His Girl

chapter 8

It seemed like we had been driving forever. The man was driving whilst talking to the girl who had joined us. I think she was called sophie. Logan,Ethan and me sat in the back. They were having their own conversation and I couldnt help but feel like I didnt belong.
"We're here" Ethan shouted and jumped out of the car.

The place we were at looked beutiful apart from the water. I was terrified of water.
"I havent been here in so long baby" sophie squealed as she ran up to the house.
We all walked up to the house, I was just wishing I could be anywhere but here.

After finding out we are stopping the night we then proceeded to unpack our bags, i didng even know I had one.
We were now stood at the beach. Logan was already on a jet ski as he had gone out earlier. I didnt know it involved water.
"You gonna be ok" the man asks.
No.
"Yes of course" I lie
That was my first mistake.
"Come on babe" sophie said.
"guess you're stuck with me" ethan said and I nodded, maybe it wouldnt be to bad.
We got on the jet ski, ethan was obviously driving I was sat behind him "hold on tight" he told me and started the engine.
I only just had time to grab hold of him as we went zooming off. I clung on to him for dear life.
After a while I began to relax, nothing bad had happened, I wasnt fully in the water.
"Guys let's go for a swim" Ethan declared once all the engines had stopped. Everyone agreed with him and jumped into the water."cant I stay on here" I ask ethan who was waiting for me to leave. "Nope" he said popping the p. He then proceeded to push me in.

I felt the water hit my lungs, panic set in. I was going to die. I was sinking and thrashing around.
This was it, this is the end.

James POV
Ethan pushed her in and that was when chaos started
Harper never came back up. "Fuck dude why did u do that" Logan shouted at Ethan who was panicking. "I didnt mean too, I'm so sorry" he said tears coming down his eyes.
I roll my eyes at the commotion and dive under the water. I see Harper she was struggling and then she stopped. Her body went still. Fuck.
I dive further until I can reach her. I quickly reach the surface but still no movement shes out cold.
"Fuck" logan shouts as he grabs the nearest jet ski and I put her on it.
"Baby just leave her, she will be fine" sophie says.
Honestly sophie is annoying, we hook up sometimes and now she has it in her head we will end up together. Not a chance. The only reason shes here is I told her I would hang with her this weekend. "Does she look fine to you sophie" I ask getting impatient. "Well not really but it's her fault" sophie whines  I snap, no one will dare insult my Harper.
I climb onto the Jetski and look behind the others have gotten in their own, sophie riding with Logan. "I'll see you guys at the house" and with that I start the engine

After arriving back I carry her into the house and upstairs. She will be annoyed if I change her, but she will catch a cold if i don't change her. Maybe i should try wake her first. I grab a towel and wrap it around her then grab another and wrap up her hair.
Her breathing was faint but at least she was alive. I stood watching her chest rise and fall for a minute. "Harper" I gently shake her, hoping for a response however failed to get one.
I dont want her to get ill so I try to dry her the best I could with her clothes on.
I try again "harper you need to wake up"
No luck. I sigh knowing if I changed her she would fear me even more. I just wish she told me she couldnt swim. I wrap the blankets around her and leave the room.

"How is she" ethan said as soon as I enter the living room.
They were all sat in the living room watching tv.
"Breathing but unconscious" I reply acting like I wasnt bothered and sit down. I was bothered though, how could I not. Harper was innocent and I wanted to protect her from all the bad in the world, which was ironic because I was a bad person.
