My Cousin's Ex

Chapter 9

Jace's POV
"If I tell you, promise you won't fight them?"

"That should be easy. I don't fight."

"Soo. I'm not sure if you know this, I was with some family when I got home."

"Who did what?"

"My cousin Gianna."

"Back up. A girl did something to you?"

"She just held me down. That's it."

"How's your arm feeling? I see you're no longer in a sling."

"It's better. It's just a scar now."

One afternoon, I was at the beach with Evelyne and my family. My sister was playing in the sand. My brother was playing with her. My mom was under an umbrella reading. Me and Evelyne were in the ocean. We were just having fun. Then I felt something brush against my back.

It's probably just a fish.

Then I felt my side get grabbed. I felt teeth in my body. I was dragged underwater. I looked and saw what grabbed me. I was staring at the cold, dead eyes of a bull shark. I started punching it.

Let me go!

Let me go!

I looked up and saw Evelyne swimming towards me with her arms out. That's when she caught up to me. She jammed her fingers into the shark's left eye. It let me go. We started swimming back to the surface. Then, Evelyne got grabbed.

NO!

I did the same thing she did. Just with the right eye. I grabbed her and started swimming. When we got to the surface, we headed towards the beach. When we got out of the water, people ran over to us.

"Dommy!"

I saw my sister running to us. There was so much blood, I didn't know where Evelyne got bit.
                          Evelyne's POV
When I got grabbed, all I saw was the inside of it's mouth. I was able to see it's gums. I saw all of it's teeth. I realized I was drowning.  That was no doubt, the scariest moment of my life. Everything that happened with Bryce, wasn't the worse thing that had ever happened to me. When we got back to the sand, it was getting hard to breathe. I grabbed Jace's hand and started squeezing it. I started staring at him. That's it. That's the last thing I freaking remember.

I heard someone asking for things to be handed to them. Then I woke up.

Oh look.

Another unfamiliar celling.

I looked around and saw my mom.

"H-hey mom."

"There you are!

"H-how's Jace?"

"Should've know you'd ask for him. He is on bed rest. Just like you."

"Is he home?"

"No."

I looked at my body. I saw my entire upper body was wrapped with bandages.

"The both of you, are really lucky."

"I-I wanna see him."

"I just talked to Nancy. He's doing well. He's been in and out of surgery though."

A doctor walked into the room.

"Hello. I'm Dr. Basinger. How do you feel?"

"Tired, in pain, worried, and trying to see past the part where, I almost became shark food."

"Can I see how your wounds are?"

"I-I guess."

My doctor walked over to me. She took off the bandages.

"You seem to be okay for now. You should be able to go home in a day or two."

"H-how do I shower?"

"Carefully. You have 230 stitches. They're all dissolvable."

She put more bandages on me.

"When can I see my boyfriend?"

"Not for a while. You both need to rest."

Then, my eyes shut. I felt my heart stop.

Anddd...

I'm dead..

Fuck!

Jace I'm sorry..

I guess I won't be seeing you ever again.

The image of us bleeding out together, is drilled into my brain.
