Chapter 30 ~ Sinking
Chapter 30 - Sinking
ATHENA
I've read so many articles about drowning, but no one has ever given it justice.
No one ever explained what it really feels like.
They wrote about the silence, the stillness-but not the agony.
No one
warned us how the cold water would punch the air from your lungs the second you hit the surface.
The first thought that comes to my mind is that i can't swim.
I open my mouth to scream, but all I taste is water.
Panic explodes in my chest. I thrash wildly-arms flailing, legs kicking-
but the dress clings to my skin like a vice, dragging me
down. My hair fans out around me, floating like a dark halo as I sink deeper.
The muffled sounds of the party above me fade. With how loud the music is, no one will find me.
If only Alex would change his mind and look back, turn to look for me. Maybe I'll get a chance to live.
But every second that passes is a cruel reminder.
He's with Leah.
He won't notice.
No one will see me.
My lungs burn, a searing pain
growing with every second. The need to breathe becomes unbearable-
an animalistic instinct
overriding everything-until my body convulses, demanding air.
But there is none.
My ribs contract painfully, as if
trying to wring out the water filling my lungs. It hurts-God, it hurts more than I thought
possible.
I fight.
I claw at nothing, kicking harder-harder-
until my limbs grow heavy, sluggish. The pool lights blur, growing
dim as the weight
of my body pulls me down.
This is the second time I've fallen this month.
Was it the alcohol? Did I slip?
Or... was I pushed?
