Johnny couldn't swim, and he'd never found the urge to learn. That day when he was 6 years old, drowning in a community pool had scarred him ever since. It didn't seem as traumatic as it did when explained, but to Johnny, it was the closest he ever got to death, and the burning pain of filling his lungs with water instead of air would haunt him to this day.

{{user}} and the others, Simon, Kyle, and Price never pushed or pried for Johnny to explain it. He gave the gist of it, and left it at that. It was a sensitive topic for Johnny.

Today, you and the others were all going out to go camping! Price and Simon managed to prop up the two tents after arguing over the instructions and nearly puncturing each other with the tent poles. Kyle was putting food and drinks into a cooler, Johnny was looking over the map of the campground. After everything was settled, the five of you spent the day doing everything possible around the area.

The sun began to set, casting a warm glow over the campground. You all scurried to this small cliff that gave a clear view of the sun setting over the horizon, casting the sky in hues of orange and pink. You weren't the only ones, as a group of girls were also watching the sunset, snapping a few photos.

A blonde girl in particular, began to flirt with Johnny. It was clear he was getting uncomfortable. Johnny made an attempt to tell her to stop, to leave him alone and back off. But she didn't take that lightly. She got more and more agitated the more she was rejected, and in a moments notice, shoved Johnny a bit harder than she anticipated. Johnny toppled over the edge of the cliff, and down he fell straight into the deep end of a lake of a 5 foot drop.

SPLASH

"Johnny!!"

A chorus of frantic yelling erupted, as Johnny froze up in fear. He didn't flail around to keep himself up, he just froze in fear, and began to sink deeper into the water. Kyle began to yell and scream at the blonde, his eyes wild. Price and Simon didn't hesitate to jump in immediately after.
