Tails

Tails found/ heads bowed

Avery POV

I quickly dress and come back downstairs. Okay.

"Food, anyone?" I grumble.

"Fooood!" Niall screams. I giggle.

" Harry can make it!" Liam volunteers.

" um sure, yeah, ok." He replies.

" I'm going to go shower," I say. Actually a bath sounds pretty nice.

I run up stairs and draw the water. Next I strip and takeout my rubber band. I sink into the steaming water and within ten seconds, my tail appears. Their are all different types of tops for mermaids. Because of my small breasts I wear a seashell top. Anna has a scaly bra, and rylee has a seaweed wrap around. I hum a melody to myself. I am falling for freakin Liam Payne. He is amazing.

Someone knocks on my bathroom door. CRAP!

" Yeah?" I ask.

" Can I come in?" I here Liam's voice question. Before I can say no, he walks in.

" I wanted to ask- HOLY SHIT!" He yells.

" Surprise..." I say sheepishly. Suddenly everyone burst through my bathroom door.

" oh.my.god." They all say at the same time, except for the girls.

" You're a me- mer-mermaid." Liam says.

" And, a beautiful one at that," Harry whispers. I blush.

Rylee POV

"And, a beautiful one at that," Harry whispers. Avery blushes.

"We're one too!" I blurt, motioning to Anna and I. Avery nods. The boys take it surprisingly well. We show them our tails and explain how it happened.

" When I was 7 I lived in California. We lived by the beach and I always like to explore, one day I found something. It looked to be a cave but when I leaned into get better look I fell." I explain. "I found a beautiful pool of water. And without thinking, jumped in. The water bubbled around me and the next day when I was taking a bath I was a mermaid. Yes, I had a tail." That's how I turned.

Anna's POV

I then told them how I turned.

"On my 5th birthday, my mother and I, decided to go swimming. A wave pulled me under the surf. My mother searched and searched for me. Finally she found me. But, something was off. I asked, she told: my father was a merman. And on your 5th birthday is the coronation of turning." I state simply.

Avery's POV

" I was born a mermaid, no one knows how, or why for that matter. When I had my first bath a tiny little tail appeared. My parents could only deal with that pressure until I was 9. I went to school, like any normal day. Took the bus home, and found an empty house. My former parents left a note. TO TELL THERE 9 YEAR OLD THEY ABANDONED HER!" A tears slides down my cheek. Liam wipes it away. But I brush his hand off. He looks down, clearly hurt.

" My father was abusive, and that's why I'm hesitant to trust people, let them in." Damn this stuff was a touchy subject.

Liam's POV

After our truth session, I stand up and clap my hands.

" Let's do something!" I say, avoiding Averys eyes.

"Let's eat!" Niall groans, rubbing his stomach. We dig into our breakfast, cold, but still delicious.
