I’m still standing there watching the scene unfold as Noah pulls my limp body from the water and looks around. The panic I heard in his voice was showing in his wild eyes. I watch as he tries to do CPR and assess the wound pouring blood from my head. For a moment, he tries to save me. Tries to bring me back to life. I see the registration on his face before he falls back, scrambling away from my body. We’re far enough away from the house that no one else has noticed the commotion.

Noah eventually stands, breathing heavily, the racing thoughts showing in his wide-eyed gaze. I assumed, as my best friend, that he might do the right thing. Call the police; tell them it was an accident. Instead, I watch as he pulls his phone from his pocket and his thumbs frantically stab into the buttons.

Confusion sets in until behind me in the distance, I hear the back door of the cabin slide open. I’m not sure at what point everyone had moved inside for the night, but Alice exits alone and pulls a sweater around her shoulders, wrapping it tightly around her body.

He meets her halfway and they argue quietly for a while. Her eyes dart around him to my body lying on the ground and for a moment, I think she’s going to collapse to the ground. It never happens. The last thing I remember before I fade from existence is my best friend and the woman I love burying my body by the trees.
