"Mom!! Dad!! Wake up! Wake up! We're sinking we need to get out! Please! Wake up!"
I desperately shook them.
"The water is rising too fast! We have to get out! Please mom! Dad!"
I kept shaking them.
"I don't want to die! I don't want us to die! Please! No!! Why won't you wake up!"
I shook them for what felt like forever and it was no use, they weren't waking up. I started crying and shaking uncontrollably because of how freezing the water felt on my skin plus I had no fucking idea how to save myself or my parents in a situation like this.
My seatbelt wasn't unbuckling, my doors wouldn't open, my parents weren't waking up and the water was filling up our car faster than I could yell for help.
I was going to die. I was going to die and so were my parents. They weren't waking up, I couldn't move and it was pretty clear now that no one was coming to rescue us.
I have never felt as completely useless as I do in this exact moment.. stuck and surrounded by what I would describe as pure silence.
Is this really it? Is this really happening to us? Are we really going to die?
Suddenly, the freezing water reached my head level and I couldn't hold out any more, so I inhaled a deep breath of oxygen and went under water. No matter how much my chest hurt from the water pressure, I tried holding on for dear life, but seeing my unconscious parents in front of me broke my heart.
My tears mixing with the lake water around me. I began hopelessly shaking them again but this time we were completely submerged underwater.
As I was shaking them repeatedly, the pressure on my chest became way too much to the point where my body acted out of complete reflex and I opened my mouth. Then in came the water flow instead of oxygen. My body started to twitch and my hands softly removed themselves from my parents' shoulders as I kept uncontrollably inhaling the cold lake water. I felt my self start to float even though I was stuck sitting and then.. all I heard was silence and all that I saw was darkness.
I slipped away from consciousness and fell into a dark.. abyss..

Buckle up besties, this will be a long emotional drama-filled rollercoaster.
