The Boy Across The Lake (BoyxBoy)

Did You Really Have To Bring Him Into This?

Harry POV

Well that didn't end well... Zach and I had rushed over here after Zach was informed by the police about the incident. It shocked both of us neither of us could have expected that out of everyone in this town Corey, the animal expert, was bitten by a poisonous snake. So after running out of the dinning room, without stating why, we quickly raced across the lake and into the car.

"Zach calm down!" I shouted as I chased him down the hall before catching him at the elevator.

"Let's head to your house and just calm down okay? There's no point in staying here alright?" I noticed tears drop to the plain tiled floor as Zach shook his head yes.

I parked the car and pulled out the keys and looked at Zach. He was curled up in a tight ball asleep in the back seat. I sighed leaning back into the chair as I rubbed my eyes. I felt bad for Zach, Corey ment a lot to him as his goofy ways and knowledge always cheered up Zack but now the only thing left of Corey that Zack has is a trail of muddy foot prints. I don't entirely blame Corey as he was left alone in a life and death situation as his best friend partied with celebrities, and competition. I had known from day one that Corey was intimidated by me when it came to friendships even though I don't know why.

"Louis!" A voice shouted. I looked up and chuckled and stepped out of the car as I saw the four boys trying to cross the lake, nearing the shore louis had started to shake the boat as he scratched his back and tipped over the boat.

"What the hell are you guys doing?" I yelled through my laughter, watching as Niall was the first to break the surface and flip the canoe back over. Liam was the second to emerge from the water and climb into the boat with the help of Niall.

"Trying to get to shore what the hell's it look like?" Louis said, back-sassing. I rolled my eyes, but then stopped as I looked for one more member.

"Wait...where's Zayn?" I asked, my eyes widening as I thought about it.

"Shit..." I quickly threw my shirt off and threw my phone out of my pocket, sprinting towards the water and diving in. I knew Zayn couldn't swim (don't ask, Zach constantly talks about One Direction) but I also knew there was an insane amount of grass underneath the water. If you weren't careful the long weeds could wrap themselves around your legs and you'd get stuck. I learned that the hard way when I was swimming around in the lake and I couldn't resurface. When I thought I was going to drown I felt somebody pull something off my legs and bring me back to the surface, that somebody being Zach. Kind of how we met actually, but that's another story that I can tell later.

"Where's Zayn?!" I heard Niall's frantic shouts, ignoring them as I dove deep into the water. I opened my eyes and looked around, catching a glimpse of silver. I quickly swam towards the thick grasses and saw the glimmer coming from Zayn's watch. I kicked as hard as I could and carefully unwrapped Zayn's legs, not wanting to get myself stuck. Once he was free I brought him up to the surface, hurriedly making my way towards the shore where the boys were waiting.

"Is he okay?"

"Louis call and ambulance!"

"What the hell happened to him?" I felt myself getting irritated as I gently lie Zayn on the ground.

"Shut up will you?" I placed my fingers on Zayn's neck, feeling for a pulse then sighing in relief as I felt one.

"Give me some space." The boys stepped back and I pinched Zayn's nose and opened his mouth, going in. I puffed in some air and placed my hands on his chest, pushing down hard as I counted. I did this a couple more times and finally Zayn coughed up the water. I sat back as he leaned over onto his stomach, his eyes wide as he spluttered.
