Chapter 2
Previously: Noelle looked at me with tears in her eyes and whispered to me,
"What happened to you Reed?
I felt that I could tell Noelle the truth; I knew I could tell her anything, I just didn't know how to get started. By now, everyone was crowded around me, dying to know what happened. I was crying, from all the drama and the exhaustion. Noelle hugged me tighter," Reed, I need you to tell me what happened, so we can sort all of this out, please Reed, I want to help you."
I opened my mouth to reply, when Poppy stalked up towards the group snivelling and wiping her eyes. She was acting ridiculously, she wasn't even with Upton when she walked in on us, and anyway Upton left me to talk to her, shouldn't they have everything sorted out? She was glaring at me, could it have been her who pushed me off the boat?
Everyone leaned in to hear what I was going to say, "Well, when Poppy and Mrs Ryan walked in on me and Upton..." I paused and blushed at this point as everyone laughed, "Upton ran off after Poppy to see if she was alright. I got annoyed, He just left me, the person he said he loved to go after his ex-girlfriend. I went up to the deck to get some air. I was feeling stupid and hurt that I was that forgettable to him, and that was when I realised that I had fallen for a player.
I was leaning against the railing, just thinking, when I could smell something musky, I didn't have a chance to think about it before the person pulled at the necklace Noelle lent me. I couldn't breathe, so when I was pushed I didn't do anything about it. The necklace cut my neck as it was ripped off so I shouted. As I fell I tried to grab for the railing, but I missed it. I screamed as loud as I could but the engine was louder, there was no way anyone could have heard me.
All I could think of just before I hit the water was that someone had tried to kill me, again. I heard cheering and squealing and then I started to sink. I took off my dress, hoping that less weight would help keep me alive longer. I could feel myself slipping away; I thought that this time, I wasn't going to be as lucky, that these were my last moments alive. I thought of everything in my life I had enjoyed and everyone that I loved. I closed my eyes, finally admitting defeat when Upton grabbed me and dragged me back towards the yacht. You all know the rest."
Noelle was hugging me and crying hysterically, Dash was trying to comfort her and Taylor and Kiran were sitting in silence, crying. Everyone else was standing nearby, in shock. I found Upton's eyes and saw regret and guilt. He caught me looking and mouthed "We need to talk"
