Anelโ€™s POV?

โ€œNow baby girl,letโ€™s go get our necklacesโ€ He shouted carrying me high in his arms.

Yaaaaay!!!

He ran back to our cabin,still holding me in his arms.
I chuckled happily and played with his hair.

โ€œFelia is goneeeโ€ I screamed in the air.
โ€œAnel,i canโ€™t believe we did itโ€ Dan laughed.

I closed my eyes and allowed the breeze lift my hair as Dan carried me away.
I was over joyous and i couldnโ€™t stop screaming.

โ€œLessen your voice Anel, weโ€™ve gotten to your cabinโ€ He said.
โ€œHuh?โ€ I opened my eyes and realized weโ€™re truly in front of my cabin.
I smiled and expected him to drop me but he didnโ€™t.

โ€œIs your hands not hurting?โ€ I asked and he grinned.
โ€œYou can drop me nowโ€ I said even though i want to remain in his arms forever.
โ€œNo,i donโ€™t wanna drop youโ€ He said.

โ€œOh..myโ€ my mouth widened when i saw that he was grabbing my butt!
He has been grabbing my butt all this while!
Damn!

โ€œDan,youโ€™re grabbing my butt!โ€ I screamed.
โ€œYeah i knowโ€ He smiled.
โ€œWhat!โ€
โ€œYou can fart in my hands,i wonโ€™t mindโ€ He grinned.
โ€œOMG!โ€ My cheeks turned pink in embarrassment.

โ€œNaughty jerk, Let go of me!โ€
He laughed โ€œI wonโ€™t!โ€
โ€œComโ€™on Dan! Let go of me and whyโ€™s your grip on my butt is getting more tight!โ€
โ€œYouโ€™re the one making me grip it more tightโ€ He said.

Darn it!
I canโ€™t believe Iโ€™m letting Dan touch my butt!
My sacred butt!!

I forcefully removed myself from his grip and then dropped to my feet.

โ€œAhh!โ€ I sighed before hitting his forehead hard.
โ€œOuchโ€ He frowned.
โ€œHow dare you touch my butt! And you didnโ€™t only touched it,you grabbed it!โ€ I said, trying to sound mean.

โ€œI had to grab it so you wonโ€™t fall off while i was runningโ€ He said still rubbing his forehead with a fake frown.
โ€œYou didnโ€™t see any other thing to grab except my butt!โ€ I said,still looking embarrassed.
โ€œYeah,your legs are too tiny. Your butts were the only thing i could grabโ€ He said trying to stifle his laughter.
โ€œNaughty ass!โ€ I said with a forced frown but ended up laughing,he let out his laughter too.

โ€œStop laughing..actually its not funnyโ€ I rolled my eyes.
โ€œIโ€™m sorryโ€ He said still laughing.
โ€œI canโ€™t believe you..you grabbed my..โ€
โ€œHey Asanelโ€ I heard and turned to see Ashlyn.

โ€œHi Ashlynโ€ I smiled.
โ€œWhere have you both been?โ€ She asked.
โ€œUhmโ€ฆthe lakeโ€ I said.
โ€œOhh!โ€ She sighed.

โ€œIs Theresa in?โ€ I asked.
โ€œNo,we were taking a stroll but i got tired and decided to come back to the cabinโ€ She said.
โ€œIโ€™m tired too,letโ€™s go inโ€ I said and grabbed her hand.
โ€œBye Danโ€ She said and we both turned to leave.

โ€œMind you,they are very softโ€ Dan shouted after me.
I sighed and stopped walking.
โ€œWhat is he talking about? Did you gave him anything softโ€ Ashlyn asked.

โ€œAhhh!โ€ I growled and turned back.
He was already running off,i blew a deep breath before giving him a hot chase.

**

I yawned and open my eyes..I guess my nap is over.
I turned in bed,before sitting up.
We didnโ€™t even get to celebrate Feliaโ€™s departure properly.
Dan spoilt everything by touching my sacred butt!

โ€œIs Theresa not back yet?โ€ I asked Ashlyn who was busy with her phone.
โ€œSheโ€™s with Daveโ€ She whispered to me and i smiled.
โ€œWhere?โ€ I asked back in a whisper.
โ€œOutside our cabinโ€ She whispered.

โ€œLetโ€™s go peepโ€ I giggled and we both stoop up and walked to the door.
Ashlyn opened it quietly and we both stuck out our heads.

