“Keep it down.” She said, irritated, as she looked to the front seat, where the noise was coming from.
“Fee, we’re almost there.” Aimee whispered in her ear.
“We’re there?” Felicity questioned, as she looked up to the front of the automobile, the sun was blinding, but she could make out two figures sitting in the front seat.
“Of course!” One of the figures said enthusiastically.
“Shut up Ben.” The driver said, “Fee, you ok?” he asked.
“Yeah, I’m fine Clay. Thanks for asking.” She said sarcastically, pulling herself back together.
“You gonna jump?” Asked Ben.
“No! Are you crazy? That place is scary, people who jump in,” Aimee paused for a dramatic effect, “Never come out.” The whole car was hushed for a moment, Clay sliced through the blanket of silence,
“We’re here.” He said flatly, as the black car slowed to a stop. They made their way out of the vehicle and silently walked past the danger signs. Soon enough they made their way to a white sandy beach, overlooking a clear deep bay. Clay sat down, admiring the scenery, it was so beautiful, yet there was a strong sense of mystery and danger. Felicity sat down next to him, wrapping her arms around his chest. He turned and looked into her emerald eyes; his fingers started wrapping through her shoulder length auburn hair. Clay was Felicity’s boyfriend; they’ve been going out for about two years now
“Aren’t you glad you came? It’s beautiful.” He cooed, he traced the words ‘I love you’ on her back with his fingers.
“This place gives me the creeps.” Aimee said, as she took a small step backwards.
“It’s beautiful,” Felicity added. Clay had to talk her into going, but she was glad she came. Ever since Troy had disappeared, she never wanted to go near this place again. The deep water had almost persuaded her to jump a few years ago. Instead it took the life of another, that she deeply cared about.
“I’m going to jump.” Ben declared. Everyone stopped and stared at him.
“Dude, are you serious?” Clay asked, as he pulled Felicity tighter against his body.
“I’m as serious as serious gets.” He said looking straight at the old and rickety dock.
“No, don’t even think about it,” Aimee said sternly.
“I’m going.” Ben said as he started to sprint towards the ancient waterfront.
Everyone looked in terror at the twenty-two year old boy that was about to disappear into the dark blue. Felicity jumped up, and started running after him. She couldn’t have Aimee go through the same agony she had.
“Ben!” She shouted, he turned around and started jogging back to where they were sitting, “Don’t.” Felicity said in a harsh tone.
“What, are you worried about me? If you’re so worried, why don’t you jump in?” He boasted, “I dare you.”
“Fine.” Felicity turned to give Clay a kiss and started a slow walk to the waterfront.
“Fee, Don’t.” Clay shouted, “Please! I take back what I said about you being a chicken!” Clay’s voice was faint in Felicity’s head, this wasn’t about him. It was about her. She strangely felt drawn to this place, to the still dangerous water.
