It was quiet. Only for a moment. A scream came from Taylor and Abby as they ran up to the railing, looking over it, down at the water.

There was no movement in the water, until two heads popped out of the water. Danny gasped for air, holding Jill in his arms. She wasn't moving, but she was breathing. Matt popped his head up as well, coughing a bit.

When Jill had fallen, the two boys quickly went after her. Danny had hopped the railing and grabbed Jill's arm, pulling her close to him so he'd most likely take the damage more than Jill. Matt jumped in, just incase something were to go wrong, and because he didn't think about it.

Danny swam to land, which wasn't too far, and it was just grass. He pulled Jill up onto it before pulling himself up. He sat down and helped Matt up onto it.

"God." Matt finally said, he was pissed.

Danny sat for a moment, looking down at Jill. She was laying down, unconscious it seemed until she opened her eyes and gasped, sitting up quickly. She looked around a little spooked before seeing the two angry, but also worried boys.

"Shit." Jill mumbled before attempting to stand but she ended up tripping over her own foot and falling back down. Danny stood up and grabbed Jill's arm tightly, making sure to not let go of her. Jill began to yell, at him and away.

"Let go of me!" She screamed, "Someone help!"

Danny picked Jill up bridal style, not  caring if she won't punch and slap him, it wasn't anything he couldn't handle.

•••••••••••
The three cars were parked outside the house. Everyone was inside. Jill was on a barstool they brought out for her to sit on, everyone else was either standing or sitting. Danny stood with his arms crossed, staring at the tall blonde in front of them. "So?" He said.

"So?" Jill repeated, glaring up at him.

"What the fuck do you mean 'so?', why the fuck did you run away and why the fuck did you try to kill yourself?" Matt snapped, yelling at Jill.

Jill didn't answer, she just shrugged, "I don't know, just felt like it." She said as if it were no big deal.

"Jill, you fucking scared us half to death, we are your fucking friends!" Matt continued on, "You cant just go off without telling us where the hell you're going, and you can't just go off and try to fucking die! That's not fucking right to us! Do you know how much that would affect us?"

Jill shrugged once more, "I thought about it, didn't think y'all would care much."

Jenna stood up and ran to Jill, giving her a big hug as she was close to crying, "Of course we care Jilly!"

The rest of the girls joined Jenna in the hug, which Jill ended up hugging them back. The girls release themselves from Jill, sniffing and laughing a bit, Jill doing the same.

Jill than begin to cry, "I-I'm so sorry!" She said as she hid her face in her hands, trying to hold back her tears. Abby wrapped an arm around Jill, "It's okay Jilly! Just, tell us why you tried?"

"I uh, I just, I guess i'm just overwhelmed with feelings and emotions." Jill said as she smiled a big smile, looking at her friends.

"Was this because of the whole mall situation?" Scout asked, he was sitting on the couch with his feet propped up on the coffee table.

"Not just because of that, that just added on to the, whatever i'm feeling." Jill said as she laughed a bit more, trying to switch the subject quickly, she didn't want to talk about why she tried.

The group sighed, knowing that Jill was been through some shit in her life, they knew that she would be fine. "Okay, but we're gonna have to switch rooms or something, for now." Matt said, looking at everyone.

"Alright, Scout is going to have to sleep with Etai and Rex for the next few weeks." Matt said, now looking at Scout.

"What? Why? I'll sleep in the guest room instead." He mumbled, rolling his eyes.

"Oh yeah, I guess that works too." Matt shrugged, "Jill, you're staying in me and Danny's room, until we know you aren't gonna try to kill yourself while we're sleeping."

Jill whined, shaking her head, "Id rather not."

"Too bad." Matt said, "Go grab your shit and go in our room, i'll help you with whatever you need."

Jill whined again before sighing, "Fineee." She said before hopping off the barstool and walking out of the living area, into her room.

Jill grabbed a backpack and shoved a bunch of shit she would need. Her phone, which was retrieved on the side of the road by the railing, her laptop, which she grabbed from the guest room, her chargers, clothes, brush, toothbrush and other shit. She exited her room and into Danny and Matt's room. Scout entered the room and did the same, packing his shit up and moving to the guest room. Jill dropped her bag next to Scout's bed, sitting on it.

"We're gonna head out." Hammy said as she said her goodbyes, same with Jenna and Nancy before leaving.

"Alright, I'm going to sleep." Rex said, leaving the living area to his room. Etai shrugged and decided to follow him. They closed their door, Rex flopping onto his couch and Etai his gaming chair.

The girls did the same, walking to their room as they missed Jill being there, but it was going to only be a few weeks.

Matt and Danny go to their room, seeing Jill passed out on Scout's bed. They scoff before plopping down into two bean bag chairs in front of their TV, and starting up Forza 4.
