Wally's POV
Dick and I were walking in the halls towards our lockers talking about random things, when all of a sudden Artemis was dead in front of us. I barely managed to stop myself from crashing into her. "Uh, hi Artemis," I mumbled. I hope she wasn't mad about something, I didn't; think I had done anything wrong lately.
"Hey you two here are your invitations to the party I'm having at my house. Details are on the invitations, bye." She said enthusiastically.
"What was that about?" Dick asked me.
"Honestly, I replied I have no clue." As we walked the rest of the way to our lockers I read the invitation. 'Party at my house this Friday. It starts at 10, bring a swimming suit.
"I'll pick you up before the party tomorrow. See ya," he said as he walked towards his locker
. Okay, I can make it through one of Artemis's parties can't I? I guess we'll just have to see.
Friday night came around and Dick pulled up, luckily Wally was outside so they could leave right away. Wally knew how much Dick loved being on time. "You know Dick, we still have an hour until the party there's not going to be anyone else there."
"It's fine, let's just go."
I sighed and got in the car, this was going to be so boring. Dick rang the doorbell once we got there, and after some yelling from inside the door was open. Artemis looked at me and then Dick and asked, "Why are you here the party's not for another hour?"
"Early is the new on time," Dick said as he smirked.
"You are such a dork. Fine, I guess you can come in and help us finish setting up."
We followed her inside and not too long later we encountered Zatanna. Once she saw Dick she blushed. I looked around and realized something was wrong, almost nothing was done yet. How was she going to have a party if nothing was ready? Taking control of the situation, I made Dick come with me to help set up. We put up the streamers, arranged the tables, cleaned up the area around the pool, and to my disbelief set up multiple kegs. I myself had no idea that Artemis brought alcohol to her parties, but Dick looked at me like it was a normal thing. I guess, being a billionaire, he had been invited to every party by people hoping to get some money. Eventually we finished setting up when everyone else arrived.
Artemis pulled me aside once we were done and handed me a beer, I could tell she wanted me to drink it, but I was hesitant. I didn't exactly want to get drunk at a highschool party where anything could happen. Although, peer pressure won out and I drank it. Then, she handed me another and drank another herself, I could already tell that this was going to get out of hand quickly. By midnight everyone was drunk with all of the alcohol Artemis had provided.
Things were being broken all over the house and outside. To my surprise though, Artemis looked undisturbed by the damage. I couldn't even count how many beers we had, and that was bad.
Later on, Artemis convinced me to go swimming with her in the pool. I told her I'd be right back after I changed. She already had hers on so she got right in. A few minutes later I was back and there was something that looked like blood outside the pool and in the water. I freaked out, I didn't know whose it was. Then, something at the bottom of the pool caught my eye. It was Artemis and she looked in trouble, without even a thought, I jumped in the pool to save her. I carried her out, all the while she lay like a rag doll. I put her on the ground and then pulled my phone from the table with my stuff and called 911. They told me that I needed to do CPR to try to keep her alive until they could get there. So, I did CPR the way I had been taught. Although, it wasn't working, she stayed motionless the whole time. Once the ambulance got there they put her on a stretcher and took her to the hospital, since I wasn't family they wouldn't let me come with them.
In rage, I yelled, "Get out!" To everyone, slowly they all got the message and left. I couldn't believe none of them had even tried to help her. Not too long after that, Dick and Zatanna came over and asked me what happened.
"Where were you guys? She could have died, she could still die!"
"We sorta fell asleep in the basement and didn't wake up until we heard the ambulance."
"Whatever, I'm getting a cab to the hospital. You two should clean this place up, if she comes home.. No when she comes home she should have a tidy place to come back to."
The nodded in agreement and started rearranging things and picking up trash. With that, I headed to the front and waited for a taxi. When one finally came, I gave him the money and told him to step on it. Not too long later, we were there. I couldn't stop wondering whether or not she was going to make it.
