Colby's Pov

Brooke dove under a wave quickly before it crashes, knocking me over. When I break the surface of the water I can hear Brooke laughing. I look at her, she is so beautiful. She notices me staring at her, not saying anything. She blushes and turns away as a wave comes. It crashes on top of her and I quickly duck under water. When I come up I don't see Brooke.
"Brooke?" I call out, looking around and even in the water.
I don't see anything for a while until I see blood spread around on top of the water.

Brooke's Pov

I was having fun until a wave crushed me. As I stay in the water I see something move around me quickly. I try to see better, but all of a sudden whatever it is turns and comes towards me quickly. I instantly realise that it's a shark and I go to swim away, but it was fast enough to bit down hard on my leg. I scream under the water in pain and I start to punch the shark trying to get it off me. It finally lets me go and swims away, retreating. I then swim up to the surface, gasping for arm. Once I make it Colby Grabs me and pulls me away. I scream in pain, tears falling down my face.
"It's okay." Colby says, more to himself though. "You'll be okay."
He finally reaches the shallow part of the water and picks me up, running out of the water and somewhere.
"Brooke!" Jenni screams, "Jake call the ambulance!"
That's all I heard before I went unconscious.

Jenni's Pov

Adrenaline rushed through me as I sprint back into the house, grabbing first aid. I run out in time to see life guards coming. I run to my best friend tears streaming down my face. I pull out everything needed. Colby quickly grabbed something that stopped the blood from leaving, what it was call... I didn't care. I quickly wrap Brooke's leg in badges and when I look at her face I notice that's it's white and her eyes closed.
"Shit." I say, panicking.
I check for breathing and surly enough she's breathing. I grab both of her hand and I squeeze them every now and then.
"Brooke, can you hear me? If so, please give me a responds." I say squeezing her hands lightly. I don't feel her squeeze my hand and I see anything move. I keep squeezing her hands every now and then until the life guards come.
"How long has she been unconscious?" One of them asks.
"Around three minutes now." Colby answer as I allow the life guards to take over.
I stare at Brooke as I finally let everything set in. I feel hands grab my arms and slowly lift me up. I don't stop looking at Brooke though. Everything is silent to me. Everything felt numb. My mind was blank. I wanted to scream, to make sure she was fine, to not be in shock. I wanted to take her pain away. I wanted to take it away so that she wouldn't have to deal with it. If I could I wouldn't care how long I had to stay in the hospital. I don't care if I had to stay for six weeks again. If it meant that she wasn't in pain then I was will to do that. She was the only one I had here.
"Jenni." I finally come to my senses. "Jenni."
I look up into the eyes of Jake, tears in my eyes.
"Jenni..." Jake says, softly.
"Why did it have to happen to her?" I ask, my voice breaking.
Jake pulled me into a hug, rubbing my back soothingly.
"I don't know." Jake says, "but she's being rushed to the hospital right now."
"I need to go with her." I say, pulling away and looking for the ambulance.
"Colby is with her, don't worry." Jake says, holding my hands.
"But I need to be there." I say, starting to walk towards the house for here.
"Jenni, she'll go straight into surgery. There's no point being there early." Jake says following me.
"But-..." I get cut of by Jake pulling me into his arms and his lips falling on mine once again.
He breaks the kiss and holds me.
"You should change." Jake says, pulling away, fixing his hair.
I nod and walk into the house and to my bedroom.

Colby's Pov

I was insane. I wanted to keep Brooke safe, I wanted to be by her side every moment. It was intense being around her, but now... now it was magnified. I want to fix her leg, to take away the pain, to look after her, to tell her it's okay.
"Sorry sir, you can't come with her." A paramedic tells me. "Only family."
"I'm her husband." I say quickly in a pleading voice.
The paramedic apologies and let's me on. As I get in Brooke's eyes open and she looks at me with fear in her eyes.
"Will my leg be amputated?" She asks me.
"Not if I'm there." I says smiling at her.
She smiles at me and closes her eyes clearly going to sleep. I kiss her forehead lightly, holding her hand at the same time. I was going to make sure she would be able to surf again. I am not going to give up on her.
