Save Me

Chapter 17- The Party Tragedy

Natalie

"Sherry why would you do that?" I ask freaking out.

"Because you should have told him the truth but no you had to be a weeny." She said looking at me like I did the worst thing on earth.

"Well this wont help," I said.

"But you're going anyway," sherry replied.

Tristan

I can't believe they are forcing me to do this I think as Ross pulls into Sherry's underground garage. You have to drive around the back to find the entrance so although the party is in full swing no one has found here yet. When we walk inside there are red cups everywhere and music is blaring. Sherry's house is on a cliff so there are no neighbours to call the police and the music isn't disturbing anyone. Her parents flight got delayed because of a storm or something like that so she risked throwing a party to 'help' Nat and I.

"Guys hey," Sherry shouts above the music, she looks bored out of her mind and Nat is next to her with the same kill me expression.

"Hey Sher um let's go talk in the kitchen," Ross says not even pretending that isn't an excuse to leave me with Natalie.

"Hey Nat," I say when they are out of earshot. "Wanna go outside? In here's a little cramped."

She agreed and we walked outside to the swing over looking the cliff. Marucho and Kelsey were the only people out here and they were no where near to us.

"So did you really mean it?" I asked suddenly getting courage from some unknown source.

"Mean what?" she asked, then I did it.

Natalie
He kissed me, I couldn't even process what was happening but I'm pretty sure I kissed him back. Then my senses kicked in and I freaked out, of course I couldn't play it cool like a normal person I had to ruin everything.
"Wha what are you doing?" I asked my eyes wide.
"I- I- I don't know," he replied stuttering seeming like a deer caught in headlights. He started stepping back when I said, "I um I'm going to go find Sherry."
"Yeah sure." He replied.
I was walking back inside when I decided to go talk to Kelsey instead, she's my friend to and Sherry is probably somewhere with Ross so no need to intterupt that.
"Marucho I dont-" I heard Kelsey start to say when he learned in to kiss her and she puked all over him, that's so gross.
"Ee there's puke in my mouth oh eww," Marucho said running inside then I saw Kelsey turn pale and look like she was about to faint, tears started rolling down her eyes and then she screamed. "Kelsey what's wrong?" I asked panicked but nothing could prepare me for what happened next.
*********************************
Was thinking about ending the chapter like this. Cliffhangers make everything so dramatic but then I'm like nah why not continue.
**********************************
"TRISTAN!" She screamed and I turned just in time to see him fall off the cliff. I run to the edge in time to see him hit the water which sounds as hard as rock. Tears are streaming down my face and I'm screaming at the top of my lungs.
"What's going on I hear?!" Sherry yell as the music stops,"parties are so much trouble." I turn towards the door my vision still blurred by tears and on my knees, Sherry and Ross were walking out the house quite aggravated followed by a crowd of people. As soon as Sherry sees me she runs to me looking worried but Ross just stands there in shock probably figuring out what happened immediately.
"No," Ross whispers,"he couldn't have, he didn't. He wouldn't!"
"He did!" I scream more tears rolling down my face.
"Call 911!" Sherry shouted suddenly understanding, "he could still be alive. Someone brought her the phone and she started explaining the situation and giving directions to her house. Within no time there were sirens and flashing lights. Tristan's body was lifted from the bottom of the water and put into an ambulance with some hope he might be alive. The party quickly dispersed because of an 'untimely death' which is what most people said as they walked out the door but we didn't want them here anyway. Sherry followed the ambulance in her car with Ross and I in the backseat and Kelsey left with Jaime when the ambulance arrived.
" He might be dead." I cried.
"I can't believe he did this." Ross said with tears streaming down his face. Even Sherry was crying but keeping it to a minimum as she was the one driving.
"He's going to be fine guys," she said sniffling, "he's fine." But she wasn't even convincing herself far less us.
When we got to the hospital we asked about his condition at the desk but they only said that his parents had been notified and information can only be given to family members.
******************************
Am I the only one who wants to cry right now? This is just so sad (I can't believe I wrote this)

Ross
He did it. He actually did it was all I could think sitting in the lobby of the hospital with no idea if my best friend is dead or alive. A few minutes later his mother burst through the door with someone who meant the most to him but left and made Tristan's whole world crumble, his father. They rushed up to the main desk and bombarded the nurse with questions but it seemed like they were only going to be led to another room when his mother, whose name I still do not know, recognized me and told the nurse to let Nat, Sherry and I come with her. When we got into the waiting room in front of the ICU a doctor in a blue mask looking like he just came from surgery came to speak to us.
"Good evening, my name is Dr. Bennett." He said, "Your son Tristan?" He said checking a clipboard as he addressed Tristan's parents. "He is currently in critical condition, he ruptured his spleen broke most of his ribs, punctured a lung and has many fractures. We are doing all we can to help him and he is currently in surgery, usually the procedure would be to get your signature first but if we didn't do something immediately with all the damage and water in his lungs he would have surely died, even though it seems like that was his goal." The doctor said," I will update you on any changes in his condition and there are a few papers I need you to sign." After that I zoned out thinking about my best friend. He's fighting for his life and there is nothing I can do, no way I can help him but at least now I know he is alive and if, no when he recovers he will be glad to see his dad and know he was here for him the whole time to. I feel people hugging me and look to see Nat's head on my shoulder looking completely exhausted and Sherry's head on my lap just seeming like she can't take this but we're all going to get through this together and Tristan will make a full recovery, I hope.
********************************
I could not figure out what to write on that chapter at all. Thanks naka for helping me figure that out and Kay for making me try to finish it. So that stuff happened and Tristan is alive yay but might now be for much longer. Wonder what will happen.
