Rachels POV

I have no clue where I'm running to, I just knew I had to get away as soon as I could. I think I've been running for about 10 minutes now and I was getting tired of it. I've ended up by a small river, I sat down right next to it. I looked down at my phone and saw 36 miss calls from Mike 12 from Dan and also 3 off a unknown number. I still had signal on my phone but I wasn't going to do anything with it so I stuffed it back into my jacket pocket. It was only half 4 so it was still light outside. had nothing to do and I needed to clear my head. So I took off my shoes and socks and walked nearer to the river. I sat down again right on the edge of the river, it was much more deeper than I thought, maybe about 4 foot deep. I didn't know what to do. Before I realized what I was doing half of my body was under the water. I lowered down until my neck was about to go under. Suddenly I heard my name. Someone was shouting my name. I shut my eyes tightly. Trying to make this situation go away fast. The voice got closer and closer until I knew who it was. Mike. I kept my eyes closed and I tried to lower into the water but when I was about to someone grabbed my arm tightly. My eyes shot open and I was faced with clear blue eyes, they looked hurt. Him. I tried to push him off my as he pulled me up and layed me down next to the river. And that was the last thing I could remember before my eyes closed.

Mikes POV 

I never thought this would happen again, it's been almost three years. Me and Niall were searching for 30 minutes we were about to give up and call the police. We were on our way back before I heard water being splashed I thought it was nothing but I had to check. I shouted her name hoping for a response, nothing. Niall looked over at me, his eyes red and puffy from crying. Hot tears were still rolling off my cheeks, how could I let this happen again. If something has happened to her, if she has done something I will never forgive myself. I run faster as I hear more splashes, Niall quickly follows. We came across a river, there was nothing. Well that's what I thought until I saw Niall ran past me and dive into the water. My head spins around and I was faces with my biggest nightmare. I ran over but I was useless. My knees gave way as I fell to the ground. I threw my head in my hands as I saw her eyes were closed, Niall swam over to her as fast as he could. He grabbed her arm and her eyes opened and grew wide. I watched as she struggled to get out of his grip, but he didn't even flinched any time she kicked, punched and slapped him. He pulled her up next to the river she coughed and coughed before her eyes closed once again. Niall's face went pale. I knew what he was thinking.

"Is sh-? Is she d-" He stuttered during the tears flowing out his eyes.

"No mate. Shes had a panic attack and then fainted." I smiled at him and then I looked at Rach. I miss my best friend. The one who wasn't scared. Who didn't have a fear of getting attached to someone. She's still my little Rach though and she is still the sarcastic, cheeky little one. Who gets in trouble for about everything she does. I smiled at the thought as I stroked her cheek.

"How do you know?! Has this happened before?! Why the hell didn't you tell me!" He said starting to raise his voice. 

"I told you Niall. She's changed. A lot can happen in three years. Just remember that ok." I told him before picking up Rach bridal style and started carrying her. "Oh! Niall could you just grab her phone for me please." I asked him pointing to where it is. He nodded wiping a tear off his face. He grabbed the phone and walked up to me. He put his hand out to give it me, but I shook my head at him. He looked confused. "Click on the pictures, that's what she really looks like now Niall." I pointed to a picture of her recently at a party, with her normal makeup on, with a wide smile on her face as she hugged me and Dan from the side. "She's not the same old Rachel Cotton from Mullingar anymore.." I walked off Niall following shortly behind.
