(Perrie)

"Lets go Perrie! C'mon pez!" Leigh and Jesy cheered me on as I cut through the water gliding steadily in front of all the contestants; I smiled, swimming was my life, I met both of the girls here-for training, we have kept in touch ever since, Leigh had been here for two years now, I was admitted in just fresh this year and Jesy was already rated the best swimmer worldwide; strangely she wasn't a snob, or a pushover-she was a kind and nice girl that wanted to live her life and loved me, I smiled-my kind-hearted, fun-loving girlfriend that made time for me no matter how much training we were going through or when she spent time with her little brother Daniel, she was always there for me, and everyone supported our relationship.

I pushed off the end of the pool and started the butterfly stroke back to my friends; Britain was cheering loudly as I cut through the water; I grinned, I sensed victory! I saw Jesy slink onto the platform easily, her muscles flexing while she got ready to dive into the water; I admired her so much, I always looked up to my girlfriend.

Strangely though, she twitched, maybe she's just jumpy, I thought-I shook it off and reached the team touching the stone and saw Jesy's body glide perfectly over me and into the water. I sighed pulling myself out of the pool and into Leigh-Anne's arms. "Ah Perrie you did it! We're doing it!" She squealed. "We're doing it! Yeah!" I squealed with her jumping up and down with the rest of the girls, soon enough the whole swim team was jumping and cheering on my girlfriend as she swam her way back to us, way ahead of the other contestants. While she was swimming her last lap, something happened; she slowed down, I blinked-what was happening!? "What is she doing?!" Leigh gasped. "Jesy!" I shouted; something was wrong. I saw her eyes dilate and she started to thrash right in front of us.

I couldn't get what was happening. "She's having a fit!" Mariana shouted. "Get her out of the water!" Ava screamed, everyone was screaming things and shouting orders at random people, this wasn't going to help!

"Jesy! Please, stop!" I screamed running towards her as she thrashed coming closer to the edge. "No!" I screamed; too late, her head connected with the cement and she went limp sinking into the pool. "Jesy!" I screamed diving into the pool grabbing her around the waist. I kicked off the bottom of the pool with my feet gliding quickly towards the surface. She couldn't die!

My head broke the surface; I gasped clawing at the edge of the pool throwing as much of my girlfriend on the side of the pool as I could.

"Jesy! Can you hear me? Please answer me! Jesy!" I called shaking her face. No response. "C'mon babe! Answer me!" I begged while medics came and performed CPR on her.

"What's happening to Jesy?" A small scared voice asked. "She's going to the hospital babe, c'mon we're going to go with her too." I reassured the small seven year-old. One of the paramedics tried to push me back.

I shook him off staying beside her holding little Daniel with me. Soon they brought a stretcher and lifted her up once the medic said she was breathing. "Are you with her?" One asked me; I grabbed Leigh.

"I'm her girlfriend." I choked out and they let us through and into the ambulance.

"Pez, she's gonna be okay." Leigh-Anne slung an arm around me trying to comfort me; I breathed heavily into her neck feeling Daniel's little arms wrapped around both of us for comfort while Leigh also patted his head.

"It's okay babe, you're allowed to freak-but she's going to be okay. Daniel she's going to be fine buddy." She said stroking my hair like Jesy used to when we would cuddle on the couch at home watching my favorite film-Braveheart. "Thank you Leigh." I said; Daniel hugged her. She nodded.

I breathed in deeply forcing a weak smile when we pulled up to the hospital. "You're welcome baba, come on-go and see her." Leigh walked me through the hospital doors while I took Daniel's hand.
