“What the-” Joshua was shaking his head to wake himself up. “What’s all the noise.”

“Help!” screamed someone.

Joshua got up quickly from the sofa. “Someone is in trouble,” said Joshua. He stood up and grabbed his jacket. He ran out the door. “Is it Emily?” he thought. He looked around to where the scream was coming from. “She’s so clumsy and careless at times. I hope she’s okay. I hope she’s fine. Oh god, I hope it’s not her,” he panicked.

“Someone help!” shouted the voice. The person was on a tube, drifting down the current of the lake.

    Joshua let out a small joyous laughter and closed his eyes and fell asleep. Emily turned her head to look at him. She thought, “Was he really dreaming?” Joshua was sleeping quietly in front of her. She brushed his hair off of his face. She watched as he was sleeping so peacefully.

Last year during this time Joshua saved her from drowning. How she wished he didn’t. Maybe if he didn’t, she wouldn’t have hurt so much as she is today. Her legs edge her into the deeper end of the water. Joshua, seeing Emily going into the water, panicked. She can’t swim. “Oh, what if she is trying to commit suicide. Is she trying to take herself out by drowning?” he questioned. His heart races as he thought of seeing her lifeless body floating in the water. Fear gripped his heart.

She love that little growth inside of her as much as she loves him. She wouldn’t do anything to make the both of them regret. That is especially him. Then he thought back to what Emily said to him before he left. “Oh no, is she really going to make me live a life of regret?” he thought. “What happened?” asked Jack. “What do you mean what happened?” questioned Joshua, wanting to punch the shit out of this man. “Emily was so happy this morning that she was going t
