Black Waves

When The Pain Is Too Much

Andy and Lonny runs out to his car and looks up Remington's last GPS location. Fuck fuck fuck hopefully this is his house. He turns on navigation and speeds the whole way there. He dials Remi's number and nervously waits for him to pick up, to tell him he's okay, or to just pick up at all. It rings to voicemail. He tries again, same result. He's panicking now. He tells Lonny to look into his contacts and see if he has any of his brother's numbers. Nothing. Lonny pulls out his phone and finds Sebastian's number and calls it quickly. 

Sebastian- "Hey Lonny how's it going? I was just ab..." 

Lonny interrupts- "Sebastian what is Remington's address? Something happened. Me and Andy are on our way to him now."

Sebastian laughs- "What, does Andy miss him already? I am supposed to go out to dinner with him in an hour. You guys come join us!"

Lonny- "No Sebastian I'm serious! He called Andy and could barely speak. He was begging for help and now he isn't answering."

Sebastian is silent. This isn't a prank...Remington would never go this far.

Lonny- "Sebastian! We need his fucking address now!!"

Sebastian tells them the address and heads out that way himself. Andy is almost there and races into his driveway. The men run up the steps and open the door-it's locked. They both try to look through the window but the curtain covers mostly everything. Except, for the blood on the floor.

Andy and Lonny try kicking the front door down with no luck. "Try the back!" Lonny yells. They see Sebastian pulling in behind them. The men run to the backyard and see the door swinging open. Sebastian runs out and follows them. Nothing would prepare them for what they were about to see. 

A footprint was etched on the back door. As they walked inside, broken glass was everywhere. Then they see the blonde haired man laying on the floor with blood around his head. 

They run to him and Andy gently picks up his head into his arms. His whole body is limp. "No baby, no...please wake up baby." Sebastian is in shock. Lonny is dialing for an ambulance. Andy looks at the man and puts his hand under his nose. Small, slow, weak breaths. He feels his neck and his pulse is barely there. "Tell them to hurry!" Andy yells at Lonny. "Come on baby, wake up for me. You can do it sweetheart." He notices he is no longer breathing. He checks his pulse. Nothing. The waves are drowning him.

Andy shoves him on the ground and starts pushing down on his chest like the operator tells him to. He opens Remington's mouth and more blood flows out. Shit, he was choking on blood! He scoops as much blood out as he can and clears his throat. He breathes air into his lifeless body, feeling his lungs increase in size. He continues to push down on his chest until the man sputters out a cough, quietly whining. More blood is coming out of his mouth. Andy helps scoop the blood out and Remington barely opens his eyes. "It's okay baby, I'm here. Help is on the way. Just be a good boy and stay awake for me, yeah?" 

Remington can't hear him past the waves. He's drowning. He closes his eyes.
