26. Angry Brother

Riya's POV

I was standing right by the edge of the river trying to find something between the rocks but I couldn't find anything.

"Why is there nothing here?" I asked myself as I bent down closely inspecting my surroundings.

"Wait, what's that?" I thought aloud.

I put one foot onto one of the rocks and lowered myself into the river without actually getting into the water. I saw something white sticking out of one of the rocks. I bent down to get it. Problem was, my right foot wasn't in the river so I was struggling.

"I'm so close to it!" I exclaimed to myself.

"What are you doing?!" A familiar voice exclaimed.

It took me by surprise as I shrieked and fell into the water. The bad thing is that... I can't swim.

"DALLY!!!" I screamed furiously at my older brother.

"S.hit!" He exclaimed.

I have a little bit of knowledge on swimming so I could have been able to keep myself up at the surface, but because my body is so weak I had no strength to do anything.

"D-DALLY!!!" I exclaimed as I went underwater.

I could see his legs swimming towards me but then I passed out.

Dally's POV

"S.hit!!" I exclaimed as she fell into the water.

"DAL!!" Johnny screamed from behind.

"QUICK DALLAS!!" Pony cried.

"I'm goin', I'm goin'!" I replied.

Without hesitating I took my shirt off and jumped into the water. I swam as fast as I could but she was kinda far away.

"D-DALLY!!!" I heard her scream as she sunk into the water.

"Oh, god no." I muttered.

I could see her body sinking. No, no, no, no, no. I got closer and closer and caught hold of her arm. I pulled her up and held onto her as I swam up to the surface.

"John, hold onto her!" I exclaimed as I held her body out to him. He climbed onto the rocks and held her. I took a minute to catch my breath.

"Is she alive?" I asked done with her bu.llshit.

"Well she's unconscious," Johnny started.

"But I feel a heartbeat." Pony finished.

"Do some CPR crap or whatever." I waved my hand. She needs to stay in line.

"What the hell Dal, do you not even care-"

"Just do it, man." I interrupted.

A few minutes later I heard her take a deep breath and sit up.

Riya's POV

As soon as I regained consciousness I took a deep breath and sat up.

"No one kissed me, right?" I asked breathing heavily.

"You don't wanna kiss us?" Johnny asked.

"I'm saving it for someone." I muttered.

"Quit your yappin'. What were you doing here?" Dal asked annoyed.

"I was trying to find something!" I exclaimed.
