I woke up to someone picking me up.

I jerk awake and look around, seeing that we're at Bowman and Braxton is carrying me inside the cabin.

He chuckles at me when I tell him, "I can walk you know."

"Yeah I know, but I like having you in my arms." He whispers the last part in my ear, causing shivers to wrack my spine.

I smack his chest when he puts me down to open the door.

I give him the keys and we walk inside.

Kalie gasps from behind us, but its not from the beauty of the cabin, no.

The house is trashed.

Someone has been living here.

I walk farther in, but Braxton grabs me back and signals for me to be quiet, telling me silently what I'd rather not face.

Someone could be in the house.

He walks into the kitchen with me following closely behind him and the rest of our friends wait outside.

The kitchen is an even biggger mess. The fridge has no food in it, dishes are stacked in the sink, the floor is covered in trash.

My breathing is getting heavier by the minute.

Braxton senses this and grabs my hand as we make our way to the bedrooms.

I see one door ajar, the one a couple of my old friends used to stay in, and I hear humming coming through it.

I share a look with Braxton and we tiptoe towards the door.

When we're about an inch away I hear a gasp from behind us, and I whip around just in time to hear Braxton scream something at me, but I'm not paying attention.

I'm lost in the eyes of the person who grew up in this house with me, and knows everything there is to know about me, the only person I've ever truly felt understood me.

"Rory!?"

"Dacey! Van's here!" He screams and that's the last thing I hear before he engulfs me in his arms.

Sorry for the short chapter, it's just a filler right now.

Who's Rory?

Who's Dacey?

Ex boyfriend?

Best friend?

Comment your thoughts!

Your songs remind me of swimming

Which I forgot when I started to sink

Dragged further away from the shore

And deeper into the drink

Sat on the bottom of the ocean,

A stern and stubborn rock

Cause your songs remind me of swimming,

But somehow I forgot

I was sinking, but now I'm sunk

And I was drinking, and now I'm drunk

Your songs remind me of swimming

But somehow I forgot

I tried to remember the chorus

I can't remember the verse

Cause that song that sent me swimming

Is now the life jacket that burst

Rotting like a wreck on the ocean floor

Sinking like a siren that can't swim anymore

Your songs remind me of swimming

But I can't swim any more

Pull me out the water, cold and blue

I open my eyes, see that it's you

So I dive straight back in the ocean

So I dive straight back in the ocean

Take a deep breath, suck the water in my chest

Take a deep breath, suck the water in my chest

And cross my fingers, and hope for the best

Then all of a sudden, I heard a note

It started in my chest and ended in my throat

Then I realized, then I realized, then I realized

I was swimming,

Yes, I was swimming

And now I'm swimming

Yes, I am swimming

Your songs remind me of swimming

Which I forgot when I started to sink

Your songs remind me of swimming

Which I forgot when I started to sink

Oh, your songs remind me of swimming

Which I forgot when I started . . .

Your songs remind me of swimming

Which I forgot when i started . . .

to sink.

I was obsessed with this song for months.

just thought I'd share it.
