Free to Be the One [Book 2 of the Free to Disappear Series] {Complete}

Part 16

I reached the pool and stripped into my swimsuit. I then lowered into the pool. I floated along the surface. The water felt so nice. It was baring it's fangs against my skin and I was letting it. I then turned onto my stomach and dived deep into the water. I then hit the bottom of the pool. I floated, the water grabbing me and wrapping me in it's cold embrace. Maybe I should jut stay like this forever. Down in the water. I looked up to the top of the pool. The air above the water was calling my name, but I ignored it. I then felt my vision start to blur. Maybe this is what is supposed to happen to me. I can die down here for all I care. I then slowly closed my eyes. Everything was my fault, I deserved to die. I'll get to see them soon. I then felt the water enter my lungs. Before I knew it everything was black.

 

I heard a voice in my pit of darkness. "Come back!" It yelled. It was a boys voice. It was faded so I couldn't recognize it. But the next time the person spoke, he was crystal clear. "I know what I want for our promise now." He said. "I want you to stay alive! You'll be going against the rules if you die now!" The voice speaking to me, that voice was Rin. I now know that I had made a big mistake. I saw a light coming from the edge of my pit of darkness. I ran towards it. Every step that I took  the closer the light was becoming. As I was getting closer to the light I felt myself being held back. I looked behind me and saw black shadows latching onto my arms and legs. I struggled to move as the light was getting closer. But I perevered. I needed to stay alive. I put my foot on a spot of light and suddenly all the shadows let go. I ran ahead, soon engulfed by pure light.

   I sat up opening my eyes with a jolt, I coughed up the chlorine filled water from my lungs. "Hibiki!" Rin said, as soon as I was done coughing. I looked over to him and saw his red and puffy eyes, and the salty tears that followed. "R-Rin." I said, hugging him. "I'm so sorry Rin, I shouldn't have yelled at you." I told him. "No, I should be the one that's apologizing. I shouldn't have yelled back." He replied. We then kept hugging. I think that maybe...just for now... I can wait to see my family.
