream and grab Zayn's hand. I drag him up to the deck and do a cannonball into the pool. When I come up, Harry, Niall, Liam, and Louis have Zayn in their arms. Zayn is flipping out and I can't help but laugh. Zayn on the other hand is ready to give all the guys black eyes.

"Zayn! It was my idea. Don't be mad at them. Be mad at me. But at least come in the water! I'll catch you!"

"Like hell you will!" He screams at me.

"I will! And we all will teach you how to swim! Right guys?"

"Yes we will!" They all scream.

"See? We'll teach you how to swim and I'll catch you when they throw you in! Please?"

"Fine!" He screams and the boys throw him in. I don't exactly catch him, but I lift him out of the water so he doesn't drown. Once he comes up from the water, he smiles mostly because he can stand in the pool instead of not being able to reach the bottom.

The rest of the guys jump in and we start teaching Zayn how to swim. Once Zayn learns how to swim, we play some classic pool games. We all just have a blast.
