5. Coming and Going

Bennett's P.O.V

My gut told me to check on Ever so I did. I heard her music blasting. God spoke to me and told me go help her. I tried to unlocked the door, but it wasn't working so I burst through the door. I didn't see her anywhere. I knew she was in the bath tub that was over flowing with water. I ran to the water, picked her up, laid her on the ground, and started to blow into her mouth as I held her noise. I put my hands over her heart, and pushed fifteen times. I blew into her mouth again, and nothing. I kept on going. Pushing her chest fifteen times, and blew into her mouth as I plugged her noise. She sat up and threw up water. I rubbed her back and I wrapped a towel around her. I picked her up, and lay with her in the bed. I rubbed her back and she started crying.

"He's gone" I heard through the sobbing. I didn't know what she was talking about, and I felt sorry. I only knew her today, and it felt like I knew her.

"I don't know who's gone" I said being honest.

"My uncle" She said and started to scream. She sat up and screamed. The scream was like something trying to get out of her lungs or like she was dying repeatively inside. You could feel the emptiness and sadness in that scream it made me start to tear up. Her hands were in fists and she started to hit the bed, "Just leave me; I want to be alone and die."

She was crying so hard she started gasping for air as she cried. She wrapped the towel around her and got off the bed. I sat up and went in front of the bathroom door.

"No, I can't let you die" I said. Pain grew in her eyes and she started to hit me. I kind of moved away and she quickly pushed me out of the way. I grabbed her wrist and she fell to the ground. I went down with her and I let her head rest on my chest. I rubbed her back and she took deep breathes of air. I started to pray in my head, 'God, please come. Even though she won't let you be by her side, just keep trying. Talk through me to her and thank you for my love ones.'

"I want to get dressed," Ever said pointing to her dress. I handed her her underwear, and she put them on. She dropped the towel and I held out her dress. I kept my eyes down as she rested her hands on my shoulders to keep herself up. I closed my eyes until she turned around. I tied the back, and rubbed her arms, "God has abandoned me, and I don't care anymore."

I watched her walk to the bed and just sit down. Ace and Stacy came in laughing and when they saw her they looked at me. My clothes were wet and my hair was wet as well from brushing my fingers through it. Ace quickly sat down next to her and I stood next to Stacy. Ever looked up at me and her makeup was very smudged.

"What happened?" Ace looked up at me and I nodded my head suggesting for her to tell him.

"I got really sad, and I decided to take a shower; when I slipped, Ben, came in to help me" Ever said smiling.

"Are you okay?" Ace asked and she looked at me. She nodded and looked at Ace.

"Sorry, for scaring you. How about you take Stacy to that special place, and I'll hang out with Ben here because I have a headach" Ever said smiling at him. She touched his face and they started into each other's eyes like they secretly loved each other. I set my hand on Stacy arm and she looked at me disappointed.

"I'm sorry" I whispered in her ear and she nodded.

"They've been friends longer, its fine" Stacy whispered back in my ear. I looked at her and she messed with my hair.

I turned my head at Ever and she was staring at me. Ace was still staring at her and I felt awful.

"I'm feeling kind of sick, why don't we just go home?" Stacy suggested. I knew she was going to be crying tonight. Ever nodded and Ace looked disappointed.
