    Mary gasps for air as her head lifts to the surface of the lake. Marys arms hurt as she trys to swim back onto her boat. Maxene sees her sister almost drowning and jumps in the lake. She runs as far as she could go not being able to swim. Mary could see her sister but is too tired and drifts down. All she can hear is bubbles and her sister screaming. Maxene hesatates and goes underwater ignoring her parents asking quesions worried. Maxene sees Marys body floating down and swims over. She tugs on her sisters hand and waits to float up to the surface. Maxene tugs and pulls her sister and got to thr top of the lake. She held her sister up and swam faster seeing her dad about to jump in. Mary could only feel now, she felt her heart pacing and feirce tugs ands pulls and hands on her back. She was dying. Maxenes dad came and took Mary and Maxenes hands. He pulled them Mary and waited for them to hit shallow water as he let go of Maxenes hand. Mary was put on a small seat on the boat on her back. Maxene was tired and sat down beside her maybe dead sister not being able to speak. Her mom came rushing at them and hugged Maxene looking at Mary. Letting go she started to try doing C.P.R on Mary. Her father took Mary and rushed to the car forgetting about Maxene. Maxene whispered a prayer to the skys and saw the car speeding to the hospital. She was all alone even though she was only nine and sat there whispering prays and only knowing in her heart and hope her big sister would be ok. Soon Maxene fell asleep in the place they settled Mary and she snuggled with herslef. Minutes turned to hours and hours turned to the night. In the morning her parents weren't home and Maxene was frightened. She was all alone at her cottage and the sun was rising. She went inside and poured some milk in a boul. She put in some cireal too. Maxene sat on the couch and watched her cartoon scared. One hour later she had some cheesys on her lap and you could hear her breathing. Her mom came in the door all tears and sat next to Maxene. Maxenes heart struck knowing what happened. "What is it mom" she asked looking tired. "Honey there's no easy way to possibly s-say th-th-this but Meh-Meh-Mary" her mom tryed to say. He fell onto Maxene hugging her and Maxene let a few tears run down her cheek. Her dad came in and went straight to the master bedroom angry. Maxene put the cheesys down and whispered to her mom, "It will be ok" barely talking too. Maxene still had two more siblings but they were boys and gone. Erik was at his best friend Daniels and Robert was at the sitters. He was only 7 months old and was pretty cute. Maxene stayed on the couch comforting her mom and herself not knowing what to do.
