Ian looked over at me, the sun reflecting light from his eyes that were as blue as the ocean before us. He smiled showing his white teeth and I smiled back showing mine. With a rumble of an engine and a sly grin the fun has begun.

We raced around in the vast ocean yelling profanity and going so close to one another that we'd splash salty water into each others faces. The bright sun, almost too soon, had begun to set and the fun had to end soon. The water was now reflecting warm orange rays from the setting sun.

"Ian look!" I shouted, there was a group of dolphin in the distace against the beautiful sky.

"Wow! That's amazing." We were stairing until they dissapeared.

"Let's try something." I suggested and Ian tilted his head. "Ride next to me and I want to try and jump onto your Jet ski, trust me it'll be awesome!" He nodded and we went.

I jumped and missed almost a million times and Ian was laughing at all my failed attempts. It's not easy and I have very poor timeing. I finally got it and we shouted joyfully and highfived jumping into the ocean not caring about what was below us.

"I think we should get back to the boat, it's getting late." Ian said and I agreed.

We pulled out Jet Skis back onto the boat and sat on deck. The sky had turned black reveiling the stars, I lay down on the deck and Ian joined me. Eventually my eyes grew heavy and I fell asleep.

"ANTHONY!" I woke up to Ian shaking me, his eyes filled with fear.

"Wha... What's going on?" I hadn't relized that we fell asleep on deck.

"There's a storm, we have to get back to shore. NOW!" I shot up and looked around. The waves were rising and falling at a fast pace and the wind was blowing violently. Thunder was booming and it started to pour rain I could hardly see Ian at the wheel.

"It's not starting, Anthony, the boat wont start!" He was twisting the keys and shaking, he started to hit the wheel.

"Do.... don't worry, we'll be fine. Let's just... wait it out. Yeah, we can make it through this, it's going to be alright." Ian nodded and rushed for the bags to keep them relativly dry. Ian's bowl haircut was stuck to his face and I am sure my hair is the same. We are soaked.

It had been over an hour and the storm has only gotten worse. Ian and I had to huddle together for warmth and he was shaking more than the boat was, I heard him sniffle and I knew he was crying.

"Shhhh, Ian it'll be okay. Shh." I stroked his hair, I guess this could make up for what happened back at the boat rental. I really hope everything will be fine. We can't risk using the Jet Skis because we would be flung off on the rough water.

The boat tilted and flipped.

I lost my grip on Ian.

Water started to fill my vision and my mouth was salty.

Shit.

Where is he? I need to get to him before it's too late.

"IAN WHERE ARE YO-" I went under but came back up.

"ANT? WHERE ARE YOU?" Ian shouted back, I don't think he's in the water. I looked around quickly and struggled to stay above the water. I heard a splash, had he fallen in? Wait, I'm not above water. I can't breath. I can't see. Where are you Ian? I started to move my arms to get out of the water and fought the current and splashing waves. I felt something around my waist and broke the surface of the ocean and looked over at the one beside me, it's Ian. He hadn't fallen in, he jumped in to save me. I was drowning.

He pushed me up onto the flipped boat and I helped him on as well.

"LOOK!" Ian jumped up with a bright glint in his eyes and a wide smile. "It's land, we're safe!" He lay down on his stomach and began to paddle fighting the waves and I did the same. We paddled and my arms screamed for rest and my body ached, but we made it.

We hauled the boat onto the sandy baren beach and I collapsed. I heard Ian cheer and yell at the ocean. But I was soon taken away by sleep.
