Disclaimer: I do not own the private series, Kate Brian does!!

I decided not to finish my own version of paradise lost because almost everyone already read the real one so I thought that I will just

make my own version of suspicion! I really hope you like it.

As I was being continually eaten by the midst of the ocean, I didn't have the will to fight. I didn't have the will to swim as hard as I can, to go to

the shores and scream as hard as I can for help. It just seems so useless to me now. It seems that even Hurricane Reed can't save herself.

That's how strong my bad luck is. Everyone betrayed me. Even Upton did. He went to go after Poppy. He chose her over me. But as I felt the

salt water fill my lungs, I was filled with thoughts of Josh. I remembered the times we were together. I remembered all the memories we

shared, all the laughter that we sung to each other. The first time that I told him I loved him. How I love the sight of the reaction in his eyes

back then! But all of that seemed like a very long time ago. It felt like it was just a dream that can never happen in real life, because in real life

nothing good can ever happen to me. After all the memories Josh and I shared, he also betrayed me. He chose Ivy. He chose to stay with her

because she needs him. But despite all the reassurances I made to myself that it was okay with me, it never was. I needed him even more

than Ivy did. I needed the rock that I can cling to during the most stressful and depressing time of my life. Ivy was only damaged physically,

that can be repaired through time. But my damage was beyond repair. I was stabbed deep down inside me. Nothing can ever change the fact

that he betrayed me for Ivy.

This is it. All those problems will be forgotten now because I will never come back to them. I will be somewhere far far away from them,

somewhere that I can rest and be in peace. And when I was only a few more seconds to reach that place, I heard a shout from a yacht that

seemed a thousand miles away. That shout came from a yacht that contained my friends. I remembered Noelle, Kiran, Taylor, Constance,

Tiffany and many other people who consider me as their close friend. Suddenly I came back to my senses. Of course, it's not the end of the

world! I can continue to live with my friends who truly love me. I couldn't let 2 people ruin my life. And I will not let the person who pushed me

have what he or she wanted. I will find out who that person is and I will make sure that he or she will pay for trying to kill me. But as I was

trying to fight now, I realized, is it too late? My legs felt numb. My heavy gown is continually pulling me down. But as I tried as hard as I could, I

was able to inhale fresh air again. I was already above the ocean. I can swim back to the shores and continue to live happily with my friends

here and back at Easton. I can forget Upton……..and Josh. I can most definitely do that. He seemed to forget me first based on the fact that he

never even tried to contact me again. I can forget him because he won't even care.

As I reached the shores of St. Barth's, I was suddenly filled with tiredness. I can see that my body was full of marks and wounds. I drifted into

unconsciousness.

Suddenly, a newly improved, brave and strong, Reed Brennan was born inside me.

I really hope you liked it!! And I really need to ask your opinion…Who do you want Reed to end up with? Upton or Josh? Please

review!!!And I will make the next chapter longer!!
