The water pooled with black clouds that seemed to be never-ending as he plunged under and sank further and further down. His skin and nerves felt raw both inside and out and Drake wondered briefly if this is what death feels like. It was strangely... peaceful. He didn't try to open his eyes but he felt hands grab hold of him, warm hands that pulled him and in this state, he didn't even know if it was down or up.  When they emerged on the surface it felt like he was taking a breath for the first time. He couldn't help the reaction that was pulled from him as he started to cry and sob. The rivets of black water still running off his body and hair.<br/><br/>He didn't even know who was holding him as he wrapped his arms around Gabe's neck feeling like he had been turned inside out and was still feeling more raw than he could ever remember. The strangest part was that his hair which was shocked with gray and full of gray strands appeared to be all black now, the unruly strands now making him look far younger than they did when they were graying. He didn't know how he was feeling overall it felt like he had cried like this since he was a child.
