Nick and Brian didn't waste anymore time. They couldn't take a bet on Krista's life. If she was joking, or if she wasn't, she's been under for way to long. They both stepped to the edge of the rocks and jumped out away from the sharp edges.
"KRISTA!" Nick yelled while tredding water.
"KRISTA!" Brian yelled. He then went under and Nick followed.
As Nick opened his eyes under water, he had to adjust to the salt. When his eyes adjusted he saw a pastel purple color in the corner of his eye. It was Krista. He kicked his legs and pumped his arms and reached her.
Please be alright! Please, you don't know how much I like you. Nick said to himself as his long arms tightened around her toned waist. He finally surfaced and Brian was relieved to see that Nick had Krista in his arms. However, she wasn't breathing.
"Nick! Shit, quick. We have to get her on the shore."
"I know! Help me out!" Brian and Nick both swam with Krista lying lifeless in their arms.
When they were able to walk, Nick carried her and Brian supported her head that seemed to be bleeding lightly. Nick layed her down gently on the sand and hovered over her. Kirby and Carly were watching with disbelief.
************************************************
"Kirby, what the hell did you do?"
"I..I..I'm sick of the way she has all the celebrity's wrapped around her finger. I had to do something about it!"
"You killed her!"
"I did not! Her little lifeguard will revive her!"
"You better pray to freaking god your right! Or else, it's murder!"
Kirby took a nervous gulp and watched on from behind the rocks with her friend Carly.

Without wasting anytime, Nick quickly went over what he learned in Scuba Class. He learned how to do CPR. However, this time, it wasn't a joke. This was serious. He felt for a pulse.
"She has a pulse." Nick said nervously.
"Ok, ok, that's good. Come on, Nick. Just do what you learned, buddy." Brian said.
Nick nodded. He looked down at Krista. Her blonde hair was covered in sand and her forhead had a tiny gash. Her eyes were closed shut and water was around her eyes. It looked like she was crying, but it was just ocean water. Nick placed his head over her nose and mouth to feel for breathing. His worst nightmoare was right in front of him.
"She's not breathing!"
"Nick, calm down! Your the only one who knows how to do this. Please, buddy! You have to save her. Their is no one else on this beach." Brian said while placing both hands on the sides of Krista's head.
Nick once again nodded and said a silent prayer. He pinched her nose and tilted her head up. He opened her mouth slightly and placed his mouth over hers. He gave her his first breath. He watched as he breathed air into her and her chest rose.
1..2...3...4...5, breath!" Nick repeated to himself.
He placed his mouth over hers again. "1..2..3..4..5...come on, breath!"
No, she still wasn't breathing. "1...2...3...4...5...Krista, come on baby!"
Nick and Brian began to get nervous. But, Nick was NOT going to give up on Krista. He bent down one more time, but she began to cough. Brian quickly rose her head so she wouldn't choke on the water she was trying to cough up.
"You did it, Nick! YOu did it!" Brian said while smiling.
"Yeah, I did it if she opens her eyes and I see her smile. Then I did it." Nick said while waiting for her to cough up all the water.
She lay back down on the sand but her chest was rising up and down by herself, without Nick's assitance. She raised her hand to her head and winced. She opened her eyes and saw Nick and Brian.
"Nick? Brian? Ow, my head, ohhhhh, my chest."
"Krista! Your going to be ok! Some how, you fell off the rock's over their. But, your allright now! I'm going to carry you to the car and then Brian and I are going to take you to the hospital, ok?" Nick asked.
"But, I didn't fall off the rocks. I didn't!" She said while shaking her head.
"Let's not worry about that now, Krista! Your ok, that's all that matter's." Brian said.
Nick placed one hand under her knees, and one under her armpit and picked her up in his arms, carefully. Brian grabbed their stuff and followed Nick.
**********************************************************************
Nick and Brian waited in the ER waiting room while the doctors were examining Krista. Brian sat, Nick sort of paced back and forth. Then, the doctor came out.
"Who is the boy that did the CPR?"
"Um, that is me." Nick said aprehensively.
"Son, you saved her life. If you didn't get her out when you did, she would be brain damaged."
Nick placed his hands on his eyes and sighed deeply. Brian placed his hands on his back and sighed with relief.
"Can we see her?" Nick asked.
"You sure can!"
"Nick, you go. I'm going to call your mom and tell her what happened. I'll meet ya in their." Brian said.
"Thanks, Bri!"
Nick walked into the recovery room and saw Krista with her head facing towards the windows. He knocked on the open door and stood in the doorway. She turned to look and Nick saw that she was crying.
"Hey, what's the matter? Krista, don't cry." Nick said while sitting on the side of the hospital bed.
Nick didn't get another chance to speak because Krista grabbed his hand and squeezed it. "I love you." She said while crying.
"Krista...I"
"No, Nick, thank you so much! I could have...the doctor said I could have d-" Nick placed his finger on her lip.
"Shhh...don't say it, ok?" Nick said.
She nodded her head and smiled while tears rolled down her cheeks. Nick craddled her in his arms and rocked her softly.
