imogen’s POV
‘Imogen! Imogen’ I could hear Jumpnow yelling my name but I couldn’t move, I couldn’t talk or get myself to the surface. My head was
pounding and stinging. The world was fading I felt myself sinking
further under the water. All I could remember was jumpnow poking his tounge out at me before a wave crashed into us. ‘Imogen!’ it was Jumpnow, i wanted so bad to talk to him, hug him. Hands were pulling me up, my head broke the surface and I coughed water out of my lungs, I breathed in hard air rushing back into my head. I wanted to talk, I wanted to open my eyes and look at him ‘Far out Imogen. Are you ok? Shit, Squeeze my hand if you can hear me.’ It was so hard, but I managed
to squeeze his hand limply. ‘Thank god’ I could hear the relief in his voice. ‘Bradie!! Quick! Someone call an ambulance!’ Then I blacked out. why did we go swimming at a beach with sane banks and rocks everywhere?
I woke up surrounded in a brightly lit room, in a bed. My head ached, I opened my eyes but everything was out of focus, I blinked hard and opened my eyes again sitting against the wall was a skinny guy in jeans covered in dried sand and a white shirt, his hair straight. Jumpnow was here; I tried to talk but my voice came out all cracked and broken, my throat burned ‘Jumpnow?’ his head snapped up ‘IMOGEN! Thank god your ok!’ he came over to the bed and hugged me hard. ‘What happened?’ my throat ached with every word and my voice cracked, he
handed me a cup of water which hurt to swallow but I drunk it anyway. ’We didn’t see, but we think you hit your head on something on the bottom of the beach, you have a massive bruise, stitches because you cracked your head open, concussion and swallowed A LOT of salt water.’ my head was spinning the world tilting. Jumpnow squeezed my hand ‘Go back to sleep, you had a ton of medicine, you’re high as.’ I laughed weakly and slipped back into unconsciousness.
When I came to again it was darker, the lights dimmed sitting on the
chair in the corner was Shaun, Ashley sitting on his lap. She was asleep, her hands in his but his eyes were open dark shadows under them. voice wasn’t as croaky. ‘It’s quarter past 2 in the morning.’ he yawned and shook Ashley ‘Ash wake up. I need to get up.’ she groaned and stood up. He stood up and hugged her before walking towards me, he dragged another chair over next to the bed. He looked at me and sighed ‘Imogen what have you been doing to yourself?’ I looked at him, he looked stressed and exhausted. ‘Well since you decided you loved a suicidal
psycho, not me and then accused me of hitting on jumpnow, I went to the beach with everyone else.’ i didn’t realise I was crying until he
reached and wiped the tears off my cheeks. Ashley stood up and walked over to Shaun ‘Do you want to be alone?’ I said yes at the same time
he said no, ‘Ash no, i dont want secrets from you.’ she sighed and sat back on her chair in the corner. He sighed again ‘Imogen, don’t do this, I was angry because of what happened, I didn’t mean to kiss you, I really care about you but I DONT love you, Bradie’s one of my closest
friends I think of you like my sister because Bradie’s like family to me and I would do anything to protect you.’ he sounded so tired. He
hugged me then and pulled out his phone chucking it toward Ashley ’Call Bradie.’ she stood up and opened the door closing it quietly
behind her. ‘Shaun I’m sorry I over reacted, but I will always love you, I can’t help it, but please don’t shut me out just because of your girlfriend.
Please.’He breathed in hard and looked at me ‘Fine. What you saw last night was a mistake. Ash did it because she saw you kiss me but she thought