Theresa was blushing terribly, smiling and nodding at every word Dave said.
Ashlyn and i glanced at each other before bursting into laughter.
Theresa glanced in our direction and we quickly brought in our heads before shutting the door .

We both fell on the floor, laughing hard.

โ€œTheresa is obviously in love with Daveโ€ I said.
โ€œOf course she isโ€ Ashlyn said.
โ€œSeems he like her tooโ€ I said.
โ€œHe does. Iโ€™ve studied himโ€ Ashlyn said.
โ€œItโ€™s so good to be loveโ€ Ashlyn said dreamily.
โ€œAre you in love?โ€ I asked.

โ€œNo, though Iโ€™m crushing on few guys in our class, Dan inclusiveโ€ She said and my heart skipped a beat.
She laughed. โ€œComโ€™on Anel,i was crushing on Dan and i wonโ€™t deny it just because youโ€™re my friend but trust me itโ€™s all over nowโ€ She said.
โ€œAh!โ€ I sighed in relief and wondered why i didm

โ€œDan is the most handsome guy in school and almost all the girls want himโ€ She said.
โ€œYeahโ€ I nodded.
โ€œSo tell me,are you in love?โ€ She asked.
โ€œNoโ€ I said.
โ€œYou are,stop trying to deny itโ€ She said.
โ€œIโ€™m notโ€ I said.
โ€œThank goodness,that means Iโ€™m free to have himโ€ she smiled.

โ€œWhat! No,you canโ€™t have himโ€ I said and she started laughing.
โ€œI thought you are not in love?โ€
โ€œHuhโ€ I said and blew my hair from my face.
โ€œI gat you, you love Danโ€ She laughed.

Yeah i do!
And i shouldnโ€™t.

The door opened and Theresa walked in, looking more happy than ever,her cheeks glowed and she held her chest while she slowly walked to her bed.
She sat down,still holding her chest, i guess her heart is beating fast.

Ashlyn and i glanced at each other before glancing back at Theresa.

Ashlyn cleared her throat..
โ€œAre you that blinded by love that you didnโ€™t even notice your friendsโ€ She said.
โ€œIโ€™m sorryโ€ Theresa smiled.
โ€œYou love Dave that much?โ€ i asked.
โ€œYeah,i do. I love him so much,he has been my crush since grade 6 and he had never noticed me until recentlyโ€ she said happily.

โ€œWow,like seriously?โ€ I asked and she nodded.
โ€œOMG!โ€ Ashlyn exclaimed.

โ€œSo,what was he telling you?โ€ She asked.
โ€œHe was telling me more about himself and i think he likes me tooโ€ She screamed happily, jumping on her bed.

โ€œWowโ€ I smiled.
โ€œIโ€™m glad youโ€™re happyโ€ Ashlyn said.
โ€œThanks girlsโ€ She giggled.

?Hey Miss butty,Iโ€™m outside your cabin.
?Danโ€

โ€œAh!โ€ I groaned as Danโ€™s message popped on my screen .

โ€œGirls, Iโ€™ll be right backโ€ I said and stood up .
โ€œGoing to meet Dan?โ€ Ashlyn asked.
โ€œYeahโ€ I nodded.

I walked out of my cabin and closed the door.
I twitched my nose when i saw Dan standing, holding a pack of juice and two glass cups.

โ€œMiss buttyโ€ He smiled.
โ€œI hope you donโ€™t mind if i smash those glass cups on your headโ€ I said.
โ€œArrgh! So meanโ€ He pouted.

I grabbed one glass cup and smiled.
โ€œLetโ€™s go celebrate the departure of Feliaโ€ I said happily and started running to the direction of the lake.
โ€œYaaayโ€ He shouted after me.
~
I stopped running and turned but couldnโ€™t find Dan behind me.
I heard his footsteps just now.
โ€œIโ€™m right hereโ€ He said startling the day living out of me.
The glass cup dropped from my hand and shattered into pieces.

Gosh!

โ€œYou startled meโ€ I said.
โ€œIโ€™m sorry but i was right beside youโ€ He said.
โ€œI actually thought you were behind me,i didnโ€™t know when you got beside meโ€ I said.
โ€œIโ€™m a fast runnerโ€ He grinned.

โ€œNow the glass cup is brokenโ€ I said.
โ€œThen, weโ€™ll have to share this oneโ€ He winked.
โ€œThose cooks will feel pissed about itโ€ I said.
โ€œIโ€™m gonna pay them for it.. comโ€™on letโ€™s go celebrateโ€ He smiled and started running to the lake.

