Just a few minutes ago my sisters friend Sarah called me asking me "you know Johnny right?"
She explains to me that 4 friends of mine, including my friend Johnny went swimming at the Eno and then she goes...
"Well...johnny drowned."
I fuckin freezed.
She explained to me how she didnt know all the details and she wasnt sure if they just couldnt find his body or what.
She told me she was just trying to call people that knew him to let them know what happened. She said her sister and everyone who knew him were in tears.
I started ballin.
This is all the news is saying:
Authorities are at the west point area on the Eno River investigating a possible drowning. Dive teams are in the water. We're told a group of kids were swimming when one went under water and did not come back up. A Highway Patrol helicopter is being used to do an aerial search of the water.
