For My Sister

Chapter Six

***Georgianna's POV***

I couldn't move. I couldn't speak. I felt like I was frozen In time. I just sat on the beach sobbing in between Dani's legs. She was holding onto me as tight as she could.

"Jace, do soemthing" She says. I could tell she was trying not to cry for my sake.

"I-I... what do you want me to do?" He asks. In that moment, Morgan, Jade, and Wren all came running outside. I guess the screaming snd crying woke them up.

"What the- What happened?" Morgan yells. She stood beside Jace. Wren held Jade in his arms behind Dani and I.

"He came out here to look for her bathing suit cover up, and I came out here and saw him like that!" Jace explains.

"What are you going to do with-" Wren cut himself off. I assumed he didnt want to say 'dead body' infront of me.

"Well, we're going to have to go see what happened" Jace says.

"No. I-I don't want to know" I say. It was the first time I had spoke since I saw his body.

"Georgia, we're going to have to do something" Jace says.

"Let's get you inside before anyone does anything" Dani says. I nod. Jace walks over and picks me up in his arms. He carried me inside. He started to take me to the bedroom, but I stopped him.

"I'll take you to mine and Dani's bed, okay?" He says. I nod. He lays me down in the bed and covers me up. "Are you going to be okay?". I had stopped crying, but I didn't want to be alone.

"Yeah" I say. He starts to walk out. "Uh, Jace?".

"Yeah?" He asks turning around to face me again.

"I...Will you stay with me?" I ask. He raised his eyebrow. "Just until I fall asleep". His dark brown eyes turned a soft warm caramel color.

"Yeah" He says softly. He layed beside me and I nuzzled my head into his body. The truth was that I was so used to falling asleep listening to the beat of Sawyer's heart snd Jace was the closest thing I couldd get to Sawyer.

***Dani's POV***

Morgan, Jade, and I stood still staring st the lifeless body infront of us.

"What the hell happened?" Morgan asks.

"I don't know. Georgia kind of thought it was taking a while for him to get the cover up, so Jace came out here to help him and then we heard a scream and ran outside and Jace was standing here shining the flashlight on Sawyer" I explain.

"Well, we need to see how it happened" Wren says.

"Uh, if you want to go over there, be my guest" I say. Before he could say anything, Jace walked back outside.

"She's asleep in our room. You girls go inside with her" He says. Jade was not good with blood, so she definitely didn't need to be outside.

"I'm staying" Morgan and I say at the same time.

"Someome needs to go sit with Georgia" Jace says.

"We will" Wren snd Jade says in unison. Before anyone could reply, they both hurried inside the house. Morgan grabbed my hand before we walked behind Jace to the dock.

We crept slowly onto the dock. Jace had a pocket knife in his hands, and Morgan and I both held sticks in our empty hands.

"He's face down. If I flip his body over, it might not be very pretty" Jace says before we reach the body on the dock.

"Just go, babe" I say. He turns back around and we keep walking fonally reaching the body.

"Oh, my god" Morgan says.

"Holy- Is that an arrow?" Jace says shining the flashlight on Sawyer's back. A single arrow stuck up from the base of his neck. Jace gripped the arrow and jiggled it lightly. "Damn, it's really in there".

"Don't do that!" I exclaim.

"Babe, it's not like it's going to hurt him. It's what killed him" Jace says. I sigh. "I'm flipping him around, so if you two don't want to see that, turn around and go inside". Morgan and I both looked at each other. She was oddly silent.

"He was like my brother. I don't want to see it" She says. I squeezed her hand lightly then let go.

"Dani, go with her" Jace says. I normally would have fought him in it, but I truly didn't want to know what was going to happen next. I turned around and followed Morgan inside.

***Jace's POV***

I had no idea what I was going to see when I turned Sawyer's lifeless body around. His face was against the deck with his right hand under his chest. I took a deep breath and placed my hand on his shoulder. I flipped him around to face me. His skin was cold and his eyes were glossed over. His mouth was slightly open with blood coming out. In his hand he clutched Georgianna's white bathing suit cover up. It had spot of blood on it as well.

"Who did this to you?" I question knowing he wasn't going to answer me. I had no idea what I was going to do with his body. I didn't want to call the cops and stress out Georgia because of the baby. My best bet was to just weigh him down and let his body sink. I knew we had several anchors, so that was what I was going to do.

After about 10 minutes, I had one anchor tied around his ankle. Before I pushed it into the lake, I slowly pulled Georgianna's cover up from his hands. I took one more deep breath.

"I'm sorry" I say before pushing the body into the water. I watched it sink until I couldnt see him anymore. I never thought I would ever have to experience something like this.oir dream vacation had turned into a nightmare.
