So, this is based off of a song called "Overboard" by Manafest. In short, the plot starts with a female drowning, and the male character savin her unconscious, half-drowned body.
I'd like to be the female, so if you have a male character, that'd be nice.

{{Starter, just jump in!}}
A body hits the water. A girl's vision goes dark. Nairah was drowning. She had tried to reach for the surface, but was too far down to reach. She tried to cry for help, but underwater, no one heard her screams. Her lungs started burning, her black hair floating around her face, her red eyes flickering closed as she gave up. There was no hope, no one nearby to save her.

Johnathan noticed a splash. He looked over, but instead of just the usual ripple from a leaping fish, he noticed a stream of air bubbles. Through the water, he could just make out a person sinking into the depths. Without a moment's delay, he took off towards the person, leaping off the dock and diving into the cold water head first. He managed to get his arm around their waist and propelled the two upward. They broke the surface of the water and, for the first time, he noticed it was a young woman.

Nairah had fallen unconscious, her body completely limp. her breathing shallow, gurgling a little from the water that had flooded into her lungs when she had tried to call for help.

Johnathan managed to grab on to the dock. He lifted her up onto his shoulders and managed to place her on the dock before pulling himself up. He straightened her neck out and put his ear against her chest. 'There's still a heartbeat,' he thought to himself. Placing two hands over her chest, he began to give her CPR, opening her mouth to allow her to breathe.

Nairah's unnaturally red eyes snapped open as she started harshly coughing up water, a wave of pain rushing over her. As her vision cleared, she realized someone had saved her. She blinked up at the man she assumed had taken the time to rescue her from the murky depths.

"You're alive!" John exclaimed, moving his just eye level hair out of his way. He waited a minute to catch her breath before asking "What the freak happened to you? You were actually a couple of seconds away from dying!"

"I... I d-don't know..." Nairah responded softly, not meeting Johnathan's eyes. She decided to stare at the ground instead, her mind blank as to what happened before she had hit the water. She tried to force herself to remember... but there was nothing.

"Do you have any family members I can call, friends perhaps? Somewhere safe to stay?" He asked, already reaching for his phone. That's when he realized that it wasn't there. He looked, but he assumed it must've fallen out in the water

Nairah shook her head. "I-I n-need to get back to S-Skaia..." she mumbled under her breath, brushing her hair out of her eyes and sitting up. I've already been away for too long. They could be gone by now! I need to hurry and get back...
{{Skaia's a random city name I came up with.}}

"That's about thirty minutes by car," He told her, gently resting his hand on her arm. "If you need to get there, you're going to have to walk a bit. Do you think you can stand?"

Nairah nodded and shakily got to her feet. "I-I don't know about walking, though..." She knew she had to try, but she didn't know if she could even take one step after almost dying twice in one day.

"Don't worry, I'll help you." He told her encouragingly. "If you can just walk a little bit, I can get you some help. Some food if you're hungry, too. My house is maybe a quarter mile from here."

Nairah nodded and took a hesitant step, cringing as she almost collapsed. When she didn't fall, she took another step.

"You got it!" He said optimistically. "Here, let me help you." He put her arm over his shoulder so he could support her. "Let's get you out of here."

Nairah nodded softly, trying not to freak out as her heart started pounding for no reason. What's happening?

Johnathan helped her walk. After about ten minutes, they had finally reached his driveway. "We're here." He told her. "Once we get in, I'll get you something to eat and you can rest."

Nairah nodded again, blinking tiredly. She sighed softly, looking around with slightly glazed red eyes, her messy black hair falling in her face.

Johnathan helped her down the dirt driveway and helped her inside. He motioned for her to sit on the couch. "What would you like? We've got some venison jerky in the pantry, we might have some leftover chicken wings in the fridge, or I could make you a sandwich if you'd like."

"I-I think... I'll j-just sleep for now..." Nairah said softly, her eyes already half-closed.

"Alright, then." Johnathan whispered. I'll just be in the other room."

Nairah drifted off to sleep, her dark red eyes closing.
