Corie's POV

Breakfast went by better than I ever imagined. Dylan was amazing. We had so much in common. Got me thinking if we could really be sisters.

"What now?" I asked.

"Hmm, There's a lot to do according to, Haz. But what about...shopping? I'm not keen but I'm sure they have nice fashion lines here."

"Lead the way."

"Aww, that's cute. I can't wait until my one year anniversary."

"How long have you been together?"

"6 months. It was kinda cliche. I tripped into him and he made a really lame joke. He asked me out on the spot. Been together since."

"Aww. That's sw- " I was cut off by both our phones going off. We laughed before checking them.

Zee: Later than planned. I'm sorry. Love you. xo

I replied before pocketing my phone. Dylan was typing furiously. I stifled a giggled as she also pocketed her phone.

"I need to cool off. Beach?" I just followed her. It sounded fun anyway.

The beach was fairly empty besides a few college kids and small family further down. I laid my towel down and sat. Dylan on the other hand dropped her stuff beside me and pulled off her over clothes.

"I'll be back." She ran to the water. I pulled out my notebook and started sketching.

Half An Hour Later

I shut my notebook as Dylan sat down.

"Feel better?"

"Yeah, Just to be clear I don't have any issues. I just haven't spent time with my own boyfriend in so long and it's taking a toll."

"I know what you mean. And it's hard. But there's nothing you can do by getting upset."  She just shrugged.

"You would be an awesome sister." My cheeks burned. " You can totally say no...but Haz said he'd get a DNA test if we wanted to find out. It's up to you."

"Really? I would love to." I blushed harder at how excited I was.

"You're getting along?" We both looked back to see 4 confused boys. I jumped up hugging Zayn.

"I thought you guys were busy?" I heard Dylan ask. I pulled back looking at Zayn.

"Busy? Pssh, these loons caused us to stay later because they were busy day dreaming. Luckily it was only 30 minutes longer." Louis seemed upset but not completely.

"If you look online you'll see what he means." Niall added. Harry and Zayn pushed both of them.

"Don't listen to them." Zayn told me. "Anyway, the beach?"

"Dylan's idea."

"Guilty." We both laughed. "We should do this more often. It's been fun."

"Of course. We can always finish the day out, right here. It's already 4." The boys automatically declined.

"Why not?"

"I can't swim."

"That would have worked a year ago." I learned after we met.

"I don't have swim wear."

"Zee, please. Just..." I lifted his shirt. "Take off your outer clothes. I really wanna swim with you." I spoke softly running my hand against his abs. Well defined I might add.

"Damn it. Fine." He cursed. I smiled victoriously as he undressed. I looked over to see Dylan doing the same with Harry. Zayn pulled me towards the water. Pretty eager for someone who didn't just wanna get in.

"Zee, you don't wanna wait for them?" I resisted his pull.

"Babe," He stepped close. I hated what was coming. He leaned down capturing my lips. And I always fell for it. I slowly kissed back wrapping my arms around him. Of course it was the wrong move. He lifted me by my thighs but he didn't release the kiss. I realised why when water enveloped me. I quickly swam to the surface wiping the water from my face. I looked around for him. He was gonna get it when I f- I screamed when arms wrapped around me. Of course it was the devil himself.

"Let go." I pushed him away...well tried.

"Don't you wanna swim with me?" I could hear the smirk In his voice.

"No. You're mean."

"Me? You just seduced the fuck outta me. It's only fair I got you back." I nearly melted against him. Something...everything about his aggressive side was hot.

"Stop. You always do that." I pouted.

"Do what?" I huffed. "Alright, I'll stop. For now."

"Hey, guys." Dylan called. "Wanna play chicken?"

Back At The Hotel

"What the hell took you guys so long?" Louis. I furrowed my brow. Weren't they just at the beach?

"We don't have a curfew Louis." Zayn spoke up.

"Okay. Fine. I hope management knows about your girlfriends. If they didn't they sure do now. Which is why we all were suppose to be in. Reckless children." He mumbled and went in his room closing the door.

"They don't know about us?" Dylan and I asked at the same time. Both guys looked away.

"Zee? Why would you invite me here if I couldn't be seen with you?"

"Yeah, I wanna know, too, Harry."

"I was going to. It just...never came up." Harry answered.

"It's not a big deal. They know now." Zayn tried.

"You didn't want them to know, did you? For over a year we've been together and we've kept it secret from the entire world." Tears brimmed my eyes but I brushed them away quickly. "And I see why. What would Zayn freaking Malik want a girl like me for?"

"Babe, y-"

"Save it. I'm done. I can't." My voice cracked before I turned and left.

Dylan's POV

"I can't." Was all she said before running off.

"Way to go. If you wanted to hurt us you have very much succeeded." I turned to Harry. "I'll be back for my things then I'm gone." I followed Corie before he could reply.

******

4am

"Corie?" She looked back at me. Her eyes puffy and red from what I could tell.
I wrapped my arm around her hugging her. "You'll be okay. We'll both be."

"How could they do that to us? Keeping it from his fans is one thing. But management? He couldn't even tell them. I doubt he told his family either."

"Don't worry about that. We need to rest up so we can go okay."

"I don't wanna see him." I felt bad for her.

"We'll see if Liam lets us stay in his room." I spoke as we headed back to the hotel.

I barely knocked before a tired looking Liam opened the door. He looked a bit confused but I honestly think that's just his face.

"Yeah?"

"Can we stay here? Just for a few hours."

"Um, yeah...where's Harry and Zayn?" Oh god. Corie broke down crying again.

"It's a long story." I walked in trying to soothe her all over again. "I'm sorry if we're intruding." He shook his head.

"What happened with...the guys?"

"We all broke up. Only you guys knew about our relationships. But other people needed to know and they didn't. She feels like they were keeping us secret. Kinda makes sense now that I look back."

"Oh, so you're leaving?"

"On the next flight out."

"Well, you're welcome to stay. I can drive you to the airport too." He offered. I nodded.

"Thanks."
