Chapter 5
It felt like forever as Jay trudged though the cold water to the steps, with Harper in his arms. He could tell Harper wasn't breathing, he put Harper on his shoulder and began pounding on his back. Harper let out a viscous cough right as Jay made it to the steps of the pool. The couch quickly scooped Harper out of Jay's arms and rushed towards the infirmary. Evie and Carlos helped Jay out of the pool and Audrey wrapped the shaking Jay tightly in a towel.
"OK children swim time is over go back to your rooms and get ready for dinner." Fairy Godmother said firmly.
"Counselors please do a head count before you leave and make sure you have all your children! " she added seriously.
Carlos and Jane quickly began to gather up the rest of their group. The boys who we're roughhousing we're sitting on the beach chairs looking scared and pale as Ben was giving them a stren talking to. Audrey stopped Jay from going over to them.
"Get the boys back to your room and go check on him. I'm sure he is fine you got to him in time. You saved him." Audrey spoke softly in his ear.
"He wasn't breathing! They pushed a little kid in the pool and he stopped breathing. Something needs to happen to them not just a slap on the wrist." Jay growled.
"Jay, Ben will handle this please just get your group and go to your room." Audrey begged.
Doug came over carrying a crying Connor.
"I'm so sorry Jay he must have unhooked his vest after he went to the bathroom. Connor is really upset that Harper fell in I'll take him with me until he calms down!" Doug rubbed Conner's back.
"Can you help Carlos get the boys back to the room? So I can go check on Harper." Jay asked looking like he wanted to run.
"Sure of course." Doug nodded.
"We'll make sure they get back to the room safely." Evie rubbed is back.
Jay took off at a run to the infirmary. When he got to the infirmary Harper was sitting up in a bed wrapped in blankets. He was talking a mile a minute into a phone pressed to his ear.
"He's OK! Thanks to your fast thinking. Great job Jay!" Coach patted him on the back.
Jay shrugged at the compliment.
"Who is he talking too?" Jay chuckled pointing to Harper.
"We called his parents. He hasn't stopped telling them how cool you and Carlos are. I knew you would have a good impact on them"
Jay was a little flabbergasted they had messed up twice and almost drowned a kid and Harper was talking like he was a hero or a prince, he didn't understand.
"Got to go mommy Jay is here to get me. Here is coach." Harper gave coach his phone back.
Coach gave Jay one more pat on the back before turning to talk on the phone.
"You ready to go back to the room and then get some dinner?" Jay was just relieved that Harper was OK.
"Yeah I'm starved but I don't have my shoes." Harper pointed to his barefeet.
Jay turned his back and Harper hopped on with a grin. Jay waved to the coach as he left the infirmary. When they got back to the room they could hear laughing coming from inside. Jay opened the door to see Dude hopping from Alan to Gene to Connor and Cole's cot making the boys laugh hysterically. Carlos was sitting on his bed grinning at his furry friend. Doug was standing at the bathroom door. Andrew came trotting out of the bathroom in just boxers and wet hair.
"Harper!" Connor jumped up and ran to his friend.
All the boys came around Harper.
"Are you feeling OK buddy?" Doug asked.
"Yeah my tummy hurts some from the water and my chest from coughing but the nurse said that will go away soon." Harper explained.
"You scared me!" Connor frowned.
"You scared all of us!" Carlos added.
"Sorry!" Harper shrugged.
"Everyone else has had a bath tonight. Why don't you hop in there before dinner and then you can play video games before bed." Doug suggested.
"Ok!" Harper went to his cot for his bath stuff.
Jay flopped on his bed the camp hadn't even started and he was exhausted.
