Love Above the Clouds

Chapter 17

“Harry, I can't go anywhere.” I said gesturing to the small boat we are in, “Even if I wanted to go anywhere it would mean jumping into the water and swimming away!” I said laughing solemnly. Harry smiled toward me squeezing my hand.

“EVERYONE HOLD ON,” Liam yelled while grabbing the side of the life boat everyone listened and grabbed the nearest rope attached to the boat. I pulled Harry closer to me and held onto him and the side of the boat for my life. We flew up into the air and I could feel myself loosing contact with the bottom of our life vessel and my stomach was in my mouth. They weren't kidding about your life flashing before your eyes when you are faced with death. I screamed as we made our way back down to flat upon the water. My heart was beating fast and I looked round to everyone else sitting in shock. I swear that was the scariest moment of my life. Niall was almost in tears and louis was curled up in a ball. I looked over to Liam who was sitting there holding his heart. I looked out onto the vast blue ocean to see land up ahead.

“GUYS! LAND!” I yelled pointing in the direction of the land. It was quite far away but would still be safer than staying out here on the ocean till some people found us dead. They all looked up in hope and saw the land. Louis looked excited same with Zayn and Niall. I looked down to Harry who was looking happy too, I pulled some of his hair out of his eyes and put myself in a more comfortable position and putting Harry's head in my lap.

“So what are we doing just standing here?” Liam said acting rather happy.

“We are actually sitting.” Louis said pointing his finger upwards. Obviously trying to make a joke. I looked at him and giggled.

“Whatever Louis, Lets just get paddling, I can see the storm still.” Niall said looking back towards the sunken plane and storm.

“OMG HARRY!!!!” Louis yelled jumping from one side of the boat to the other causing it to rock un controllably. “I THOUGHT WE HAD LOST YOU!” He landing on his friend, therefore landing on me and hugged him. Harry laughed and smiled. “Ok Back to work,” Louis said while getting off his best friend. That the first time I have seen Louis this serious. Everyone turned back to paddling towards our new destination. Harry tried to sit up but fell back down. I told him to be careful. But he didn't listen. I felt like a dead weight. I wasn't doing anything to help move the boat along. So I half turned around and did some light paddling with Harry's head still resting in my lap.

After a couple of hours we were miles away from the cyclone, it had gone in the complete opposite direction. I was totally tuned out to what was happening around me. I gave up on paddling about a kilometre ago. I was just playing with Harry's hair. Fiddling around with it in my hands. He had really nice hair. His eyes were closed, he needed to rest now anyway. His facial features not in movement at all. He was truly perfect. Not like my mum said. She said that he would've just chucked makeup on every day. He was in the worst state possible and he still looked amazing.

“Elena, We are gonna stop here for a rest. Mind staying up on look-out?” Liam turned around and looked at me. Snapping me out of my trance.

“Sure!” I said smiling at Liam. Liam came over and kissed me on the cheek with a reassuring smile. He looked down to harry then back at me. I smiled at him and kissed his cheek. Liam then came to my right side next to Harry and placed his head on my shoulder.. Louis came over and cuddled up to Harry.Then Zayn and Niall also came up and rested their heads on Harry. I sat there watching them all fall asleep smiling at how cute the picture was.

“Good Night Elena,” Louis said smiling to me.

“Good Night Louis,” I said forcing a smile which I thought looked totally fake, but it seemed to work for Louis.

“Night Everyone,” Niall said before falling asleep. From that, there was a series of goodnights and the lads drifted off into their first sleep in more than a day.

BEKA'S P.O.V

Shit. “Harry are you alright?” I asked into the phone. I heard no answer but there was a lot of muffling into the phone. Maybe he fell over? “Harry? Harry!?” I asked again. Still no reply but I heard breathing which was good? Maybe? I started to get scared. What if he was knocked out and no one was there to help! “HARRY! Are you Ok? Please say you are. At least make a noise.” I heard a groan through the phone and an overwhelming sense of sadness came over me. At least he was ok? I heard a loud thump which must've been the phone falling to the ground. “HARRY!!” that was Niall. I let out a sigh of relief. At least someone was there to help. I was still in tears though. What could've happened on the boat to cause that. I disconnected the phone without a second thought and threw it on my hotel bed. I sat down with my head in my hands. Crying.

“Beka! What's wrong hun? You didn't look at twitter did you?” I heard Cassie say as she ran up and took the spear room on my bed. I shook my head. This was far worse than looking at what hormonal teenage girls were saying about Elena and I, Harry was in trouble. All of the boys were in trouble! Elena was in trouble, my best friend of almost 9 years. I may never see her again. This caused more tears to stream like a river down my face. I felt like a black whole was swallowing me up. I just wanted to disappear under a rock and never come out. I felt a hand rubbing my back, up and down. It was soothing but it wasn't really making my mind any clearer. I couldn't believe what was happening. When I thought I was able to speak I said.

“The boys and Elena are in Trouble. I was just on the phone with Harry, He fell to the ground and didn't speak. I hung up before I heard anything else! Cassie, the boys are really in trouble. What do we do?” I asked looking up towards Cassie. She broke eye contact as if to say that she didn't know. There wasn't one thing I thought we could do.

“Babe, they'll be ok! Knowing my Zayn, They would've made a plan and will be fine.” Cassie said reassuringly patting my back again. She pulled a tissue out from a the box on my bedside table and handed it to me. “So if you ask me! We should go out and get our mind off things.” She said with a smile. I looked up to the smiley Cassie and was instantly happy again. She was rather good at that. I was still worried but, she was right! I needed to get my mind off things.

I looked off into the distance trying to think of stuff we could do in Paris, so I mentally went through the list that me and lana made of stuff we were to do once we arrived. Oh God! I totally forgot. We were meant to be meeting Elena's cousins in france.

“Shit!” I scrambled round the hotel room to look for my handbag.

“Beka!! What's wrong?” Cassie yelled as if I was going crazy. I laughed and turned to face Zayn's girlfriend.

“Oh, well Lana and I were meant to meet up with her cousins today, I really don't want them to worry!” I said finding my phone and pulling it out to dial in her cousins phone number which I took the time to memorize.

Ring Ring, Ring Ring, Ring Ring Ri-

“Bonjour?”

“It's Beka! Who am I speaking to?” I say over the phone.
