This is the second chapter after Swept away! Hope you enjoy!
The castaways glanced around at each other, hoping for a chance that Daley was coming out of the water, or just slow to react. There was no sign of her.
Melissa saw something floating in the water. It was……. a life jacket.
"Look! Over there in the water! Its Daley's life jacket!" she screamed.
"No." thought Nathan. "Please No."
"She's underwater?" gasped Taylor. "People can't breathe underwater!"
"That's why I'm going to save her!" answered Nathan, and he ran to the shore and struggled through the heavy waves. In a few seconds, he dived underneath where the life jacket was floating above.
The remaining five looked out into the sea, and hoped that the other two would come out alive, or at all.
"She's not breathing!" came a cry from the water. "But she might be unconscious!"
Nathan struggled against the heavy current, and dragged Daley to shore.
"Get the first aid bag!"
"Lay her in the shelter!"
"Make her alive!"
Nathan carried her to the shelter. Daley was still not breathing.
"Please be alright, please be alright," Nathan kept on muttering.
"Does anyone know CPR?" Lex asked.
"I do," replied Nathan.
The others backed away to give Nathan a little space.
Every time Nathan breathed into Daley's mouth, he thought please be alive, please be alive!
Nathan lifted up, and at that moment, Daley coughed up a load of sea water. She sat up and looked at Nathan.
"I think we should give Daley a little while to recover!" said Eric. The others walked away, and took of their life jackets.
"You rescued me, and saved my life, Nathan." Daley said. "Thank you."
Nathan smiled back at Daley. "Just glad you're back with us!" I don't know what I would've done if you weren't here. Nathan thought. Well, at least he thought he did.
Daley reached out, placed her hand softly on his cheek, and kissed him. Nathan wrapped his hands around her waist, and pulled her closer, deepening the kiss. After a few moments, they pulled apart.
"I love you." said Daley.
"I love you too." replied Nathan.
