Chapter 1
My wobbling hand tightly gripped the weakening root that had immediately presented itself as I tumbled off the trail, and over a steep drop-off overlooking the lake. As I looked down, I saw the crushing black water about sixty feet below me. When I looked up to check how the root was holding out, just feet in front of my hand I saw Ashley staring down at me in horror. She held out her hand and with a shaky but confident voice said, " Spencer, grab my hand. I'll get you." I slowly reached up with my free hand, latching it to her wrist. " Now let go of the root, Spencer. I've got you.", she said in her calm soothing voice. I counted to three in my head and forced myself to let go. As soon as I released the root, Ashley jolted forward as I let out a bloodcurdling scream. I instantly closed my eyes and was suddenly jerked upwards and Ashley said, " I've got you. You're ok." She started pulling me up when her hand started slipping from mine. I started whimpering and she began pulling up with even greater determination than before. As my fingers started reaching her's I looked up into her eyes and said, "I love you." Ashley then screamed, "No Spencer, No!", as I started descending into the black.
As I plunged downward I found the fall almost never-ending. During my three flips in the air I saw Aiden, Kyla, Madison, Clay and Chelsea looking on in terror from the dock. As I looked upwards for the last time I saw Ashley dive off the ledge after me. Hitting the water felt like hitting a slab of wet concrete. From there I stared sinking until I reached the lake bottom. By that time I couldn't figure out if I was still alive or not, but after a while I felt the grasp of an angel's hands pulling upwards on my waist . The way I floated up with the angel was like flying. Then the pressure was immediately relieved from my head and replaced by a gentle and cool breeze. I felt the hard support of wood on my back as the angel laid me down. The angel started calling worriedly, " Spencer, can you hear me? Spencer!?" I opened my eyes just a enough to see that the heroic angel was myAshley. By the time I hit the water I had totally forgotten that Ashley had dived in after me. When I opened my eyes, I saw Ashley, Aiden, Kyla, Madison, Clay and Chelsea huddled around me. Ashley was directly on top of me. I raised my hand slowly and touched Ashley's cheek. Just as I reached her chin I felt a sharp pain in my head and my hand dropped to the ground. And the last thing I remember was fading away into the dark and Ashley pressing her warm, soft lips to mine as my eyes shut.