โ€œArenโ€™t we gonna pack this?โ€ I asked running after him.

**

โ€œI canโ€™t believe we defeated her so easily,are you sure sheโ€™s really gone?โ€ I asked Dan who was sipping the juice.
We were seated by the edge of the lake,our legs dipped into the cool water.
โ€œOf course sheโ€™s goneโ€ฆwe showed her how powerful we areโ€ He smiled proudly.

โ€œYeah we didโ€ I smiled and collected the glass cup of juice from him.
I emptied the glass cup and dropped the cup.

โ€œYou just indirectly kissed meโ€ He said.
โ€œNah! I think Kisses are not kisses unless lips touchโ€ I said.
โ€œWow! Where did you learn that from?โ€ He asked.
โ€œI read books you knowโ€ I smiled.
โ€œSo..should our lips touch?โ€ He asked and my cheeks grew hot.

โ€œUh..Noโ€ I said and could read the disappointment on his face.
โ€œIโ€™m sorryโ€ I said.
โ€œAnelโ€ He called.
โ€œHuh?โ€
โ€œDonโ€™t you like me at all..i mean, donโ€™t you love me? Donโ€™t you have any feelings for me?โ€ He asked and my heart pumped twice.

โ€œI..i donโ€™t have any feeling for you,i donโ€™t love you Danโ€ I said and felt like hitting myself.
โ€œOh..fineโ€ He smiled painfully.
The hurt in his eyes was so obvious and i felt so bad that i nearly cried.
He picked the juice and the glass cup and then stood up.
โ€œDan, where are you going to?โ€ I asked and my heart broke the moment tears dropped from his eyes.
He started walking away..

โ€œDanโ€ I called but he didnโ€™t respond,he kept walking.
I sighed and stood up.
โ€œDanโ€ I called, running after him.
โ€œDan,just wait pleaseโ€ I said, trying to hold my tears.

โ€œAhh!โ€ I shouted in pain when i felt a sharp object tear my feet.
I tightened my fist, trying to take in the pain.
I should have packed the broken glass cup earlier.

I saw dan turned and running back to me, looking so worried.
He glanced at my feet and then at my face.
โ€œIโ€™m sorryโ€ He said,not sounding like the Dan that was with me minutes ago.
His voice sounded more deep and emotional, his eyes were not bright as they used to be and he was wearing a totally different look.

โ€œItโ€™s fineโ€ I said still trying to hold my tears.

He wonโ€™t talk to me again..

โ€œOkay,can you walk with that feet?โ€ He asked.
โ€œYeahโ€ I said.
โ€œOkayโ€ He said.
I started limping away in tearsโ€ฆ normally Dan would have offered to carry me but i guess everything changed already..

Why canโ€™t i tell him that i love him too!

โ€œAnelโ€ He called and i stopped limping,i couldnโ€™t turn.
I quickly wiped my tears when i heard his footsteps.

โ€œGet on my backโ€ He said, crouching in front of me.
โ€œI can walk myโ€ฆโ€ I was saying but he cut me off by carrying me in his arms, Bridal style.
โ€œThank youโ€ I muttered, hating the tension between us.

He nodded and started walking.
My gaze was rested on his face all the while and i felt a bit embarrassed when he caught me staring at him.

โ€œDid you cry?โ€ He asked and i shook my head.
He smiled and i felt better immediately.
โ€œIโ€™m sorry Danโ€ I said.
โ€œFor?โ€ He asked..
โ€œUhh..โ€
โ€œYou donโ€™t need to apologise for not loving me back..itโ€™s fine,love canโ€™t be forced. Iโ€™ve also decided to stop loving you,Iโ€™ve decided to erase any sort of feelings i have for you and Iโ€™m sorry for loving youโ€ He said and my heart dropped.

My eyes filled with unshed tears and i tried not to make it drop.
He dropped me in front of my door and i didnโ€™t bother saying thanks cause i know Iโ€™m gonna burst into tears any minute from now.

I opened the door and limped in,i closed the door behind me and bursted into tears immediately.

โ€œOMG, Anel whatโ€™s wrong?โ€ Ashlyn and Theresa rushed to me.
โ€œDan has stopped loving meโ€ I cried.

What!

{Next day}

I sat on the grass and watched other students play around the golilop garden.
We were on out day 7 adventure.
Dan was sitting beside me but not very close,he hasnโ€™t spoken to me today.

