Skip and Beau

Chapter 3: The Dream

So...none of you commented which is a little depressing, but I wanted you to keep reading...so PLEASE give feedback this time. Enjoy! xx

I was in the water park, in the slide where I had just passed out actually...but I wasn't. I saw myself and Beau, like I was spectating the entire incident from above. Watching everything happen just as it did. But I couldn't hear anything.

OH I'm dreaming! Does this always happen when someone passes out? It was all so real, like I was watching what happened when my leg got stuck as if it was in a movie and the cameras were up here.

Well I guess I want to see what happens, I wonder what hit me in the head?

I was shouting at Beau, and he was running down the conveyor belt when the person's feet in the tube that came after us hit me right in the head. Ow, that's gonna hurt when I wake up.

So tube guy get's out of his tube now, helping Beau lift me out of the slot where I got stuck, and they're laying me down gently in the slide. Beau was crying.

The conveyor belt had turned off now, and lifeguards had come down the slide, everyone was taking me out into the opening of the slide. One gave me mouth-to-mouth for what seems like forever, I guess my lungs need a lot of air!

My point of view was now shifted to outside in the park, where a huge steel ladder was being used to take me, Beau, tube guy, and the rest of the lifeguards down to safety. All of the rides appeared to be shut down, and everyone from my school was watching nervously. The first person I looked for was Skip. He was at the bottom of the ladder with Luke, Jai, and James, helping everyone down. His face was hard, like he had just been slapped and didn't know how to react.

Once they brought everyone down, some medics pushed all of the boys except for Beau away, because he witnessed everything, and they put me in to a stretcher and carried me to an ambulance. Beau was right behind them. It looked like he didn't want to leave me. Once we all arrived at the  ambulance, the medics shook their heads at him, pointing towards the park, telling him to leave. It looked like he was pretending he got hurt too, but again, the medics told him to leave, probably telling him to go to the park's nurses. His heart sank, and he turned around, leaving me alone in the ambulance.

Once the nurses in the park were informed Beau also had an "injury", they came rushing over. They clearly didn't understand that he was actually faking it to be with me. Beau refused any medical help, making them leave so he could be with the rest of the boys, Emma, and Shiva.

Once they finally stopped comforting him, he started to talk, stumble over his words, and had a confused look on his face. His eyes were still a noticeable red from crying, and I don't ever want to see him like that ever again. It broke my heart.

I know this was very hard on him, but Beau was usually very confident, even in a situation like this. 

"IT'S ALL MY FAULT DAMMIT!" screamed Beau. I could just tell exactly what he was saying, even without sound. "I SHOULD'VE GOTTEN TO HER FASTER."

No Beau! I wanted to yell. It was my fault! I didn't know about the little hole in the slide! Please don't be sad!

As all of them were asking what happened, one little nod from Beau seemed to get the biggest reaction, especially from Skip. What was the question? Who asked it?

Skip's face contorted into the same dark expression he had on the bus when I asked him why his family moved here. That face. Even though I just met him, I would do anything to make the darkness he's hiding from the rest of us go away. And why is he making that face? What did Beau tell them all to impact them like this?

I couldn't watch this anymore. Time to wake up, Sara.

Wait, why would Beau answer one little question so softly and get a huge reaction. And what did the medics in the ambulance really say when they told Beau to leave me there?

Oh my God.

Am I dead?
