Catching Up

*BILLY'S POV*

He blinks regaining his senses the last thing he remembered was being at home sitting on his bed. Y/n is here but why? He immediately releases the pressure off her his hand leaving a mark on her neck. He quickly grabs her guiding her to the ground next to the smashed strawberries. "Y/n?" he bends down in-front of her "y/n?" Billy grabs her face. He grabs her shoulder "y/n please... wake up..." tears well in his eyes as he shakes her trying to wake her up. He stops shaking her immediately grabbing y/n and lifting her up. Putting y/n over his shoulder he walks to his camaro gently placing her on the hood. Luckily for his lifeguard training he was forced to do mandatory cpr classes. He never thought they would do any good he wouldn't ever want to place his mouth on any filthy kid. Billy places his hands between y/n chest interlinking his fingers. He begins to pump her chest desperately trying to get to 120 compressions per minute. "Come on..." he mutters under his breath continuously pumping her chest. Tears begin to fall from his eyes as he bends down placing his mouth to hers.

*Y/N'S POV*

Your head was fuzzy it feels like you're still dreaming but aware of your surroundings. You hear Billy's voice in the distance calling out for you. "Y/n!" you hear him faintly you try to sit up, call out, anything to tell him your alive that you hear him. It goes black again Billy's voice fades into the background until it was silent. Opening your eyes again you feel water underneath you but your entire surroundings were a black abyss. You felt lightweight almost like you could fly standing up you something in the distance. You squint trying to see better it looked like Billy leaning over his car. You take a step the water underneath you splashing you look down at ripples your shoe created. This didn't make sense where were you? Continuing you see Billy come into a clearer view he was standing over his car but you were there to. Unconscious you were laying on your back your crimped hair falling onto the hood of his camaro. He was doing cpr tears falling from his eyes onto your unconscious body. You reach out to him desperately trying to get back to tell him you're here. Upon placing your hand on him he looks up staring right into your soul. Immediately stepping back you trip over your own feet falling backwards. Expecting the hard ground of the dark abyss you fall onto a sandy beach immediately feeling a cold ocean wave consume you. Sitting up you felt your clothes stick to your skin your shoes full of water. You look to your right seeing a blonde woman in a white sundress holding a brown straw hat. She's ecstatic yelling out to someone she waves the wind blowing hair in her face.

Getting up you see a small blonde boy run up to her holding a surf board. The waves come up to your ankles feeling your leg warmers get soaked once again. The woman smiles as the boy places down his surfboard "you did it!" she exclaims kissing him on the forehead. Slowly walking up to the pair you stop at the yellow surf board lying on the sand. "Did you see that? that was at least seven feet!" the boy smiles as the woman places her hand on his shoulder. "I don't know what it was but it almost gave me a heart attack" she squeezes his shoulder. "10 more minutes?" the boy asks giving her puppy dog eyes the woman than reluctantly agrees. "Any longer than that dad's gonna be mad okay?" she yells out to the boy running over to his surf board. You step back watching the boy pick up the board "Billy?" the woman yells out "watch out for rip currents!" You feel your sink a little remembering him talking about his mother to you. A large storm rumbles in the distance red lightning striking around the grey clouds. You begin to walk up to the storm a wet slushing in your shoes as you walked. Was this what El saw when she tried to find the source? You remember her talking about a beach, a woman and California this has to be what she saw. Approaching the storm you see a young Billy being yelled at his father holding baseball bats pointing at him. "Hey! Billy stop!" the dad yells you feel your heart ache as you walk closer to the raging storm. "What the hell is wrong with you!? what did we talk about? you gotta slide!" his dad places a hand on his shoulder. "I know..." the young Billy nods at his father tears wheeling in his eyes. "Afraid you're gonna get hurt? is that it?" the dad pulls the young Billy closer. "No..." young Billy tries to step back unable to due his fathers grasp. "What did i raise a pussy for a son!?" his father yells at him before Billy tears away from his grasp. You begin follow young Billy glancing at his father while passing be looked enraged.
