Alex: Im driving his car- i never drove so if i die, ily all

I run and grab his keys from his dresser. Tears stream down my face as I hop into his car. I start and do what he always does, put the car in reverse, back up, and drive.

I run stop-signs and traffic lights. I don't care. He is all I have left. I keep going until I see the park. I stop the car messily in the small lot. 

I get out and run. I just run.

I see him. He's slowly sliding into the water. His hands are wrapped with braided strands of long grass.

I run as fast as I can. His head sinks under.

I keep running.

He disappears under the water. 

I run.

I get to the edge and see his body sinking deeper.

I dive in after him. I open my eyes in the murky water. John catches my eye. He holds his hands up, making it easier for me to get him.

I swim down, holding my breath as long as I can.

I grab his wrist. He doesn't respond.

I swim up even faster.

My lungs hurt.

My legs hurt.

My arms hurt.

He hurts.
