Chapter 4
"Hey look Max I'm sorry. I know you hate heights." Caleb said as soon as my feet dragged me back to where the Hummer was. "It's not just that it's the fact that you always yell every time someone uses. But you use whenever you feel like it and it's suddenly okay." I said letting the last of my temper flare. "I did it because I thought it would be fun for you and everyone else." He said jumping back into his defensive state. "No you didn't! You did it to seem all cool in front of that Sarah chick!" I screamed. "Well so what if I did? Are you gonna…" "You know what Caleb I don't care anymore! Alright this is so stupid and personally it's not worth my time! I don't give a shit what you use your powers for anymore alright?! I'm sorry I blew this whole thing out of per portion okay?" I said as the last of my defiance slipped away. "Alright I'm sorry too, I shouldn't have let my feelings get in the way of using." He said as resolve filled his voice. "Okay now that we're cool, Mum will be pissed if she gets a letter home before school even starts saying that I'm in trouble." I said worried about how late it is. "You're right." Everyone agreed as we all got back in the Hummer to go back to school.
"Isn't weird how that kid just showed up?" I asked Tyler as we were walking to the dorms. "I know it's like he was off walking around and just popped up to be a good person!" Tyler said in a sarcastic tone while jumping up and down. "Hey I didn't know you could be sarcastic!" I said in a patronizing tone while ruffling his hair. "Oh shut up!" he said while pushing me away. "You know what we haven't done in a while Ty?" I asked him as I stopped walking. "What?" he asked only mildly interested. "When haven't gone to our secret place." I said already running towards our secret place. "Max it's already 12:00 pm! We've got school tomorrow!" Tyler shouted even though he ran after me. "Hey Ty do you think we should bring Reid here one day?" I asked him as we both stopped in front of a huge pond surrounded with trees and a beautiful rock garden around it. "I think he would love it since he's practically out brother anyways." Tyler said smiling as he took in the scene around us. "Yeah… Brother… Yeah." I stammered out. "Oh come on Max I know you like him!" Tyler said exasperated. "No I don't!" I lied. "Oh come on I'm not blind and remember when you first met them you told me you thought he was cute!" Tyler said between gasps of laughter. "Yeah, so that was then!" I said back. "Whatever, just play it cool around him." Tyler said coming down to a serious note. "Okay I think I can do that." I said as I became my usual self again. "Hey Ty I miss us hanging out together like this." I said as I sat down with my bare feet in the pond. "Me too sis, come on you're gonna catch a cold get out!" Tyler said as he sat down beside me. "It's only my feet Tyler! It's not like I'm gonna fall in!" I said exasperated. Just then the rock I was sitting on began to quiver then suddenly I fell into the almost frozen pond. "Max!" Tyler screamed as he stuck his hands into the water to find me. I could feel all the air I had in my lungs lowly gush out as I sunk deeper and deeper into the icy depths. I felt my ear drums crack and pop from the pressure around me. When I tried to move my arms they felt like they were tied into the darkness of the icy pool. I assumed it was the sudden cold impact that made them numb. Off in the distance I could hear Ty calling to me, when I tried to answer all that came out was bubbles. I felt my feet hit the bottom of the what seemed to be bottomless pond. I tried one last time to pull myself up and out of the pond but it was as useless as before. The last thing I thought of was "Goodbye Tyler."
