They were a happy family. That was before her parents got rich and putting their business over their family. At that time her hair was short, but not too short. It was nice as it fits her cute face. Jamie would cycle his small blue bike around the deck, abandoning his sister and parents. Meanwhile, Molly would always go to the end of the bridge and put her face in betweens the gates.
She would enjoy the sunrise and the smell of the sea. Her parents would first entertain her and stood beside her but then Jamie would always fell down the bike and their parents would rushed to him. She was left alone.
The breeze caught her cheeks. She remembered the necklace her late Grandma gave to her. She held on to it. She took it off and put it on her small palms. She was distracted by her brother's screaming out of pain. And so, she dropped her red necklace and she thought all was at lost.
Then came a little boy with dark brown hair out of nowhere and jumped of the deck. Splash! Molly was a bright girl so she knew the water was too deep and the boy could not have survived that cold deep dark water. She was nervous. She hoped he survived even if the necklace was lost.
A few minutes later, there were bubbles coming to the surface of the ocean. The dark brown haired boy came out of the water, holding her precious necklace. She yelled for help instantly. the parents of the boy came and pulled him out of the sea. They tried to help him stand up but he was balanced enough to stand on his own feet. Shivering, he held out her necklace and gave it to her.
Boy: This must be precious to you.
Molly: Yeah, thanks. But, why?
Before the boy could answer, his parents said it first.
Parents: It was dangerous of you to do that! You could have died Adam!
He chuckles. They were scared and mad but their son's safety is the important thing right now.
Adam: Mom, Dad, I'm sorry. It's just that I lost something to the sea too so it hurts me to see if she suffer from it too. Besides, I'm a good swimmer ayte? You said so yourself.
Molly's parents came as fast they could. They wondered what happened. Some people near the scene came too. It was a miracle that a 9 year old boy swam the sea just to save a girl's necklace.
Adam: Anyway, it's freezing out here. Could you buy treat me to a hot chocolate Mum?
Adam's parents were worried but somehow, they trusted him. He's not an ordinary child, he's a special one. Then Adam's sister finally showed up.
Jane: Adam! I saw you jumped the bridge! You could have been killed!
Quickly she hugged Adam. She was worried too. All of them were until Adam looked unharmed. People started to walk away. Adam's father gave him his jacket to warm him up.
Adam's Dad: Let's go son. We'll get you warmed up!
Molly stopped them.
Molly: Wait! Thank you. This necklace is precious to me. I owe you one.
She cracked open her necklace. It was made to be divided into two.
Molly: This is my way of saying thanks.
Adam took it with a pleasure.
Adam: I promise I'll look after it! Thanks...
Molly remembered what her Grandma told her about the necklace.
Grandma: Hold this necklace close to your heart. It's very special.
Molly: What is so special about it Grandma?
Grandma: Why it's the thing that kep your GrandDad and I together all the time. He gave it to me when we first met.
Molly: But what if someone special came into my life one day Grandma?
Grandma: I'll want you to give the half of it to him. It will bring both of you luck. Until it is separated and again reunited, it is just merely a necklace.
Molly: Why is it so Grandma?
Grandma: Because good things are meant to be shared. If you only keep it to yourself then it wouldn't be something special. It's very contrast from secrets.
So then she knows. Grandma would be happy that another half of the necklace is with that brave boy. Molly hope it will do her good.
