@saItwaterbabe ‘ I know.. I know I just… I’m sorry. ’ wiping her tears. ‘ but the doctor said you’ll be fine. It’ll be fine.. right? We can get you through this. Whatever it takes. ’

[𝑺𝑨𝒀𝑳𝑶𝑹 @oceanwhxsperer]

‘ that’s because you knew since you where like in diapers. ’

[𝐿𝒾𝓃𝓀 @saItwaterbabe]

“She doesnt scare me.”

[𝑺𝑨𝒀𝑳𝑶𝑹 @oceanwhxsperer]

@vincebraverman ‘ oh….. right. Sorry.. ’

Making sure the gelato was farther away from him now. She felt stupid for forgetting.

[𝑺𝑨𝒀𝑳𝑶𝑹 @oceanwhxsperer]

@saItwaterbabe ‘ I should have done better.. I’m sorry Link. ’

[𝑺𝑨𝒀𝑳𝑶𝑹 @oceanwhxsperer]

@vincebraverman ‘ oh please I haven’t even touched mine yet before stealing yours. And don’t you ever say strawberries are gross, they are delicious. ’

[𝑺𝑨𝒀𝑳𝑶𝑹 @oceanwhxsperer]

@saItwaterbabe ‘ oh baby.. ’ Alex cried with him. Keeping close in case he needed a hand or a hug or a punching bag. He’d gladly take them.

Saylor felt guilty. She wished she did better, did more.

[𝑺𝑨𝒀𝑳𝑶𝑹 @oceanwhxsperer]

@vincebraverman Giggling mischievously. Happily sitting down and eating.

[𝑺𝑨𝒀𝑳𝑶𝑹 @oceanwhxsperer]

@saItwaterbabe Tearing up more. Shaking her head.

‘ they um.. they got to the bottom of your board. And.. and you. They um.. I’m sorry.. I should have known he was there I should have been paying attention. I’m so sorry.. ’

[𝑺𝑨𝒀𝑳𝑶𝑹 @oceanwhxsperer]

@vincebraverman ‘ good. ’ stealing a lick of Vincent’s gelato before taking her own and finding a table for them to sit.

[𝑺𝑨𝒀𝑳𝑶𝑹 @oceanwhxsperer]

@saItwaterbabe Alex leaned into his touch. He didn’t have the heart to say the words.

‘ link.. ’ Saylor sniffled. Frowning. ‘ do you not remember? ’

[𝑺𝑨𝒀𝑳𝑶𝑹 @oceanwhxsperer]

@vincebraverman ‘ is that a bad thing? ’

[𝑺𝑨𝒀𝑳𝑶𝑹 @oceanwhxsperer]

@saItwaterbabe Both Alex and Saylor immediately turned their focus on him. Alex squeezing his hand. Eyes red from the massive amount of crying he’s done.

‘ not too fast baby, you’ve lost a lot of blood. The doctors said you’ll be weak for a while. ’

[𝑺𝑨𝒀𝑳𝑶𝑹 @oceanwhxsperer]

@vincebraverman Pokes her tongue out at him.

[𝑺𝑨𝒀𝑳𝑶𝑹 @oceanwhxsperer]

@saItwaterbabe Everyone was in the room. Alex sitting in a chair on one side of the bed. Almost death gripping Link’s hand.

Saylor sat on the other side in a chair also. With Amaya pacing back and forth in the room.

[𝑺𝑨𝒀𝑳𝑶𝑹 @oceanwhxsperer]

@vincebraverman Smiling. She would hope so though. After all he’s been with them for over 11 years now.

‘ never~ ’ she teased.

[𝑺𝑨𝒀𝑳𝑶𝑹 @oceanwhxsperer]

@saItwaterbabe Taking a few breaths. Calling Alex next. He’s also on the way. That’s his husband, she can’t not tell him. Then calling Amaya. Who said she’d meet at the hospital.

Another few breaths. Keeping close to Link. ‘ it’s okay.. it’ll be okay.. we got this. Just hang in there Link. ’

[𝑺𝑨𝒀𝑳𝑶𝑹 @oceanwhxsperer]

@vincebraverman Scoffs playfully.

‘ aye, o patéras mou kai i xerokefaliá tou. ’

[𝑺𝑨𝒀𝑳𝑶𝑹 @oceanwhxsperer]

@saItwaterbabe That was her next step. Now that she got him to safety and stopped the blood, next was calling help.

She ran to her pile of stuff, finding her phone out of her back. Frantically yelling in Greek over the call to send help and tell them what happened.

[𝑺𝑨𝒀𝑳𝑶𝑹 @oceanwhxsperer]

@vincebraverman ‘ no, it was my idea. I’m paying. ’

[𝑺𝑨𝒀𝑳𝑶𝑹 @oceanwhxsperer]

@saItwaterbabe - stick and making a tourniquet to stop the blood.

[𝑺𝑨𝒀𝑳𝑶𝑹 @oceanwhxsperer]

@saItwaterbabe Tugging him onto the beach. Making sure they were completely on land before assessing. Fuck there’s so much blood. And…. Oh god she’s gonna be sick.

No. Come on, Saylor focus. Taking her surf shirt off, immediately tying it as tight as she could around his leg. Finding a -
