two doors down

hot water cold water.

"what the fuck" i scoffed out surprised. she seemed surprised by her own actions as well but didn't stop.

my feet were closer to the edge and if i was pushed back any further i would go spinning over the rail.

"tell sir you don't want to do the competition and say you want to give me the opportunity" she hisses. holding me firmly against the rail.

i said something i probably shouldn't have so she pushes me more. i felt myself tipping of the edge when i herd monica call out my name.

but it was to late. i fell into the freezing river below. water went up my nose and the impact made my body feel all funny.

i don't know how long i was underwater but it was to long my lungs were burning and my head started going fuzzy. eventually my body started floating up towards the top.

my head broke to the surface and i gasped for breath. i saw cindy running away down the bridge.

monica was calling out my name from somewhere on the river bank. i looked around but my eyes weren't focusing for much longer.

"y/n come on your okay" i suddenly hear closer and monica had jumped into the river.

she pulled me to the shore as i laid limp in her arms. both of us were shivering me more so.

"hey hey keep your eyes open" she held my face softly blowing on my nose to keep me aware of my surroundings.

i rolled to the side coughing up some river water that can't have been good for me. she pulled me back into her chest i saw out bags sat next to us.

she reaches in and opens her bag grabbing her phone. i felt okay for the most part so i hope she's not calling the ambulance. i don't need that hospital bill to my name.

"yeah thanks ash" she finishes putting her phone down and holding a hand to my forehead.

"who was that" i whispered tiredly nudging her hand away.

"my brother he will be here soon" she explained handing me her jumper she must've ripped off when coming into the river.

"why" i said letting her help me into it as my body was still a bit numb.

"to take us home" monica said.

he ended up being there 2 minutes later and jumped out of his car to get to us.

"what happened to you. should've gone skinny dipping. atleast you would have dry clothes" he lightly scolded grabbing our bags and helping us up.

"she was thrown of the bridge ashton" monica rolls her eyes picking me up.

"what by who" we explained the entire situation and he said he's gonna slap that bitch.

monica and i sat in the back as ashton drove us back to their house.

we made it back to their humble abode and this time i was able to walk out however monica had to carry most of my body weight.

"afternoon kids" their dad greets us as i was over here so much i just got included in their family. more or less.

"afternoon dad" monica smiles helping me to the bathroom her and ashton share known as the kids bathroom. 

she sets me down on the edge of the bathtub saying she will be back with some clothes for us both.

i close the shower curtain and turn on the shower. i can feel the hot water literally defrosting my body.

monica comes back in and sits on the bathroom bench doing who knows. we had been doing this since we were kids. all chatting while rotating who was showering.

"so what did cindy want" she asked after a second.

"the usual, claiming she is leonardo di vinci and how she should have gotten into the competition and not me that sorta thing.

"right right" she said slowly "and because of this she tired to almost kill you. or at least leave you paralysed.

"pretty much" i answered sticking my hand out to grab a towel before wrapping it around my self and stepping out.

monica got in and it's now i notice she had gotten mandarins and was eating that.

i get changed quickly before sitting on the bench to brush my hair. monica and i talk for a couple more minutes while i was finishing her fruit.

when she came out she had an annoyed expression.  i could tell it was fake tho as her eyes told me she was amused.

"bitch"
