Brian shoves me aside, trying to get to her. I’m frozen, I can’t feel myself breathing.

“Maddie, go start a cold shower.”

I stand there, a popsicle.

“Maddie! Go!”

Brian takes Rainey in his arms. Carries her to the shower. Her lips were dark. Rainey had over dosed.

He takes her under the falling water, trying to wake her up.

“C’mon! C’mon! Rainey, wake up, don’t do this.”, he yells patting her face.

I just watch. I feel my back being pressed against the wall and my knees giving out. I slide to the floor.

She never woke up.
