"Aiden!" Amelia screamed in horror, rushing over to the back as the boat continued to speed off, leaving ripples in the water that perfectly covered the surface.
"Amelia, the boat!" Matteo called out, drawing her attention back.
Her eyes widened with horror when she noticed the cityscape blurring past her. Without Caleb driving, the speedboat was racing aimlessly out into the open waters. She looked at the various dials and knobs, her eyes crossing with panic.
"How do I stop this?!" she yelled out, panicked.
"Pull the throttle back to neutral," Matteo instructed, and Amelia did as she was told. The boat eventually gutted to a slow stop in the middle of the waters, and with it, Amelia's heart rate gradually slowed down too.
She gripped the throttle and the handles so tightly with her fingers she could feel her hands cramp up. Her legs weren't much better off; she had practically clamped her thighs around the seat, for fear that she would be flung off due to the inertia.
