The Promise

Chaper 5: The Betrayal

It was the last day and night I could stay, before I had to leave to go back to college. I was to leave the next morning. He had been working, so I just spent my time playing videogames till he got back. When he did, he was too tired to do anhthing so he just took a nap. Little did I know that back at my apartment my frie ds had become suspicios of my dissappearence. Somehow they had tracked me down to here, and they have spent the whole day spying on me. Normally this would come out to no real consequences other than being chastised for leaving. But that night, everything was much different.

It was ten at night, the end of an uneventful day. I decided as my last day to do some night swimming in the lake. I went out alone in just my bikini. It was quote warm, so I carried my towel under my arm as I walked out onto the dock. Without any hesitaion I jump into the cool water. I swim around a little, then decide to go farther out. There was nobody else out so I saw no harm in it. I was only 20 feet away from the dock when it hit me. A massive cramp seemed to split me in half, and I doubled over in the water, unable to move. I feel myself slowly slipping under the water with no way to come back up. Just when I think that this is my last moment, I feel an arm around my waist as somebody pulls me to the surface. I gasp for breath as I am pulled to the shore. We both lay on the beach breathing hard, and I turn to see Gavin there lying next to me. He rolls untill he is above me, his eyes looking into mine full of past fear and worry and relief. "What were you thinking? You almost died!" He say to me, his, voiced filled with more fear that anger. "I-Im sorry!" I whisper, fully realizing how close I was to death. Without another word he wrapps his arms around me and kisses me, his lips pressed hard against mine. I kiss him back, wrapping my arms aound his neck. Instead of ending, the kiss builds up as the passion increases. After what seems to be an eternity, we break away, gasping for breath. He rolls off of me, and I realize for the fisrt time that we had become entangled. With the sound of blood rushing as my heart beat fast, I was unable to hear the car speeding away with video documentation over everything that had happened.