I havenโ€™t been feeling good since yesterday,my heart is broken.
Dan doesnโ€™t love me anymoreโ€ฆ.

โ€œAre you okay?โ€ I heard him asked and my heart beat in a funny way.
i quickly turned to him.
โ€œIโ€™m fineโ€ I said.
โ€œOkayโ€ He said and continued taking pictures.

Tears filled my eyes once again,i shifted up my knees and rested my head on it.
I started crying silently.

How could i be this weak!
I should be glad he wants to stop loving me.
Was that not what i wanted?
And why am i feeling so down about it.

This adventure should end already!!!

??

Weโ€™ve gotten back to our cabin and i was seated on my bed looking moody.

โ€œComโ€™on Anel,you need to stop acting this way. Iโ€™m sure Dan didnโ€™t mean what he said. Do you want me to help you talk to himโ€ Ashlyn asked and i shook my head.

โ€œIโ€™ll be fineโ€ I said.

The door bursted open and Theresa ran in, panting.

โ€œWhatโ€™s wrong?โ€ We asked.
โ€œA..Anel, Jacq, Karissa and Travis drugged Mr Jones. Theyโ€™ve succeeded in collecting the necklaces from him and right now theyโ€™re all headed towards the direction of the river. Anel hurry!!โ€ She shouted.

I jumped up from my bed and ran outside the cabin.
I headed first to Danโ€™s cabin and banged the door.

โ€œWhoโ€™s there?โ€ Dave asked, opening the door.
โ€œDanโ€ I shouted.
โ€œWhatโ€™s wrong?โ€ Dave asked.
Dan appeared behind him and i noticed how red his eyes were.

Was he crying?

โ€œDan, jacq,Karissa and Travis are taking our necklaces to the river!โ€ I said breathlessly.
โ€œWhat!โ€ He exclaimed.
He pushed Dave out of the way and started running to the direction of the river.
I ran after him,not even stopping to catch my breath.

We got to the river and truly we met them standing at the riverbank.
The necklaces are in jacqโ€™s hand.

โ€œOMG!โ€ Dan exclaimed and ran to them.
I also did.

โ€œWhat are you doing?โ€ He asked as we got to them.
โ€œGive us back our necklaces!โ€ I yelled.

Their faces were still bruised from yesterdayโ€™s beating and i felt glad.

โ€œWeโ€™re not giving it back!โ€ Karissa said.
โ€œYou want your necklaces back right?โ€ Jacq asked.
โ€œYesโ€ I said.

โ€œThen go get itโ€ She said and threw the necklaces in the middle of the river.
I gasped in shock.

The necklaces didnโ€™t last long on the surface before sinking and whole river turned golden immediately.

W.. weโ€™ve lost our necklaces forever!

โ€œNo!!!โ€ I cried and made to hit Jacq but Dan held me back.
โ€œAnel,Iโ€™m going to get itโ€ he said and pulled off his shirt.
โ€œI love you Anel and i will never stop loving youโ€ He said before jumping into the river,i watched him swim to the middle of the river.
He turned to look at me for the last time before diving deep into the water.

I stood rooted to the spot when i couldnโ€™t see his body on the surface again.
I love you too Dan! Iโ€™ve always loved youโ€ I shouted in tears, hoping he heard me.

Will i ever see him again?
The river is so deep and he didnโ€™t even dared to go deep the last time we were here.

Tears rolled down my cheeks as i stared at the now-golden river.
Dan is deep inside trying to get our necklaces.

I furiously turned to Jacq and grabbed her by her hair.
She shouted in pain, trying to pull my hand away but i didnโ€™t let go,i kept pulling her hair until karissa pulled my hand away.

โ€œYouโ€™re all b..โ€ I was saying but Travis suddenly pushed me hard,my feet slowly lifted away from floor and i was on the air in seconds..
I couldnโ€™t gather what was happening until i landed into the river..
Right in the middle..

โ€œNo!โ€ I shouted, struggling to get out.
โ€œPlease help me, i canโ€™t swimโ€ I coughed out water.

I couldnโ€™t hold on any longer,water was starting to get into my ears and nostrils,my eyes closed itself,blackness covered me and i feel life slowly seeping out of me as i got deeper in the river.

JUST FOR LOVE 2 Episode 49 by Azeemah Salami

Danโ€™s POV?

