- - - SPOILERS****

the boy died from drowning. the girl, since she had slept with the boy started to sleep peacefully, dreaming of the boy no one else knows about. They seem to have had a secret realtionship (or probably somethign they both nvver talked about to others) so no one else knows about 'them'.

for the girl's friends, she was just imagining or everythting about the boy was just a dream. Th girl, however didn't believe that he 'drowned', but instead she believes he was able to reach the 'door' he has always wanted to reach (the reason he keeps on diving/swimming) - the very reasn why she always dreams of him.
