Times We Share (One Direction)

Tubing, Broken legs, and a trip to Mullingar.

**Nixx POV**

"Isn't that illegal? You know, to take a dog on a plane?!" Maggie whispered to me. "I dunno, but don't ask him, he seemed pretty upset." I replied, walking out into the terminal. WOAH! More paps! Stay calm... "What happened to him?" Maggie asked, yelling over the loud airport sounds and noisy reporters. "Probably something with El- you know what? I have no idea. But let's not ask, I don't want him to get more upset." I yelled back, running to the baggage claim. Claiming our baggage, we ran outside the airport and into the limo, waiting to take us to a PRIVATE beach house. "YES! Privacy!" I cheered in the limo. "I know, right? Liam, you planned well." Niall commented, sinking into his seat. Harry and Louis are sitting in the corner, away from everyone. I pulled out my phone and texted Harry.

To: Hazzah

What's up with Louis? Something to do with Maggis?

From: Hazzah

Yup. El broke up with him for it, and he's broken.

To: Hazzah

Does he even like Maggie?

From: Hazzah

I dunno, a little he said. Ok, he said a little more than a little.. but I think he means A LOT more than a little.

To: Hazzah

Aw! They would look cute together

From: Hazzah

That is if Maggie will ever open up. We only know she's allergic to carrots.

To: Hazzah

I'll see what I can do, but she's closed off for a reason she can still see too clearly to open up.

From: Hazzah

What is it?

To: Hazzah

I'm afraid I can't say. I don't want to hurt Mags

From: Hazzah

Ok..

Once we got unpacked and were all situated in the house, we gathered in the family room to discuss what to do. "Tubing?" Zayn suggested. "YES!" We all agreed, and even Louis looks happy. We all disperesed into our separate rooms to change. I slipped out of my sweats and t-shirt to a floral-print bikini and a cute sundress coverup. Tying my hair into a side pony, I went next door to Maggie's room. She was in there, braiding and unbraiding her hair and staring at the mirror. "What's wrong?" She frowned. "I'm scared!" I laughed. "Why?" "i'm afriad I'm going to tip." She looked around the room, at anywhere but me. Maggie hates having fears, but she can't just stop them from coming. "Do you want Niall to come with you on the tube then?" I asked, trying to help her out. "Umm.... I dunno." "I'll see if one of the guys will go one with you, okay? Now get dressed and come down!!" I ran out of the room, trying to find Harry.

"HARRY!!!!!!' I yelled. "WHAT?!" He emerged from his room, in swim trunks, no shirt. Suddenly, I got this weird feeling in my stomach. No time for hormones!! "I have an idea for Louis and Maggie..." I say cheekily. "How?" He asked. I whispered the plan to him, and he nodded and smiled. "Lou will be happy." He said, running downstairs to tell the rest of the guys the plan, except for Louis. Maggie emerged from her room, in her favorite paisley pink and purple 2-piece, slipping on her coverup. "Looking fine." I commented and pulled her down the stairs. "Let's GOOOO!" Louis shouted, and we ran down to the docks.

"Which one is ours?" Niall asked Liam. "That one." He pointed to a blue speedboat with a tube on its dock. Once we all got on the boat, Liam and Zayn tied the tube on the back of the boat. Liam drove the boat out of the no-wake zone, and asked us who was tubing first. "Mags! Go first!" Niall said. "Ummm... ok..." She said, not wanting to show her fear. She peeled off her coverup and stepped on the tube, adjusting her life jacket. "Who's going with her?" Liam asked, and Harry nudged Louis. "I want Niall or Nixx to come!" Maggie said, eyes pleading. "Sorry, Mags, I'm spotting with Zayn." "And um..." I didn't have an excuse! "We agreed Nixx is going with me." Harry said, and I smiled a thanks at him. He winked back. "So I guess that leaves Lou." Liam said, gesturing to the tube. "Ok!" He said, trying to act casual, but I could see he was grinning.
