"Trey!! Wait up!!" I shout at the top of my lungs. "Your slower than my grandma!" He laughs back.
I don't think I have properly introduced myself... My name is Destiny and I am 14 (now!!) I am pretty short compared to my friends (not that I have many). I have long black pitch black hair with some plum purple "peekaboos". My best friend is Trey and he's 15. He's pretty tall and has black hair perfectly matched with the cutest brown eyes! He has been here with me for the longest time, since I was in 3rd grade, AKA when I moved here. Anyhow, today is no ordinary day. "It's my birthday!!" I sing. "It is?" Trey says quietly yet playing around, I could tell because he rubbed his chin and smiled. I turn around and cross my arms across my chest, also playing around. He laughs and picks me up like as if he was cradling me like a baby. I laugh while he's running across the crass over to "our tree". He gently puts me down at the roots of the huge oak tree with a big hug (which I really enjoyed). We would always come to this tree since he showed it to me. If we were ever unhappy, that's where we could be found. One we were both sitting on a branch, I was still giggling a bit. We began talking about the most random stuff. After about 25 minutes of talking it got quiet. It was never this quiet. "So... You might be moving to Miami in a bit huh?" He begins. "Yea... I guess." I finish. A long pause arises. "When will you be back?" His voice cracks in the middle of his question. I honestly didn't even know if I was going to come back. "I'm not sure, my dad and I havn...." I start but he interrupts. "Why is it always, 'my dad'? Why can't you talk to him and tell him what you really want to do??" He says a little bit harsh but calm at the same time. "Trey, it's not that I don't want to leave, but he has a great opportunity he just can't miss." I say with my voice quivering. He stays silent. He breaks the silence, "why don't you stay, I could as my dad and he might be able to get you a small house placed behind mine and you could live there with us?" He has the slightest hint of a smile. "I'll think about it and maybe" I answer. I didn't know about the option, I wanted to stay with my dad because he's the last family member I have left after my mom died in a car accident 6 years ago. "But hey, let's make the best of the time we have now" I say with a smile. He smiles back and stands up. He extends his right hand towards me to help me get up. "Come on, I want to show you something" he says pulling me up with a bit of a rush. We walk into a near by Forrest,we walk for what seemed 15 minutes until we reached a mountain of rocks. I must have had a confused face on because when he turned around he laughed a bit and said, "what I have to show you is in back if the rocks" we walk around the rocks and on the other side is the most beautiful thing, a waterfall. I never new there was a waterfall here. I could see kind of like a ditch near by the small pond. He grabbed my hand in his and we walked closer to get a Better view. As soon as we walk by the ditch I feel something pull me into it. It was surprisingly deep. Trey didn't have a good grip on my hand so I ended up slipping in. I screamed as i fell in. Trey came running in after me. "TREY!!!" I scream as loud as I possibly can. After 5 second I fell into water.... There was water here? Trey soon caught up to me and gave me a hug, "are you okay Des?" "Yea, I'm fine"I reply hugging him tightly after that fright. He laughed, "well this didn't go as planned". "What was the plan" I ask with a smile. "I wanted to show you this place so you had a good memory once you were gone. A memory of this state, of this Forrest, of... Us." He held my hand tighter. I felt my face flourish with heat ness, I the , I got pink. I hot tongue tied and didn't know what to reply. I just stared into his eyes with awe. I couldn't be happier. He leaned closer to me and was so close to giving me a kiss. What stopped him from doing so also almost stopped him from breathing! We were still in the ditch but the water started to rise, and quickly. Waves began to form. We tried desperately to get out but it was no use and it was impossible to swim up with the water. After a while I noticed that trey's foot had gotten caught with some of the rocks. I inhaled a big breath and swam downwards to try and free his foot. "Destiny! Get out, you can still save yourself. I didn't care what he said I still tried with all my might to save him. Since the water got deeper, it took longer to swim downwards, one of those times I inhaled as much air as I could and swam down, I held onto the rocks under water to hold myself down and free his foot, i pulled his foot until I ran out of breath and was ready to swim back up. I lost all my air before starting to swim, that's when I realized... I was able to breath!
