In the New Year I made a resolution to become fitter and spend more time at the gym.

Today was my first day back, I pull on grey leggings and a sports bra covering myself with an oversized hoody. I scrapped my hair back into a ponytail and grab a coffee on the way.

I climb onto the treadmill starting off slowly minding my own business with my Airpods in. Around an hour and a half later I decided to call it a day making my way into the locker room to collect my gym bag when someone shoves me from behind into the lock.

I turn around frowning to be faced with Ella who isn't too pleased to see me.

"What are you doing?!" I raise my voice drawing the attention of a couple of women in the locker room.

"Listen to me, princess. You might have been someone across the pond but you're a nobody here, This is my only warning.

Stay.
Away.
From.
Sebastian."

She walks away and tears start to burn my eyes. The other woman make sure i'm ok before I leave with my bag.

I storm towards the exit furious at the encounter but I was raised to be a lady and respectful especially towards other women. I wish I had said something.

I was an angry cryer and nothing was stopping these tears falling down my cheeks. As I get to the exit, Sebastian enters smiling at me. His smile soon fades as he realises there's tears streaming down my face.

"Shannon? Hey. What's happened? Have you hurt yourself?" He asks concerned as he tries to grab my arm to stop me exiting the building upset.

I dodge his grip not making eye contact with him as I push the door leaving onto the busy street.

Sebastian runs after me grabbing my hand and making me stop in my tracks. I turn around and he grabs me pulling me into a tight hug, my tears soak his black tshirt.

"Shannon? What's wrong?" He asks.

"Ella pushed me against the lockers threatening me that I was to stay away from you. Listen Seb, I don't want to get inbetween you both and the last thing I want to do is step on anyones toes. I don't think we should be friends anymore". I pull my body away from Sebastian and walk away, he doesn't chase me this time and I don't dare turn around as I wipe my eyes making my way home.
