I fell into speed-and then I fell into love

The couple sank into each other’s hearts.

A man fell into speed while walking along the beautiful beach with his best friend, and this horrible event changed his life.

Friends Mitchell O’Brien and Breanne Sika enjoyed a relaxing day on a recent spring weekend, walking along the Lake Michigan shoreline – suddenly, O’Brien found herself sucked a few feet away.

Just taking a soft sand took a wrong step – in a few seconds he was spinning deep in the beach, around the water.

He kicked his legs sideways to stop himself from falling further-realizing that he wouldn’t get out of the shocking quagmire.

Sika wanted to call for help right away, but O’Brien insisted he could dig himself.

15 minutes later, he admitted that he couldn’t escape – and soon noticed that “sand came back almost faster than I could,” the Midwest reported to NBC News.

“Those moments are scary for me,” Sika added, remembering the sinking feeling of watching her best friend struggle to get out.

They eventually agreed that the authorities needed to be called, and that they were all called dispatch.

In her panic, Sika calls her long-time friend her boyfriend during the phone call – O’Brien calls her girlfriend.

It was reported that this was the first time in history that the two mentioned each other’s romantic feelings.

“This guy was my best friend for two years and was just trying to hide everything about our feelings, he tried to die on me and be my boyfriend.”

Firefighters eventually arrived at the scene and pulled O’Brien out of the dangerous “sand and soil mix.”

Quicksand proves to be the fastest way to turn friendship into a romantic relationship.
