Clearing My Head ( Savvanah )

[mathew caleb craft]

Matt pulled of the road into the camp ground parking lot, and got off his bike placing his helmet on the seat then pulled his hoodie over his head, and started to walk to the lake. Matt needed to clear his head, and think about how the day was going it had been a long day, and he just needed to think and be alone. Matt turned down a trail he knew very good he usually came here to swim, but that wasn't what he was planning on doing today. Matt walked got to the end of the trail and started to walk along the lake he knew where he was going he was just hoping no one was already there.

Matt go to his favorite spot at the lake, and didn't see anyone there so he walked over to the picnic table, and sat down. Matt had a lot to think about, he never thought being in his senior year he would have so much to do every thing he heard from his friend was it was laid back, and easy sailing, but for Matt it was just like any other year he had sports, and he still had to think of a college he wanted to go to. Matt let out a deep sign and sat there at the picnic table.

Matt put his hand in his hoodie it was getting cold he liked the cold, but he didn't like riding his motorcycle in the could so this mint he was going to have to start driving his truck more often. Matt looked around the lake for people or anything. The lake usually had people ever where, but since it was starting to get cold people where staying out of the lake, and spending more time at other place. Matt sat there at the picnic table watching the water, and thinking about how the day had went.

Savvanah sat at the edge of the lake holding a piece of glass and staring at it very carefully. She was thinking hard, debating whether she should suicide jumping into the water or cutting her wrist with the glass. Our dear savannah was in a suicidal mood thanks to her dear step mother who tortured her in the morning and made her cry more than ever. She was new to town and being new to the town wasn't helping her in keeping away from the pain that her step mother could give her. She hardly got along with anyone in their family except her dad who was in navy and always in abroad countries and never there for Savannah to take care of her. Her mother died when she was born and her father married another woman who never treated Savannah right. Her nanny took care as she grew up.

Today her step mother had abused Savannah and beaten her up, there were bruises on her arms that anyone could see and she couldn't help but cry in agony, hating her life and wanting to end it. Cutting her wrist was going to be very painful and experiencing more pain was the last thing she wanted to deal with. And jumping in water was going to be little less painful as she didn't know how to swim she could easily drown in water. Standing up she took off her shoes and took a deep breathe, Tossing the glass on the grass she jumped into the water before looking around for a last good bye. Easily she was able to drown into water and she found herself growing breathless. And her senses were fading as she grew unconscious. Dying seemed peacefully. She hoped she was going to heaven. Five minutes had passed and she lay at the bottom of the lake, unconscious.

As Matt looked down the lake looking for anyone that was walked he caught a glimpse of a girl that was walking into the lake. It was to cold to be swimming but Matt took it that the girl was tough, but after about 2 minutes of the girl not coming up from the water Matt started to worry. So he jumped up from the picnic table, Taking of his Hoddie, and his shirt he started to run to the water. Matt didn't think he was going to end up saving someones life today, but he couldn't just let the girl drowned. Matt kicked off his shoes as he got to the water, and then dove into it. The water felt like needles hitting his skins Matt grabbed the girl, and pulled her close to him. If he stayed in the water any longer Matt's muscle would freeze up and he wouldn't be able to carry the girl out of it.

Matt finally got to the shore, and picked the girl up in his arms, and walked to the picnic table this is where his dad being a cop, and him making mat take all the CPR classes could come in handy. Matt layed the girl down on the table after moving his hoodie and shirt. Matt knew the girl would be cold so he had to save something warm for her. After setting the girl down Matt rubbed the girls chest, then put his hand closely to her mouth to see if she was breathing. Matt didn't know what to do from here he was panicking. Matt calmed down a little and said " Are you okay please wake up.'' Matt didn't have his phone with him so he couldn't call anyone, and there was no one else on the lake so it was just him and this new girl. Matt let out a breath and started to push on the girls chest then without thinking he put his lips on the girls and started to give her mouth to mouth. Matt pulled away and started to push on the girls chest again.

She didn't wanted to live. there was no reason of living. dying was her only option to get rid of all the pain she suffered. She knew if she complained to her dad about her step mother and step siblings behavior, he would be very disappointed with her step mother and she didn't wanted to be a cause of fight between them. She was happy only when her father was happy and he was happy with his wife so it mattered a lot to her. She didn't know why her step mother and siblings hated her so much. She was actually a very nice person but very argumentative. Now that she had decided to die, thinking about why they hated her so much wasn't needed. She had it in her mind that once she was dead, she would only wake up in heaven and not hell because she never did anything that bad to be a sinner. Infarct she belonged to a rather religious so heaven was the place for.

