Note: I do not own any of the characters from the Private Series, only Kate Brian does. (lucky) lol.
Chapter 1
The water was so rough I could barely keep myself up. I thought of Noelle, and Kiran and Taylor, would they notice I was gone? Where was Upton? Did he catch up to Poppy? Why should I even care, he is such a player. He never loved me. He was a great guy, but… he left me for her. I thought of Josh too. I am still in love with him. It hurts me to even think I won't ever get to look into his beautiful eyes again. The water is pushing me under, and I don't know what else to do. I try to kick myself up, but I don't have enough strength. This dress is weighing me down. The salt water is pouring into my mouth and it's stinging my eyes as I try to scream for help. It's useless. All the times someone's tried to kill me, and it's finally working. I can barely breathe, so I close my eyes and let the water take me.
"Oh my god! Reed, come here! Dash, grab her!" I can hear Noelle. Why was she here? Where was Dash? Suddenly, I feel myself pulled out of the water onto a small lifeboat by Dash apparently. I was so tired I couldn't keep my eyes open. I kept coughing because I inhaled so much salt water it burned my throat.
"Reed, you're okay now. Don't worry. Please don't cry." Dash said. I hadn't even noticed I was crying. I tried to apologize, but my throat hurt too much. I felt Noelle put her arm around me, and I lay my head on her shoulder.
"Shhh. Go to sleep Reed." She repeated. And so I did.
