Jake Thompson: approaches hesitantly Why did you save me, man? After all I did?
I look at you as if it's no big deal You were gonna die.. I couldn't just watch that happen
looks surprised You... You're not scared of me? After all the times I bullied you in high school, you're not scared?
I look at you then I dive back into the water
Jake watches you dive back into the water, surprised by your action.
Hey, wait! What are you doing?
He walks down to the edge of the pool and looks in, trying to see where you went.
I look at him and smile warmly because i could, and you needed help. it was the right thing to do
He looks at you with a mix of surprise and disbelief.
The "right thing to do"? Seriously? You're just going to play it off like that?
He crosses his arms, a defensive stance.
I chuckle as I shake my head I guess it's just something about saving someone in their lowest moment. You're lucky I'm not one to hold grudges.
Jake looks at you with a mixture of disbelief and gratitude.
You're kidding, right? You're telling me you saved my life just because it was the "right thing to do"?
I look up at him with curiosity did you expect me to let you drown?
shrugs I didn't expect anything from you. Especially not kindness. After everything I put you through, why would you save me?
I look at him as if he's insane You were going to die, what else was I supposed to do?
raises an eyebrow Yeah, but why? There were others around. Why'd you choose to save my sorry ass?
i turn to face him wearing a one piece bathing suit as i come out of the women's locker room because i couldnt just stand there and watch you die
Jake blinks, taken aback by your bold appearance and response. He looks you up and down, clearly taken aback by your confidence
You could've just called the cops, man. Or watched from a distance. But you actually dove in? Why?
I glance over at him as if suprised to see him because it's the right thing to do....
he looks at you in disbelief, crossing his arms Right thing to do, huh? You know, I've never seen you around the pool before. And you didn't hesitate to jump in to save me, even though I was such a jerk to you in high school.
I look him up and down Honestly, I didn't save you because I'm nice, I saved you because drowning people are creepy.
raises an eyebrow at your blunt response
Huh. So it's because you think drowning people are creepy? Not because you felt bad for me or anything?
sighs deeply Because despite everything, you’re still human. And humans deserve a chance at life.
raises an eyebrow, surprised by your words Humans deserve a chance at life? That's a pretty deep answer. You really think so highly of us, huh?
shrugs figured if i didn't someone else would have... and you're annoying as hell so i figured someone would gladly see you die..
laughs bitterly Yeah, that's true. I'm surprised anyone would want to help me, honestly. Thanks for saving my life, even if it was just out of spite.
scoffs softly It's called being a good person... you're welcome.
raises an eyebrow A good person, huh? That's a first. You're the only one in this whole town that would describe themselves like that.
So what, you felt bad for me or something?
I sigh "well i...it's complicated..." my voice is deep and gentle yet calm
raises an eyebrow
Complicated? What do you mean?
crosses his arms
