Bad deal, what should I go for?

Chapter twenty-seven
Ryder
I drag her out immediately.
I lay her gently on her back and place my ear over her nose and mouth. Damn, she's not breathing.
I place my head against her chest and I almost slap myself. This is all my fault.
Damn! I shouldn't have rejected her that way!
I place my index finger on the middle of her collarbone and the other index finger on the sternum.
My two thumbs meet in between my index fingers. I position the base of my hand, just above my wrist joint.
By now, people have suddenly gathered around us.
"Call for help! Someone is dying!" I hear a scream.
I place my left hand on top of my right hand, I clasp and push her at the depth of her chest.
I made 30 compressions.
Then, I tilt her head back so that her head is in the right position and is facing the sky.
I lift her chin, open her mouth and pinch the soft part of her nose.
I provide two breaths into her mouth.
I pull back and listen to her heartbeat. It seems faint now. So, I wait for the chest to rise and fall
I repeat the sequence and she suddenly coughs, splitting water in the process.
Happiness fill my heart.
"Mimi!" I call as I cup her face into my hand. What would I have done if something bad had happened to her?
The medical assistance arrives just in time. I watch them take her away. I grab my phone and my jacket and follow them behind with my car.
Gosh! Mimi's father was one of my sponsors. They did a lot for me before I got to where I am currently.
I wasn't born with a silver spoon. So, I had difficulties living when I was so young.
Then, I fell in love with basketball and Mimi's father decided to help me.
What will happen to him and me if his only daughter died on my watch?
Aside from that, I might not love Mimi but I definitely like him. I take her as a sister. I know I'm the only one my parents gave birth to. But if I was more than that, I wouldn't want anything to happen to her.
Mehn! I was scared already. What if I didn't come out of the house? What if I didn't enter the pool? What if I came a minute late.
Oh! I will just kill myself.
I pull off in the hospital and try to steady my heavy breathing. My hands are still shaking.
Damn! I was scared to my bone.
I walked into Mimi's ward. I got her a VIP room.
When I walk in, she was asleep. I decide to stay behind. I went to the doctor and settle the bill before walking back to the room.
She's awake now and her eyes were staring into the space.
I walk to her and pull out a seat for myself. I look up at Mimi, still unable to figure out why she would kill herself because I rejected her love.
I mean there are lots of people living in pain for not being with the person they love and they never decided to commit suicide.
Mimi is really scary.
She looks at me, with a cold gaze. Her red hair is still wet but her clothes have been changed.
I'm still wet too but I don't think I can go home tonight. I'm really scared she might try to kill herself again if I leave.
Gosh, it's really scary.
"Mimi, why did you do that?" I ask her in a voice lower than a whisper.
She lets out a sigh and turns her head to the other side.
I sigh too. Damn! She's not giving me a chance at all.
Will she ever get it that she's an adult already? She's already twenty. I don't know why she's still thinking like this.
She doesn't expect me to stay with her even if I don't want to. She can't just go killing herself as if she's not important.
Even if she's not going to be my girlfriend, she's still very important to me.
She turns to me again, tears vivid on her face.
It breaks my heart to see her cry. I hold her hand tight, "Stop crying baby."
"No! You should have let me die!" She says suddenly, jerking my hand away from her, " Why did you save me?"
"You can't kill yourself because your love wasn't reciprocated. Think about other people please!'
She swallows harder, "I'm either going to be with you or with no one!" She says defiantly and a shiver runs down my spine.
"No Mimi, don't do this!"
"Oh yes, I will. I will kill myself again if you don't reconsider."
I raise brows at her, " What are you talking about?"
"Agree to date me, treat me like a girlfriend or I will kill myself again!"
"What !" I scream at her, unable to believe my ears, " what nonsense are you talking about. I told you I love someone else."
"I don't care! If you don't promise me, I will kill myself! I will trust me! Then my dad will come after you!" She threatens.
I take a deep breath as I watch her, shock kept me motionless and speechless for some moments. I don't even get this. Why will Mimi threaten me because I refused to be her girlfriend?
"Are you listening to me!" She sobs harder, "I will kill myself if you keep denying me."
" Mimi, you know about the contract I signed! I showed you!" I combat.
"I know," she whispers, "But you will start treating me like a girlfriend from today henceforth especially at home."
My heart made a thunderous sound. What! No! Gwen must never see that. She must never see that I have another girlfriend. It will jeopardize everything.
I shake my head negatively, "No! Mimi, don't do this!" My head was reeling. I don't believe this is happening.
"Fine!" She says and looks away. She brings out the hospital knife and goes for her arm.
I stop her suddenly and snatch the knife away from her. When did she take that?
She looks at me again, "you will never be with me all day long, will you? I will kill myself at any chance I get!" She says with a voice that shows she meant business.
