Chapter 624

~ The Holiday: Part 2 ~
Jake was searching under the water, too dark to see anything, and scrambling with his hands at anything that felt like it could be Daniel. Panic gripped his stomach as he frantically surfaced for air and dove again. He had hit the water without thought the second he knew Danny was in here. No cares that he was maybe too drunk for this and was endlessly searching despite his muscles aching and being so heavy that he could barely move anymore. It felt like it had been hours instead of minutes, and he still hadn’t found him. He wouldn’t give up on him. He wouldn’t lose his best friend this way.
Surfacing for air quicker this time, he took a moment to drag more into his burning lungs and wipe the water from his eyes. He could hear yelling from the deck, crying from Leila, and other voices, but he was fully zoned-in on the surface of the water, looking for any signs of him.
