|Good For You| (On Hold)

Chapter 113: My Home, My Happy Place

*Amy's P.O.V*

|One Month Later|

You would think things wouldn't go so far. You think it was just supposed to be a competition, a tournament, where you'll be able to make your moment and shine. A chance to prove that you're one of the best. You wouldn't think it would end in a way where someone lost their own life. I know life dealt people a wrong hand at times and it makes them fight harder but it's hard to believe that one hand could potentially change everything from what you used to know.

I thought karate was just a sport, a way of life where you can build your confidence, become a better version of yourself, and possibly be a champion if the opportunity ever came. I never thought it would get this out of hand.

We were just supposed to fight, fighting for a championship. The brawl completely changed things. It changed the way I viewed karate, how I viewed life. The landscape of the sport changed and it won't be the same again.

Now a month later, there's no tournament, no championship. It's now an empty hole and we have to find a way to fill that void.

"Amy!" I heard an echo which made me lift my head up from underneath the water. I was in the middle of a bath and I submerged myself underneath while I closed my eyes. That felt so relaxing in some way because it blocked out the outside world.

I stared at Eli who was looking back at me with a towel in his hand. "Is everything okay?"

"I should be asking you that." He came closer to the tub, "I got worried and I haven't heard you call my name for the past 20 minutes. I got scared for a moment."

"Luckily, I wasn't under the water for that long." I said as I stood up and took the towel from him. "It was only five minutes."

"Those five minutes felt like forever."

"I fell asleep in the tub for a little bit though."

My boyfriend sighed. "Do you want to go to the doctor? I know you haven't been getting enough sleep lately."

"I'm fine, Eli."

"You're still in the early stages of your pregnancy and I bet you need a lot of rest during this time. I just want you to be alright." He told me as I started to walk towards his room and he would follow me.

I spent the night at Eli's house last night. We still don't have our own place. When we came back from Barcelona, Daniel had made an arrangement where Eli and I could check out this apartment. It's also one that Demetri had recommended to us but when we took a look at it, it felt different than what we had imagined. Trust me, we thought it looked nice but it didn't seem to fit us in the way we wanted it too. We want it to be the perfect home for our future baby.

I'm almost two months along and I would think in a few months, we'll be able to find out the gender which I'm very excited about. I'll be fine with either a boy or a girl.

"Things have been difficult lately but you know that." I said as I started to get dressed, "After what happened in Barcelona, part of my world has shifted, I think. My uncle is not okay, he's completely making himself busy with work so that he doesn't think about karate. It's actually concerning me."

"It's been tough on all of us." He would say as he sat on his bed and I started to put my hair into a ponytail. "And we all are trying to get through it or at least move on from what happened. I say we have a good future ahead of us.."

I feel like he has something on his mind. Is there something he wants to tell me?

"What's going on, Eli?" I asked him.
