Bella and I have 1 more week left in Pittsburgh

We hung out with Sidney almost the whole time.

Today we are going to a swimming pool.

I got into my red bathing suit while Bella was in her blue bathing suit

Dave had his swimming shorts on that were black.

I got to the pool and sat on the edge and put my feet in the water.

"Hey hot stuff" a guy said to me

I looked up

"I have a boyfriend" i said then looked back at the water.

He sat beside me

"I love the color red" he said

I had red sunglasses too.

"Babe common" he said

"I said i have a boyfriend" i said sternly

"Awe babe" he said then put his arm around me.

Okay now i'm even more uncomfortable.

I looked over at Dave and Bella and they were tanning and listening to music.

Great.......

"Get off me" i yelled

"Baby no need for yelling" he said

I still don't know him.

I can smell the alcohol off of him.

"Your drunk dude" i said moving away.

He came closer and i jumped into the pool.

He followed me in. he is a drunk man in the deep end.

He pulled me down to the bottom on the pool, i was losing breath fast. I was fighting to get out of his grip, i honestly thought i was gonna die.

Everything went black.

{Bella's P.O.V}

I opened my eyes and took my headphones out. When i did there was ambulances, police men, and everybody was out of the pool.

I looked around for Crystal but i couldn't find her.

I pushed Dave and he jumped up and pulled his headphones out.

"Sorry i fell asleep" he said all jumpy

"Where's Crystal?" i asked worried.

Just then his jaw dropped and tears welled up into his eyes

"Dave?" i asked worried.

{Dave's P.O.V}

Bella was asking me questions.

When i saw Crystal in the ambulance i couldn't help my self but go into shock.

I wasn't there for her. This is all my fault.

"Bella just come with me" i said as i grabbed her arm and took her to the car.

I gave her a pair of shorts and a tee shirt.

I grabbed one of my tee's and put it on

I started the rental car and took off to the hospital.

"Dave can you please tell me whats going on?" she asked worriedly

"I have no idea whats going on Bella" i said panicky

"I'm here for Crystal Mahone" i said to the lady at the front desk

"She won't be able to have any visitors for a while" she said

"I need to know" i said with a shaky voice

"Sir, you need to go to the waiting room" she said calmly

I walked to the waiting room and sat down my leg was fidgeting

"She was the one in the pool. She was on the stretcher. She was hooked up to a lot of things" i said in one breath

I watched and her body deflated

"W- what are we g- going to do about A- Austin and Alex?" she asked with a stutter and a shaky voice.

"Let's not tell them yet till we know the detail" i said calmly

Two people came in crying and a doctor walked out. I over heard him talking

"You're som was drunk on the pool side, he was with a girl"

I got up and walked over

"I know that girl. Crystal right?"

He nodded

And continued with the story

"You're son was drunk, with a girl by the edge of the pool, she was by the deep end. She jumped in and he followed. Because he was so drunk he couldn't find him self to swim, she was trying to swim away. He brought her to the bottom. She was trying to get away but it wasn't working. The lifeguard took both of them out and called the paramedics. When they got there, he was under the water for to long, plus with the drinking it went wrong. I'm sorry but as of 12:37pm your son has passed away" he said the them.

They bursted into tears.

He turned to me

"As for the girl. She was also under the water for to long a-" i cut him off

"No, no, no" i said as i ran my hand through my hair.

"The lifeguard was able to get a pulse on her before the paramedics got there. It's not looking good. Her lungs are full of water and she might not make it any longer. I'm sorry" once he said that i lost it.

I turned around and punched the wall

"Sir, SIR calm down" the doctor said

Security men escorted me from the building Bella is calling Austin now.

{Bella's P.O.V}

I'm so scared to tell Austin but i need to. Dave can't so i am.

(A = Austin , B = Bella)

B: hey Austin

A: hey baby

B: ummm

A: whats wrong.

After i told him what happened he was speechless he hung up.

{Austin's P.O.V}

I knew i shouldn't have let my little sister go to Pittsburgh.

I'm bawling right now. My sister out of all people.

Whats my mom going to say, Alex what about Alex?? No why.

•A while later•

I told Alex and my mom and right now my mom is bawling on the couch and Alex is staring off into space.

I can't even believe this...