The water was so deep that it kept pulling me back.
Iโ€™ve never swam in such deep water and now I felt like dieing.
I was starting to get tired and frustrated.

When will i get to the riverbed! Or am just gonna die soon.

My mouth was shut tightly and i held my breath as i swam.
Till when will i keep holding my breath.

โ€œI love you too Dan! Iโ€™ve always loved youโ€ Anelโ€™s word kept echoing in my ears.
I was deep in the water when i heard her voice.
She loves me?
Or is she just saying that to make me feel better?

She told me just yesternight that she doesnโ€™t have any feelings for me so how come she love me now?
Or was she pulling back because of the feud between her family and mine.

I was so crazy when i told her i will stop loving her.
Thatโ€™s just impossible cause i canโ€™t.
No matter how i try.

I swim sideways when i saw a Jellyfish swimming.
Iโ€™ve been seeing little fishes of different colors but i never expected to see a Jellyfish.
Itโ€™s a bit different from the ones i do see in papers and films. This one looks real.

I continued swimming,amazed by the different types of fishes i saw.

I pressed my lips tightly in a smile when i saw that Iโ€™ve gotten to the riverbed.

Wow!
So beautiful.

The river bed is covered with beautiful white stones which had turned to golden in courtesy of our necklaces.
So neat and amazingโ€ฆIโ€™ve always heard of how beautiful the riverbed is but Iโ€™ve never seen it.
I guess this is another adventure for me,i felt sad wishing Anel is here with me.

I canโ€™t find our necklaces.
They should be right here on the stones waiting for me but thereโ€™s nothing here.

Gosh!
Will i have to start searching again.
Iโ€™m getting weak already.

โ€œI love you too Dan! Iโ€™ve always loved youโ€ I felt strengthened by those words again and i started swimming, searching for the necklaces.
*
I was overjoyed when i saw the two necklaces laying on a big golden stone,Iโ€™m sure the necklaces made it golden ,it should be white.

I started swimming towards it but suddenly stopped when i saw a whale approaching.

Geez!
Where the hell is this thing coming from.
And damn! Itโ€™s so big that Iโ€™m sure it could swallow half of my body.
God! Where am i gonna hide?
God you need to save me.

It was approaching me fast and my heart raced in fear.
I couldnโ€™t swim anymore,i should scream but Iโ€™m afraid to open my mouth,if water should enter my mouth then Iโ€™m good as dead.

OMG!
It has gotten to my front,i closed my eyes tightly in fear.

I felt it swim past me,i couldnโ€™t believe it at first until i opened my eyes.
Itโ€™s gone.
Thank goodness!!

But how did it manage to escape me?
I thought it was coming directly at me.
Lord i thank you.

Now i can take our necklaces.
I swam towards it and picked it up.
My heart raced with joy and i tried not to smile. I wonโ€™t want water rushing into my mouth.
I wrapped the necklaces round my hand tightly.

I should start swimming back before i die here.
I stopped when i saw a big glass box ,itโ€™s blur and i couldnโ€™t see whatโ€™s inside.
What could be inside?

There are sure many things beneath this river.
I took one last glance at it before i started swimming back to the shore.
Itโ€™s gonna take quite long before i get there.

**

Iโ€™ve gotten so weak by the time i got to the shore.
I raised up my head and finally had the chance to breath.
I wiped water off my face,and coughed slightly.
I shivered in cold and sighed.

It was getting dark.

โ€œOMG! Danโ€ i heard.
Vie,Theresa,Dave and Ashlyn were standing by the riverbank with tear-filled eyes.

Whereโ€™s Anel?

I got out of the river and they all rushed to me.

โ€œDan,are you okay?

Are you fine?

Thank goodness.

Iโ€™m glad youโ€™re back safelyโ€ They chorused and i smiled ,still wondering where Anel is.

โ€œDan what happened?โ€ Dave asked.
โ€œI went to get our necklacesโ€ I said dryly.
โ€œYou know how deep the river is,what if you had died!โ€ Dave said.
โ€œI know but i had to get our necklaces and i already got it ,iโ€™m back safelyโ€ I said.

โ€œLook,these necklaces are shinyโ€ Ashlyn said in surprise staring at the necklaces in my hand.
โ€œAnd the river was goldenโ€ Theresa said.
โ€œBut it turned back to itโ€™s normal position immediately you walked out of itโ€ Theresa said.
โ€œYeah,our necklaces made it goldenโ€ I said and noticed there was this sad look on their faces.
Shouldnโ€™t they be happy that Iโ€™m back.

