WHITE ROSES.

CHAPTER 2: THE BEGINNING OF THE END.

DELILAH.

*Well it's a new day and Josh didn't call, that's good, right? To be honest I really don't know what to expect from him. *
*I open the door to go to work and there he is *

- Josh! You're at my house!

_Delilah sweetheart, it's good to see you to, can I come in?

- No, no You can't and I really think you should go.

_Wow, why, what's the hurry?

-I have to go to work, none of your business, besides, why are you here?

_What? Now I can't visit my girlfriend?

- I'm not your girlfriend, we broke up like eight months ago.

_Well... Future Girlfriend.

- I'm definitely not coming back with you. * I couldn't help myself and I burst out laughing while he sees me with his dumb angry face. *

- I'm sorry Josh but I should keep going.

_ Fine, but you should  be aware that one way or another were going to be together again Delilah.

- Whatever Josh, wathever.

______________________________________

+Delilah, you're late.

- I know, and I'm sorry I had... A problem.

+Is everything ok?

- Yes, I mean it could be worst, but everything is alright.

+Are you sure? If you need anything you know you can count on me, on us.

- Yes I'm sure, I know, thank you so much, it really means a lot.
* Paul, what can I say about Paul? More than a Boss, he's a really good friend of mine, he really cares a lot and he's always checking out for me.*

+Don't worry, if you ever need anything just let me know, now let's get to work!

- Sure, it's your call!

MARCUS.

+C'mon Marcus, you can do it!

*We're not even a 100% sure if I'm going to the Olympics and yet here we are trying to make my time record even better. *

+C'mon Marcus, what's going on!? You can do better, I know that!

-Sorry, coach, I'm quite not having a great day...

+What's wrong kid? You can talk to me... To your parents too.

*And that's exactly why I can't really talk to my coach Anthony, he will immediately tell my parents whatever I say & then my parents will be the kind of feeling bad with themselves and they'll give me the pep talk nobody wants or likes. *

- It's not really talking about something in specific, it's more like... I'm tired, that's all.

+I will like to help you Marcus, but for now we really can't stop your training, it's very important to keep going.

- But I mean, are we even sure that I can actually go to the Olympics? It's not like we already have an invitation or something!

+I know it can be hard, but there is a possibility & even if we're not sure you will go, we need to keep trying, to keep growing.

- Of course... You make it seem so easy.

+You know, something that I always do to keep me out of stress... I dance.

- What!?

+Yes! I dance! It's one of my hobbies, and not for anything but I'm a great dancer, it really makes me calm, it makes me happy.
Do you have any hobbies Marcus?

- Yeah... I mean, of course I have hobbies.
* I don't have hobbies. I'm not even sure what that is, I don't know what I like, what I enjoy, what makes me happy. For a moment I thought that it was ridiculous, even my coach has hobbies but not me!? If I actually stop for a moment and think about it.... Everyone else has something that I don't, options. *

+What kind of hobbies, Marcus, tell me about it!

* You can tell he definitely wants to talk.*

- Well y'know.... Swimming?

*He burst out laughing, what did I say? *

+That's it? Kid, there has to be something more...

*And there's that uncomfortable silence. *

+Well kid, get out of there, times up.

-Thank God.

——————————————————

- Mum, Dad, I'm home.
° Is everything ok?
- Yes mum.... Why?
° Just asking.
-Ok?
* At that moment I knew that my mum knew, probably coach Anthony tell her something, now everything is going to be weird. That's why you can't trust, not even your coach. *

- Where's Dad?
° Oh, he's ... At the gym.
- Oh really?
° Yes, of course.
- Ok?
* My Dad rarely goes to the gym, you can tell something is definitely wrong.*
