Chapter 1: Lost and Found

Why am I in the water, what happened? Last thing I remember was smelling something musky, then someone was trying to pull Noelle's necklace off of me. I didn't jump, am not that crazy. Someone pushed me I know it, am going to find out if I survive….

"HELP!!!" I shouted as loud as could, which wasn't really that loud considering the boats engine roaring and everyone on board going on with their lives, doesn't somebody notice am not there.

"Anyone hear me please help me!!" I shouted again with little enthusiasm I wasn't going to get through this alive, if anyone found me it was going to be because I washed up on the beach in a couple days.

All I kept thinking about in the freezing water was what Poppy Simmon said to me, that I was Hurricane Reed, I was beginning to think she was right about me, unless she was the one that pushed me. Nut it couldn't have been her she ran somewhere then that JERK Upton ran after her leaving me there to think about what just happened with Mrs. Ryan and Poppy I was so embarrassed and he left me. Then something else came into my mind, Josh. Josh wouldn't have left me there for another girl, but thinking about a little harder he did leave me for another girl, he didn't even give me a chance to explain. He had to hear the truth from my stalker, Sabine. I was going to make it through this somehow, I was for him and only him, not for Upton or Noelle, for Josh.

I could feel my body going numb and my legs and arms getting tired from doggy paddling. The yacht had gone far now I was trying to swim after it, I was chasing my only hope of survival away. I was miles away from the shore I wasn't going to make this. I started swimming towards the shore now and after 15 more minutes of swimming I finally gave up, I started to whisper the last thing that came to my mind,

"I'm so sorry Josh, am soooo……"

I didn't get to finish my sentence, but before everything went black I saw a boat coming towards me but I didn't have the strength to hang on, who knew if they would hear me or see my, but with the luck that I have they probably wont even look my way.

"Hey there's something in the water, it looks like a dead….."

"Holy Shit, dad get my a rope there's a girl in the water."

"A girl, Josh go help Lynn.. What are you guys waiting for jump in and save that girl!!"

All I heard were sounds no words just noises, I knew they were people there I just couldn't make out what they were saying.

"Oh dear, I will call for an ambulance."

There was another person, a lady I think. Did they see me was I being rescued?

"Josh grab her legs, I got her head."

Josh? Josh was there? I thought he was with Ivy, and I thought they were in Paris. I started to get my strength back I had to see if it was my Josh.

"Josh." I whispered

"Holy Crap, she's alive and apparently….. Oh my God, Josh its Reed!!"

"WHAT!! Reed?? Reed?? Can you hear me.." he whispered into my ear.

"Mom, Dad its Reed throw me a rope hurry, she's freezing." yelled Lynn.

I don't think Josh could compute that I was right there with him, he didn't speak anymore. He just kept saying my name.

"Josh come one, it takes more than one person to get her up there…. JOSH!!" yelled Lynn

"WHAT!! OK OK, FUCK." shouted Josh rite back at Lynn.

"I got her, I got her. Susan get some towels and blankets for her, she's freezing." Mr. Hollis said.

"Is she gonna be ok, Reed can you hear me, please say something.." Josh pleaded.

"Josh give her some room, she will be fine." said Lynn.

"Give her room, are you serious?? Your not the one that just found your girlfriend half dead floating in the middle of the ocean." shouted Josh.

"I believe its EX-GIRLFRIEND, remember?.." said Lynn

I didn't hear anything, but then I heard this,

"OUCH, WHAT THE F, DUDE!!" screamed Lynn.

"Both of you STOP IT NOW!!!" yelled Mr. Hollis

"You have no idea what your talking about, ok so just stay out of my business." said Josh

Then I heard footsteps getting farther away, I was hoping they were Lynn's but then Mr. Hollis said "Leave your brother alone, he is just worried, ok Lynn."

"Yea, whatever. Am worried too. Do you really think she is going to be ok??" asked Lynn

"God I hope so, I really hope so." whispered Mr. Hollis

That was the last thing I heard, nobody spoke anymore.
