She promised shed never tell anybody about the beach we went to so I was always happy. One night that was really cloudy I felt someone watching me. I knew for a fact not to go into the water because it was dangerous but Jessica convinced me to anyways. So I did. We floated on are backs when suddenly I heard Jess scream she was almost under the water. I didn't know what to do so I ran to get help. A couple minutes later Mrs. Snow was there. She pulled Jess out of the water and right when she did she started screaming "She did it she said as she pointed to me. She dragged me into the water and pushed me under till I couldn't breathe as I was drowning she went to get you so that she wouldn't be blamed" I want you to cause her pain!" What I had a worried look on my face I did not she was a big liar. "But Mrs. Snow..." I started then she cut me off how can you do this to Jessica. I was about to burst with anger, I trusted her and she betrayed me. She said when you get back you are grounded for ever that means no beach and if I check you will pay!!" I ran home faster than the blink of an eye and cried into my bed. This has been the worst day of my life! That night I stayed in my bed and silently cried, the next night I did the same and the third night I didn't care. I tiptoed outside and ran. Through the sand. Rain was pouring down but I kept going. The sand felt like quicksand and every step was like pulling 50 pounds. I stayed into the water until it was shining outside I didn't care I just wanted to let Mrs. Snow that she is completely wrong and I don't care one bit. I was freezing cold but I didn't care. If I could wish one thing is to get her back. I lied on the sand slowly falling into a deep sleep. I had a flash back of my mom we use to go and find sea glass and we always tried to see who got more. Sometimes they were blue sometimes they were green but my favorite was always blue. I remember the time when I was little and she...she got hurt she picked up a piece that was sharp. It was bleeding. A lot and my dad was there and it hurt but... then morning sun shined I decided to go into the water it was misty though the sun was shining. It was murky and grey. I went in everything was going good until I stepped into nothingness it was deep to deep I felt myself go under. I couldn't get back up. I was pushing and pushing but I couldn't get up. I could taste the blood in my throat. My hand flared up one more time into the air and then I sank into the water, salt stung at my eyes. I was dying and nobody was seeing it. I felt like all the energy has washed out of me, my hands were motionless only moving in the strong current. All the flash backs came back to me in 30 seconds the orphanage, Jess, the mystery boy, and my mom and dad. They were all there I remember my parents at a party, I was having so much fun when my mom said we had to go, I threw a tantrum and ran away my mom was yelling at me but I hide when she found me she grounded me I was in my room screaming and kicking the wishing she wasn't my mom. I didn't know that would have been one of her last memories of me, and I regretted that day, every day I remember. I was only 7 I didn't know but know I do and I regret it. Back to reality and I was at the bottom of the ocean. My hair was like sea weed it was reaching and grabbing for me. I wouldn't believe it, I wouldn't believe my parents where gone and I was on the bottom of the ocean floor dying in misery, if I could say one last thing it would be sorry but I don't have that chance anymore its only me. Me against the world. My arm really hurt but I couldn't dare to look at it. Blood stung my lip as licked the saltiness. I felt the bottom of the sandy floor and found something, I clutched it in my hand and for some reason it gave me strength. With my arms I pushed to the top of the water where the sun shined. I still held the mystery object in my hand still. I waited floating on the surface the place I know and love. I know I can never go back here without this felling. I closed my eyes which may be my last time I do. I felt a hand pulling me but I couldn't look up. I felt if I breathed one more time it would be my last, I felt my head get scratched by the hard sand. I opened one eye and saw two bloody knees. I heard a voice from behind me say "are you ok" I said nothing for I lost my voice I think the rapids have token my voice away. I looked behind me and saw the mystery boy. He had saved me and all I was a huge jerk. Then he disappeared. His duty was done. I smiled to myself remembering, in my hand that's been in my fist the whole time is greater then you could remember, it was a sign. It was blue it looked like a gem. I had some sea glass. It may mean nothing to you but to me it's a sign, a promise and you'll never know the beauty of it. I know my mom and dad were never coming back, I had to life without them, I know I was strong and I knew I could live without them but there would always be an empty part in me.
