Chapter 17: Underwater

*Hawk's P.O.V*

After that heated conversation with Sam in the hallway at school, she suddenly left and it left me stranded because she thinks she knows what I'm feeling but she doesn't.

She doesn't know that she's the one that's keeping me up all night, thinking about her.

She doesn't know that I want to be with her just as much as she wants to be with me.

She doesn't know that I would do anything for her.

She just doesn't know and I figured that I have to tell her. Sooner the better.

So I decided that I'm not going to school for the rest of the day. I left during lunch break and I'm in my car because I have to tell Sam how I feel about her.

A part of me knows that she's not at her house.

Which means there's one other place that she could be.

Which would be the dojo.

The dojo is the perfect place for her to be at because it gives her a state of mind. It lets her escape the real world and be a part of a calm environment.

I thought about the words that I would tell her when I eventually tell her about my feelings. It's all wrapped up inside of me.

I want to tell her and then wrap my arms around her.

The more I thought about her, I felt more happy. Sam LaRusso makes me happy.

It does surprise me when I think about that but it's the truth.

If this was me thinking about this last summer then I wouldn't believe a thing.

Soon enough, I arrived at the dojo and I parked my car in front of it. I ignored the other cars that I saw and marched my way to the back.

But when I got there, I froze on the spot.

What I saw in front of me took me by surprise and left me shocked.

I couldn't find the words to say anything.

In front of me was Sam and Miguel and they were hugging each other. They looked too comfortable and close for my own liking but what can I do?

Absolutely nothing.

I can tell that she's still upset from this morning based on her body language and Miguel is the one giving her comfort when it should've been me.

I shouldn't even told Miguel about Sam not being at school. I should've just left when we finished our conversation.

I've been staring at them for too long that I didn't even realize that I started to cry.

The sight in front of me tugged at my heart and it made me feel like I'm underwater and can't get back up on the surface.

It's like something was pulling me down and making me suffocate.

I felt like I was Prince Eric from The Little Mermaid who was drowning and waiting to be rescued. But the mermaid didn't come and save me.

I guess I'm bound to darkness.

And I need to see the light. I need Sam to give me her bright smile to let me see the lightness that I so desperately need.

Sam needs to come and save me.

Save me from the agony of the darkness that's surrounding me.

But that can't happen now, right? Because she's here with Miguel and not me. It will always be Miguel. It will never be me.
