Drowning For Love

Chapter 1

Amanda's POV

"Em...the water is pretty deep over here...I have a bad feeling," I said with a worried expression.

My friend, Emily, looked at me with disbelief. "Why?! It's fun!" She said splashing water on me.

I still didn't trust being this deep so I just went along with it and laughed nervously and splashed her back with water. "Well I guess it isn't so bad..."

"Just relax, nothing bad is gonna happen," she reassured me.

"Okay," I breathed in shakily, "can we just swim a little closer to shore?"

She gave me a look like i was crazy, "No! It's fun out here, c'mon Amanda, don't be a drag!"

Ugh. I hated when she calls me a drag. I can't help but worry that something bad is going to happen. "B-b-but...fine." I just decided to at least relax a little and back float. As I just floated there, Emily dived under and comes back up super quick.

"ACK! I SWALLOWED OCEAN WATER!" She screeched as she spit all the water out of her mouth while I'm over here laughing my butt off.

"AHAHAHAHA D-DID IT TASTE GOOD? AHAHAHAHA!" I laughed so hard I think I scared the fish away.

She shook her head, "it was like salt and dirt!"

YUCK!

"Disgusting ain't it?" I said shaking my head.

Emily had a look on her face where she was genuinely grossed out. "Yes...AMANDA YOU HAVE TO SWIM DEEPER!

Dang...CAN SHE TELL I DON'T WANT TO GO FARTHER IN THE WATER?!?! "Nooooo," I whined.

She swam out deeper and yelled over to me, "your loss!"

I'm actually happy I'm not that deep in the water... but I'm also worried about Emily. "OK BUT DON'T COME CRYING TO ME WHEN A WAVE GETS YOU AND YOU TASTE SALT WATER!" I called out to her.

She just stuck her tongue out at me. "MEHH!"

I just shook it off. "I'M GONNA LAUGH WHEN WATER GETS IN YOUR MOUTH!" I yelled at her.

"IT WON'T! PSSHH!" Emily said not believing that it would happen. But I have a feeling that it would.

 "Whatever," I said smiling mostly because I know that water is going to get in her mouth again.

She seemed a little sad since I wouldn't go as far where she is. "Amanda, c'mon it's boring  to swim alone...plus...what about sharks...?"

SHARKS?! OH HECK TO THE NO!

I screamed, "SHARKS?!?! THERE'S SHARKS IN THIS WATER?!?! OH HAYL NO! I'M GOING!"

Emily probably wished that she hadn't said that, "AMANDA NOOOO!"

"Fine I won't leave...only if you just swim closer to me. Just don't be that deep in the water, it's making me uncomfortable," you can obvouisly hear the worry in my voice.

She scoffed and pouted. "No! but YOU can swim out deeper."

Groaning, I said, "but I'm scareddd!"

"WIMP!" She called me.

Oh hayl no, you DO NOT call me a wimp. "BITCH, YOU SAID THERE ARE SHARKS! I AIN'T GOIN ANY DEEPER IN THE WATER THAN THIS!"

She just shook her head, "fine, you suck!" She swam even farther than where she was. "IT'S SO DEEP!"

I'm getting so scared now. "STAHHHP YOU'RE SCARING ME!" Emily just ignored me and kept swimming further. "EMILY STOP NOW!" i guess I was so worried that I started swimming a few yards toward her. "STOP IT EMILY!"

Again, she ignored me and kept on swimming. "JUST KEEP SWIMMING, JUST KEEP SWIMMING! WHAT DO WE DO? WE SWIM!"

UGH! She's relentless. "EMILY WE AREN'T FISH! EMILY STOPPP!" I swam even closer to her, "I DON'T TRUST BEING THIS FAR OUT FROM SHORE! STOPPP!"

"NOOO! THIS IS FUN!" She yelled while wading out farther, "I LIKE THE WATER!"

"EMILY, PLEASE STOP YOU'RE SCARING ME!" I kept on swimming closer to her.

She didn't like the fact that I'm trying to make her stop swimmng that far. "WHERE HAS STOPPING EVER GOTTEN ME?!"

I can't believe she's so stubborn. I just yelled back saying, "WELL IT'S KEPT YOU ALIVE! NOW GET OVER HERE PLEASE!"

Emily pouted, "but I don't wanna!"

I shook my head and just gave up. "You know what...fine...fine I'm swimming back to shore."

"Suit yourself," Em said as she started splashing around again.

"Em...please swim closer to shore so I feel a little safer," I tried reasoning.

She was whining, "but I don't reallyyyyy don't wannaa!"

"Pleaseee," I begged.

"Bu...Bu..."

"Please."

"Boo..."

FINALLY! Takes a century for her head to finally agree to something. "Thank you!"

Author's POV

As Emily started swimming over, something brushed up against her leg. "WHUDDA FUCK WAS THAT?!"
