0 Celsius: To thaw a frozen heart novel Chapter 7

He just dived into the pool and that also deliberately near me .

I need to talk to him

At least I need to try

"Andro ....I mean.....Sir...I...I...was serious when...I said ...i'll do anything for your forgiveness...please give ..me a chance"

.

.

There was silence for a minute as he kept staring at me

"Okay then jump into the pool"

He said straight without blinking an eye

He knows I can't swim

Then why is he asking me to jump into the pool..

Is he testing me?

"What happened Miss Brown? Afraid? Are we?"

I looked into his eyes to see he was dead serious

I took small steps towards the pool

This is my only chance to get forgiven

I have to do it.

With each step I took my heart beat accelerated.

When I was a few steps away from the pool I saw blue water and thought of how deep it went scared me

It is very very deep...If I jump I will die

I thought

"Come on ..this is your only chance"

Andro said leaning on the wall of the pool with his elbows resting on the edge of the pool.

I looked at him and debated what to do....my legs were shaking and I don't know if another panic attack was coming

"I......I.....am.....af... afraid...of...water...I can't..."

For a second Andro had a look of concern on his face but next I felt a strong grip on my ankle and I was pulled towards the pool

It was so sudden that I didn't even got a second to hold on my breath and as my body landed on the surface of water large amount of water entered my mouth blocking my oxygen supply.

I moved my hands frantically trying to find anything to hold onto

Hoping for anything but was met only with water.

I opened my eyes to see blue colour everywhere

My view was hazy but still through it I could see bright sunrays over me.

I tried reaching for them...moving my arms legs everything but all in vain.

All of a sudden I felt myself coming on the surface of it,I sucked little amount of oxygen I could but before I could breathe I was again pulled back into the depths of water.

Sunlight was going further and further away,

My body was sinking deeper and deeper ,

My lungs were exploding and the little amount of air that I had managed to hold till now was escaping as bubbles.

My attempt ceased from exhaustion

My eyes got heavy and as I was going to accept death a strong grip on my arm pulled me back.
