I stand there watching him walk away from me, I couldn't help but stand there for a split second and daydream “God I'm a pervert.” I think to myself as I try to keep up.

After walking to town I realized how kind everyone was I was greeted by shop owners who heard about the accident from my aunt "God does this woman not keep any secrets?" I think to myself as we walk to the next destination of the tour. We stop at another shop without talking so I decided to be the first to speak up, “Hey Tomas, how old are you?” I ask as he pays for the flowers, Tomas looks at me and sighs “I’m nineteen, and you?” He says as he pushes the door open for me and holds it, “Oh thanks, well I'm 17 but my 18th birthday is next week.” I say as I look down at my feet and walk out.

After we were done looking at all the different shops he decided to get something to snack on, "Hey wait out here for a sec I'm gonna go get something for us to eat real quick." Tomas said as he tells Clay to wait at a bench as Tomas goes into a shop, I looked over to my right to find beautiful scenery, the sun shining off the water and the trees looking as if their dancing in the setting sun, I saw a man on the pier, I was watching him without realizing it And that's when it happened, He jumped I didn’t think anything of it until I asked my self “Why is he jumping into the lake it’s in the middle of October…”  It took me a second for me to realize its October…“SHIT!” I yelled as I stood up.

I ran toward the pier yelling at people to call an ambulance I was running to the end of the pier, and I looked into the water to see if he was okay "Where is he?!" I think to myself as I jump into the freezing water, once I under I couldn’t see him I looked around the water. The only thing I could feel was panic for this stranger's life I swim further down into the lake. The further down I went the more I could hear the screaming, and before long I start to feel light-headed, That's when I black out, I come to when I hear people screaming, I open my eyes to see E.M.S standing over me, I was choking on the water when I could finally breathe I was eminently asked questions "What's your name kid?" One of the E.M.S' s to my right says as she pumps more air into the mask I was wearing It took me a while before I could breathe on my own before I could say anything I look to my left... and that's when I realized How far I was from the dock, "Kid you’re very lucky to still be alive.” One of the Paramedics said as he looked concerned.

I was greeted by yells and people hugging me and telling me that everything was going to be okay, It didn't last long before my aunt's arms found me “CLAY WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU THINKING?!” She yelled at me as she held my shoulders tightly and cried, that's when I saw the look on Tomas's face, he was looking at me as if he was examing me. That's when the thought hit me "I could have died." I couldn’t help but stand there and let my thoughts take control and that's when I felt a lump in my through and then tears started to flow before I knew it I was crying, “Oh honey I know losing your parents were hard but please stay strong for them and all of us we care.” My aunt said as she pulled me closer and held me and that's when I collapsed into her shoulder crying it was the only thing I could do.
