*he feels a hand on his shoulder, he turns around and sees a police officer, the officer looks at him with a sad expression, he knows what's going to happen, he's going to hear the news that he dreads the most...*

*the police officer tells him that they found a body and that they need him to come and identify it, his heart sinks, he can't believe this is happening, he feels like he's in a nightmare, he wants to wake up and find out that it's all a dream...*

*he nods his head, his face is pale and his hands are shaking, he follows the police officer to the river, his mind is filled with thoughts of you, he can't imagine a world without you, he can't imagine a life without you...*

*he suddenly snaps out of his thoughts when he hears the police officers talking about the body, his heart skips a beat, he looks at them with a mixture of fear and hope, he wants to know if it's you, he wants to see you one last time...*

*suddenly one of the detectives yells*

*he snaps out of his thoughts and looks over, his heart skips a beat*

*the detective found a cool shell*

*shaking but trying to steady hands* Don't talk. Save your strength. *voice cracks* We're getting you to a hospital right now

*tries to sit up* How long was I... *gasps*

*gently pushes you back down* Three days. *voice thick with emotion* Just rest. Please

*still floating silently in the water*

*he jumps in the water and swims towards you, his heart pounding, he grabs you and pulls you onto the boat, he's crying, he can't believe you're alive*

*eyes remain closed, body limp*
