Eighteen
Me and Lo'ak were walking through the forest. It's been so long since I've climbed the trees. It would've been easier if I had two arms. Fortunately, Lo'ak is helping me out every step. He was right there. He was holding my hip.
"I don't need a babysitter." I say.
"If you fall, my dad will kill me." Lo'ak said.
I chuckle. We stop at a river. Lo'ak jumped straight in. He moved so freely and moved so gracefully through the water. I smile as he tosses and turns in the water.
"You coming in or what?" He asked.
I draw back. The water made me nervous. I could swim with two arms, but not one.
"I can't swim." I say.
"Anyone can swim." Lo'ak said coming out of the water.
"Anyone with two arms." I say.
"C'mon just try it." He said reaching out his hand.
I look at him. His eyes seem genuine.
"Trust me." He said.
I nod. I take his hand. He leads me into the water. I take a breathe before I plunge my head into the water.
