Chapter 91

Saving him I stared desperately at the surface of the water, swallowing my tears. I kept glancing at Chris; he was composed at first but became more restless by the second. He held his hand on my shoulder as if he was saying that Aren would be all right, but he couldn’t know that. It was unimaginably dark under the surface of the water, and the currents were unpredictable. Down there, Max wasn’t Aren’s only opponent; he needed to fight the forces of nature as well.

“Aren…” I wept quietly, my hot and salty tears falling down to the bay waters. Chris cleared his throat. “He’ll be all right. He is an excellent swimmer.” He didn’t sound convinced at all. I guess he wanted to reassure himself just as much as he wished to bring me comfort.

A few minutes passed, Jack joined us, and finally, Chris admitted that it was time to call for a rescue mission. I sat in the same place, numbly watching the divers go under the water while the lifeguards swam in boats, flashing lights at every corner. “This cannot be happening,” I muttered, petrified by the thought that I could suddenly hear that someone had found Aren’s body.

It was a nightmare. I still felt his touch on my skin, the warmth of his body against mine. He couldn’t have died.

I stood up, driven by some wild, unexplainable force, and shouted, “This is unacceptable! You cannot die! I won’t allow you to die! Do you hear me?!” My voice cracked at the last note as I stumbled, exhausted by my cry.

Jack rushed to grab me by my shoulders before I fell. I hated being so weak. I hated the fact that I was so useless, but most of all, I hated the fact that he wasn’t there with me. “I haven’t even told him…” I mumbled breathlessly.

“You will tell him everything once we get him back,” Jack said, rubbing my cold, stiff arms.” Besides, I’m sure that whatever you wish to tell him, he already knows.” ;

“No… I’ve never told him the way I feel about him…” I murmured, my voice

not, but I didn’t care. I only knew that I would have shouted from the rooftops that I loved him if I had come back to

stop. I was so terrified, wondering if he was alive or not, that all sounds got stuck in my throat. “How is he?” Jack asked instead of me, his grip on my arms tightening protectively as he most likely thought that I might collapse after hearing the news. “Something hit his head and he is badly bleeding, but he is alive.” The lifeguards’ boat came closer,

The paramedics said that his condition was stable, although he remained unconscious from the moment he landed on the boat. The wound on his head had been treated, but it wasn’t clear whether the injury had caused more than superficial
