"SPOT NO!!!!" Ace and Hotshot.

I'm on my way Mama.

Spot hit the water. He was sinking. He heard Ace and Hotshot run to the docks and jump in. Spot knew he would soon be running out of breath. He started hallucinating, he saw his sister staring at him, bloody, with a gun shot in her chest. He heard Ace and Hotshot yelling for him. Spot screamed as he saw Cora. He started kicking his legs and throwing his arms everywhere trying to be set free. He started yelling help. 

He then heard Waves, Smokes, Dice, and Red jump in the water yelling and searching for him as well. Spot tried to swim towards where he heard the voices, but it felt like chains where weighing his legs and arms down. The more he tried to yell and swim the more outta breath he got.

He then heard someone say that they should just give up. He couldn't make out who said it, but all he knew is that he needed to try his very best to save himself. He had finally excepted that they where right, they weren't going to find him, and that he couldn't save himself at this point.

He started singing a song in his head, he had hoped that maybe God would save him. Maybe God would lead him above water. 

I gotta keep the calm before the storm
I don't want less, I don't want more
Must bar the windows and the doors
To keep me safe, to keep me warm,Yeah, my life is what I'm fighting for
Can't part the sea, can't reach the shore
And my voice becomes the driving force
I won't let this pull me overboard God, keep my head above water
Don't let me drown, it gets harder
I'll meet you there at the altar
As I fall down to my knees
Don't let me drown, drown, drown
Don't let me, don't let me, don't let me drown So pull me up from down below
'Cause I'm underneath the undertow
Come dry me off and hold me close
I need you now, I need you most God, keep my head above water
Don't let me drown, it gets harder
I'll meet you there at the altar
As I fall down to my knees
Don't let me drown, drown, drown
Don't let me, don't let me, don't let me drown
Don't let me drown, drown, drown
Don't let me, don't let me, don't let me drown (Keep my head above water, above water)And I can't see in the stormy weather
I can't seem to keep it all together
And I, I can't swim the ocean like this forever
And I can't breathe God, keep my head above water
I lose my breath at the bottom
Come rescue me, I'll be waiting
I'm too young to fall asleep God, keep my head above water
Don't let me drown, it gets harder
I'll meet you there at the altar
As I fall down to my knees Don't let me drown (Don't let me, don't let me drown)
Don't let me drown (Don't let me, don't let me drown)
Don't let me drown (Don't let me, don't let me drown)
And keep my head above water, above water

I'm sorry Hotshot, Ace, and Racetrack, I know I fucked up. I just hope that you'se live happily. And with that Spot had his last breath, he had his last breath drowning himself.

What he didn't know is that Ace hadn't given up.......