โ€œWhereโ€™s Anel?โ€ I asked they glanced at one another.

โ€œWhereโ€™s Anel?โ€ I asked again but none of them said a word.
โ€œIs she in the cabin?โ€ I asked and they shook their heads.

โ€œThen whereโ€™s she!โ€ I yelled, suspecting something bad might have happened.

โ€œS..she..T..travis pus..hed her into the river and she has not..sheโ€™s not back yet, weโ€™ve not seen her since then. We expected you to back with her butโ€ฆโ€ Theresa said in tears and my heart dropped.
The necklaces fell off my hand and sweat covered my forehead.

โ€œI just hope Anel is not dead cause sheโ€™s not good in swimmingโ€ Vie cried.
โ€œA..anel is in that river?โ€ I asked in shock.
They nodded.

I turned back to the river and tears filled my eyes.
Iโ€™m a good swimmer yet it was difficult for me to swim in this river,not to talk of Anel whoโ€™s not even good at swimming.

โ€œNoooโ€ I screamed in tears,my heart breaking into pieces.

My legs wobbled and i couldnโ€™t feel my feet anymore.
I dropped on my knees, crying loudly.

I hope itโ€™s not too late to save her.

I wiped my tears and stood up,i walked slowly to the river and was about jumping in when i saw a..a body washed ashore.

Anel!

โ€œOMG!โ€ They all screamed and rushed towards her body.

Is she dead?

I stood without moving ,my heart beating fast.
Her face still looks perfect,just looking pale and soft.
Theresa shook her but she didnโ€™t move and it felt like i was also dying..I couldnโ€™t breathe with the fear that Anel might have truly died.
Another round of tears filled my eyes and i couldnโ€™t move.

โ€œSheโ€™s aliveโ€ They screamed happily and i was surprised when life returned back to me.
A smile appeared on my lip and my feet that once felt heavy to move,now moved freely.

I walked to where she was laid, theresa was pressing her chest and i watched as she coughed out water.
Damn! Sheโ€™s looking more beautiful.

I bent slowly and took her hands. It felt incredibly cold.
Her breathing was slow and she coughed more water as Theresa kept pressing her chest.

โ€œOur friend is aliveโ€ Vie screamed happily, dancing round us.

I smiled,the happiness Iโ€™m feeling right now is beyond control.
My Anel is alive!


โ€œDan,just sit okay,Iโ€™ll go get the coffeeโ€ Dave said.

Weโ€™ve all returned back to Anelโ€™s cabin, sheโ€™s in the bathroom running a warm bath,theresa and Ashlyn already went to collect our dinner while Vie is with Anel in the bathroom.
Anel is still very weak and Iโ€™m afraid she might get sick.

I was about to go get coffee for her when Dave offered to go.

โ€œThanks Daveโ€ I said and he nodded before walking out of the cabin.
I sighed and adjusted on Anelโ€™s bed.

The bathroom door opened and she walked out fully dressed in thick clothes with Vie behind her.
Her hair was still wet.
She looked at me..โ€Wonโ€™t you also take a warm bath?โ€
I shook my head. โ€œIโ€™m fine,all i care about now is youโ€

She smiled and muttered thanks before sitting beside me.
Her lashes fluttered and my heart felt funny.
โ€œDave have gone to get you coffee and Theresa and ashlyn will be here soon with our dinnerโ€ I said and she nodded.

She now has this faraway look in her eyes since she returned from the river.
I touched her hand and it still felt cold. I hope the coffee will keep her warm.

โ€œDo you want me to help you dry your hair?โ€ I asked and she smiled.
โ€œYeahโ€
โ€œWhereโ€™s the dryer?โ€ I asked.
โ€œItโ€™s beside Ashlynโ€™s boxโ€ She said and i stood up and quickly went to get it.
*
They all walked in immediately i finished drying Anelโ€™s hair .

โ€œDinner is hereโ€ Ashlyn smiled, placing a plate of covered food each in front of everyone while Theresa served bottled water.

Dave stretched two cups of coffee to me.
โ€œI feel you might also need coffeeโ€ He said and i smiled.
โ€œThanks Daveโ€ I said and collected the cups of coffee from him.
I handed one to Anel and watched her drink it before gulping down mine.
Iโ€™m glad it made me feel a bit warm .

โ€œNow letโ€™s eatโ€

We all sat and started eating our dinner in silence.

