chapter 35

Elizas pov.

Two weeks. Two weeks till I leave for training. I wake up and decide to go to the gym. I look to see Tristan still asleep. I write a note for him

' morning Tris,

Just gone to the gym. I will see you when I get back

Love Eliza xx'

After writing the note, I place it on his bedside table before grabbing my gym bag and car keys quietly slipping out of the house to drive to the gym. Once I get there I scan my membership card, dropping of what I didn't need into a locker. I started on the treadmill before moving on to the rowing machine. I prefer comming earlier in the day as it quite, as like the training I have been doing I get into it so I block out what's going on to stay focus.

James pov.

I wake up and decided to head to gym. I left the lads a note incase they wake up before I'm back. When I reach the gym I scan my membership card before putting my things in a locker, as I enter I notice Eliza is here too. She I on the rowing machine 'morning Eliza' I say. 'Eliza? Are you okay?' I ask. I watch as she finishes on the machine, turning towards me 'oh morning James. Sorry didn't hear you' she says 'it's okay.'I tell her 'it's just that I'm used to working out by myself or just with Riles, but also zoning out to help me focus' she tells me 'how are you?' She asks me hugging me 'I'm good. Brad and Connor still asleep.' I say 'same Tristan is asleep too. I left him a note before I left so he doesn't worry or panic' Eliza tells me.

We both move over to the weights to begin the work out.

Elizas pov.

As I finish on the machine, I turn to see James stood there 'oh morning James. Sorry didn't hear you' I tell him 'it's okay.' James tells me 'it's just that I'm used to working out by myself or just with Riles, but also zoning out to help me focus' I reply back to him. 'How are you?' I asks James hugging him 'I'm good. Brad and Connor still asleep.' James says 'same Tristan is asleep too. I left him a note before I left so he doesn't worry or panic' I tells him.

We both move over to the weights to begin the work out. 'Still up for bowling and pizza tonight?' I ask James 'yeah. It's been a while since we have done that.' James replies. After finishing our workouts we head back to our lockers to get out our things we had put in, 'I'm off to a bakery to get us some breakfast to take home.' I tell James 'want to join?' I ask 'sure' I reply. We both head out to my car to drive to the bakery, after parking up we order some food. 'Would you like a lift back?' I ask James 'yes please' he replies. We get back to the car I drive to the lads place 'see you tonight James.' I say 'thanks for the lift.' James tells me. I wait to watch him head inside before I drive back home.

When I get back home I pick up my gym bag and the food from the bakery. Taking the food I drop it on the kitchen before putting my gym clothes in the washing machine.

I went back to the kitchen and began to get plates and mugs out of the cupboard. I put them on the table before putting the food I had brought on a plate in the middle of the table.

After I had finished Dad and Tris was still asleep so I picked up my guitar and headed out into the garden. I climbed into my hammock playing my guitar.

Tristan's pov

I roll over, waking up I see Elizas not in bed. Rolling over to switch on the bedside lamp to see a note from Eliza.

' morning Tris,

Just gone to the gym. I will see you when I get back

Love Eliza xx'
