(https://i.pinimg.com/564x/39/7a/85/397a85bdf15b2ae5b5719f907a19ed29.jpg)</em><br/><strong>Time:</strong><em>June 10th, 11am</em><br/><strong>Location:</strong><em>Down River</em><br/><strong>Tagging | Mentioning:</strong><em>Angel, <del>Sean</del>, Elle, Edgar, John-James, Robin, Devina</em><br/><hr/><br/>Thirty-seven long and stressful seconds sees Billie floating in the spot that Elle went down.<strong>”Come on Elle, surface…”</strong>Billie hisses, twisting and turning to try and spot any sign of her. It's when Robin calls out that Billie’s heart jumps into her throat. There it is, a life vest face down, a single floating body. Billie swims furiously, thank god her uncles had taught them how to swim early. Flipping the body over reveals it to be Elle, completely unconscious.<br/><br/>Suddenly Billie is reminded of their first camping trip with the Uncles. Uncle Charlie was a nut about safety, he loved having fun, but he was the one who set the ground rules that all three kids needed to learn how to perform basic life saving first aid on each other<em>just in case</em>. At the time, Billie had only half paid attention, but after repeated lessons, it had sunk in.<br/><br/>The rebel wastes as little time as possible ripping her own life vest off, and discarding it. She needed the freedom to swim properly, and wearing the thing wasn’t going to make that possible. So off it goes, floating away, as Billie grabs onto Elle’s life vest, hooks her arm through it, and then swims to shore. Drags the other woman to dry land.<strong>”Robin help me get her up here.”</strong>Billie commands, dragging the woman up as best she can by herself until Robin comes to help.<br/><br/>Once Elle is safe on dry land, Billie works the life vest off of the other woman, immediately sticking her ear onto Elle’s chest for the sounds of breath.<strong>”She isn’t breathing.”</strong>Billie hisses, finding it extremely hard to remain calm at this moment. Uncle Charlie hadn’t explained how hard it was to fight through panic to remember what to do.<strong>”Fuck, Winter, what do I do now?”</strong>Billie hisses, but it's strange, Billie hadn’t brought Winter with her. The stuffed fox was tucked safely back in the cabin, but it's like that was all she needed to figure it out.<br/><br/><em><strong>”Billie pay attention! You heard what papa said! This could save our lives one day!”</strong> Winter smacks Billie in the arm, to a scoff from the young blonde. Billie rolls her eyes at her cousin, shaking her head. <strong>”Yeah like anything is gonna happen with Uncle Charlie around and as paranoid as he is!”</strong> Billie laughs, giving her uncles hell was always one of her favorite pass times, somehow they always enjoyed it, encouraged it even. Uncle Joseph even told her once to ‘stay rebellious kid, don’t just accept everything you hear’. <br/><br/><strong>”Billie, Winter, stop playing around, this is important!”</strong> Both young girls snap their attention back to Charlie, Winter looking sheepish, and Billie grinning like she won a prize. Charlie and Joseph were demonstrating what CPR looked like on adults. <strong>”Okay, recap, 30 compressions, two breaths.”</strong> Charlie mimes the compressions, and then leans down to administer the two breaths. <strong>”Eww they are kissing!”</strong></em><br/><br/>Billie straddles Elle’s waist, looking up at the group,<strong>”One of you get ready to turn her head.”</strong>Billie points where they should sit, and starts doing compressions. She talks while she does this, fast, explaining.<strong>”She’s gonna have water in her lungs, and needs to expel that. So I need you to turn her head so she doesn’t choke on it.”</strong>Billie then starts counting out loud, keeping her timing accurate to her memory of Uncle Charlie, hands pressed in the middle of Elle’s chest, compressing to the sound of Staying Alive in Billie’s head.
