The last thing I remember thinking before I saw the boat disappear on the horizon was this; someone on the boat tried to kill me. It looked like they would succeed – all that surrounded me was the Ocean, which I had once thought to be magnificent and beautiful but which now made me feel sick deep in my stomach. My arms and legs ached from treading water – it was freezing and my dress weighed me down. I took off my dress, and treaded water for what felt like an eternity longer before I heard his voice.
I looked to my left to see a boat silently approaching and a boy with longish brown hair and blue eyes shout my name.
"Reed!" he shouted, and dived out of the boat to me, I felt a safeness I have never before felt – and knew I must be dead.
"Thomas" I said in a tried voice, trying to kiss the first boy I ever loved.
"Huh?" he asked, as he moved his head so my lips couldn't meet his "I think we should get you back to Lange".
I was so happy to have Thomas with me in heaven; I had missed him so much and felt extremely guilty he had died because of me – hurricane Reed. I vaguely remember him pulling me into an inflatable speedboat and carrying me into Noelle's house on St. Barth's before I fell blissfully into unconsciousness.
When I awake again there was an interesting conversation and I decided it would be best to fake unconsciousness and listen in a bit.
"She thought I was him – a dead person" Thomas said – with emphasis on 'him'.
"Blake; She was barely alive – and you two look a lot alike. Although Thomas was a hell of a hard stone to get along with" Noelle said. Blake? Blake... Blake, why is the name familiar? Blake... Person? Parson? Pearson! Blake Pearson. The older brother of Thomas Pearson. I had thought before that he was Thomas – how could I be stupid enough to mistake them again? I sat up, and both eyes looked at me – obviously wondering how much I had heard.
"Sorry I tried to kiss you, I thought I was in heaven with your brother" I said, with my eyes on my shoes and a small smile on my lips at the happy memories of Thomas.
