I felt the warm breeze of the sun on my face while I opened my eyes laying on Jeremiah's chest to see him sleeping which is surprising because it's always the other way around.

I needed the toilet so I got up and headed over to the bathroom. I checked my wound in the mirror and took the bandage off. sometimes I wonder how people just wake up pretty?

Anyway I walk back to the bedroom to see Jeremiah's eyebrows furrow "no!" He said I assume in his nightmare so I walked over and shook his shoulder to wake him.

"Maeve" he said sounding panicked which made me wonder what he was dreaming about. "You ok? I think you were having a nightmare" I said while wondering to the balcony while Jeremiah rubbed his eyes.

"Want to talk about it?" I said leaning against the doorframe. "No" he said coldly and walked into the closet leaving me confused on how he acted. I followed him in their while he went through looking for a suit "What's wrong Jeremiah?" I said standing now right in front of him hoping he'd turn to face me but he ignored me and carried on picking his outfit.

"Did I do something to you?" I said sounding a little pissed of because at this point I was. "Maeve go back to your room and change" he said emotionless which angered me more. "Jeremiah look at me! Why are you acting like this?" I said annoyed but I regretted it when he turned and walked directly in front of me.

"I said get out!" Jeremiah shouted into my face which I turned and walked away hoping I wouldn't show any emotion. I walked into my room screaming at myself not to react because I sound stupid otherwise so I just went into my closet and picked my outfit for breakfast however this time I didn't really want to sit with everyone so I just decided to eat it on my balcony.

I picked my outfit which was a short flowery summer dress with a strand of my hair tried around the back while the rest was wavy.

After finishing getting dressed I headed down stairs to grab a bowl of cereal hoping the lady who cooked wouldn't be in there, and thankfully she wasn't so I did as I planned poured myself cereal and headed upstairs.

I sat on the balcony for a while just wondering why Jeremiah reacted like that until my thoughts were interrupted by the sound of a chair being placed next to mine, I turned to see Hailey in yet again a pretty outfit which made me smile.

"Hey" I said calmly looking back at the view. "Hey, why didn't you go down for breakfast?" Hailey said placing herself next to me.

"I just wanted to think" I said still looking at the view ahead. "Maeve I've known you long enough to know when your lying. So I'm going to take a guess and say this has something to do with Jeremiah?" She said making me turn to her.

I don't like to lie to her especially because she's my best friend so I just told her what happened last night leading into this morning. "Jeremiah just can't do what's right" she said facing the view. "What do you mean" I said looking at her.

"He runs away from what's good because who he's close to normally end up dead." She said bluntly. "You know I don't think it's that this time, i don't know what it is though" I said squinting as the sun showed from behind the cloud.

"Anyway everyone is going to the beach today and I mean everyone from the mafia" Hailey said making me confused. "What" I said. "Well I've been wanting a beach day forever as we never have one and Jeremiah said yes like last week." Hailey replied. "So this is what the mafia get up to, i imagined guns and violence but tans and sun bathing, intriguing" i said making us both giggle.

"Every year we get a massive holiday that's funded by Jeremiah and everyone goes it's Jeremiah's way of thanking everyone" Hailey said looking to the view. "That sounds nice" I said doing the same. "The next one is next Friday so we need to start shopping and packing" Hailey said.

"I don't assume I'm going" i said. "You must be stupid to think that, I said everyone was going which means we can't leave you behind." Hailey said making me giggle.

"I don't know, anyway shall we get ready for the beach?" I said picking up my cereal bowl and placing it on the side so I remember to take it down. "Yes let's start with you" Hailey said walking into my closet.

We rummaged for a while before Hailey pulled an outfit out.

Maeve's swim suit:



"Really?" I said walking over and feeling it. "Yes it's cute, sexy and goes really well with your blonde hair" Hailey replied passing it too me. "You know what ok" I said as I grabbed a pair of shorts to put over the top. "Yayyyy" Hailey said as she walked out so I could change.

I walked into Hailey and Grayson's room and headed for her closet where I found her looking for a swim suit as well. "Found one!" Hailey said showing me it.

Haileys swim suit:



"That's looks great Hailey" I said spinning to show her my outfit which was the neon pink bikini top and the blue denim shorts. "So do you!" Hailey replied at me.

After 10 minutes Hailey and me were both ready to go down stairs as we knew by now everyone would be waiting for us. We walked down the stair case and into the living room were we found most of the men that lived in this house sat on the sofas watching rugby in their unbuttoned Hawaiian shirts with swimming bottoms and sun glasses which if I could add, all and I mean all of them looked hot.

"Finally" one of the guys who kidnapped me that night in the alley way said. "It takes time to look this hot" Hailey said dramatically as she dragged me to sit down I was sat next to her and the guy who said finally' so I actually wanted to know his name.

"What's your name?" I said to the guy with light brown hair and blue eyes. "Louis, you?" He said looking down to my eyes. "Wait I already know you, I saved you" he said which made me laugh confused. "Saved? You kidnapped me" I said to him in a sarcastic way.

"Nahh I prefer saved it gives me a better image" he said looking to his hands that were making a square shape. We both started laughing which made us get death stares from the other boys because they were watching rugby. "Oops" I said giggling. This guy was really funny and it might sound weird but I hope we get to be friends.

