Chapter 5: Drowning Again
Mom decide the beach would cheer me up, so we rented a room in a resort not too far away. Fun. Not.
I love water, but we have a strange relationship. Water hates me. Oh and I almost forgot. My brother invited his friends, Castiel and Lysander. And just to top it off Nathaniel and Amber ( his sister who is a big pain) and her friends (who are also pains) came with their parent.
And so the argument began. Amber and her friends left to sunbathe, while Nathaniel stayed with us. It wasn't long until He and Castiel began arguing. Soon Rosalya and Leigh (her boyfriend) came and suggested we swim.
"No." I simply stated.
"Can I go back to my room now?" I asked Andy.
"How many times do I have to tell you? Mom says I have to keep you out here until sunset." he said annoyed.
"I'm hot. It's too hot out here." I complained. I hoped to annoy him enough so he'd get mad and send me inside with the key.
"Not my fault. Mom bought you a perfectly fine bathing suit and you wore that…" he said gesturing to my blue water-proof shorts and blue tank top.
"I don't see a point in bathing suits unless you gonna swim." I said. My mistake.
"You are going swimming." he said
"I'm not."
"Yes you are." this went on for a couple minutes until he looked at Castiel and gave the evilest smirk I've ever seen. Castiel returned it.
I knew it would happen, but it happened too fast. Andy and Castiel grabbed me and started carrying me to the water.
"ANDY, NO! NO ANDY, DON'T!" I begged. I couldn't say it. In a matter of seconds they had me in swinging position.
"1...2...3!" Andy yelled as I flew into the water. I screamed at the top of my lungs. But we were in a special area of the beach, one we all found. One with no lifeguard.
My screams were soon drowned by water and my head started to throb in pain waves pushed me under, even though the water was gentle. For the second time in my life I heard the voice, the voice of someone singing some sort of hymn.
"Take me away my lord,
Take me away.
Take me into your kingdom,
Take me to your home.
I can't go on much longer,
I've been stripped of all I love.
Take me away my lord,
My time here is done."
I pushed myself up from the water and screamed. My head bobbed up and down and soon I realized I was farther than I thought. This how I got my psychic abilities. I almost drowned. I knew how to swim but the voice came and I panicked.
Soon the people on the beach came and tried to pull me in. At the time I thought they were angels trying to kill me. I kept on shouting:
"No! I'm not ready! I'm not ready! Help! Not again, please not again!" but soon I blacked out all together. I woke up in my bed. The resort bed I mean. I stretched and heard talking.
"Just because she almost drowned doesn't mean anything!" It was Andy's voice.
"Your sister was screaming 'Not again'. She's obviously traumatized. it was Lysander.
"He's right, something must have happened. She was clutching her head again. Nathaniel.
"She said she has migraines often.." Andy said.
"It seems like something's going on, you need to talk to her or something, I'm not helping lug her up here again." Castiel.
By this time I was sitting straight up. I walked to the door and opened it. Andy, Nathaniel, Lysander and Castiel looked at me.
"What's going on?" I asked.
"You almost drowned." Andy mumbled. His face was scratched up. I had a feeling I did it.
"Wheres everyone else?" I asked.
"Here!" Rosalya said coming out of the kitchen with Leigh.
Only then I noticed everyone was back in their own clothes, the boys now wore tee shirts and Rosalya wore a tee and slipped on shorts like Amber and her friends who I now noticed was in the back corner on a couch.
"What were you singing?" Lysander asked.
"When, singing what?" I asked
"On the beach, you were singing in your unconsciousness." Andy vaguely explained.
"Something about going to heaven, thats my best guess."Nathaniel finished.
My head started throbbing. The voice was me?
"I…" I was cut off. Mom walked in the door with other adults who seemed worried, yet slightly angry.
"Didn't I tell you to stay at the beach?!" my mom asked loudly. The other parents faces showed agreement.
"Amber, Nathaniel?" A man growled. He was their dad, I didn't trust him.
"It wasn't my fault daddy." she said quickly. "It was her's." she said pointing a finger at me.
"Lily?" my mother demanded.
"I hardly…"I started. I was interrupted by my head starting to throb. I grabbed my skull with one hand and held my mouth closed with the other. I felt instantly nauseous. I ran from the room and to the toilet. I'm sure that when I say that thats all they heard from me that I'm right.
"Mom, it's my fault I was trying to cheer her up…" I vomited as I listened to my brother. Rosalya came to help me.
"Me and Castiel threw her in the water and…" he paused and flinched as I vomited again.
"And I don't what happened but she started drowning…" I vomited again and Rosalya gave me a damp cloth to clean my mouth.
"We had to take her in here because she totally blacked out…" I finally stopped and cleaned up my face.
"And I asked them to help me drag her up here because the elevator broke." when he finished everyone was silent. I sighed.
Everyone left and we packed. We chose to leave tomorrow and skip a day of this week long vacation. I was fine with it all. In the morning we left. I felt awful. Not because I was sick or I ruined the vacation, but because all I heard that night was the hymn like song. This time though, the voice was my dad's.
