Niall's P.O.V.
“Do you really know where the beach is?”, Liam asks again. I nod. “Sure. I’ve been there before!”, I explain but actually I don’t have a clue where we are. I just don’t want to say it because the boys said before that it wouldn’t be a good idea to choose me as a guide.
I sigh and take a look on the map. “I told you he wouldn’t know it! If he would be familiar with this city we probably wouldn’t know Wilma, Annika, Alva and Amanda now”, Harry says laughing. Well actually he’s right. We wouldn’t know the girls without me. I smile. I’m awesome, but not at finding the right way to the beach. Dammit! “Maybe we should call the girls!?”, I’m say, or ask, I’m not sure. Harry nods: “Great idea! Give me your mobile and I’ll call them!” Sure. He just wants to talk to Wilma!, I think to myself and open my bag.
Oh no. Not again!
I look at the boys, being totally sure they are about to kill me when they find out what happened. Again. “Niall! Please tell us you didn’t forget your mo-…” I nod slowly. “Niall! What a miracle that you didn’t lose your head yet!”, Liam screams. That reminds me of something. Someone said that before. It was Wilma! And Annika defended me, I think back. Oh right! She wrote it on that sheet of paper, didn’t she? I check my pockets.
There it is. I laugh: “Look what I found guys!” Louis takes the note and reads it out loud. “Aww how cute!”, he says in kind of a sarcastic way, making it look really cheesy. I grab it and sigh: “That’s not what I meant!”, I say angrily, “I meant the number below!”, I explain and point at it.
“Anybody who’s got a mobile here?”, I ask all of them but the only one who raises his hand is Liam. I roll my eyes. “Are you serious?”, I ask but they just nod. “Yep. You know we love blaming everything on you!”, Louis explains laughing. I want to look angry but I can’t stand it and burst out laughing. I’m not good at this.
“Give me that number!”, Liam says, takes the sheet of paper and deals the number. Only seconds later Annika answers: “Hello!?”, she doesn’t use many words herself. Just like me. I guess eating is more important than talking.
“Hi it’s Liam. Liam Payne.” “Oookay… why do you have my number?”, she seems to be confused. “Niall gave it to me!” “But uhm… ookay. So my number goes round?”, she laughs. “Looks like that!”, Liam answers. “Okay. Awkward but whatever. New subject: Where the hell are you? We wait for about an hour already! I tried to call Niall but he won’t answer!” Oops she’s angry. “Yeah he forgot his mobile again. And also he doesn’t know where the beach is!” “We trusted you!”, Louis cries jokingly. I roll my eyes but then I start to laugh too, acting all weird.
“Where are you now?”, Annika asks Liam and he tells her the street. It takes a while till she finally replies again. “Ooh. Well that might take a while now till you reach the beach…” Then she tries to explain Liam where to go. “But maybe it’s the best if you ask some people here. Because actually I’m not really sure. I asked Amanda and Alva because they’ve been in Vancouver for longer now but they say they’ve never been there!” “Fantastic!”, Harry says. More sarcasm is not possible!, I think to myself but I have to say that he’s unfortunately right.
“Okay thanks, nevertheless!”, Liam says and ends the call. “You heard what she said”, he says. Right he turned it loud. “Let’s ask some people!” Oh yeah. One direction ask people where the beach is. This will go down in history! Hopefully we won’t meet too many fans. I don’t want that! Not today!
Two hours later…
“Do you guys think we’ll EVER reach the beach?”, Harry asks. But most of us shake their heads. “What about taking a break? I can’t walk anymore!”, Louis says. “And I’m hungry!”, I add and everybody sighs.
So we decide to take a break and go eat something. “What do you think are the girls doing at the moment?”, I ask. “If they’re still on the beach… what do you think they’re doing?”, Harry asks. This day is full of sarcasm! I keep my mouth shut. This was obviously one of those questions where the person who asked it doesn’t expect an answer.
When we won’t to leave the restaurant again a girl suddenly stops us. Oh no. Please don’t be a fan. Not now. The girls are waiting! “Zayn? Niall? Harry? Louis? Liam!?”, she asks and we nod as soon as we hear our name. Why did we do this? We could’ve said that she mistook us! “One Direction!?”, she says smiling so bright. Another nod. “What are you guys doing here?”, she says as if we would be her best friends, she didn’t meet for a long time. Am I supposed to know her?
“Tour!” She nods looking extremely serious but then she laughs. “But we’ve got to go now!”, I explain and want to continue walking but she stops me. “Why? Vas happenin’?”, she asks and winks at Zayn. Nobody answers. “So actually. I know I shouldn’t do this but I heard what you were talking about in the restaurant!”, she laughs, “You want to go to the beach, don’t you?” “Yes that’s right!”, Louis says. “So if I got that right you don’t have a clue where the beach is!? Is that right too?”, she adds. We nod.
“Maybe I could help you then!?”, she laughs and I just hunch my shoulders. “Where are you from?”, Zayn asks. “From here. Vancouver, Canada! Well actually I’m from the UK. But we moved to Vancouver for… for several reasons… So I guess I might be able to help you!?”, she looked like she would be down when she talked about moving to Canada but then she started smiling again.
We all think about what she just said. She might just be a crazy fan but it if we accept her help and she doesn’t know the right way it’ll be the same as when we don’t want her to help us and we don’t have a clue. It’s like this is going to happen willy-nilly. But the guys seem to trust her and agree so I do it too.
“Okay guys. So first we’re going to take the skytrain and then…”, she keeps talking but leads the way so we can’t really understand what she says anymore and just follow her. “What’s your name by the way?”, Zayn suddenly asks after nobody said a word for some minutes.
“Holly!”, she says and leaps for joy. She seems to be a really happy person! I can see Zayn wants to say something but… “Nice name!”, Louis says laughing so Zayn just nods. “And how old are you?”, Harry asks while checking his mentions on his mobile. “Seventeen and a half!”, and she laughs again.
About half an hour later we finally arrive at the beach. 8pm. Wow. So early. Sarcasm is my best friend today!
I wonder if the girls are still here…
