Theodore's POV

It's been a whole week since my attack happened and I was finally released out of the hospital. Thank God too. I didn't think I could take it over there. The hospital food was terrible. And that was the first time in my life that I had actually hated a kind of food before. Yuck. I think I still have the horrible taste in my mouth. I felt like I was going to vomit any minute.

I layed back on the couch and held my stomach. I tried to block out the thought of the food there. It was just torture. But I had to eat something. So I ate it anyway.

"Are you okay Teddy?" Eleanor asked with a worried expression as she began rubbing my back gently.

That made me feel relaxed that I didn't feel like vomitting any more.

I smiled at her. "Yeah, I'm fine. I just felt a bit sick all of a sudden. But don't worry. I'm okay now." I reassured her.

"Are you sure?" She asked me.

I nodded. "Yeah. I'm sure." I told her.

She sighed. "Alright. If you say so."

Suddenly Alvin and Brittany walked into the room. They had smiles on their faces.

"Hey guys what's up?" Eleanor asked them.

"Oh nothing. Britt and I just thought that you guys might want to hang at your place and maybe even hit the pool there." Alvin told us as he smiled widely at Brittany which she returned.

"Oh. That sounds like fun. Don't you think so too Teddy?" Eleanor asked me gently while smiling.

I blushed a bit as she looked at me smiling that smile of hers. "Yeah. I guess it does sound fun." I told her smiling back at her shyly.

"Great. We'll see you boys there then. Come on Ellie. We need to get ready before the boys come over." She told her as she grabbed her hands and pulled her up from the couch.

"See ya Teddy." She waved to me as she left.

I waved back. "Yeah, see ya."

As soon as they were gone I saw my brother smirking at the corner of my eye.

I looked at him. "What?" I asked him.

He just shrugged his shoulders and chuckled a bit. "You like Eleanor."

My eyes grew wide. "What? No, no. That's- that's silly. She's just my best friend and-" I was interrupted by another chuckle.

"Oh Theodore. No need to be so defensive about it. I know you like her. It's pretty obvious you do." He shrugged his shoulders looking at me.

I looked down shyly. "Is it that obvious?" I asked him.

He shook his head laughing. "No. I mean Eleanor can't see you do so no. It isn't." He told me.

I sighed releived a bit. "So are we going to get ready or what?" I asked him.

He smiled and nodded. "Of course we are." He told me as he went upstairs with me trailing along behind him.

We got everything we need for the pool and we all left with Dave coming with us.

As soon as we got there all three girls were in their swim suits and were just about to get into the pool.

"Hey girls." Simon greeted them as he went to talk and swim with Jeanette.

"What up Britt?" Alvin asked her smirking as she rolled her eyes at him.

"Alvin, you already saw me a few minutes ago." She stated.

He only laughed a bit and smirked again. "So?"

I looked over at Eleanor and she waved at me smiling. I waved back at her and approached her.

"Hey Ellie." I greeted her.

"Hey Teddy." She greeted back and giggled. "Do you wanna come in?" She asked me.

I smiled and nodded. "Sure." I sat next to her at the edge of the pool and we both went in.

I shivered as the cold water shocked through my body and made me shiver. "It's cold." I stated.

She smiled at me. "Yeah. It is." She agreed with me.

"Hey guys. I got the perfect idea on what to do!" Alvin announced grinning.

Simon rolled his eyes. "Yeah. We're doing it now." He told him as Jeanette giggled.

Alvin glared at him. "Yeah. Duh Simon that is why we're in the pool right now. I meant I know we can do in the pool." He hinted.

We all looked at him in confusion. Brittany seemed to be the only one who got what he was talking about. "Oooh, great idea Alvin!" She giggled jumping up and down a bit in the pool.

"Huh?" I cocked my head to the side in confusion.

Alvin rolled his eyes. "Boy are you guys thick. I'm talking about having a..." He splashed some water over at Simon.

"Hey!" Simon yelled.

"Water fight!" Alvin announced as everyone then began to splash one another with water. We did that for a few minutes before we were all out of it.

"Well, that was fun while it lasted." I commented as Eleanor began to giggle at what I said.

"Yeah. And you would too. You weren't the one being ganged up on by your best friends sisters and brothers!" Simon told me angrily wiping his face and glasses with his hands and couphing up some water he accidently swallowed.

"Hey. It's okay Si. They were only trying to have some fun." Jeanette told him placing a hand on his shoulder. He calmed down and smiled at her.

