We were stretching in the pool when I heard a notification go off. I look over to the bench just outside the pool. It wasn't mine but I expected that.

Li pulls herself out of the pool and opens her phone. I got the feeling that it was about the guy in the phone.

I watch her as she swipes open her phone and I hold back the tears as she smiles at her phone. I dunk my head underwater to hide my face and started swimming to the opposite side of the pool.

I'm trying so hard right now to get over you.

I still want you though...

I can't choose so I need you to. Before it kills me.

*Li's POV*

I pull myself out of the pool to open my WeChat. I click onto the top message and smile.
