*Amy's P.O.V*
I probably didn't have to do it but I still chose to so if I have to blame someone for the fact that my back feels stiff, it's me. Because of the disagreement with Sam last night, I slept on the couch in the living room because I felt like I didn't want to be in the same room as her. So I was prompted to get a blanket or two from the closet in the hallway and also a pillow before I had fallen asleep to a movie that was playing on the television screen.
Then when I woke up this morning, I stretched for a pretty good five minutes, trying to get my back in good control because damn, the couch isn't that comfy. Perhaps I'm being stubborn but I don't think I'm in the wrong with the disagreement. Sam shouldn't have brushed off her concern for Axel. She knows what he went through back in Barcelona so why would she change the way she views him?
When I was heading towards the kitchen to make myself a bagel with cream cheese, I saw my uncle hugging Sam. And they both looked quite emotional. Why?
I didn't interrupt them, I kept my glaze on them and wondered if I can ever be close with Sam again and if my bond with my uncle will remain the same once I move to Pasadena with Eli.
It felt weird because I keep thinking that maybe my uncle won't miss me as much as he misses Sam. Maybe he'll forget about me and having those thoughts make me upset and I have no control over it. So if he doesn't miss me then I can't force him to. But I'm hoping he does.
A minute went by before they stopped hugging and then they realized that I was there. Daniel spoke first, "Amy, you're up."
I nodded, slowly. "Yeah."
"Do you want some breakfast?" He asked, "I know you're probably going to make a bagel with some cream cheese but I can make you eggs if you want."
"It's okay, Daniel. I'm not that hungry."
There's some yogurt in the fridge so I might stick with that. I don't really know. But the bagel was definitely calling my name.
I avoided Sam's gaze because I don't want to try and fight her if I end up looking at her. I'm not even in the mood to start a whole ass karate fight in the middle of the kitchen so I made sure that my uncle had my attention.
Daniel looked between us before he said, "Sam just informed me that she is forfeiting the tournament."
After he said that, that made me look at my cousin for the first time since I've been near the kitchen. Her eyes were glossy, still showing that she was emotional about this decision. Her lips still trembled a bit and perhaps without her saying words, she's speaking to me with her eyes. She's trying to communicate with me to say that she is sorry for how she acted yesterday. But I think anger is still inside of me and I couldn't help myself from speaking.
"It's not like she had a chance at winning.." I narrowed my eyes at her, "If I was captain, I wouldn't do that, not on my conscience."
"Amy.." Sam tried to speak to me, her voice breaking.
"I don't want to talk to you, Sam."
"But I want to talk to you. I need to."
"In life, we can't always get what we want. So let this go."
I didn't give her a chance to say anything, I walked away and went back into the living room. This isn't Sam and I. We shouldn't be arguing at all. It feels like a different world because I never would say those words to my cousin. It's weird how wrong that felt but in my perspective, I made them think that it felt right.
What if Sam and I can't overcome this obstacle where we are at odds for the first time in our lives? What if we end up hating each other forever? I can't hate her, not at all.
