Sinking

14

BITCH SHE CAN'T SWIM!-

Ding Ding Ding!
Smack down.

Emma stood up. everyone around us laughed and pointed. Emma looked mad. really mad. I smirked.

"What the actual fuck!" she shouted. she was enraged. she grabbed my hair and pulled it.
I punched her in the nose which made her even more.
She slapped me silly.
Then I clawed her. it left quite a few marks. she started attacking me even more. then I sharkeshia-d her ass. I sucker punched her in the face. she fell to the floor. she bit my leg. which was pretty weird if you ask me. I kicked her as hard as I could until I felt a pair of arms around my waist pulling me off of Emma. still kicking and screaming Emma came up to me and punched me in the face. hard.

I blacked out.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

My eyes flutter open. I look at my surroundings. I'm in Laura's room. I look over at Laura's bedside table . the clock said 1:57am. the bass still thumping. I turn my head to the side and see Beck and Laura in the bathroom talking frantically about something. Beck ringed out a small towel over the sink and started walking to me. I cleared my throat.

"Oh hey, your awake." Beck said. I smiled. he sat on the bed next to me.

"Emma hit your lip pretty hard." he whispered as he put the damp towel on my lip. it stung. like a bitch.

"Maria, are you okay?". Laura asked as she walked out of the bathroom.

I nodded.

Beck looked sad.

"I'm sorry." he said.

"Don't be. I know Emma probably forced you." I explained.

"Yeah she did." he said as she scratched the back of his head.

It went silent. we just stared into each others eyes.

"This was my first fight." I said.

"Oh really? I've been in like, ten." Beck laughed. I smiled.

"Your such a bad boy." I laughed.

"Your such a good girl." he smirked.

He leaned down and kissed my forehead. I smiled.

"Did I pass out or what?" I asked.

"Yeah, Emma got you pretty good." he said.

"But the good news is that you clawed her up pretty good. she has a huge bruise on her forehead and on her shoulder. you just have a cut lip." he explained.

I smiled at the thought I won the fight.

"I mean he got you pretty good, you were out for a good 2 hours." he laughed. I laughed too. I sat up and hugged him tight and he hugged me back.

"Thanks for helping me." I whispered in his ear. my hand caressing his hair.

We pulled apart and saw that Laura had stumbled as she walked out of the room.

"Yeah, she's pretty drunk." Beck whispered. I laughed at the thought of Laura drinking.

He kissed me on the cheek and helped me up.

I walked over to the mirror and checked out the damage that Emma has done. not too bad. the inside of my lip was bleeding.

Then an idea popped into mind.

"Hey beck, in the small box there are a couple boxes of sparklers can you get them out for me?" I asked.

"Yeah babe." he said as he opened the black box.

"There's a lighter in there too. an u grab that too?" I asked.

"Sure"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After pushing through the crowd we walked to the pier. once we got to the very end of the pier, I pulled out the the sparklers and the lighter.

"Here." I said as I handed Beck 4 sparklers. I lit each one and they sparked. they were beautiful. I light 4 more sparklers for myself. I held 2 in each hand. they sparkled as we laughed and told cheesy jokes.

When all of the sparklers went out, I jumped into Beck's arms and kissed him on the cheek.

"I love you." I said. he smiled.

"I can't stop falling in love with you." he said before he kissed me softly on the lips. I kissed back. He pulled away from me.

"We should clean up." he said. I nodded and smiled. we both went to pick up the dead sparklers. I turned around only to be greeted by none other than Emma.

"Have fun swimming." she smirked. Before I knew it she had pushed me off the pier. I free fell. my tiny body hit the water with such force. I was sinking. I couldn't breathe. I opened my eyes to see nothing but black nothingness considering it was 2 in the morning. I sunk like a rock. my lungs ached for air.

I blacked out once again.

Beck's POV(I bet you didn't see that coming😜)

Emma had just pushed Maria off the pier. I screamed for Maria as she hit the water.

"WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU?" I screamed.

"Well she caked me!" Emma scoffed.

"BITCH, SHE CAN'T SWIM!." I shouted. her scoff turned into a smirk.

I took my shirt off and jumped into the pitch black water.

I held my breath praying that Maria would be alright.

I finally found her body and I swam to the surface. I looked at Maria's lifeless face. she looked dead.

She was under for a long time. please don't let her be dead. I live her with all my heart. please.

I swam to the shore and carried her bridal style. her body was limp and lifeless. I ran to the hospital which was about a mile.

I checked in. the nurses took her in.

"Sir, your gonna have to wait!" one of the nurses said as I tried to get past them.

I finally stopped fighting an I sat in the hospital waiting room. soaking wet and I probably smell like a crab trap.

Maria's POV

I woke up with wires attached to my wrists. then I felt the sudden urge to cough. I coughed and water came out. I started hyperventilating. I have no idea what's going on. I pressed a button that says "call nurse" on it.

About a minute later a nurse with blonde hair came in. "what do you need sweet heart?" she asked. her voice was warm and motherly.

"Why am I hear?" I asked. how did I get here?

"You drowned and a young man by the name of Beck had saved you. apparently you went into panic attack under water and we had to shock you back to reality." she said.

"Who's Beck?" I asked.
