"Ugh,I'm literally hating my life right now!" I complained.

"Well,look on the bright side. You can't get any lower than this." Jazzy reassured.

"True.But last week Jae called me out on something that was uncalled for,I got mad over someone who isn't even my boyfriend,and a couple kept dming me on Instagram saying that they would love to f-"

"Sam,did you just say you talked to Jae?" She interrupted.

"Out of all of that,that's the only thing you got from it? I questioned in disbelief.

"Well,what can I say? I think Jae's dreamy! Anyways,do you want something to eat? I made us breakfast."

"No,I'm still full off of the dinner you cooked me last night!" I exclaimed rubbing my stomach.

"I don't know what kind of diet you're on,but if you keep this up you're going to end up developing an eating disorder.For now,I guess,I'll just keep your food in the microwave or something."

I saw the disappointment in her eyes before she left the room. I wanted so badly to tell her my life story--How people would make fun of my weight,and how Josh would always save me from bullys. I even wanted to tell her about how my dad is never around since my mother's funeral--But a word wouldn't come out of my mouth,so I just sat there in self pity for what would seem like merely hours turned out to be only minutes before I went into the kitchen to join her for breakfast.

And there we sat steady yet quietly in our seats baffled at what just happened. Fortunately for us,the phone rang in an instant. It took her three rings,no more that four, to answer the phone to Daniel's majestic voice.

"Hello?" She said putting the phone on speaker.

"Hey, Jazzy. How's it hanging?"

"Pretty good on my part,so what's this about anyway?"

"I'm inviting you and your friends to a party I'm having off campus.So you coming?"

"Yeah."

"Sick. By the way a friend of mine told me to ask you is Samantha coming."

"She'll be there!" She assured him before hanging up the phone.

As soon as I looked over to her she had a creepy smile,so I knew something bad was about to happen.'Oh god' I thought.

45 painful minutes later

"Now don't you look adorable!"

"Adorable my a-"

"Let's take a picture together!"

"Geez,all of this for a party? I can't imagine how you'd treat me if I was getting married...and don't you even think about it!"

"Fine,let's just go." She sighed as we headed out the door.

A couple of minutes after being at the party, I was beginning to have fun. Things were pretty much going up to Jazzy's expectations,but just as I was starting to be optimistic things started to take a turn for the worst.

Just around yonder I heard Daniel saying, Yeah,Sam was hitting on me all this week! I could tell he'd been drinking because his words were all slurred°,and he was screaming almost everything he said. As I listened more,I saw Jake charging towards me.
"Hey,Jake,are you okay?"
He said nothing,but instead kept coming towards me and-
Swish
I was in the water.I was becoming accustomed° to almost dying these days,but this time it was different-This time it was on purpose-And this time I'd likely die.I was there 4 no more than 5 minutes, when I felt two familiar hands,that I knew all too well,wrap around my waist.

After they pulled me out of the water and gave me mouth-to-mouth they smiled,"You're like a damsel in distress."

As my face became a tomatoe I asked,"Why did you take so long to save me anyway?"

"You were in too deep," He replied helping me up,"Who did this anyway?"

"I'm not going to tell you."

"Why not?"

"Because you're gonna get mad."

"Please tell me. I won't get mad,I swear!"

"Fine...Jake did it."

"I knew it! I f-"

"You swore you wouldn't get mad!"

"I'm not mad,I just have to do something real quick. I'll be back."

"Don't hit my girl!"

"Josh!" I whined.