"Wanna catch a snack from the kitchen before we leave?" Louis said. "Sure" I said as we both stood up and made our way to the kitchen. "Shall I make some pancakes as Hailey said it'll be another 30mins before we leave" I said to Louis who was placing himself on the stool in front of the island of the kitchen.

"Sure I love pancakes" Louis said making me giggle. While I was making pancakes I wondered where Jeremiah had gone off too, i mean I hope he comes to the beach with us all and I really want to know what's going on with him.

"Pancakes are ready!" I shouted to the living room. Everyone sort of found out I was making them so I ended up making one for everyone. It sounded like a herd of elephants as everyone came running through to the kitchen.

"Thanks" everyone said as they sat down, I placed myself next to Louis and we chatted the whole time just getting to know each other, he is honestly really funny and nice so I will be counting him as one of my friends now!

20 minutes later

We were all sat in the living room and me and Hailey had convinced the boys to watch Teen Wolf and so far it seems like they like it. "What is this crap?" Grayson said while cradling Hailey while me and Louis were scrunched up together, don't ask why. "I'm offended" Louis said making me chuckle while Grayson rolled his eyes.

Louis, Grayson and the others started play fighting with each other and Hailey and me sat there laughing our heads off. Louis came up throwing me over his shoulder and started tickling me, we were play fighting for a while until Jeremiah came into the room.

He was stood like the other boys in a Hawaiian shirt opened with showed off his defined muscles which made me blush even though I was over Louis's shoulder and going redder by the second from being upside down.

"What's going on?" He said to me and Louis as Grayson sat down next to Hailey finishing off his laughs. "We're play fighting" I replied while Louis put me upright again. Just as Jeremiah looked like he was going to go off on a tantrum I cut him off "let's go shall we" I said as I was still kind of pissed from earlier on.

Hailey giggled as I linked arms with her while she grabbed her bag and we walked out the door into one of the black cars in the driveway.

After a long sweaty ride sat next to Hailey and Louis we finally arrived at the beach just in time as I was overheating in the car.

"Finally" I said stretching as my muscles were sore. "Yayyyy" Hailey said grabbing my arm and pulling me towards the beach with her.

After the boys had all brought down the chairs, games etc (Yeah I didn't help) Hailey and me decided to go swimming as we were boiling.

"Louis are you coming?" I said to Louis who was sat on the deck chair showing his defined muscles. Let's make it clear Louis is staring to become one of my besties however I don't like him like that only as friends.

"Nah I'll be in, in a bit, okay?" Louis said while relaxing in the chair. "Sure" I said as I pulled off the denim shorts I had revealing the rest of my bikini. As I did so I could feel Jeremiah's eyes giving me death stares as I knew some of the men were watching me. However I just decided to ignore it as I walked further away from the group with Hailey.

"It's not even cold" I said to Hailey as we both walked into the sea. "It's never really cold in summer" Hailey replied. We got further out until we were at the point that we couldn't touch the ground and we just swam around for a bit. We mainly talked about hot boys in movies, i know weird but okay.

We were swimming when I turned around and Hailey started squirming in the water "what's wrong" I said worried. "Something just stung my leg and i can't move it" Hailey replied, panicked for her safety I swam over trying to hold her upright however both of our weight was making it much harder for me to swim.

Hailey started shouting to the boys who were sat were they originally were but looked like Louis was walking towards the sea. I struggled for a bit longer, my head going under the water frequently while Hailey screamed Louis's name.

"I think he saw us" I said relived as Hailey was waving her hands in the air, Louis started running towards the sea while the group of boys were still oblivious to what was going on.

Louis swam over to us and we were pretty far out by now as the tide was mainly taking us. "What the hell happened!?" Louis shouted. "Hailey got stung, take her back to the boys"I said noticing the cut on my leg from were I must have grazed it on some rocks.

"Okay stay here and one of us will come back out to get you" Louis said to me, taking Hailey off my arms. At this point my arms and legs were really tired. "Okay" I said. "Keep waving so we know we're you are."

I nodded and like that Louis swam back with Hailey as I watched him pick her up bridal style out of the sea and run towards the boys as Grayson ran over to him to see what was going on.

Everyone seemed panicked, even Jeremiah to my surprise. I could see Louis turning to point to me so I started waving as Jeremiah ran into the sea full Baywatch style.

Suddenly I got pulled into a current that was stronger than me making it hard to keep my head out the water, I saw as I seemed to be getting further from Jeremiah as he tried to swim closer.

I was getting dragged round, when my head smashed into some rocks, making me go unconscious however I still felt awake.

I could feel as I was sinking but I couldn't do anything about it. Then arms wrapped round my waist pulling me out of the water where I fell properly unconscious.

Jeremiah's POV:

I saw her hand go under the water and instantly I sped up trying to get to her faster.

When I reached her she was sinking under the water unconscious which made me panicked. I swam done grabbing her by the waist hoping when I pulled her up she would open her eyes but she didn't.

I quickly swam ashore where Louis came running over while Grayson put ice on Haileys wound.

I looked down to see my hands were they were once holding her head, covered in blood. I laid her on the sand checking if she was breathing. "What happened?" Louis said worried, "not now Louis" I said quickly moving to her mouth and blowing inside where after a minute she gasped up for air which made me relive the breath i didn't know I was holding.

The paleness slowly faded to show her skin, while she watched me while I was in shock.
