Unless I'm With You

Chapter 1: You Calling My Name

Anneliese POV

"The Winner for World Muay Thai Championship is, Anneliese Rose!" the host shouted my name as I made a KO to my opponent. It is my first time win in the competition and I still can't believe that I win that fight, as I know how tough my opponent is. For other people, it maybe just my luck, but for me, I work hard for it, and I deserve to win and claim the spot.

Everyone congratulating me, even the one that bash me before just because I am an underdog opponent. Everyone has that doubt, not just me. I got back to my hotel room as it was a tiring day, just for me to survived in a fight, not just physically, mentally too. Tomorrow would be my whole day off before I'm going back home. Just myself, no cornerman, no coaches.

Wake up from my deep sleep after the fight, finally I get to feel all the soreness from the last night fight. Looking at the bathroom mirror, trying to find any bruises on my body, and yes, those bruises already cover up my thigh, shin, arms, and a bit on my face. For me, it is a proud bruise because I'm the one who ask for it. After mesmerizing myself with the bruises, I'm getting ready for my own me time. After having a hot shower, I wrap my body with towel and make to the closet to find comfortable clothes for me to wear. Sweatshirt, black jeans, a cap, and a bit of make up as I need to cover some bruises on my face.

I go for a breakfast at the hotel restaurant. While eating, I inform my coach that I'm going out.

~Me~

Mari..

I'm going out alone today. Don't look for me until I call you. =P

~Pretty Crazy Coach~

Don't go too far. Don't forget to buy me souvenir. XD

~Me~

Buy it yourself..

"RUN"

~Pretty Crazy Coach~

How Dare You!

Hahahahahh!! Have fun baby!!

It always fun whenever I'm with her. She is not just my coach, she is my cousin, who always there for me. And yes, she calls me baby, even though I'm older than her by 2 years. Not just me, all of her female students she will call baby. In class, she's the fierce coach, outside, she just a crazy person and I don't even know how we are related.

I walk around the town, just window shopping. I'm wondering if I can find something that I can buy for myself and at the same time maybe go for a café hunting. Yes, it is time for me to eat what I want because I just finish with my competition. While window shopping, suddenly I saw a very nice café, with the Victorian vibe. The food looks interesting. I walk into the café and the waiter walk me to a table beside the window where I can see the street and the garden nearby. I ordered an ice latte with some pastries like almond croissant, and cheesecake.

While waiting for my food, there are memories that just pop up in my mind. The memories of me and him. The vibe in the café reminds me of him. Even though it has been 5 years, but I really do cherish it as he was first love, first kiss. The decision that I made by ending our relationship really breaks my heart. It gives me heartache, and it takes me some time to heal. All the memories came back to me, didn't even realize that there are tears just drop from my eyes. I just realized it when the waiter come to serve my food. "Are you okay miss? Is there anything that I can help you with?" asked the waiter. "Oh, It's nothing. Some dust gets into my eyes." I wipe the tears and thanks the waiter with a smile for serving the food. The pastries so good. While I enjoy the food, suddenly I hear someone calling my name.

"Annie" Just one word. 

Just that one word. Only one person will call me that name. That voice, the voice that I miss. I look up, and saw him, in front of me. Jackson.
