Jude's POV

I jump off the trampoline and swim towards Ella. Suddenly, I feel hands on my shoulders pushing me down. My head goes under. I pop my head back up.

"Help," I yell. I get pushed back under the water. I try to get back up but can't. I'm being held down to hard. I can't breathe. I can't see. I feel the hands lift off my shoulders. But I'm to weak to swim. I feel myself sinking. I sink lower, and lower, and lower...

I take I deep breathe and open my eyes. I look around. I'm in Connor's cave. I sit up and see Connor sitting at the edge of the bed, tears in his eyes.

"Your ok," he says, giving me a hug.

"Yeah," I say. "What happened?"

"You seriously don't remember." I shake my head. "When you went to go say hi to Ella, James pushed you under. I heard you yell and swam over as fast as I could. I pulled James off of you, and you started to sink. I dived and swam you back to the shore, where one of the lifeguards did CPR. Then we brought you back here."

"It wasn't weird seeing someone else kiss me."

"I was fine. It was a girl, first of all. And also, SHE WAS SAVING YOUR LIFE! If I have to risk one person giving you mouth to mouth to be able to kiss you a thousand more times, I'll risk it."

"Boys," says Neil. "Will you come into my room for a minute." We get up and walk to the counselors room. I see James sitting on the bed.

"We need to talk about what happened," says Bruce. "Who wants to starts?"

"I will," says Connor. "Jude and I were jumping on the trampoline when he decided to go say hi to our friend Ella. As he was swimming, James shoved him under the water."

"Is this true," asks Neil.

"Yes," says James. He doesn't seem ashamed of it. He was totally fine with admitting it was him.

"Why would you do that," asks Bruce.

"Because they're fags," says James.

"What are you talking about," asks Neil.

"They're gay," says James.

"How do you know that," I ask.

"I heard you talking with Ella and her friends at breakfast. I wasn't that surprised about you, but I was about Connor. When I saw you swimming by yourself I knew that was my chance. You don't deserve to be here. Men are supposed love women. Not other men."

"If we weren't meant to be here, why would God make us," asks Connor.

"He made a mistake," says James. "While God was creating you, something went wrong. You guys aren't normal."

"We're normal," says Connor. "We just don't like girls the way you do. There's nothing wrong with that."

"Whatever helps you sleep at night," says James.

"That's it," says Connor. He stands up and starts walking towards James, his fists clenched.

"Stop it," I say. I pull Connor back. "Ignore him."

"Can we go," asks Connor.

"You and Jude can go," says Neil. "But we need James to stay." Connor and I walk out of the room and go back to his bed.

"That guy really pisses me off," says Connor.

"We knew there were going to be people like this," I say. "We're just going to have to deal with it."

"I don't think I can deal with it if it involves you getting hurt."

"Don't worry about me. As long as I have you by my side I'll be fine."

"I love you Jude. I wouldn't let anyone hurt you." I see tears starting to form in his eyes.

"I know. I love you too." I give him a kiss. "Now I have to go change. I've been in this bathing suit long enough."
