HOW TO SAVE A LIFE
the Rachel Gattina way
My relationship with Cooper is just great, fantastic! He's thrilling, romantic and loves to surprise me! Whenever we're in his car I can feel the rush (no, not just from making out in car)...his love to cross limits and really speed up. I know that he wants to make me feel comfortable by doing the things I love too. I believe that is why he decided to drive off the bridge and land in the water… he knows about my undying love for it! In the car and in the water...it's so cosy, just perfect! My guy just knows how to combine my love for swimming and his love for racing… we're just a perfect match…
While I'm relaxing in the car, sitting in the seat and enjoying this perfect moment, I notice that Cooper is kind of quiet…
'Honey? You still alive, baby?'
All I hear is water, and screaming somewhere far from here… no sign from Cooper.
'Oww…damn…'
Oh help, what if he isn't breathing? CPR is so not my thing, we just ate tacos (okay only he ate them, I don't eat anymore) and he has taco-breath!
I keep my nose closed and make an attempt of CPR, but I notice pretty quickly that it doesn't make any sense when I can't keep his nose closed. Damn CPR and taco-breath! Why can't he just eat a peppermint after we visited our Taco place, he knows I would only give him mouth-to-mouth if he'd had good breath!
Through the blurry water I believe I see Nathan swimming towards us. He's looking kind of fancy though, who decides to swim in a suit? Jeez, just get rid of it and go skinny-dipping already!
Oooh…that's right! It's his wedding day! Why would he be swimming? Running away from Haley already? Or… he saw us get off the bridge and fall in the water and now he's trying to save us! How nice of him, chivalry isn't dead; he wants to save the day by not letting me drown!
Oh wait, his beloved uncle is sitting right next to me, in a slightly uncomfortable position (we never tried out this one). No way! He's not responding to anything I say!
Hey, that rhymed! I'm getting smarter each day! Maybe I should study poetry!
Oh, back to Nathan already… come on, dude! Swim like a man! Are you your uncle's nephew or what, stamina must run in the family! Yes, good boy… you're almost there!
Nathan signs to me; I don't understand what he means though… Ay, he's an impatient man, he just opens the door! He gets Cooper out of the car and signs that I have to get out of the car too. Is he out of his mind? I love it here! A comfortable seat, surrounded by water, it is like being on a tropical island!
'It's okay, Nathan! I'm quite comfortable here, I'll come up later! Enjoy your wedding!'
Ah, that is taken care of. Am I good at saving lives or what?
