Talk To Me

Carlos was in the bathtub, crying. He see his razor blade on the sink.

He grabbed it, the starting looking up. He stopped because of Jay opening the door with Mal and Evie.

"Carlos, what the hell?!" Evie grabbed Carlos's wrist.

"Why wouldn't you tell us? We are your best friends." Mal yelled.

"And I am your boyfriend!" Jay cupped Carlos's face.

"I'm sorry, I couldn't find a way to tell y'all, I couldn't keep holding it in, I don't know what to say--"

"Los! Short Version!"

"I'm afraid, Ok?" Carlos yelled.

"Im just afraid." Carlos grabbed his backpack, and ran out of the dorm room.

He ran, Mal was calling his name. They finally followed him. Carlos ran into Lonnie.

"Hey, Carlos! Ready for rehearsal?" She stopped him. "Uh, tell Amanda to take over for me. Just for today. I really have to go."

"Oh, ok." She waved goodbye. "Lonnie! What did you see on Carlos's arm?" Mal ran into her, breathlessly.

"I don't know, but he told me--"

"Nevermind. We gotta find him. Come on."

"Ok, whoa!"

Carlos ran to the enchanted lake, and sat down. "Carlos, no!" Evie stopped him from jumping in the lake.

"No!" Mal screamed as Ben held her back.

It was too late.

"Carlos, why did you have to do this to us? Why?" She cried as Jay held her.

Jay ran into the lake, he saw Carlos's body, breathless.

He grabbed the body, and made it to the top.

He tried CPR.

"1! 2! 3!" Repeatedly said, trying to avenge his lover.

The three cried together as Carlos spat out the water, and touched Jay's face.

"Baby?" He groaned awake.

"Carlos. Baby. Don't scare me like that!"