She was unconscious so she didn't know what was going on with her. She felt something push onto her chest again and again and she sputtered out water. Catching onto her breathe, she flickered open her eyes, with the hopes to be welcomed in heaven but she saw a face of a shirt less male. '' Is this heaven?'' she asked before looking around. The place looked very familiar. it looked like the lake where she attempt to suicide. this was when she realized she wasn't dead but alive and saved by the young man. She pulled herself up and glared at the boy. '' Why did you save me? she asked with bitterness in her tone.

Matt let out a sigh of relief when the girl started to talk, and then he went back into shock when the girl asked why he had saved her that meant she wanted to die. Matt couldn't have just sat there and let the girl die it wasn't something he could live with. Matt feel down on his butt siting in the sand and looked at the girl, and said " I saved you because i couldn't just sit here, and just let you die. Matt got back to his feet and walked over to where he had kicked his shoe's off and grabbed them. Matt was really could, and being shirtless wasn't helping at all. He walked back to the picnic table where the girl was at and sat down. Matt grabbed his hoodie and his shirt and said " Here please put these on i dint want you catching a cold.''

Matt sat there thinking of what to do he didn't know this girl he didn't even know her name and he had practically kissed her just now, but he was just glad she was still alive he wouldn't have been able to live with his self if he would have just let the girl die. Matt was wearing basketball shorts so they would be dry in no time, but Matt needed a shirt or something. He looked up at the girl and said" I don't care if you hate me for doing what i did, But i would really like to know your name.''

When her expectations couldn't be fulfilled, her temper was messed up. She wanted to die and just die to get rid of all the pain she was suffering from her abusive step mother and siblings. Her life was hell. If only she had some place to go she'd move out. She didn't earn too much to afford a room on rent for herself and neither her dad would be pleased to see that his little girl wanted to move out. There will be a lot of questioning and family drama, which was the least thing she wanted to deal with, hence she decided to stay and face it. compromises, oh hell, she hated them. She wanted to live her life in her way but for that she had to struggle a lot and with no good earning, she could get nowhere in her life. Only when she was done with her studies and having a good job and pay, she could take decisions to live her life in her own way. But with all the sufferings she was going through, in order to put an end to it, she tried drowning herself but it didn't work out.

She shook her head and closed her eyes. This was irritating. No where she could have her peace. '' Seriously, you didn't have to be so nice and be my hero.'' there was bitterness in her tone. She didn't take his hoodie and tossed it back to him. '' No thanks I don't need it. she stood onto her feet and brushed her hair with her hand. She was all wet and numb. The water was damn cold. Damn. her luck was bad. she was on her way to heaven, just inches away from dying but someone had to play the hero part. She looked down at Matt and sighed. Boys were so dense. Damn it. '' Did I say that I hate you? I'm just not pleased with what you did mister whatsoever your name is. My name? why do you want to know my name?'' she asked. She always tried to be extra careful around strangers and tried not to be too friendly. It wasn't in her nature.

Matt didn't know what to think about what was going on. He sat there as she threw the hoodie back in his face. This girl had a temper, but so did Matt if she wanted to be cold hearted and not even give so much as a thank you Matt was going to be the same way. He got up of his feet, and with the same motion he pointed at the water. Matt looked at the girl and took a step toward her. " If you want to try it again be my guest. I don't know why you want to do it, but nothing is worth a pretty girl like you killing her self. Matt took the hoodie, and put it around the girl he didn't care how much she didn't like it, but he knew she was cold. Matt didn't know what else to say to the girl she was beautiful why would she want to take her life. He looked down at the ground and said " My name is Mathew, but people call me Matt."

Matt pulled the girl close to him with the hoodie he didn't want to seem like a weird person, But he was cold and she the hoodie. Matt looked down at the girl his heart was racing, and it wasn't because of the cold. He let the girl go if she didnt want to be close to him she could leave, But Matt was hoping she could stay to keep him warm. He looked away from the girl and said " I would really like to know your name.