**

โ€œWe should inform the teachers about thisโ€ Theresa said breaking the silence.

โ€œNo,i donโ€™t want any of the teachers knowing about thisโ€ I said.
โ€œYeah,letโ€™s keep it to ourselvesโ€ Anel said.
She was almost done with her dinner.

โ€œDo you want more?โ€ I asked and she shook her head.
โ€œThanksโ€ She said, twisting the cap of her bottled water.

There are so many questions i want to ask her but this is not the right time.
She gulped half of her water and handed the rest to me before sliding under her blanket.

โ€œThanks everyone. Dan, youโ€™ll sleep beside me right?โ€ She asked and i nodded.
She smiled and muttered โ€˜goodnightโ€™
She yawned and closed her eyes.

There are so many questions to ask and i think she also have a lot of things to say.
Till tomorrow thenโ€ฆ.

?{Next night}?

?Anelโ€™s POV?

โ€œMy heart already left my body,i thought you were deadโ€ Dan said and i laughed.
Iโ€™m feeling much better now and i canโ€™t stop thinking about what happened to me beneath the river.

We were sitting at our favorite place,the lake,with our legs dipped into the water.
My head was placed on Danโ€™s shoulder.

Itโ€™s a beautiful night.

โ€œAnel,i have a lot of questions for youโ€ He said.
โ€œAnd i also have a lot of things to say to youโ€ I said.
โ€œOkay,letโ€™s start with mineโ€ He said and i nodded.

โ€œYou are not a good swimmer yet you came out of the river safely,how did you do that?โ€ He asked.
I smiled โ€œIโ€™m just gonna tell you everything from the beginningโ€

?Flashback?

I couldnโ€™t hold on any longer,water was starting to get into my ears and nostrils,my eyes closed itself,blackness covered me and i feel life slowly seeping out of me as i got deeper into the river.

Suddenly,it didnโ€™t feel like i was inside water anymore,it felt like i was on land and i was even sitting down!
Have i been saved?
Whatโ€™s happening?

I opened my eyes and saw myself in a large glass box that could contain three or more people,it was transparent and i could see lots of water which signified that i was still in the river,Iโ€™m at the riverbed , seated in a glass box.

Whatโ€™s happening?
How did i get in here?

The sight is amazing and Iโ€™m glad Iโ€™m safe but..i just donโ€™t understand whatโ€™s happening right now.
I was startled when i heard a movement behind me in the box.
I turned my neck and gasped when i saw my Mum seated,staring at me.

Sheโ€™s looking so gorgeous in her pink dress with her hair styled differently.

โ€œM..mumโ€ I called and she smiled at me.
I smiled back and sat properly, facing her.
Am i dreaming again?

โ€œMum,am i dreaming again?โ€ I asked and she shook her head.
โ€œNo princess, youโ€™re not dreaming,this is realityโ€ She said.
โ€œReally?โ€
She nodded.
โ€œMum,Iโ€™m so glad to see you. Weโ€™ve defeated Feliaโ€ I said happily.
โ€œI saw everything. Iโ€™m so proud of you guysโ€ She said.
โ€œThanks mumโ€ I smiled.

She didnโ€™t say anything for a while,she only stared at me.

โ€œMum,what am i doing here? I could remember i was sinking and moments later,i found myself in this boxโ€ I said looking round the box.
Itโ€™s beautiful.
โ€œI saved youโ€ She said.
โ€œThanks so much Mumโ€ I said and made to hug her but she held out a hand to stop me.

โ€œMum,you need to save Dan tooโ€ I said.
โ€œDan is fine, heโ€™ll be fineโ€ She said.

โ€œPrincess, this might be the last time youโ€™ll see meโ€ She said,and my eyes filled with tears.
โ€œDo not cry princess, youโ€™ll be fineโ€ She said.
โ€œMum..i want you to be with me,why did you leave so early,i need you Mumโ€ I said in tears.

โ€œIโ€™m sorry but i caused all this myself,i caused my death myself,it all started when i wasnโ€™t satisfied with the way i look. Iโ€™m sure Liam told you everythingโ€ She said and i nodded.

โ€œYou didnโ€™t cause anything mum. Danโ€™s dad didโ€ I said.
โ€œBryan didnโ€™t! Iโ€™m sure Liam didnโ€™t tell you the true story, Bryan knows nothing about it,heโ€™s not even involved in my deathโ€ She said..
โ€œBut you did everything for himโ€ I said.
โ€œI did it cause i wanted to. Bryan wasnt even aware of my feelings for him in the first placeโ€ She said.
โ€œReally?โ€ I asked.

