Lost Yet Found

Chapter 45 - The Date

here's an update folks, I hope you've been enjoying these latest chapters, :). sry I didn't update sooner, I hit a tiny bit of writers block but I pushed through it and wrote this chater :). love you guys always.

I walked out to the back porch and said "Nick this place is so beautiful," he replied "not as beautiful as your are Dem," I blushed and turned around to see Nick holding a rose, I smiled as he handed it to me and replied "thank you." As I took the rose from him and said "so it's almost 6:30, do you want to eat dinner?," Nick nodded and grabbed the basket, he began to set the contents of the basket on the table. 

I went inside and got plates and silverware, I walked outside again and Nick was standing behind a chair, he pulled it away from the table and said "you should sit down my lady," as he gave a small bow. I rolled my eyes replying "you dork," Nick just shrugged and said "true," I laughed as Nick sat down and said "shall we start eating?," I nodded replying "yes we shall."

When Nick and I finished eating, Nick took the dishes inside and began to wash them he told me that he wanted to do it for me, so I had got up and walked down to the beach, I took off my shoes. I walked along the edge of the water, allowing my feet to get wet, I smiled when I heard footsteps running toward me, I turn around to say something and quickly close my mouth and turn around and run as fast as I can.

I can't let him catch me, I hear Nick yell "don't stop running Dem," I rolled my eyes why would I want to, there's a man trying to kill me chasing me, suddenly there's sharp pain in my right leg as something grazes across the side of my leg. I look down and see I'm bleeding from a gash on my leg, probably grazed by a bullet, which means he has a gun, f**k, I continue to run along the beach the person keeps firing at me but it's hard to shoot someone when your running apparently because he keeps missing.

I suddenly get an idea, I dive into the ocean the salt water making the wound on my leg burn,  I swim under the water to the bottom, staying under I keep swimming until I can't touch the sandy bottom, I need air but I can't go to the surface. The person who's been chasing me will shoot me the moment I break the surface, I start to get light headed from the lack of oxygen, my lungs are screaming for air, but I refuse to go to the surface. 

I grab a large rock from the bottom and hold it weakly to my chest, my vision begins to become spotted, I think I hear Nick screaming my name but his voice is muffled by the water, I stay under fighting my instincts that are telling me to get to the surface before I black out. I try to hang for as long as I possibly can, but I can't anymore, I let the blackness take over my vision, and the air I was holding escapes me as I black out.

{Nick's P.O.V.} 

I sneak up behind the man pointing a gun at the water waiting for Demi to surface, I hit him under the chin, so his head snaps up, knocking him out, I take off my belt and tie his hands together. That way if he wakes up he can't shoot anyone,  I scream Demi's name and say "he's blacked out you can surface now," but she doesn't which makes me fear that she's black out from lack of oxygen. Or she's just refusing to surface because she can't hear me, either way I dive into the water, I can only see less than a foot infront of me, I swim in the direction I assume Demi went in. 

Which would probably be straight out, so she can't touch the bottom, I break the surface, and take a gasp of air and look around I suddenly spot what looks like a person's back breaking the surface. I swim over and find out it's only a log, I go under and swim back and forth trying to find her, suddenly something soft, like hair, brushes against my feet, I swim deeper and turn around, it's Demi's long brownish gold hair. 

I reach out and try to find her shoulders, I eventually just wrapped my arms around her waist and brang her to the surface, I swim to shore,trying to keep Demi's head above the water. I drag her onto the shore and put my head on her chest her, hearts barely beating, and she's not breathing, water mut of filled her lungs. I roll her onto her side, and sea water begins to trickle out of her mouth.

I wrap my arms around her and give her the heimlich trying to get  her to cough up the water in her lungs, trying to get her to breathe, I lay her back down on her back and give her CPR, for about five minutes before I give up. I sit down next to her and say "Demi I'm sorry I couldn't of found you sooner, I'm sorry I left you alone outside, I'm sorry that you've died," suddenly, Demi started to cough weakly. 

I helped her onto her side, as she coughed up all the water that was in her lungs, she then leaned back and said "where's the guy who tried to kill me," weakly, I looked around replying "he must of run off while I was searching for you underwater." Demi nodded as a reply and I said "you scared the crap out of me, I thought you were dead," Demi gave a weak laugh replying "so did I."

I stood up and helped her up, but she collapsed onto me, I said "okay, I'll just carry you, to the beach house," I picked her up, she rested her head on my chest as I carried her back to the beach house. Once there I opened the door and put her down, and looked around once I was sure that we were the only ones in the beach house,  I picked Demi up and carried her into the bathroom. I questioned "Dem, you want me to go wash your clothes while, you take a shower," she nodded and plugged the drain of the bathtub and turned on the faucet, I walked out of the room as she took off her shirt.
