River
I waited in my car patiently for Emily to get her butt out here. We planned on going to a fine hotel near the beach at Birmingham , as it was the middle of summer and me and Emily has been doing this for years now with Jessica and Ally. I looked to see Emily struggling with her suitcase and her handbag out the door, I giggled and got out the car to help her.
"Oh Emily , I told you to get all your things ready last night" I shook my head knowing she leave everything to the last minute. "Yeah I know, I just wasn't exactly bothered" she looked at the ground not wanting to make eye contact. "It's alright, come on lets go. Jessica and Ally are probably there." I walked to my car fitting her suit case on the backseat.
"We should play I spy with my little eye!" Emily screamed happily. Me and Emily go way back, We used to live in the same neighbourhood and attended the same primary and high school together we was bestfriends and always used to have sleepover even though we lived on the same street. We met Jessica and Ally along the way , we all worked on the same floor at the shopping centre in our area down in London.
"Yeah , we should. Do you want to start?" I giggled remembering this game. "Yeah, I spy with my little eye... Something beginning with.. P" she stretched out beginning while she stuck her tongue out thinking. "Uhmm.." I looked around whilst driving thinking what it could be "Petrol Station?" I guessed.
"No" she smiled .
The game carried until we finally got to the hotel. It was still the same as last year so nothing really changed. "Oh I was right, Jessica and Ally are already here." I saw their cars parked. I glared at Emily who did a stupid cheeky smile "Sorry?" she questioned.
"Hey , look at that hot stuff behind you" Emily pointed behind me, I turned slowly to see a tall toned tan guy around the age 24 , maybe more or less. He wore swimming trunks and had a kind of big tattoo on the middle where his chest meets his stomach and a couple near his shoulder and down. He wore sunglasses so it was really hard to see his face. His was very attractive.
"If I could , I would" Emily said more to herself .
I turn to face her. "Let's go and get our room keys" I said cutting her out if her little daydream.
We entered the hotel and got our room key , our rooms was all on the same floor , 2nd floor. Me and Emily would share a room whereas Jessica and Ally would to. Me and Emily entered the lovely room.
"I get the bed" I yelled running then jumping towards the bed.
"That's not fair River. You got the bed last year and the year before" Emily groaned .
"Ok , I will take the sofa bed thing" I pointed at the sofa bed. I got up and sat on the sofa.
"Thanks a million Riv" she giggled like a school girl before running towards the bed.
We spent a whole hour unpacking our clothes and watching telly or on our phones. Someone knocked about 3 times.
"It's probably Jess or Al or maybe both" Emily said while staring intensely at her phone.
"Thanks for the heads up" I said sarcastically as I stuck 2 thumbs up at her.
I open the door to see both Ally and Jessica grinning widely at me. "You two come and get your bikinis on . There are loads of fit guys out at the beach" Jessica giggled as she spoke in a rush. I heard noise behind me to see Emily getting ready as fast as she can , I laughed at the site, knowing Emily she was the laziest girl I ever met and seeing her like this is very rare. I felt myself quickly panicking , remembering I haven't swim in a long time , but I can't really let the girls down again.
"Hold up a sec. Let me just get my bikini on" I hurriedly ran to get my swim suit.
"Are you sure about this Riv." Emily whispered. "Of course." I smiled.

The sun was perfectly beaming down on me while I laid in my towel." Are you positive ?" Emily asked for gazillions time.
"I'm positive Ems, just go swim. I will be alright." I smiled sweetly.
She seemed unsure but she went to the water. I sat up watching Emily , Jessica and Ally playing with a beach ball.
I walked slowly to the water , the sand felt lovely between my toes. I got into the cold water and shivered . I stood further into the water finally reaching my hips. I swam even further , I couldn't feel the sand anymore. I pushed myself further into the water until I got a cramp. "Fuck" I screamed unable to swim back. I tried but I couldn't. I slowly felt myself sinking deeply into the water.
Max
"Fuck" someone shouted behind me. I turn to see a golden headed girl trying to breathe. I swan towards quickly grabbing her.
