I don't understand- why we- had to wear bathing suits- if we were hiking. I say to my mother and Rick, bending over resting my hands on my knees trying to calm down. This trail seemed never ending. I had my hair tied into a back pony tail, but that didn't make me any less hot.

"You'll see when we're finished now quit whining and catch up" Rick says trying to hurry me.

Everyone was in front of me including Harry. He turns around smiling at how tired I looked probably.

"I don't understand why this is so difficult for you. You handle the drills at gym like a pro"

"No drills at gym are a nine mile up and down hill"

He laughs before grabbing my hand and holding it behind his back. Making sure that if our parents turned around it wouldn't be noticable and we could quickly let go.

"Rick, we are almost there aren't we?"

My mom questions him making me laugh under my breathe because she was on our asses about not being lazy and don't question anything all this morning.

"Soon, love"

He says kissing her temple. We for miles on end walk until we finally pause. I look around confused because we were standing on a cliff.

"Where are we?"

"Look down"  Rick says with a smile on his face. I step closer to the edge looking over. There was a body of water and next to it a huge waterfall. I back away in horror and turn around to everyone in their swimsuits. We were about 20 feet up.

"You guys can't seriously be considering jumping from here, are you?"

"Why not?"

Rick says extremely nonchalant about the entire thing.

"I- I don't even jump into the swimming pool. You seriously want me to jump in to everything that's been weathered and eroded in that water with the creatures waiting to swallow us whole?"

I question them panic vivid in my voice. They all smile at how worried I was but I wasn't laughing.

"It's seriously not that bad"

He says trying to convince me but I was sticking to what I said.

"It's easy. See?"

He says grabbing my mom's hand and before I know it they plunge in to the water. Leaving Harry standing there smiling at me. He walks over to me putting his arms around my waist. He pulls me further back so they can't see us if they look up.

"I don't want to do this"

"Life is no fun without taking a risk"

He says making me roll my eyes

"Harry I'm serious"

"So am I. Plus- it would be really unfortunate if you looked that good in a swimsuit and didn't get to show it off"

As hard as I try I can't help but smile.

"You guys need to hurry in! The water is actually warm!"

We hear Rick shout. Harry randomly leans in kissing me and I feel the panic slightly melt away.

"Let's go"

He says lowly. I was clearly the only one panicking. I move out of his arms. This was a new bathing suit and I really liked it. The base was white but covered by a pink tropical flower and palm tree leaf design. I take my pony tail out and step closer to the edge looking over it again. I feel Harry wrap his arms around me from behind kissing my temple. My body tenses feeling his bare chest, against my bare back.
