I regret it so much.
I cannot believe the words that came out of my mouth.
I do love her.
She doesn't know this, but I have a temper. I overreact sometimes.
And to me, love is not something you fool with.
I run through her front door and scream, "Avery! Please! I'm sorry! I love you you!"
I must admit, I'm surprised at her reaction.
She just laughs.
"Too late." She says.
Too late for what?
"Avery? Too late for what? You're scaring me." I say.
No answer.
I guess I deserved that one.
"Avery?" I whisper.
My reaction is almost instant.
I snatch a tooth pick out of my bag, and jam it in the lock.
Please be ok. Please.
I slowly open the door, and shock fills my eyes.
Oh no.
I don't usually curse, but I'm sure this is an exception.
She is dead.
I feel like I could punch something.
Avery's dead.
You idiot! You haven't even checked!
I slowly walk to her, afraid of what I might discover, and slowly lift her out of the Rosy red water.
I near my ear to her chest and breath a sigh of relief.
Her hearts beating, and she's breathing.
Tear bring to my eyes - Tears of joy.
Words cannot describe how joyed I am.
Maybe, just maybe, I could, when she wakes up, I could -
No. You're an idiot.
Then it occurs to me -
I did this to her.
I almost killed her.
I stop wasting time, and call the ambulance.
The sound of sirens fill my ears.
Thank god.
