Matt Daehler - One Shot

One Shot (Part 1) - Drowning

Third Person's POV,

"No! I don't want to come. Please, Mr. Lahey." Silvia pleaded.

"You're just going to get your cute butt out there tonight after winning the swim competition otherwise you'll be sorry and kicked out of the team!" Mr. Lahey practically screamed in her face and slapped her, leaving a red mark on her cheek. Silvia fell to the ground from the impact of the slap and held her cheek.

Silvia knew that if she didn't come to the party tonight it would be far worse than just a slap, though it really hurt. Plus she would be kicked out of the swimming team and she didn't want that. At least Silvia knew she shouldn't drink anything they offered.

"If you ever tell anyone about this you'll be kicked out of the swim team and you'll get far worse than now." Mr. Lahey said outraged, although Silvia didn't really know why Mr. Lahey was so angry. She just didn't want to go to that foolish party. Why would he care if she would go to a party.

"I-I won't." Silvia said, swallowing in fear.

"Good. Now go get your cute butt into that swimming suit and win that game." Mr. Lahey said with a satisfied face.

Oh how she loathed him. But. She couldn't do anything about him. Silvia felt sorry for Isaac and Cameron to have Mr. Lahey as a father. Silvia knew Isaac and Cameron weren't like Mr. Lahey.

When Cameron died fighting in the army Mr. Lahey became worse. Silvia of course noticed this and saw the bruises on Isaac's cheeks but she couldn't say anything. She tried talking to Isaac but he would just shut her down. Isaac put a wall up and she hasn't been able to break it. Cameron, Isaac and Silvia were great childhood friends. They loved each other and they saw each other as a sibling. When Cameron died, not only became Mr. Lahey worser but Silvia also changed. Scott, Silvia's brother, noticed this but knew he just had to give Silvia time alone. If only he knew he should've been there for her and comfort her.

Silvia lost all her friends as she began putting a wall up herself after Isaac put a wall up. Silvia won't let anyone in and is still scarred and scars won't go away, just like paper.

Pick up a white paper. Squish it in a ball. Stamp on it and open it again. No matter what you do you can't make the lines fade away. There'll always be scars.

Eventually after Silvia won the swim contest she had to get ready for the party only she didn't know what to wear.

Silvia decided to just go with dark jeans, a dark blue v-neck t-shirt and her leather jacket. She put on some smokey make-up and a bracelet and necklace.

After Silvia was done dressing up she went towards her car and drove towards where the party would be. Silvia heard there would be a swimming pool there but she wasn't planning on swimming for one; it's cold at night and 2; Everyone would be able to see her body and most likely everyone will be drunk out of their asses tonight.

Silvia arrived in 15 minutes to the party and walked in, getting lustful looks immediately from other boys her age. The kinds of look that says 'I want to have sex with you.'

As the night went on and everyone became drunk as Silvia guessed already. She knew it didn't last long anymore before someone grabs her and jumps on her. Luckily she brought her dagger and put it in her bra.

However she noticed one boy who didn't appear drunk. Quite the opposite actually. He seemed really awkward and completely sober. Silvia became curious about this innocent boy who seemed out of place while he took pictures. Why would anyone want to take pictures here?

Than she realized. The innocent boy is Matt Daehler. He takes pictures for school. Silvia had to admit he was cute. Very cute. And handsome of course. Silvia wanted to approach him slowly but he was the only real person sober so she just walked towards him.
