Once again, a huge thank you to my loyal reviewers, Straight Edge Queen and Livin on the EDGE! I just love the song breath slow!
Chapter 21: Breath Slow
(Third Person)
"Mummy!" Malcolm screamed.
"Sam!" Kayla shouted. Adam held the two kids back as they tried to save Sam and Alex.
Chris ran to the hole, he put a hand in but couldn't feel or see the girls. He took of his jacket and dived in .
It was freezing. This was a shock to his body but he couldn't stop, Sam and Alex where in danger.
Alex, grabbing Sam's leg, tried to Swim into the darkness but Sam pulled back.
'Where are they?' Chris thought to himself. He went up to the surface to catch some breath before going back down again. This time he took a different route and saw the girls fighting.
He grabbed each of them by the hand, even thought Alex kept trying to pull back. Sooner than you could say "Hey!" they got to the surface. Alex and Sam coughing and spluttering all the time.
(First Person - Alex)
Malcolm ran over to me.
"Mummy! Are you OK?" he asked worriedly. I slowly got up and nodded.
"What's gotten into you? You almost killed someone!" Adam shouted, completely ignoring the fact I almost died too.
"Calm down, she's not in a good state either!" Chris was always their to defend me.
"I'm fine, can I stay with you for a couple of nights?" I asked Chris while picking up a comb from my jacket pocket and combing the water out.
"Course," Chris smiled, even though the water was making him even more wet then he already was.
"Adam - you were this close to loosing somebody you love, but trust me, this isn't the end," I threatened, still sitting down next to the boys.
"You just stay away from out family!" Sam shouted. "I stayed on that ice lake with you! I tried to help you!" she added. Before I could reply, Adam got her and Kayla into the car.
"Come on Malcolm!" he shouted. Malcolm ran over to him, still turning back to look at me. With his tiny, little hand, he waved goodbye to me. Just watching him walk away with that little hand waving back at me made me burst into tears.
Chris got a phone call.
"Hello? Yeah, right next to me, duh!…OK," Chris handed the phone to me. 'It's Shawn,' he mouthed to me.
"Hi. I'm fine…nothing, I didn't do anything…no I'm not lying…I already told you …no…How do you know if somebody sounds wet?…Wait, who's everyone?" That's perfect, Shawn, Hunter and all my best friends are surrounding one phone listening to me!
I turned off the phone and gave it to Chris. "They got everyone listening to me," I said with no emotion.
"They just care about you, like you said, they treat you as if you were their daughter!" Chris reminded me.
"Sometimes I just want my privacy!" I said.
"Hunter and Shawn are both parents, you know if something like that happened to their kids they would do the same thing!" Chris said.
"Fine, I'll go and see them!" I replied.
"I'll drive you,"

I opened the door - hoping not to see every single person I knew there - who am I kidding? I'm a very unlucky person, of course they were going to be there!
"Hello," I said quietly, followed by a series of coughs. Mickie ran over to me.
"Don't tell me it was because of the thing with Adam…" Mickie started. I nodded. "And you're all wet! Where were you?" she asked, loud enough for everyone to hear.
"I see your suicide bid didn't work," Hunter whispered in my ear. "Why would you want to do that anyway?" he asked.
I flicked my hair - resulting in his face getting wet.
"I cant do this…" I whispered to myself and ran out to the car. "Chris I cant do it! All the questions and everything, I cant do it!" I said.
"I'll talk for you," Chris got out of the car and walked inside, I slowly followed him.
"OK, listen up everybody, Alex is too afraid to say what happens because she knows what you guys are like," Chris started. He turned to me. "Do you want to tell?" he whispered, I nodded.
"OK guys. Here's the truth, I'm only going to say this once," I took a deep breath.
"It's OK," Chris whispered, putting a hand on my shoulder.
"I found out some terrible news the other day and, it really made me angry. You see, from the very moment I stepped into a WWE Arena, I was doomed. I've been lied to, cheated on and dumped on for many years and today, I wished it would all end, so I…well, it's a long story but basically, it all ended in me almost drowning in a lake, I actually did that because I wanted to commit…suicide,"
Mickie gave me a big hug while I cried on her shoulder.
"I'll call you," Mickie said while Chris took me away.

That night I stayed in the guest room. I didn't want any comfort or anything, just to be on my own. I sat up with my knees next to my chest. I wondered what everyone was thinking, I almost died. I could have never gone back and explain what happened.
My phone rang (I had left it at Chris' house) and Breath Slow by Alesha Dixon played.
I love you too much it shows, all my emotions go out of control oh whoa whoa
Good for you bad for me when I can hardly see from the tears that flow oh whoa
Cant forget to breath slow
Count from one to ten
With my eyes closed
Cos ladies take it in
And get comp-oh-oh-oh-sure
Before I lose it get comp-oh-oh-o-sure
Those lyrics got to me. My emotions have gone out of control and guess what? Adam gained more love from his long lost daughters. All us ladies lose composure sometimes, and that happened to me that day.
I burst into tears and I cried for the whole night.
