Caryn finished fixing رات کے کھانے, شام کا کھانا and told John that it was ready. As they ate, John said, "This is really good, Caryn." She said, "Thank you. My grandmother taught me how to cook." He said, "My grandmother taught me how to cook, too." Caryn smiled and said, "That's something cool that we have in common." After they finished eating, John helped Caryn wash the dishes. She said, "You didn't have to do that, John." He said, "I don't mind it. I've had to wash dishes most of my life anyway." She said, "Well, I appreciate your help." After that, she asked, "Are آپ ready to go in the pool?" He said, "We just ate. Aren't آپ supposed to wait an hour?" She laughed and said, "Turns out, that's a myth. You're no مزید likely to drown یا get cramps if آپ go swimming after آپ eat." John smiled a little at this, but it didn't make him feel much better. He knew he had to tell Caryn the truth. If he pretended everything was all right, it would create a dishonest relationship. As the two of them headed to the pool, John said, "Caryn, I have something to tell you." She asked, "What is it, John?" He said, "I, um, I'm afraid of water." She asked, "Why didn't آپ tell me?" He said, "I was afraid that آپ would be ashamed of me." She hugged him and said, "John, I love you. I could never be ashamed of you, ever." He said, "Well, that's a relief." She said, "I could help آپ overcome your fear. Don't worry; I won't let آپ drown." He said, "Okay." He took a step closer. He then slipped and fell into the pool. John began to panic under the water. Which way was up? Just then, he felt someone pulled him to the surface. He coughed up some water, and he looked to see who helped him. It was Caryn. She was still holding on to him. She asked, "Are آپ okay?" He said, "I think so." She said, "No wonder you're scared of water. Has this happened to آپ a lot?" He said, "More than I care to admit, but that's not why I'm afraid of water." She asked, "What happened to make آپ so afraid?" He said, "When Pastor Thomas attempted to murder me for the سیکنڈ and final time, he shot me, and it caused me to fall into a river. I went under, and I couldn't see anything. Luckily, Peter jumped in to save me. I didn't come close to drowning, but it was close enough for me. As for the gunshot wound, the bullet didn't go in very deep. It only penetrated the skin." Caryn cried as she listened to the story. She said, "I'm so sorry this happened to you, but Pastor Thomas isn't here to hurt آپ now. On سب, سب سے اوپر of that, this water is shallow and calm. آپ don't have to swim. Just stand up." This made John feel confident. He stood اگلے to Caryn and said, "Thanks, Caryn. I'm glad I told آپ about my fear." She said, "You're welcome. I'm glad about that, too."
Paul's Special Friend
I first met Erin through Allie. From the sad look in her eyes, I knew that Erin needed a friend. As we got to know each other, she opened up about losing her best friend, Barry. She said, "My poor excuse of a grandfather shot Barry. I offered to get help for him, but he wouldn't let me leave him. I guess he didn't want to die alone." I hugged her and said, "I'm sorry. I know what pain you're going through. I lost my best friend, too. For the longest time, I blamed myself, because Alice and I were playing in the river. It was my insistence. I miss her sometimes, but I'm okay." Erin and I became really close as time passed. She was even passionate about موسیقی like I was. There was once when we got into a big argument, but our friendship was stronger, and we've remained best دوستوں ever since. One day, when we were in high school, we put our heads together, and we decided to start a band. Of course, the challenge was finding other members.

It was summer, and I was back at ہوم helping my parents with the farm. The summer was really fun, and I really enjoyed it. Hillel and I kept in touch throughout the summer. One day, when we talked over the phone, I said, "My parents کہا it was okay with them. I wanted to ask آپ if آپ would like to share an apartment with me this year. I don't want to go through another bad roommate experience." He said, "I'd love to! I'll go ask my parents if it's okay." There was silence for a long time. After a long time of silence, I heard Hillel's voice again. He said, "I'm back. They کہا that since it was okay with your parents, it was okay with them." I said, "That's great." Toward the end of the summer, we moved into our apartment. I was glad that I didn't have to put up with a roommate listening to rap موسیقی and refusing to turn it down. I later learned that Hillel was a very valuable roommate. I never knew that one day, he would end up saving my life.
