The sea water surrounds me. I don't swim up for air I stay where I am and soon darkness surrounds me.

I regret letting this happen. I regret giving into the guilt I felt. I should have swam. I needed to live. For my parents sake. But it was too late.

My eyes closed and I waited for the end, but It never came.

Strong hands gripped my wrists pulling me towards the surface. I breathe in the fresh air. Coughing up the salt water that surrounded my lungs. The warm sand felt hot against my skin and with each breathe I became more thankful.

"Th-thank you."

Blake lets out an emotionless laugh before pushing the hair out of my face.

His expression serious, "I know what you did last summer, so don't thank me."

Was his last words, as he walked away. Kennedy ran up to me asking me continuous questions. I didn't answer.

My mind was consumed with last summer's events. What had he seen?
