Shane's POV

Life is defiantly difficult. Especially when you're afraid of water and your house is on the beach.

"C'mon Shane, jump in!" my best friend Nate said. "Nah, I'm good." The truth is, I wasn't good. I was terrified of the water. I could hear my heart pounding and I could feel the blood drain from my face. Nate knows about my phobia, he's trying to help me get over it. I know you're wondering how a 16 year old boy could be afraid of water, but it all happened eight years ago…

(Flashback)

Me dad and I were going to an island that day. I didn't know how to swim at the time. "Shane, hurry up, we're gonna be late." I excitedly ran on the boat.

As we were in the middle of the ocean, my dad realized he forgot something "Shane" "Yah" He looked at me "I forgot to bring some food I'll be back" My dad nonchalantly jumped in the ocean. "Dad, you're going to swim it?" I got worried. "Yah, it's only a couple of miles, I'll make it" I tried to persuade him not to go. "Can't you just take the boat?" but it was to late, my dad was already 100 feat away. 30 minutes later, I got bored. I started to run my finger on the water. The water felt so warm and silky on my finger tips.

As if by bad luck, I fell in the water. I tried to swim back up, but I couldn't. I just kept sinking and sinking . I was running out of breath, and I could feel that rasp in my throat that was telling me it was time to breathe. I then felt a hand grab me. The hand had pink nail polish and a tan complexion. Shortly after, I saw her. The most beautiful creature I've ever seen. A mermaid. She was tan, she had luscious long brown hair, her eyes were so dark that you couldn't see her pupils, her lips looked so soft, her tail was an exotic shade of red, her eye lashes were really long. Something was different under her touch. Under her touch, I could breathe. She started to look worried, and then I blacked out.

(End of flashback)

I think otherwise, I think it was all a dream. Mermaids do not exist.

Mitchie's POV

I stood there behind a rock, staring at the boy I saved 8 years ago. He had grown since then. He is muscular, his hair is black and luscious I just wanna run my fingers through it, his lips look really soft. It's really hard living down here in the ocean, especially when you have to hide from humans and yet you're fascinated by them. And to top it all of, my crush is human and afraid of water.

My nails are pink right now. They change colors with my emotion. Here's the key:

Pink-Typical school girl crush

Red-deeply in love

Black-mad

Yellow-scared

White-nervous

Green-sick

Purple-sympathetic

Blue-sad

Dark blue-depressed

Gold-On the verge of death

I don't care if Shane is afraid of water. I'm gonna make him mine some way some how.
