The Storm (Part 2) The first one is on (YoungSheldonViral (Taylor’s Version)

Drama Friendship Suspense

Written in response to: "Write about a backstabbing (literal or metaphorical) gone wrong." as part of Et Tu, Brute?.

I tried to gasp for air, but the waves kept crashing against my body. I was being pushed under the current, not being able to breathe. Seawater rushed down my throat and into my lungs. 


Everything burned. I started to scream,


"HELP! SOMEBODY! HELP!"


Eventually I got enough air to swim under water. I couldn't find Gianna. I swam farther down and found her sinking. I almost screamed again. I grabbed her arm and eventually wrapped her around my shoulders. 


When I got her to the surface of the water and tried kicking the boat. The boat eventually worked in my favor. I tried to carefully throw Gianna into the boat. I yelled at the universe to stop. It calmed down a little, Gianna was in the boat, I scooped enough water out. 


I got Gianna on her back, I tried CPR. No use. No pulse! I tried again and again, this time I plugged her nose and breathed into her mouth.


"COME. ON. GIANNA!"

"Please!" I cried.

"P-Please!"

The beefcake lifeguard's speed boat came onto us, I helped lift Gianna in it.


That's when I got pushed under the water. Under the boat.


Black. Pitch black. Pure darkness.


I couldn't breathe, it was burning. It felt like I was lit on fire.


Memories flashed through my head, as if my whole life was just one big 

movie. A movie about to end.


That's when everything went white. I saw my dad.
