Lost In Nowhere

Part 7

I imediantly take my hand off the rock I was using for balence and hobble over to the water. Without a thought I jump in. I hear Tristan yelling for me not to but I don't care. My friend was in there. Atleast, I think he was a friend.

"James!" I shout in the water "James!" no responce.

The water was deeper then I thought. From what I was thinking was up to my waist was actually up to me neck in some spaces maybe even deeper. I couldn't even call this place a brook anymore. Maybe it was just a really dried out pound.

Slowly I paddle over to where the bubbles came. Tristan yells at me over and over until finally he lets
Out a fusterated scream and jumps in after me. I let out moans of pain whenever I kicked my feet in the water. My ankle still hurts extremely bad from the bullet and it was only now that I wonder if anybody got it out of me.

Before Tristan could pull me out I dive under and search for James. The water is really dark and cloudy so I had to feel the bottom with my hands. Rocks, pebbles, sticks and mud where the only thing down there. I skim the bottom with one more sweep of my hand before I go up for air. I felt something this time. It was cold and almost squishy.

"Tristan!" I shout "Tristan!"

"What I'm right here." he says from behind me. I turn around fast and our faces almost smash into eachother. "H-he's d-dow-" I mumbles inbetween gurgles of water. Tredding water was almost impossible for me right now. Tristan grabs my waist and lifts me above the water. I spit out some water a little and continue. "I think he's down there!" I stop for a second and frown "Do you think he did this to himself?" I feel a single tear drip down from my face and Tristan rubs it away with his thumb.

"Let's get him, okay?" he says and lets go of me "maybe theres still a chance."

We dive down to the bottom. I feel for what seems like his arm and pull him to the surface fast.

When we lay him down Tristan checks his pulse. "He has a pulse!"

"Okay, I know mouth to mouth." I say. After about 16 times of mouth to mouth and Tristan watching almost with jelousy he spits out water and opens his eyes super fast. It's like he sprung awake from the dead.

"James!" I shout and wrap my arms around him tightly. He puts his arms around me too and we stay like this for a while until Tristan pulls me away. I give him a look and he gives me one back.

"Why where you down there in the first place!?" he spits in his face.

Jamison's eyes look behind me with a mix of fear and anger. "Him." he mutters and grabs my hand.
