Rescue Me

Chapter 25
Julia's POV

"So who's left in the pool?" I asked.  Niall and Harry rose their hands in defeat,  "You sure about the twenty fourth?" Liam whispered in my ear.  "Positive, I have the perfect plan.  And you might not want to do that, my boyfriend gets really jealous." I laughed when Liam backed up.  We were down by the water so we could talk, about the soon to be couple.  Chase didn't want to come cause 'it's too cold to go swimming' Noelle's tanning, and last time we saw Zayn he was rolling around on the blanket . . . whatever, it made Noelle laugh.  "I think it's time for a dip, don't you Julia!?" Louis exclaimed, picking me up and throwing me into the water.
I came back to the surface and laughed but looked back to the tent, Niall was slowly walking to Noelle.  "N look out!" I screamed and she looked in my direction, seeing Niall first.  She screamed and stood up running as he chased after her.  "No Niall!  Zayn!" I heard her yell as Liam and Harry dove in to sit next to me, Louis stayed on shore for a moment longer than came to sit with us.  "NO NIALL!  Put me down!" she yelled laughing, "Zayn!  Help!!"  We watched Zayn run in front of Niall and take Elle out of his arms, holding her in his own now.  "I'm gonna win Juli." Louis smiled.  I looked back at them and Zayn was walking with Noelle towards the water, their faces close.  "Nope." I smiled, whispering in Louis' ear as Noelle laughed and turned into his shoulder.  "Wait what are you doing?" she finally asked.  "Nothing." He responded, laughing and then, he dropped her into the water.  She squealed as she splashed into the the oceans calm ripples.  "Ugh, Zayn!"  she stood up and shook out her hair, "Come here."  "Nope, what are you doing?"  "Nothing. I just want a hug.  A big hug."  "No, N, back off." he started running back to the tent, she chased after him.
Later that day we were all - basically all - swimming around.  The only people not with us were Zayn and Liam.  I floated over the small waves that were now rushing towards the dry sand, a hand came out of no where though and pushed down on my stomach.  I went under and then looked up to see Noelle walking to shore, towards Zayn and Liam and now Niall.  "Hey, come here." I quietly called Harry, "What's up with them?  Why aren't they swimming?" I asked.  He gave a weak smile, a saddish kinda smile, "We don't like leaving Zayn by himself at times like these."  "Times like what?"  "Like this when we're all swimming and stuff."  "Why doesn't he swim with us?" I asked stupidly, but as soon as I said those words I knew the answer.  "Zayn's afraid of water.  He can't really swim."
