I can see people moving....chairs scraping down, bodies jerking back, someone knocking into a table…..but it all feels distant. Like I'm watching it from far away as my eyes stay locked on her, she's not moving mot even a little. Something in my chest tightens painfully
No. No, no, no…..
Before I even realize what I'm doing, I'm out of my seat,my knees hitting the floor hard but I barely feel it as i crawl the short distance toward her, my hands slipping slightly on the mess of melted ice cream m and water on the tiles.
"Hey…hey hey …" my voice comes out shaky and breathless. J don't even know what I'm saying or doing, I just… need her to move, need her to react.
I reach her and grab her shoulder, turning her slightly but head lolls.
Everything about it is jus wrong. My stomach flips violently when I realize she might be dead already.
"No…" I whisper, my hands trembling now.
