Jack Barakat Imagines

The Beach

Hey :) So since I really love your blog, I thought I could request a Jack Barakat imagine where he is walking alone on a beach and he sees someone drowning in the sea. He immediately swims there and saves you in time. Then back at the beach you wake up in his arms and you experience love at the first sight :) If you feel like writing this sometime maybe you could add his pov too :) Thank you in advance and hopefully you want to do this :)

AN I told you guys I'd do a double update tonight! I'm thinking about always doing one since I have so many requests to do. Also I keep missing days because I'm a lame person. I am sorry about that. But I'm doing them now so we're good! This is the cutest thing ever I'm actually really proud of it. Thanks so much for your guys' patience, I love you all. If I haven't gotten to you yet, I'll get to you soon okay? There's no conversation for this one. Love you guys, hope you enjoy it xx

Jack's POV

Walking along a beach alone has some good qualities to it. It may get boring at times, but the view is beautiful, the birds are calm, and the sound of the ocean is what I live for. I come here sometimes to clear my head. Sometimes I come here to lose myself. That's exactly what I needed after that bitch told me off. I can't think about her now, though. I'm in my happy place. That's what I need.

I was torn out of my thoughts by a scream. My head jerked up and I looked around. I had been focusing so intently on my feet in the sand that I didn't even know there were people around. Who goes swimming at dusk? I looked around for any sign of a lifeguard, but it's public and open to anyone. They don't have the money for a lifeguard on duty 24/7. My mind told me to leave the voice alone, they probably just screamed out of happiness. Probably playing with their friends or something.

But then I heard it. "Help!" it called. I abandoned my walk and dived into the water swimming towards the voice. I didn't have time to be thinking about my clothes or anything else. Good thing I left my shoes in the car.

I swam as fast and hard as I could. How could I live with myself if I heard a voice scream for help and then they died without me getting there in time? I knew I was lying to myself. This wasn't about me helping myself not be guilty. I genuinely wanted to help this person.

They were really far out. And not 70's far out. Far out into the water. It took me a long time to get where they were, and I hope to god that they haven't died. I swam out and reached the person. It was a girl. She was waving her arms and she started to sink tiredly when I got to her.

I pulled her by the waist, hoisting her up over me and started my journey back. My mind wasn't thinking about the marine life that could kill me right now. All that I could focus on was this stranger pressed against me. She was cold, and I knew that I had to help her.

We made it to the shore and I set her down on sand. Her face was dirty and her eyes were closed. Did she give up? I started to panic. She better not have fucking died. I put my ear to her chest to see if I could hear a heartbeat. I heard one, so I knew she wasn't gone. I racked my brain to try and remember the CPR class we were all forced to take in eighth grade.

I put my hands together at the sternum of her chest and pushed to the beat I was supposed to. My mouth found hers, as I plugged her nose and blew my air into her. She didn't breathe, so I tried again. And again. Until she coughed up sea water and leaned to the side so she could throw up correctly.

The only thing in my mind that was happening right now was Damn, this girl is beautiful.

Your POV

Swimming at dusk was not a very good idea. I just had the feeling of wanting to go swim, but no one would go with me. So I decided to go alone. Worst mistake of my life.
