Life With Siblings

CHAPTER 3

Continued---

So I saw Magnus and Skyler waiting for me and Emma ,already changed and in their swimming trunks

" Hey Munchkins "

said Magnus picking up Emma from my shoulders 

" Emma lets go change "

I called and she went with me to the bathrooms

Once i had changed myself and helped emma into her swimming costume and we went outside again

Magnus was about to dive from the top diving platform and Skyler was standing in line behind him

I held Emma's hand so that she wouldn't slip near the edges of the pool and helped her into her floaties

We walked into the water and Emma started to swim , or tried to anyway

Meanwhile I swimmed over to the deep side , got out and climbed onto the diving board

I was about to dive when I heard Skyler's voice saying

"Too scared to jump of the top!"

I looked to see, him and Magnus both smirking at me

"No !"

I said more bravely than I felt

I did have a fear of heights and the diving platform was atleast about 20 ft up

" Come on, Skyler , you know the itty witty baby is afraid of heights"

Said Magnus making a gesture of a crying baby rubbing his eyes

" I'm not afraid , You assholes!"

" Now ,now , Good boys don't use words like that do they Austin?"

said Skyler in a mocking tone

"Fine, If you're so brave , prove it and do this!"

Magnus then backflipped in the air and dived gracefully into the pool

" But that's not fair , you both were in gymnastics! "

clearly the nervousness was showing in my voice as well on my face because he then said

"Fine. then just dive into it , I trust you don't need gymnastics to know how to dive, do you?"

" No!"

I said furiously and started climbing the ladder to the top ,halfway up my anger seemed to disappear and a sense of fear and nervousness started to fill up inside of me

what the hell was I thinking I couldn't do this , I should probably just turn back 

But NO I must do it to show to my brothers I'm not a coward

the ladder finished and I climbed onto the platform

And a few seconds later so did Magnus 

 he went ahead of me to stand with skyler

"Alright , dipshit. Here's your chance to prove You're not as big of a coward as you seem"

I walked past both of them too immersed in my fear to notice... Skyler nudging Magnus (with an evil grin ) as if he was about to do something evil and wanted Magnus to notice it

I stood a few centimetres away from the edge of the platform preparing myself

again I was so into getting prepared , I didn't notice Skyler quietly walking away from Magnus behind me

I bent my back into a diagonal line and bent my knees about to dive

my feet left the ground for just a few milli-seconds
