Snow covers all

The first snowflake

Elliot James carter: what a wretched life he has. As the miserable winter break began he was glad to get a break from the place of hell, everyone he hated was at school and now he could finally take a break from it.

The snow crunched, as each step reminded him of how much he was a burden to all, but not all. Caleb Michael Whitmore. The only person Elliot could turn to and not face relentless judgment.

How did it all happen, no one quite remembers, everyone just knows they are best friends and no breaking them apart. If only that was the case.

The walking continued until his legs ached, not much to do around this small town and the walking slowly came to an end whenever Elliot finally reached the bridge, the river that flows through the whole town, it's so close but so far.

As Elliot began to climb the Icy metal bridge, a name called out to him one so familiar but so distant, it was Caleb. He was in a panic seeing Elliot on the bridge as we began to rush over to him, seeing Caleb made tears running down his face, as he was about to get off the icy bridge made his feet slip...

The impact of the half frozen water hit like a tone of bricks, shock waves went through all of Elliot's body as the cold water began to rush and absorb into his lungs.

If only Caleb wasn't there.. what would of happened as Caleb rushed down the bridge to the river jumping in with no hesitation reaching down to Elliot, one arm wrapped around his waist in a tight grip, Caleb refusing to let go,luckily Caleb never skipped a swimming lesson or else Elliot would've never made it.

The icy cold breathes now filled the lungs of poor Elliott as Caleb began to do mouth to mouth, shouting in a panic Caleb couldn't say goodbye; not now, not like this. As the air began to give life to Elliott the coughs began, an excruciating sensation coming up from his throat, all of the water that corrupted his lungs. As life finally began to bring back to Elliot, he couldn't believe the pain of what happened.

"Caleb.. is that you?" He stutter slightly still getting used to the cold icy air striking his lungs. "Yes it's me! Who else would it be?" He said more irritated than glad, " you had no idea how much you scared me!" He said but still a hint of relief under his tone, he was more than glad to save his life and give him mouth to mouth but he'd never tell him that. "You're just lucky I was out here!"

"I know, I know. Thank you so much Caleb" Elliot said in a panic still in shock from what happened. "Yeah yeah thank me later, let's get out of here before you freeze to death (again)" he chuckled slightly as Caleb helped Elliot up, and began the slow icy journey to Caleb's house.
