The air turned black around me. I scrabbled through the thickness that surrounded me. I felt my lungs burning, desperate for the air above.

Why? Why did I have to take Chelsea up on that Dare? Just after I accepted the challenge did I remember the fact... I can't swim!

So now I'm drowning in the ocean, after jumping off the Pier. That's going to be great on my Gravestone: Tara William- Died 1 meter from Pier at the age of  15.

By now my vision was encased in spots of darkness. Oh! How much I wished I had learnt to swim!

By now, Chelsea would have called an ambulance, or maybe the fire department... Maybe that one cute lifeguard even. What was his name? 

The A Black void left me numb and lifeless.
