Chapter 9
"James?! Somebody help me!" Lily was looking around frantically for any signs of other people. When she didn't find anyone, she started to drag James to shore, a thing she had learned in swimming classes years ago. The thirty seconds it took to swim to shore with James seemed like forever to Lily. Horrible things kept popping into her head everyone more horrible than the last. Then the worst thing popped into her head and it extremely startled her. What if James is dying or even worse, is already dead?
She pushed that thought out of her head and started to do the ABCs (An: if you're in higher swimming classes you'll know what I mean!), Airway, Breathing, Circulation. She was looking, listening, and feeling for his breathing when he started to cough, spitting out water as well.
"James?!"
He opened his eyes slightly at the sound of Lily's voice and his name.
"Lil?"
"Oh James!" cried Lily as James looked up at her. She wrapped her arms around him and started to cry. James, who was coughing again, was a little startled, a little confused, and a little pleased from the gesture.
"I thought you might have died!" Lily cried between sobs.
James was still a little confused as to what had happened but managed to sit up and hug Lily to comfort her.
"It's okay Lily, I'm not dead." He whispered into her ear, sending a pleasant tingle down her spine. Lily slowly stopped crying but she didn't let go if James. She never wanted to let go of him after what had happened.
Lily felt so relieved that James was alive, even if he was a git sometimes and did bother her way too much. But she was also afraid that something like this would happen again and next time she wouldn't be able to save him, if she had saved him.
James was feeling delighted that Lily was hugging him without being forced but in a way it frightened him. Something really bad must have happened for Lily to be hugging James, she hated James. But he decided to enjoy it while it lasted because it probably never happen again. They stayed in that hugging position, for who knows how long, until James said "We're going to get sick if we don't get into some dryer clothes soon."
Lily nodded. She didn't want to let go of James, she wanted to stay like that forever. 'Wait a second.' She thought, 'I want to hug James forever? What's wrong with me?' She let go of James and looked into his dreamy hazel eyes. She shook her head as she started to think of how heart melting they were. Instead she looked at his hair. Nothing bad would happen if she looked at his hair, right? As she looked at his messy, jet black hair, she had a sudden urge to run her fingers through it. She started to reach up but stopped halfway when she realized what she was doing.
"Uh...Lily?" asked James, confused and looking at her hand suspiciously. "Huh?" asked Lily, dropping her hand.
"Are we going inside now?"
"Uh, ya. Sure." Lily shook her head once again. "I don't like James, I like Brett." She mumbled.
"what was that you said?" asked James.
"Uh..nothing." Lily replied quickly, getting up. "Let's go." She started walking up towards the castle, not waiting for James, and mumbling to herself the whole way.