Before anyone else could say anything Dave and Miss Miller came out with some refreshments.

"Who wants some?" Miss Miller asked us as her and Dave placed them on the table.

We all immediately got out of the pool and to the table. We each got our drinks along with Dave and Miss Miller and began talking with our counterparts as Dave and Miss Miller went back inside.

But then suddenly, I noticed Jeanette head back into the pool. She was staring at it closely. I was suddenly confused and went over to her.

"Jeanette?" I caught her attention and looked at me. "Are you alright?" I asked her a bit worried.

She was quiet for a few seconds before giving me a small nod. "Yeah. I'm fine."

"Is something wrong?" We heard a voice ask behind us. We turned to see Simon approach us with a curious expression on his face as he looked at me then back at Jeanette and then at me again.

I nodded. "Yeah. Everything is okay. It's just that Jeanette here..." I didn't have to go on. Simon understood what I was saying and moved his head to look at Jeanette.

"Are you okay Jeanette?" Simon asked her gently.

Again, Jeanette stayed silent looking over at the water with a sort of worried expression.

"Jeanette?" Simon asked her again but a bit worried this time.

She once again looked back up and at Simon. She nodded. "Yeah. I'm fine." She said.

"Jeanette. I know you. There's something wrong. Please tell me." He pushed gently.

She sighed. "Yeah. It's silly. But I feel like there's something in the water." She told him.

"Really?" He raised his eyebrow at her.

She nodded. "Yeah. I got a bit scared and tried to find out what it was." She told him looking a bit worried.

Simon looked at me with a look of concern. I only shrugged at him. He sighed and turned back to Jeanette.

"It was probably your imagination. See, there is no sound coming from the water." He assured her.

"But Simon. I heard a noise. It was coming from the water." She pointed at the water.

"What's going on?" Eleanor asked approaching us.

Simon sighed. "Jeanette heard something in the water." He told them.

Jeanette stomped her foot. "That's because I did hear something in the water. I did." She insisted.

"Well maybe it was your imagination Jeanette." Alvin told her as he came up to us after overhearing.

"It was not. I really did heard a noise." She told us.

"Jeanette. We understand that you heard something but maybe it was all in your head." Brittany told her gently.

She sighed and looked over at Simon. "You believe me. Right Simon?" She asked him hopefully.

He only stared at her for a few seconds. "I-I don't know Jeanette. Maybe it was your imagination and you were hearing things."

She looked dissapointed at him and looked at the ground. Then she looked over at the pool and sighed again. "You know what, maybe you guys are right. Let's just get in the pool and swim then." She told us.

We all nodded and turned to the pool ladder to go in. Jeanette went in first. She seemed like she was hesitating as she went in.

But as soon as she got in and Simon was about to get in the water began moving...a lot.

It came to the point where the ground started shaking and Jeanette began panicking.

"Help! Help! What's happening? What's going on?" She cried out to us as she tried to reach out for the ladder to get out of the pool.

But then something really terrifying and unbelievable happened. The water formed into what looked like a hand made out of water and attacked Jeanette.

"JEANETTE!" Simon, Brittany and Eleanor yelled out.

My eyes were widened and I took a shaky step back. I didn't feel like being attacked a second time. But Jeanette was in trouble so I was hoping she would be okay and get out of there.

I turned to look at the others. Her sisters were crying. Both me and Alvin went over to them and pulled them close to us. I rubbed Eleanor's back in hope she would calm down.

"Shhh. Ellie, she'll make it. You have to have faith that she will make it out alive." I whispered in her ear.

She began crying in my chest. "Oh Teddy!" She hugged me tightly and I returned the hug.

Brittany was no different. She was holding Alvin tightly around his waist with her head on his chest as she cried. He seemed happy and worried. Happy that she was holding him and worried because I know he hated to see her cry.

I looked over at Simon. He had tears running down his face as he stared at the water.

"Simon? What's going on?" I asked him hoping he knew.

"I don't know. But Jeanette isn't coming back up for air. I have to go down and get her." He told me wiping his tears.

"What? Simon, are you crazy? It's bad enough Jeanette is down there we don't want to risk losing you too!" Alvin told him.

"Well, I'm sorry Alvin but I don't want to lose her. She means too much to me! I'm going down there and I'm going to get her." He told us firmly as he took his glasses off and put them to the side. He then wiped his face from the remaining tears left and jumped in the pool.

I was terrified. Terrified of Jeanette's life and terrified of Simon's. I mean, what if it was too late to save her? Will she make it?
