Under the Water (One Direction/ Mermaid) ON HOLD

Ch. 13: Reveals Reveals Reveals

*LOUIS' POV*

"Shut up Ash!" Luke said, pushing Ashton playfully.

"Okay, well that explains them. What about your story Tommo?" Niall asked.

"Yeah, I need to know this." Zoe said, crossing her arms.

"Well, it was the day we were playing at Wembley for Where We Are. Niall and the lads had gone to eat, and I was watching 5SOS soundcheck. They had taken a break and we were all talking when it started raining." I told Zoe and Niall.

*FLASHBACK*

"Louis, how are we sounding?" Calum asked from the edge of the stage.

"It sounds great! You lads are gonna do amazing on your tour next year." I told them. Then, I felt little drops on my face and my eyes widened. I looked up to see that Luke and Ashton weren't on stage anymore, neither was Michael, but I didn't question it. I ran underneath the stage where nobody was and heard Calum yell:

"Louis where are you going?!" I heard footsteps behind me, and I turned to see Calum behind me when I fell, my blue tail replacing my legs. I looked up to him, his eyes wide.

"Calum, I can explain." I told him.

"Do you need towels? I can go get some." He said. I shook my head no and put my hand over my tail, clenching my fist. My tail dried and my legs reformed. Calum held his hand out to help me up and we both walked to my dressing room.

*ASHTON'S POV (STILL FLASHBACK)* (back to when they left the stage)

I felt rain drops on my skin and looked to Luke. He was looking back at me, his eyes wide, same with mine. We both bolted off the stage and ran backstage. Michael was following us, making sure we got to safety.

"In here!" Michael yelled from behind us, pushing me in a small closet. He pushed Luke in after me and we both fell to the ground, Luke on top of me. He shut the door and leaned against the outside of it, making sure nobody tried to come in.

"I've thought it once and I'm saying it now, why do these tails have to be so damn heavy?!" I groaned. "Get off of me Luke." I told him.

"Ash, there is literally no where for me to go. This closet is so small." Luke said and I groaned.

"Okay, let's just both use our powers to dry off, maybe we'll make enough heat together to dry both of us." I told him and he nodded. We both put our hands out and after a few minutes we were dry.we both stood up and pushed on the door, letting Mike know that we were dry. He opened the door and let us out. Calum and Louis were walking towards us.

"Let's go." Calum said, walking towards the dressing room. We all followed.

When we got there, he closed the door and locked it. Luke and I sat on the couch.

"Mikey, can I talk to you for a second?" Calum asked, and I saw Louis look to him with pleading eyes. What is going on? Michael nodded and they both went to a corner. Okay, the tension in here is thick. I looked to Luke.

"You could cut the tension with a knife in here." He said.

"Did you just- wow Luke. You would." I said.

"What? I didn't- oh! I get it." He said, and I laughed.

"So Louis, you excited about tour being over soon?" Luke asked.

"I mean, we still have about 14 shows left, but yeah. I'm ready to see Zoe and my other sisters and mum again." He said. Luke and I both agreed about seeing our families. We kept talking and joking around until we all got soaked. I turned and Michael and Calum were standing there with empty buckets.
