Falling Stars 6

“Anya and I went to the beach, and I went 

surfing and got hit by a wave.” 

“I heard someone say ‘brother, hang in there‘ 

and gave me the jacket and dragged me to the shore.” 

“We were far away, and I passed out once on the shore.” 

“When I woke up, I was in the hospital, and Anya said she saved me and got hurt, and showed me her bandages.” 

He started getting angry again. 

“Tell me, who saved me! You can’t swim, and

you have no scar, you’re lying!” 

Anya was guilty, and said: “I saved you, with the board! We were the only ones there, who else? I healed the scar, don’t deny my help!” 

She cried, and my brother was speechless. 

He wasn’t clear–headed, and she was crying, so he started to let her off. 

“Okay, I was wrong to blame you!” 

Anya cried and hugged him. 

She didn’t see the doubt in his eyes.

The next few days, my parents started 

searching for me around the boat, but 

nothing. 

My brother got Anya to sleep and gave her 

phone to an assistant. 

“Fix this, I need to know the truth.” 

The assistant left, and he called a number. 

“Where are the people I hired hiding, and tell 

them to stay there, or I’ll arrest them!” 

He hung up, and looked at the ocean and 

prayed.

“Chloe, you haven’t been found, does that 

mean you’re okay?” 

“Where can you go? Come back…” 

Dad collapsed, clutching his chest. 

“Honey!” 

Mom yelled, and my brother ran to him, 

yelling for the doctor. 

The doctor ran to heal my father. 

The doctor said: “Mr. Lancaster had a heart attack, but is okay. Don’t let him get shocked again, he’ll get another heart attack.”

Mom clutched his hand. 

“What could have made him freak out?” 

My brother took his phone and called the number. 

They said they found the men. 

One got hit by a shark, and lost a leg. 

He was saved by a boat, but it was too late. 

After a day, he was found. 

He gave in, and said Anya wanted them to put 

on a show.

For the money, it wasn’t too hard to do.

My brother hung up and kicked Anya’s door 

open, grabbing her from the bed. 

“Did you ask those guys to come?” 

Anya lied.
