This weekend was going to be great, my boyfriend Brantley was taking my to the lake. I’m staying with him and his family. They have a boat that’s great for fishing, and tubing. We got there around 8 pm Friday night. While we were unloading the car Sawyer(Brantley’s little brother) wanted to go down to the water so I walked him down there. He walked along the edge of the water and chased the minnows around. The next morning we got up early and went fishing. I caught 4 bass, Sawyer caught 2, and Brantley only caught 1. We made fun of him for only catching one but every time we made fun of him he said, “I only caught one because I was too busy trying to help y’all. Sawyer was afraid of the bait and I had to help him with that every other cast, and you were scared to touch the fish.” He was right and we both knew it, so we stopped making fun of him. We came in after fishing we ate and talked to mom and dad. We waited until after lunch, but then we went tubing. Sawyer was up first, he thought we were going so fast, but he was so small we couldn’t go that fast or he would get hurt. Then it was Brantley’s turn. Dad was going like 30 miles an hour, and for tubing that’s fast. Brantley held on for dear life, but he got flung off. We got him back in the boat and it was my turn. I said, “Don’t take it easy on me. I can handle anything you can throw at me.” I honestly thought I could, but dad thought otherwise, he said, “Alright, but when I throw you off I don’t want to hear any crying.” I just shook my head and got in the tube. I was holding on and the rope pulled tight, I started to glide across the water, then the real fun happened. We hit the first set of bumps and I held on. Then dad made a full 360, I almost lost my grip, but I wasn’t giving up that easy. I quickly pulled myself back up onto the tube, and I did it real quick, just not quick enough. We hit a bump and I was airborne. I hit the water like a strong hard slap, and I was out cold. Brantley realized I was off the tube and told dad to turn around, but they couldn’t find me. I was face down, and I was calling for then. Thankfully Sawyer saw my red life jacket, without it I would have drowned. After Sawyer saw me he screamed, “There she is!”, and he point at me. Dad started to drive over to me in idle speed, but Brantley knew something was wrong. One of the good things about Brantley is he is a lifeguard. He saw I was still on my back, even though I should have turned over to get air. He knew that dad had a rule that you weren’t allowed to stand up while the boat was running, but he knew what needed to be done. He stood up and started running even though dad said, “Stop! We are you doing? Sit back down!”, but Brantley couldn’t answer him, he had to save me. Brantley run and dive into the water, he was swimming as hard and as fast as he could. After he jumped out the boat was shifted off path so dad had to adjust the angle. Brantley final got to me and he grabbed me and flipped me over he screamed, “Dad hurry! You have to help her! Get her in the boat!”, and dad said, “Hunny take the wheel!” He jumped up and ran to the front of the boat. When they got close enough dad pulled me over the side, and Sawyer helped Brantley in. Dad said, “She isn’t breathing!”, Brantley checked my pulse, and it wasn’t there. He immediately started chest compressions, when dad said, “Hunny take us home, FAST!” Brantley did 30 compressions and then 2 breaths, before he finished with that first set Sawyer was crying and saying, “Don’t die, I love you, please just wake up.” After the 2 breaths he started compressions again, and I coughed up so much water, but I was alive. Brantley made sure I was ok, and he was so worried about me he took me home the next day.
