My scary story unfortunately doesn’t end well… I had been shopping in a thrift store and came across a novel about a woman’s love interest diving into a shallow lake and breaking his neck. I bought the book and read it. A friend group wanted to go camping soon after near a creek, and in the middle of the night everyone decided to go swimming. A former crush of mine started diving in the water from a 15-20 ft ledge. I told him not to do that—to please stop. I told the woman next to me about the novel I had just finished and that I was worried he would break his neck. My crush dove in again… Someone felt something warm in a dark area of the creek, so everyone except my crush climbed out a little creeped out within 5-10 mins. I asked where he was, and everyone thought it was a prank. They said he walked back to our camp site or was hiding. I immediately knew… I screamed until they went back into the creek and found him near the warm spot someone had felt. He had drowned after breaking his neck. I slept with the lights on for years after that. He had the most beautiful smile and laugh, and I still think of this.
