Ch 36
Hannah's POV
I turned to Niall and said, "See it wasn't that bad."
He smiled and shook his head. "I could see me and your dad getting on pretty well."
"Good." I smiled and took his hand. We met our group on the lido.
"You guys ready to go?" Niall smiled at everyone.
"Yep! Let's head out." Tom said.
We went down to the ground floor and as we got in line to get off the boat I heard my name.
"Hannah!" Max called.
I rolled my eyes. "What are you doing here?"
"I wanted to come along."
"Does mom know you're---"
"Yeah!"
"Alright. Guys, this is my brother, Max. He's----"
"16." He smiled, I didn't want to embarrass him so I just went with it.
"Wassup, bro." Niall said, and they did a little handshake.
"Nothin. Let's go." Max said and walked in front of the group. He could actually pass for 16. That didn't bother me until I saw Reghan start to get closer and closer to him. I raised an eyebrow at her but she just smiled. Clueless.
We got off the boat and were bombarded with people asking us to take pictures here, there, everywhere. We walked around and passed this huge gate to enter a bunch of shops.
There were signs and people asking us if we wanted to buy something. Each time, we all just ignored them and kept walking.
"This weather is crazy." Niall said, wiping at his forehead.
"I know," Max responded, doing the same.
"Well, what do you guys want to do now?" Reghan asked, still standing next to Max.
"Let's just explore." Alyssa said.
We kept walking around and then we got bored.
"I want to head back now." I said, not wanting to complain too much, but there was nothing to do and it was sooo hot.
"Yeah, I'm burning up." Tyler agreed.
So, we headed back to the boat. The sun was fully up now, it had only been about an hour and a half. By now it was noon.
We boarded the boat and decided to go swimming.
I changed into yet another bathing suit, while Niall walked around in a blue and white snapback and black shorts. I brought my camera down and snapped some pictures.
"I'm thirsty." Niall said to me, we walked over to the bar and ordered two Margaritas. Him and I sat down in the lounge chairs and drank out of our plastic orange cups. We saw Angela all the way across the boat, forever alone.
"Angela!" Niall called. "Come hang with us."
She was already in her bikini. She jumped in the pool but was careful not to get splashed, I had already lost her glasses, she couldn't lose her contacts too.
We drank our drinks and tanned. This was the best cruise I had ever been on, despite all of the damn drama.
"So, what are we doing later tonight?" I said, pushing up my sun glasses.
"I was thinking we could go to karaoke or something." Niall said, sliding down his Ray Banz.
"Sounds good to me." I smiled and layed back.
"Yep, then everyone can hear you sing." He smiled.
"Oh, hell no. I have stage fright."
"You?" he laughed. "There's no way!"
"Trust me."
We relaxed until Valerie came by my side, "Guess who just showed up?"
I slid up my glasses to see. It was Red, Alexis, and Renee. What a surprise.
They jumped in the pool, and I already knew what was coming next. I saw Angela in the corner, wading, they went over to her and started to talk shit.
Niall's POV
Water splashed me and I opened my eyes, I heard Hannah yelling and saw Valerie help Angela out of the pool, who seemed to be crying.
I must have fallen asleep. I sat up and raised my glasses. Valerie and Angela sat beside me. "What happened?" I asked.
"Nothing. They're just...being them." Angela said, she wasn't crying. She was trying to take out her contacts. I saw that she was dripping wet. They must have gotten to her.
"Fuck off!" Hannah finished yelling at them and then walked back over to us. "They don't stop." She said and sat down on my lap.
"Are you alright, Angela?" She asked.
"Yeah. I'm good. I just need to get these contacts out."
We looked back over at the pool and saw Alexis swim over to Chord.
"The fuck do you want?" Chord said.
"Shut up and go get your greencard. Are you even allowed to be on this cruise?" She went for the stairs to get out but Krista pulled her back by her hair. She splashed into the water, and Renee rushed over to her.
Everyone jumped out of the pool and we all left the lido before things could escalate.
All of the girls were laughing and High fiving Krista, even Hannah. "Let's go back to my room!" I offered.
"Alright! Jam sesh time." Tyler smiled.
"You already know." I laughed. We went into my room and had a good ass time.
Hannah's POV
I sat there while the boys sang their songs and went through the pictures on my camera. I couldn't believe this was happening to me. I saw Niall playing his guitar and snapped a picture. Even if this didn't last, I would still have these pictures to remind me that this all did actually happen. I smiled and started to sing along.
