Our Baby Girl

Ch.7

Camryn's POV

The boys raced through the door of the suite we were staying in and basically tackled each other for the best rooms. I was stuck with whatever room Niall got. After we got all settled in, the guys really wanted to go out to the ocean. We took a taxi to the docks and rented out a big boat. As soon as all of us were on it, the boat driver took off pretty fast. We were all sitting in the front of the boat admiring the beautiful ocean and scenery. It was the most relaxing thing I've ever experienced. 

"Should I stop somewhere so you guys can dive in?" The boat driver asked.

"Yeah, that'd be great!" Louis replied. He pulled over the boat and told us when it was safe to get in. The boys were jumping in one after another, but I stayed behind with Zayn.

"Can you swim?" Zayn asked me. I nodded shyly, too embarrassed to say that I was scared. I didn't want them to think I was a scaredy cat! "Then why aren't you going in?" He asked curiously.

"Come on Camryn!" Niall shouted from the water.

"I don't wanna go in." I told him while shaking my head nervously.

"Why not? It feels great!" Harry said moving his arms under the water to stay above.

"I just don't." I pouted.

"Camryn, what's wrong?" Louis asked.

"You're gonna laugh at me." I said insecurely.

"No we won't, Cam. Just tell us." Liam said softly.

"I'm scared of what's in there. I don't wanna go in." I told them nervously.

"Oh Camryn, these little fishies won't hurt you. I promise." Niall chuckled. Well now he's just being a jerk. No way am I getting in. Nuh uh. 

I rolled my eyes and walked to the other side of the boat wanting to be alone. I leaned against the edge of the boat and looked at the water sparkle in the sunlight. I really wanted to go in, but I was too afraid. Moments later, I heard the boys' voices sounding closer. I bet they were back on the boat. The boat started to rock from the bigger waves, and I heard a crashing noise. I looked around and gasped when I saw Niall's phone barely hanging on one of the steps on the ladder. Hmm, to save jerk face's phone or not? Decisions, decisions. I sighed knowing I should do the right thing, and tried to grab it, but my short arms just couldn't reach it. Alright I guess we're doing this the hard way. I put one of my legs on the step of the ladder and the other one still in the boat. I got a hold of Niall's phone and tossed it in the boat, not caring about being gentle with it. But before I could get myself back in the boat, it rocked again. I lost my balance and the next thing I know, I'm in the water. As soon as I came up from under the freezing cold water, I gasped for air and flailed my arms around. I was so afraid I started screaming for help, then after what felt like forever, I saw Harry. He ran to the edge when he heard my screaming.

"Camryn!" He gasped and leaped into the water. "I gotcha Camryn, I gotcha." Harry said as he grabbed my arm and pulled me close to him. I wrapped my shaky arms around his neck and began to cry uncontrollably, clinging to him for dear life. "It's okay, it's okay. Shh, it's okay." He said trying to calm me down. He swam to the ladder and lifted me up as high as he could as Niall grabbed me from him. He wrapped me in a towel and hugged me tightly to his chest. Louis helped Harry back into the boat while Niall was trying to calm me down. Everyone kept asking me what happened but I couldn't stop crying to explain it.

"Harry, did you see what happened?" Liam asked him.

"No, I heard her scream and ran as fast as I could. I just saw her in the water and dove in after her." Harry explained and caught his breath.

"Thank you, Harry. I don't know what would've happened if you didn't hear her." Niall said visibly upset with himself. I finally caught my breath too, and calmed down. "What happened, Cam? Are you hurt?" Niall asked while wiping the tears off my face. I shook my head and rubbed my eyes. 

"I tried to stop your phone from falling in the water and fell in." I said, and coughed up some water.

"I'm so sorry, Camryn." Niall said while rubbing my back. "I'm just glad you're not hurt."

"Do you want to go back to the hotel?" Louis asked me. I shook my head.

"I'm fine." I said.

"Are you sure?" Louis questioned. I nodded and tried to calm my heart rate down. The adrenaline was definitely still pumping. 

"I'll watch her if you guys want to go back in." Zayn offered.

"Is it alright if we go back in?" Niall asked me. I quickly nodded, assuring them I was fine again. I mean of course I'm gonna say yes. Who wants to be that one person that ruins the fun? I was embarrassed enough as it is. Once the boys were back in the water I sat in Zayn's lap, and rested my head against his shoulder. As time went on it got harder and harder to keep my eyes open, and before I knew it, my exhaustion took over. Sleep: 1, Camryn: 0.
