I'd Be Another Memory

"Remember me..."

I heard a voice sing out. I wasn't sure what they said, but I knew they were singing. Slowly, I opened my eyes. As my vision adjusted, I realized I was underwater. How'd I end up here? Completely forgetting what I'd heard, I looked around. I was wearing a dress, the bottom flowing with every move. My jet black hair was moving with the water around. And, as if it were possible, my skin looked paler than I'd ever seen it. Besides myself, I saw nothing else in the water.

"Remember me..."

There it was again. I still couldn't understand what was said, but I knew someone (or something) had sung. Desperate to find what had made the noise, I swam around. Whenever I went to dive deeper, I couldn't. Something in my mind was warning me not to, my body not cooperating.

There's something dark down there...

I began to swim up, but something grabbed onto my ankle. To say I was freaking out was an understatement.

I tried to swim up again, but whatever had grabbed me was trying to drag me down. Terrified of what it might be, I refused to look down while I was thrashing about. Then a very important question seemed to hit me....how the hell was I still alive when I wasn't breathing?! I'd been under here for a good amount of time. If I didn't think things could be worse, I was dead fucking wrong. Because of my sudden realization, my body took notice of the fact I hadn't been breathing. My chest hurt, my throat hurt. I was so tempted to just breathe in the water, to get something into my lungs. But then you'd be dead, dumbass.

I finally looked down to see what was trying to kill me. In the darkness were my parents (my mother was holding onto my ankle), my friends, and my bestfriend, Claire. They all glared at me in disgust. What are they all doing here? Aren't they supposed to be helping me? Tears started to form in my eyes and I know they weren't just the water. I was terrified at their expressions, they all wanted me dead.

"That's the first time you've been right in your whole life!" My eyes widened. That was mother's voice, crisp as if we were face to face outside of the water.

"You're ugly, Emery! Don't you realize that? No one wanted you!"

"Her own parents didn't want her! How pathetic.."

"You're so fat! I don't know how I dealt with you all these years."

"I bet you wish you could slit your wrists now, don't you? Don't worry, sweetie. We'll drag you down to hell where you can burn. An eternity of pain! Hahaha"

My eyes and ears couldn't believe what they were saying. Especially the last one. That last one was from Claire. Had my bestfriend really said that to me? I looked down and saw she was now holding onto my ankle instead of my mother. You're all dead to me now. And you're all going to hell, without me. I kicked her shoulder as hard as I could and she let go, cursing out.

"You can't get away, bitch!" I quickly swam up, not daring to look back. Those fuckers better not come after me.. Or else I'm really dead. I was almost at the surface when I heard the voice again.

"Remember me..."

Remember me? Remember who? That voice..I know that voice! But I couldn't place a name or face.. I looked up, still swimming. There was nothing there. Who the hell was saying that? I finally reached the surface but when I tried to break through, I couldn't! As if there was something covering the water. For fuck's sake, I'm going to die! I was banging against the surface but it didn't do a thing. I'm gonna die..I'm gonna die...I'm gonna die... Don't look down, retard! Too late. I looked down and saw they all caught up with me. Fuckkkk!!!! I can't fucking breathe, everyone I love is out to drown me, and the fucking ocean won't let me out! I have a body of water out to kill me, wonderful. My bestfriend let out a maniacal laugh and grabbed onto my ankle once more. I tried shaking her off, but the bitch just wouldn't let go! With one last attempt, I punched the solid surface... Nothing. I closed my eyes. I give up. My body had completely let go. Just drag me down... When I thought my mind would let the dark consume it, a hand came into the water and grabbed hold of me. Great, now someone from above is pushing me down... But then, they grabbed onto both my arms and dragged me up. I couldn't think straight , I was slowly losing consciousness. But I opened my eyes. And gulped in as much as air humanly possible. My vision was blurry as fuck, let me tell you. I heard muffled voices. I couldn't understand any of them but I could tell there were 5 guys. They were all looking at me and then they were all hugging me. I couldn't see their faces. I want to see their faces! Dammit.

"Remember me..."

The person who was still hugging me said it. That was him? He gently let me down and they all looked at me. I saw their faces.. I knew who they were! It was-
