It was quiet here. Peaceful. She knew that there were things going on around her — the coach blowing her whistle, the boys practicing their flip turns on the other side of the pool, the girls around her doing their blowouts too. But they all felt far away down here.

Everywhere else in the world, she felt like she was drowning. And yet when she sank to the bottom of the pool her mind was blank, content. Submerged seemed to be the only place where she could truly breathe.

There'd only been one other time and place she felt like this.

"Come on, I want my little slut to come, I want to see you come so bad."

Her feet hit the bottom of the pool, hit the earth. That's right. She couldn't stay down here. She had to go back to the world, to the noise.

She buckled her knees and pushed herself back up towards the surface.
