"This is empty." Kie sighed as she looked down at the gauges on the tanks that the pair had brought. Saturn bit her lip and looked between her friends.
"Wait, this one is a quarter full." The blonde girl said holding up a different one with a hopeful look in her eyes, she didn't want to let JJ and John B down.
"It's enough for one of us." Saturn sighed running a hand down her face in irritation.
"Love it when a plan comes together." Pope groaned giving JJ a pointed look since it was his plan in the first place. "Okay, does anyone know how to dive?" At the question, everyone's eyes drifted down to the girl who's gear it was in the first place.
"Yeah, I can do it." She frowned. Saturn knew how to dive and was good at it she just wasn't a fan of it. The girl had a major fear of drowning. And the group knew this.
"It's fine you don't have to Satty, besides, you put the thing in your mouth and breathe. How hard could it be?" JJ said stepping forward trying to ease his friend's fear.
"If you come up too fast, nitrogen gets in your blood and you get the bends." Pope explained.
"Bends? Like bend over?" JJ joked sticking his ass in the air bumping into the blonde.
"The bends kill you JJ." She sighed irritation seeping into her. "And it's fine I know how to do it. I'll do it." Her blue eyes looked down at the water, the sun bouncing off it with a blinding light.
"Um, Pope, where do I need to make my safety stop?" Saturn breathed trying to keep her heartrate calm knowing that she was going to need to hold her breath as long as she could since there wasn't very much air in the tank.
"So the boats about 30 feet down. Okay. So it'll take 25 minutes at that depth." Pope explained trying not to scare her, it wasn't his fault though, she was going to be scared regardless.
"So 10 feet." She murmured picking at her finer nails. John B was watching her carefully, the quick rise and fall of her chest and the anxious picking of her nails told him how truly nervous she was.
Kie looked at Saturn before stripping her shirt off and jumping in the water. "What was that all about?" JJ asked raising an eyebrow.
John B ignored the blonde and Pope as they discussed it and instead turned to Saturn and rested his hands on her shoulders. "You don't have to do this." She could feel his breath on her face but couldn't look up from the rippling water below them.
"John B, it's fine. What's the worst I'm going to find? His body isn't down there anymore." Saturn looked up to meet his chocolate eyes. He was watching her looking for any sign that she was lying and wasn't going to be able to do this. Thankfully for Saturn Kie popped back up her eyes skimming past the boys until they landed on Saturn.
"Okay, so I tied my shirt about 10 feet down where you'll do your safety stop." The brunette said pushing her hair from her face.
"Okay so when you're down there look for the cargo hold, you stick this thing inside and twist and pull, okay?" JJ said as he wrapped an arm around her shoulder showing her the key before resting it in her palm.
Saturn didn't listen to her friends as she hooked herself up to the gear, they were all reassuring her and telling her things that she already knew about diving.
"Diver down." She breathed taking a step off the nose of the boat just as John B reached out for her one last time.
The water was colder than she was expecting and only got colder as she got deeper. The salt was stinging in the small cuts and scrapes that littered her body as she clung to the line and swam to the boat.
As Saturn turned the key in the cargo hold she felt the current changed and looked out at the water around her hoping that she was truly alone, although an eerie feeling was creeping up inside her. Saturn had to squint her eyes to see the second silhouette of a boat above her and a body in the water under the boat.
Quickly realizing that she didn't have much air left she stuck her hand in the cargo hold and grabbed the black duffle bag that was sitting in it. The fact that she had a minute and a half left of air and she still had to do a two minute safety stop was starting to hit her as he vision started to get blurry from breathing as little as possible.
The beeping of her scuba gear telling her she had no air left was ringing in her ears as she gripped Kiara's shirt like her like depended on it. It wasn't until the blurry silhouette of the other boat started motoring away that Saturn started kicking like her live depended on it. Her vision was going nearly black when she broke the barrier of the water the sun kissing her skin as she gasped for air her friends staring at her in concern.
"Saturn!" John B gushed reaching out for the girl and helping her onto the boat, the blonde heaving the bag onto the deck as she cough trying to get salt water out of her lungs and fresh air in.
"Are you okay?" John B's words reached her ears as the boy ran his fingers through her hair trying to allow her to catch her breath. "Y-yeah, I'm fine. Ran out of air." Saturn's blue eyes looked up and once they rested on John B's face a large smile graced her features, "I did it."
John B's eyes sparkled as he looked down at the blonde who was half laying in his lap with a dopey smile on her face.
"Yeah you did."