โ€œYes,i bet Liam didnโ€™t even told you that. Do you want me to tell you everything?โ€ She asked and i nodded.

**

โ€œThat was what happened?โ€ I asked after she was done with her narration.
โ€œYes princess.โ€ Mum sighed.
โ€œItโ€™s so pointless to blame Danโ€™s Dad. Liam told me a different storyโ€ I said and she smiled.

โ€œI miss him so much, He was the best brother in the worldโ€ She said, looking quite sad.
โ€œOfcourse he isโ€ I said.
โ€œLiam will continue blaming Bryan cause heโ€™s still hurt by my deathโ€
โ€œHow am i gonna convince him to drop the blame. Liam is so stubbornโ€ I said.
She smiled โ€ Yes he is but never mind Iโ€™ll do that myselfโ€ She said.
โ€œReally?โ€
โ€œYeahโ€

โ€œIs that not Dan?โ€ She asked pointing to my back,i turned and saw him through the transparent glass,he was swimming and obviously looking for our necklaces.
I smiled.

โ€œDan has grown so handsomeโ€ Mum smiled.
โ€œYou like him right?โ€ She asked.
โ€œHuh?โ€ I blushed.
โ€œYou were refraining cause you thought his father actually caused my death right?โ€ She asked and i nodded.
โ€œIโ€™m glad you now know the truth and im looking forward to seeing both of you togetherโ€ she said โ€ฆ
โ€œOhh..โ€ I sighed, blushing harder.

I looked at him,he was staring at the riverbed admiringly.
Iโ€™m glad heโ€™s okay.
He started swimming towards our necklaces which was on a stone.
I gasped when i saw a whale suddenly approaching him,he looked so scared that he had to close his eyes.
My heart beat faster and i screamed.

โ€œMum, please save himโ€ I cried and watched her raise a finger,the whale suddenly swam past Dan without hurting him.
I sighed in relief.
โ€œThanks mumโ€ I smiled.
She nodded.

Heโ€™s starting to swim towards the necklaces,he picked them up and i could see how hard he was holding his smile.
I smiled โ€œThanks mumโ€

I glanced back at the glass and noticed it has gone blur.
โ€œMum,what went wrong? The glass has gone blurโ€ I said.
โ€œYeah,i did that,i wonโ€™t want him to see us. Heโ€™s looking right hereโ€ She said.
โ€œOhhโ€ฆWill he be fine?โ€ I asked.
โ€œHeโ€™ll be fine, princessโ€ She said and i nodded.

โ€œI think my time is up,i have to leave nowโ€ She said and i felt sad immediately.
โ€œMum,why do you always have to leave?โ€ I said, starting to tear up.
โ€œIโ€™m sorry, princess..im so sorry i always have to leave youโ€ She said sadly.

โ€œByeโ€ She waved slowly.
I cried and watched as she passed through the box,i couldnt see her again.
Sheโ€™s gone!

โ€œBye mumโ€ I shouted.

I closed my eyes and on opening it,i found myself on land, coughing out water.

?End of flashback?

โ€œOMG! Your Mum saved me from the whale?โ€ Dan asked in shock and i nodded my head.
โ€œThank you Auntieโ€ He screamed and i laughed.

โ€œI canโ€™t believe you were in that glass box,i would have broken it open if i knewโ€ He said and i smiled.

โ€œDanโ€ I called.
โ€œHuh?โ€ He grinned happily.
I raised my head from his shoulder and said the word i never thought i will say.

โ€œI love youโ€ I said and tightened my lips together,my heart raced and i waited for what will happen next.
I couldnโ€™t look at his face but Iโ€™m sure it will be full of surprise.

I intertwined my hands and stared at the lake, feeling nervous.

โ€œA.. Anel,you love me?โ€ He asked.
โ€œYes Dan,i do,Iโ€™ve always loved youโ€ I said and faced him.
His expression was unreadable.
โ€œI love you tooโ€ He screamed happily that had to block my ears.

I smiled as i watched his happy face.
His eyes shone in the moonlight and i wouldnโ€™t even argue if i was told Dan is the most handsome guy in the world.

We both fell silent,lost in staring at each other.
I donโ€™t know the magical force that brought our faces together,which made our lips inches apart and this time we did what weโ€™ve never done.

We kissed!
