Thunderstorms: A Harry Styles Love Story [COMPLETED]

Chapter 3: Beaches and Pranks

~Chapter 3:

~~~Sierra's P.O.V.~~~

What just happened...? Did Harry Styles just hold my hands? Called me beautiful? Someone cleared her throat. Eleanor. She was smiling sweetly....she definitely heard me and Harry's conversation then. 

"Ok, we're going to the beach now. Get changed. Wear the lime green bikini. It matches your eyes. Ohmigod. I'm wearing the blue oneeeeee!!!!! Im soooo exciteddddd....!!!" she winked and skipped to her room. I chuckled softly to myself. She's crazy, but then again, where would I be without her?

I dragged myself to the closet and picked out the bikini. I hadn't worn a bikini in a longggg time. The last time I wore one was with Dylan on one of our dates at the beach....but that was before...well...he  went crazy i guess.....I still cant believe he cheated - OKAY. STOP RIGHT THERE SIERRA. YOU ARE GOING TO AT LEAST TRY TO HAVE A NICE DAY AT THE BEACH WITH YOUR FAVORITE BOYBAND WITHOUT THINKING ABOUT DYLAN. OKAY?

I nodded. At myself. Okay, let's face it i'm going crazy. I rolled my eyes at the mirror as I stripped. I turned away from the mirror as I put on the bikini. I didn't like looking at the scars on my chest. I turned around and sighed with relief. The green strapless bikini covered the hideous scar perfectly. I smiled weakly and pulled on the sundress that Eleanor gave me for my birthday. It was light green with tiny pink and blue flowers. I grabbed my bag, took a deep breath, and went downstairs. 

As soon as I entered the room, everyone gaped at me. Even my parents were there. Zayn let out a wolf whistle and I blushed, looking down at the ground. 

"I told you the sundress was worth it." Eleanor smiled at me. She was wearing a sundress as well, it was yellow with a complicated floral design printed on it. 

I shrugged. "Is everyone ready to go?"

"Yea, except for Hazza. He said he's coming down in five min-" Zayn was interrupted by footsteps. 

"Okay, let's go to the BEACHHHH!!!!!" Harry shouted way too enthusiastically. 

"WAIT. Before you crazy teens go wreak havoc on the beach, we have an announcement." Mom stated. She turned to face Eleanor and I. "Your dad and I won a trip for two to Egypt, and we are leaving today, right now actually. You guys are probably used to this, but I just wanted to give you a heads up."

She was right; they often went on random trips, whether they were for business or just because they were bored and needed a change of scenery. Sierra and Eleanor hugged them goodbye and headed to Louis' car. Beach time!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The warm sand beneath my feet made me feel really happy, for once in a longg time. Eleanor layed out a mat and we all helped to bring out the chairs. I sat on the mat and gulped down half a bottle of orange juice. Ugh, it was so hot out here. The sunlight shined on my face, and I could barely see anything. Oh great; i forgot to bring my sunglasses. Someone tapped me on the shoulder. Curls. 

"You need this?" He smirked as he held out a pair of ray bans.

"Don't you need a pair...?" I asked.

"Nope, I have another one." he explained as he pulled out another identical pair.

"...you brought an extra pair of sunglasses...??" I questioned, raising an eyebrow.

"Mhmm. I always do." 

Man, this boy was even weirder than I thought.

"STRIPPP...!!!" Eleanor screamed. All the boys took off their shirt. They all had abs. Every single one of them. Well, what did I expect? They were One Direction after all. Eleanor slipped the sundress off and pretty soon i was the only one without swimwear on. I gulped. 

"Sierra...you okay?" a voice beckoned. For some reason I thought it was Eleanor, but when I turned around I came face to face with Harry. Those eyes. Ugh. Not again. I looked away quickly, and nodded. I noticed we were the only ones not in the water. Everyone else was splashing at each other in the waves. I could feel Harry's stare as I slowly slipped out of the sundress. I heard him gasp. 

"What?" I questioned.

"Err..nothing....your back...it-"

My cheeks immediately flushed red. I forgot about the cut down my back. Harry saw it. 

~~~Harry's P.O.V.~~~

I gasped at the huge cut going down the middle of her back. 

"What?" she asked me.

"Err..nothing....your back...it-" I stuttered out. 

Her whole body tensed up and I could almost see her shiver, even though it was really warm. I beat myself up inside. I shouldn't have said that. Now she's gonna put her dress back on and sit on the sand all day. Sure enough, she reached into her bag an picked up her dress. I placed my arm on her shoulder. She tensed up even more, if that was even possible. I could feel the goosebumps on her skin. Neither of us was breathing. I reached my hand up to her hair that was in a messy bun, and pulled the hairtie out. Her long hair flowed down her back, covering the scar up. She turned around to face me. She looked me in the eye, and muttered, "Thanks." SHE LOOKED ME IN THE EYE. "No problem, babe." I said and winked. What?! I couldn't help it. I am the flirt after all. She chuckled softly and I grabbed her arm, pulling her towards the water. 

"There you are, what took you so long?!" Louis managed to ask us with Zayn tackling him and Eleanor on his back. I shook my head and chuckled. An idea hit me. I placed my hands on Sierra's shoulders and pushed her into the water. Everyone almost bent over laughing. She gasped over-dramatically.

"YOU ARE GOING DOWN, CURLY." she screamed at me.

"OH BRING IT ON...!!" I yelled back.

She got up and charged at me. I stood my ground, but she was so much stronger than I thought she'd be. She tackled me into the water and started tickling me. I was really really ticklish, and I held my hands up, surrendering.

"Stopp - I'm sorry, okay? j-just STOPPP - " I choked out through laughter.

She smirked in victory and got off of me. She walked toward the others like nothing had happened. That was one interesting girl.
