Thanks for all the amazing comments ... really it very nice and unexpected.
You guys are swell!
Yes I realize I need a proofreader badly. I have one for my Andromeda stories but not one for my OC stuff...so if there are any volunteer's that would be great.
I'm sorry the chapters are short but I'm going on vacation so I haven't had time to write as much as I had hoped and even less time to proof read.... Hopefully I'll fix it all when I get back...

Spotlights danced over the water like some manic disco.
Seth Started to flail in the water as he searched for his friend. "Ryan!" He screamed. Suddenly there was a man in a wet suit beside him. Seth grabbed him despite the pain the burned up his side. "Ryan, he was just here!" the panic welled up in his chest he could barley breath. "Please," he pleaded. "My brother!"
Another man in a diving suit somersaulted in beside Seth with a splash that started the distraught boy.
The man that Seth held in a death grip talked to him kindly. "Let's get you aboard son. We need to warm you up."
"No," Seth struggled. "Ryan, I need to find him!"
"It's okay," the man soothed. "My partner is looking for him. He's the best there is."
A sob escaped from Seth's voice as they pulled him towards the Harbor patrol boat.
Ryan was dreaming. It wasn't a good dream. He was falling and he didn't like heights.
He had had this dream before, except this time it seemed to be in slow motion. It felt as if he was floating down to his death instead of at a breakneck speed. He was holding his breath and it hurt. Little spots of little sparkled before his eyes. He wanted to open his mouth ...to breath. But that was bad and he couldn't quite remember why. He hurt and he was tired. He had to stay awake so Seth wouldn't be alone. Seth! Where was Seth!? He struggled but found now purchase.
He didn't like this dream. He wanted to be back in the pool house. He wanted to smell Marissa's hair and play video games. He wanted to eat pizza and laugh as Sandy teased Kirsten. He wanted to go home.
He was cold and so tired. He opened his mouth and the water rushed in.
It hurt. The water hurt. It was all around him and inside him. He couldn't get away.
The darkness hit him like an anvil.
A man on the boat wrapped Seth in big heavy blankets. But, Seth struggled against them. He didn't care about the blankets he needed to find Ryan.
The man that he had talked to early in the water appeared at his side again. He knelt in front of Seth in an effort to black Seth's mad dash to the side of the large boat. "My name is Ken. Your name is Seth right? Seth Cohen? Your folks called in and said you and you're foster brother we're missing. We'll keep looking for him but we need to check you out okay? "
Seth nodded distractedly as he tried to pull away again.
The there was a pop and a splash as the other diver appeared out of the water. He was pulling on something. Quickly, the diver's co-workers converged him on and together they pulled a lifeless body on board.
It was Ryan.
He lay unmoving in a growing pool of water. The medical team instantly surrounded Ryan blocking him from Seth's view.
Seth leapt forward in a panic. "Oh God, Ryan!"
Ken held him back. "Shh, let them work."
Seth turned towards Ken frantically. Seth's eyes felt huge he didn't feel like he could blink. "Is he breathing? It didn't look like he was breathing!"
Ken sat him down again. "I need you to stay calm Seth. Let them work. He's in good hands and we need to take care of you now."
The boat shuddered as it turned and started to race back to the harbor. Seth suddenly felt exhausted. It was all too much. What happened? They we're just going sailing. How...why did this happen? The world started to spin and he felt himself lurch forward.
"Whoa, there kiddo." Ken's arms wrapped around his and helped him to the deck. "Let's get you lying down for a while."
Ken worked swiftly the entire time he spoke with a calm soothing voice. Seth wished fervently for his parents. They would know what to do. Ken tucked heated pads under Seth's arms and between his legs.
"Seth, do you hurt anywhere?"
Seth didn't answer as Ken poked and prodded him. But he groaned despite himself as Ken ran his hands over his ribs.
"Well, buddy I think you have some broken ribs. I'm going to call an ambulance to meet us at the shore I think you'll need to go in with your brother. Just to get checked out a bit." Ken smiled.
"My Mom and Dad?"
"We'll let them know."
Seth craned his neck again trying to get a glimpse of Ryan.
Sorry gang, just a snippet there will be more when I get back from the San Diego comic convention
Maybe I'll see Seth and Ryan there heeheehee.
