--------------------

I wonder if they would care if I just..

Disappeared...

-Vikk's POV-

I wake up to the sound of sirens. Wait.. sirens?! I bolt out of bed and immediately run downstairs. What could have happened?! We literally just moved in! As soon as I get downstairs, I see that the door leading to the pool is open, and I run outside.

What I saw.. Let's just say it was mortifying. One of my best friends. In a stretcher. Attached to oxygen. By the pool.. WHAT THE HELL?!

"LACHLAN! What happened?!" I yell, seeing my boyfriend standing by the edge of the pool. He slowly turns around. He was crying. I quickly embrace him, pulling him into me.

"He.. He didn't.."

Lachlan says, voice dry.

I take his hand, and bring him over to where the ambulance is. I already knew what happened. He lay, barely breathing, water being pumped out of his lungs. Our one and only Benj.

-Jerome's POV-

He wouldn't let me. He wouldn't let me bring him up. He pushed himself down. I'm an idiot. Why didn't I try harder? Why didn't I call for help? Why wasn't I strong enough? Why did he pass out?

My sunshine. The only one I really care about. I let him down. I told him I'd always be there for him. I loved him. I never told him, but I did. He could be dead right now. I feel useless in this hospital bed. My lungs hurt. My ribs hurt. Every part of me hurts. I don't care what happens to me. I just want him to be safe.

"Jerome?" That voice. It was familiar.

I slowly lift my head up and open my eyes. It was Preston.

"Hey Jerome.. You feeling better?" What a dumb question. Do I look okay?

"No Preston, I'm not okay. My best friend almost committed suicide, I don't know why, I tried to save him and HE MIGHT BE DEAD. DO I LOOK OKAY?"

Preston looked shocked, but looked at me reassuringly.

"He's gonna be alright. We're gonna talk to him when he wakes up, but he's gonna be alright. Get some rest."

Ha. Get some rest. You're funny.
