Virgil had almost immediately regretted stepping foot on that water slide. He was getting more nervous as he climbed the stairs. He was dared to go on the stupid slide and he thought it would be fine. Turns out he had gotten in the wrong line and this lead straight into the ocean instead of the pool where he could touch, barely, but still touch.

Here he is now standing at the top of this long blue slide. He sat on his bum and adjusted his black swim trunks. He had his feet on a metal trap door to hold him up until it was his turn to go. Without warning the lifeguard dropped Virgil down the slide. Virgil let out a shriek of terror and slid down the long slide. He then hit the water going under... But not rising back up.

Only Patton knew the small secret Virgil had failed to tell the others. Roman, Logan, and Thomas had only assumed that Virgil had decided to the bigger slide because he got brave all the sudden. Patton arrived with 4 cups of ice cream and the others pointed out Virgil. Patton was about to get excited but then saw Virgil hit the ocean water.

His eyes widen and he drops the ice cream. They all look over and Thomas spoke first "Pat? What's wrong?"

"Virgil can't swim!!" Patton then began to run toward the ocean with the others quickly behind

Virgil was sinking... His eyes flew open only to be met with the sting of salt. He thrashed around trying to swim but he felt the dull ache in his lungs. He felt his body and head getting lighter and eventually his brown eyes fluttered shut.

Roman had pulled off his tank top and shoes and dove into the water. He swam down looking around quickly until he finally got a glimpse of the purple-haired man. Roman swam faster noticing that he had passed out. He grabbed ahold of Virgils wrist and pulled him up over his shoulder and swam up.

They finally broke the water and Patton and Logan helped drag Virgil o to the sand. Roman drops down and placed an ear to his chest hearing nothing. He froze up a bit. Logan noticed this and pushed Roman away a bit. He laced his fingers and placed them in the middle of Virgils chest and began compressions while counting out loud to 30. He only stopped to speak to the others.

"Roman get ready to take over after I do this a couple of times. Patton goes look for a lifeguard and tell them what's happening, Thomas goes to the main office and get an AED. Now!!" He demanded in worry for his friend.

Thet all took off aside from Logan and Roman. Logan then got to 30 and pinched Virgils nose. He used his other hand to lift Virgils chin up and bent down and put in a deep breath. He watched Virgils chest as he did and seeing as it moves once he gave another breath. He then went back to compressions "Come on Virgil... You can do it... Just one breath..."

Roman ran a hand through his hair and kept the crowd back. A lifeguard came back just as Roman was taking over after Logan gave 2 breaths. The lifeguard said he would Roman take over once he was done but that was never needed. Virgils body shook once and he bent to the side coughing and yacking out lots of water. Then falling into his side basically into Romans knees. Roman rubbed his back and did small hushing noises.

Logan let out a sigh of relief and off in the distance an ambulance was heard. Soon a paramedic placed the cot down and transfer the drowsy and barely conscious man into the ambulance allowing the 4 others to stay in with them.

~at the hospital~

Virgil lay in the hospital bed sleeping. This had panicked him belong belief and he was exhausted. Patton had tears streaming his eyes as he explained to the others a bit more thoroughly why Virgil had nearly drowned. Roman looked ashamed and had started to cry since he was the one to dare Virgil to slide.

Logan wished he would have stopped Roman and Thomas was just overall. upset at the situation. Thomas had gone to get clothes for everyone and they were all now clothed and in the room with a sleeping Virgil.

Virgil woke up with a small mumble and a few coughs. His throat was raw and his lungs hurt not to mention his ribs from the CPR. Patton was the first to notice and immediately hugged him "Oh my god Virge!! You're okay!!"

Virgil winced a bit but then smiled "Yeah I'm alright..." His voice was hoarse and sounded awful.

Thomas winced at the voice and chuckled "glad you're okay buddy."

Virgil smiles and sort of pushed Patton off and sat up a bit more. Roman almost immediately hugged him crying "oh my god... Virgil... I'm so sorry... I just... I didn't think and-"

Virgil cut him off "Hey... I'm alive, aren't I? Don't even try.to put this on your self... I should have just said no but I let my stubbornness get in the way"

Logan shook his head and placed a pile of clothes in Virgils lap "here are your clothes, Virgil. I chose something that would be more comfortable than a hospital gown"

Virgil chuckles and nods. The others left to let him get changed. Patton came back in after Virgil got his pants on and helped him with the shirt. Soon they were heading back home and happy. They all babied Virgil for a week or so and Virgil would never admit it... But he fucking loved it.