Savannah knew she was being a cold hearted bitch towards the guy who saved her life. It wasn't fair. He had saved her life, for heaven's sake, that was a good thing. If not for Savannah, but for everyone else. He didn't know her back story so he stood on the right path but she wasn't wrong either. Only when he back answered her she realized that she had misbehaved with him. Her life was so complicated. Only if she knew how to deal with all the complications and sort out things, she wouldn't want to suicide, instead live a happy life. His tone brought her to senses and she realized that she was wrong to be so bitter around him. She shook her head and looked away. '' You don't know anything about my life. I may seem very stupid but trust me, other than dying, I've no other option, or may I say, reasons. '' she said. Her tone was sad, full of the pain that was burning her heart.She knew she shouldn't tell him anything but she cared a lot of what people would think of her and she just wanted him to know that she had a reason behind what she was about to do so she wasn't really insane. When the boy put the hoodie around her, she was taken aback. She could get in a fight with him physically, that was too risky. He was tall, muscular and big. She gulped, her eyes could tell that she was shaken from the fear of getting in trouble. '' Why do you care?'' she asked, looking into his eyes. '' Aren't strangers supposed to be like dangerous?'' she was new to town so she hardly knew about the people but always had it in her mind that strangers were dangerous, thats what her nanny taught her.

When he pulled her closer, she looked straight into his eyes and then away. She didn't struggle for him to let go of her but he left her and she moved away. '' Matthew, my name is Savannah. But I'll not tell you my first name because I don't want you to go complain about me that I tried suicding, you know if you try doing that, I can get in real trouble but I'll not spare you either for that. '' she rambled. She knew she was talking too much all at once but it was mostly because there were a lot of thoughts crashing in her mind as to why he was so curious to know about her.

As the girl moved away Matt put his head down he was to could to be stand around. Sat down at the picnic table, and looked at the girl and said " I don't know why you would try to kill your self, but you must have a really good reason.'' Matt put his arms around his body trying to keep warm. He really didn't know the girls story, but it had to be really bad if she wanted to end her life and Matt couldn't just let her do that. " You don't have to worry about me telling anyone i wouldn't do that to you, and I'm not dangerous trust me. '' He sat there looking at the girl thinking about what he could say or do to make the girl feel better. Matt looked around at the lake then back at the girl and asked " Can we please start over and just be friends?''

Matt let out a deep sigh all he wanted to do was get warm and maybe get Savannah to open up to him she was a very pretty girl. Matt was going to try his hardest to make this girl his friend that's all she need was someone to open up to. Matt looked around trying not to look at only the girl then he thought of something to say " I just want you to know even though I'm a stranger to you i would like to be a friend. I really like to make new friends, and if you need someone to talk to I am really good at talking.''

[natalie]

'' I do but trust me, you don't want to know. '' for some reason she felt like she was really ready to share it with the stranger. Her head was flooded with a lot of junk and wirries that she needed to get out of her head and the only way to do that was to share it with someone. she hardly had any friend so she had never gotten the chance to share anything with anyone. She nodded her head when he stopped talking and told her that he wasn't dangerous. She felt that she could trust him. She could see him shivering and feeling cold so she took off his hoodie and gave it back to him. '' You need this more than I do, Mister Matthew. And I'll be back. Just getting changed. '' she said and ran off . Near the shore was her bag and in it was her hoodie. She carried it around with her just in case she didn't wanted to return home till late and it was cold so it could keep her warm. She hid herself behind the three and took off her shirt, standing in her bra and then pulled on her hoodie and zipped it up. And walked back to him and put her shirt on the chair and looked at him. He asked her if they could start over and be friends. She didn't know why he was so interested to be friends with her but since she was new, she took up the offer thinking it would be better to know at least about someone. '' I don't know. I hardly have any friend because I'm really weird but if you really want to be my friend, you'll have to show me around this town because i'm new here. And promise me that you will never break my trust and poach my heart. '' those were two conditions for the deal. She was starting to be a little nice to him because he made her realize that being a bitch wasn't really going to help her to be a better person or have a better life.

Matt smiled as the girl handed him the hoodie he put it back on, and then pulled his shoe's on at least he wouldn't be cold on his way home. When the girl ran off to to change me started to blush a little he really didn't know why but the girl was cute, and Matt felt comfortable around her so he figured it would be easy to talk to her. Matt putt his hands in his hoodie thinking about what the girl said about showing her around he could do that he liked to hang out with new people whenever he could so showing her around would be a problem. Then she started talking about not breaking her heart Matt didn't really know what he could do that would be so bad he sat there for a little trying to think of what to say.

Matt looked up at Savannah and said " I can show you around this town you will know it like the back off your hand I have lived here since i was a kid my dad moved back here after he retired from pro football, and know he is a cop, So if i can tell you where something is my dad can. About the other thing i would never do that to you, but i want you to know i have a girlfriend she wont care about anyone this or even us hanging out i just want to let you know that before hand though.'' Matt looked down to the ground he didn't want Savannah to think he already thought she liked him or something he just didn't want to lead her on.
