Chapter Eleven

*Next Morning*

"Wake up, babe."

"Why?"

I sleepily grumbled.

"Because breakfast is here."

"I'm up, I'm up!"

I quickly said, eager to go eat the delicious room service. I walked into the living room to discover that Harry had ordered my favorite, chocolate chip pancakes!

"Yay!"

I squealed, jumping up and down like a child.

After breakfast, I went to go take a shower. When I got done, I walked out to find Harry waiting on me.

"Come on."

He said, as I slipped into some shorts and t-shirt.

"Where are we going?"

I asked.

"To the beach."

He said cheekily. I love the beach!

We got in the car and started driving. When we were almost there, we crossed a bridge. I looked out my window at the clear, blue water below. It was beautiful. After we crossed the bridge, we pulled up to the beach. Surprisingly, there weren't that many people there. By noon, we had pretty much the whole beach to ourselves. We spent most of the time walking in the water, and splashing each other. We even built a sand castle. Before I even knew it, the sun was beginning to get low in the sky. Harry and I enjoyed the sunset together. We stayed a little while longer, until it was very dark, and starting to get cold.

"I'm cold."

I whispered to Harry.

"Let's go back to the hotel."

"Ok, Liz."

We headed back to the car and got in. We started driving. When we neared the long bridge, that feeling in the pit if my stomach returned. I tried to blow it off, saying I was being paranoid. But I still couldn't shake that feeling. When we were almost to the end of the bridge, Harry looked at me for a few a seconds. Then, bright headlights shined on our faces. I looked up, to see the car in our lane, heading straight for us. Everything seemed to be in slow motion. I felt the car swerve, and go off the bridge. We hit the water, and the car started to sink. My mind quickly snapped back to reality. I tried to unbuckle my seat belt, but it was no use. It was jammed. Harry tried helping me, but it was no use. I knew he was going to run out of air soon, so I motioned for him to go on without me. He swam to the back of the car, rummaging for something. The pain in my chest from lack of oxygen was becoming unbearable. I finally got to the point where I had to fill my lungs with something, anything. So I filled them with water. Worst mistake of my life. Everything started going black. But just before my vision completely faded, I saw Harry come into view with a worried expression on his face, and a knife in his hand. He began to cut away my belt. Then, darkness.
