Marks P.O.V
I wake up and a bright light is burning my eyes. Everything is blurry, what happened? I see someone in the corner of my eye.
"Excuse me?"
"Oh good you're awake. You've been asleep for two days. Do you want anyone or anything?" Says a nice woman.
"Umm well I would like some water please," Mark asks suddenly realizing how scratchy his voice was. "And do you know why I'm here? I don't remember, also everything is kinda blurry."
"Oh sweetie," she says a slight hint of sadness in her voice. "You hyperventilated at the pond near your school, and your umm friend he passed away. And it should ware off."
No this isn't happening. No, no, no, GOD DAMN IT!
I feel burning tears fall gently down my face. "Jack, his name was Jack."
"Yes that's what people called him his actual name was Séan."
"Mama?" A sharp pain goes through him.
"Yes?"
"I," breath,"feel like," breath ,"I can't breathe.
"Oh sweetheart, did you love him?"
"Yes. I did, very very much."
"He would want you to move on. He came here often. I knew him and when I found out I cried because he did this to himself he wasn't thinking clearly."
"I just feel like I could have done something to prevent this. I should have done something! Damn it! I could have saved him! AHHHHHHH!!"
"I have to go now. Okay? Your moms on her way here. Just know he loved you. I know because he told me. I knew him kind of on a personal level."
"Thank you."
