Saving You Saved Me...

Chapter 17

TW: Sucide attempt

Prince POV

So we run as fast as we can to the beach and if the circumstances were different I would just admire how beautiful and calm it is at night. We look around for any sign of her and we see a girl all the way at the end of the beach with a huge backpack that looks way too heavy for her. We start walking towards her and call out to her, she turns around and we can't really tell her facial expression but we can tell that is her. Before we can convince her to not do this, she walks into the water a few steps before she drops straight down due to her bookbag. I ran track in school so I can run a lot faster than King, I yelled for him to call an ambulance as I sprinted towards where I saw her dropped and dive in after her. I can see her but she's picking up speed dropping down because of the bookbag. I swim downward as fast as I could until I barely reach the handle part of her bookbag, I rush to get the book bag off of her so I can bring her up to shore. Once I get the book bag off of her I can put her body on my back and try to swim back to the top as fast as I can. It seems like it took forever due to how far down we were but I finally got us back up to shore. She's not responsive and her pulse is very weak, I would give her CPR but I don't have enough energy to do it. King rushes over and checks on me and then starts giving Dream CPR until the ambulance arrives. After compressions and a few deep breaths, she starts to cough up water so King turns her on her side to finish. When it seems like she's done he lays her head in his lap and tries to keep her conscious.

"Dream, I'm sorry. I'm sorry you felt like this was the answer"

"King..."

"You're gonna be okay now, I can't let you leave me"

"I have to go"

"No, stay up please, help is almost here"

"I...liked...you *goes unconscious*"

Just as she goes out the ambulance arrives and get her situated inside with oxygen and everything. They ask if we are both coming along and I tell King to go and text me the address so I can get Hope and meet him there. One EMT stays with an oxygen tank and a mask to get me back steady and insists that I be evaluated to see if I have any water or damage to my lungs. As King and the rest pull off, the EMT calls Hope from my phone and asks her where she is so she can come to the beach and ride down with me. Hope must have run because she's still in her pjs and slippers in very cold temperatures. The EMT smaller ride pulls up, we get on and head to the hospital.

~At the hospital~ King POV

They want to keep Prince overnight due to him taking in quite a bit of water into his lungs. They are a little swollen so they are giving him medicine and he should be discharged by tomorrow morning. Dream, on the other hand, is in stable condition. She had a lot of water in her lungs but Prince got her out just in time. She's sleep now but they are keeping her on suicide watch until they feel she is well enough to go home.

"I don't know how to repay you, man you saved her life. She may not appreciate it when she wakes up but she will later and I definitely am grateful for you rescuing her"

"No problem, I care about her too and I knew that if we lost her I would lose you too. I see the good she's done and I couldn't let all that progress be destroyed"

"I don't know how to help her, I don't know how to fix her...*looks at Hope & Prince* what do I do from here?"

"Speak to her from the heart, you have been asking her to be vulnerable...now it is your turn. You have to lay everything out on the table, let her see that you are no longer playing her little games. That you are serious about her and if she cares anything about you she needs to work with you"

"If it will possibly save her the way it saved me, I'll do it with no hesitation as soon as I feel she is well enough for it"

A/N: What will King say when Dream wakes up? What will happen when Dream wakes up? What will happen after everyone is out of the hospital? I guess you'll have to wait to find out. Thanks for reading my story. I love you all. Until next time, XOXO
