One Direction with a Watery twist

Chapter 1

POV:Hope.

I feel the sun burning on my back, a layer of sweat starting to form on my face and my hands are hurting from picking up bucket after bucket. I work for my dad this summer so I can earn some money for myself so me and my friends can do our own thing without having to relay on our parents. Every bucket is filled with small fish, so my dad and his crew can go out fishing at night. I've already placed about 30 buckets on the boat and they need 50 a day, so only 20 more to go.

Once I'm finally done I go wash my hands and face and say bye to my dad. I wish him luck with fishing and tell him to be careful, with a kiss on the cheek I'm out and on my way home. I grab my bicycle and race to my house.

When I arrive home I park my bike in the front garden, I look up and see one of my best friends Avery about to enter her home, across the street from my house. Me Avery and our other friend Lisa are inseparable, we do everything together and tell each other everything, no secrets here.

I wave at her and walk into my house, my stepmother is in the kitchen cooking something for dinner, I suppose.

I hate that woman.

Even before my mum died she was all over my dad, I think she's using him but every time I bring something up about mum or my stepmother to my dad he gets mad, he's changed so much ever since my mother died... I feel like he's hiding something for me. Or he really just can't cope with it but either way, he's not the same anymore. A month after the funeral he already started dating this woman, her name is Meredith, the moment she stepped a foot in this house she's been trying to control me. After a month and a half she already moved in with us and ever since, I've seen her do weird stuff, like the other day I saw her snooping around in my mother's old office, that door hasn't been opened in months. My mom was the last one in there, it's been almost a year...

I ignore my evil stepmom, or Cruella as me and my friends like to call her, and run up to my room, it became the only place in the house where I have privacy, Cruella thinks my room is Poisoned or something, so there is no way she'll come here. I look around and sigh, I really need to clean it in here, not just clean but also throw alot of old stuff away. Most of it reminds me of my mum, I mean I love the feeling of having her around but it also hurts...

Seeing it's only 3PM I start cleaning everything, throw my dirty clothes in the laundry basket, put my school books far away in the closet, don't need that anyway as it's finally summer. Time to relax, earn a little money and do fun things with my girls.

Once I feel like it's clean enough I look trough all the stuff that's originally my mum's, but I just can't think of my room without it, it just doesn't feel right. I still need her.

Checking the time I figure it's only 3:30PM and seeing I don't have anything else to do I just send the girls a message, asking if they wanna meet up, my background is a picture of my mum and me 5 years ago, I was only 12 then, no care in the world... oh how that has changed.... the pic brings a smile on my face, that was such a great day, I was allowed to sail our old boat for the first time. I loved every single second of it.

Texting my friends in the group chat I say:

"Heyy, u wanna meet up? I'm bored and it's hot outside!! Maybe grab our boat and sail out to the ocean a little bit?!"

Now that I'm waiting for a reply of them I might as well grab something to drink. I leave my phone in the charger and go downstairs, 'just don't look up, ignore her annoying voice' I thought while taking a glass out of the cabinet, filling it with water and going back upstairs.

Walking into my room I see the screen of my phone lighting up meaning I have a text back.

"I would love to go, it's so hot and my little brother is annoying the hell out of me, he keeps asking me to play Fifa with him :/ —Lisa".

"sure what time? —Avery".

I text back "now? You know, wanna avoid Cruella :)) —Me"

both of them reply immediately.

"Sure meet me at my door H :) —Avery"

the benefits of living next to each other.

"I'll meet you both by the boat, okay? —Lisa"

"alright I'll be right out Avv, see ya by the boat LiLi!! X —Me"

Taking my phone out of the charger, pulling on a vest and running downstairs I scream a goodbye to Cruella, slip on my shoes and run out of the door, I see Avv leaving her house too, the timing is perfect as always. I hug her and together we hop in her car, she just turned 18 and has been saving money since as long as I can remember, to buy her own car, the moment she got her licenses she became our personal driver. She doesn't mind though, she's happy she can be this free.

While driving to the boat, witch lays right next to the beach in a little marena with around 15 others we listen to some music on the radio. A new song comes up and Avv starts squealing in joy. That means one thing: One Direction!! She's obsessed, not that she will admit that out loud but we all know it. The song is called 'Midnight Memories' it's from their new album which is called the same, I thought. I don't really pay attention to it if I'm honest, I love some of their songs but I'm more of a fan of old school music like 'The Eagles' and stuff. But I don't mind listening to this, they are good, no denying that. Lisa is also 1D fan so I have no other choice than accept it. It's fine though, the songs that I know are good and I'm sure they are nice guys.

We arrive at the parking lot of the marena and I can see Lisa already busy in the boat, probably putting drinks in the little cooler we have. It's not that big of a boat but we can overnight in it if necessary and have some electricity.

We walk up to her and climb in the boat, we hug her and put our stuff away safely.

"I love that we are now finally able to do these kind of things." Lisa said.

"Right, having 10 weeks free off school, a boat all for our selfs and the 2 best friends a person needs, it can't get much better that this girls." I agreed.

"I totally agree, we are gonna make this summer a blast!!" Avv said.

We brought in the ropes and pushed ourselves off of the ground and floated away slowly, I start the motor and with that our first journey of the summer vacation is officially starting.

A summer with an unexpected twist....
More then one
