So today is my final waterpolo game and I'm packing it.
I have all my clothes in my bag and ready for Caitlan and Emilee's house after but I hope that I'm gonna do well today. Thats all I hope.

"Elizabeth! Can you take me to the pools?" I yell from upstairs putting my hair in a ponytail.

"Yeah sweetie. Do you want us to stay and watch?" Elizabeth yells back as Skylynn runs into my room.

"I made this for you Emmy. So I can hold it up and cheer you on!" She smile handing me a poster that reads;

'Go Emmy! I love you sissy!'

My heart warms as I read it and smile.

"I love you too sky!" I laugh handing the poster back and giving her a big hug.

"Do you want to come and watch?" I ask her

"YES YES YES!" She squeals running down the stairs me running after her.

"Come on then" I laugh to her as I grab my bag walking to the kitchen, Sky trailing behind.

"Ready?" I ask Elizabeth as I find her packing snacks in the kitchen.

"Yep. Let's go!" She smiles grabbing Skylynn and the snacks heading to the car.
"Do you wanna call Will sweetie?"

"Sure" I smile as I clutch me phone in my hand, pressing the call button on Will's contact

(Phone call; W=Will, E=Emily)

W: Hello?
E: Hey will its Emily!
W: Oh hey Em, how's it going?
E: Yeah good, we were wondering if you wanted to come and watch my grand final for waterpolo?
W: Oh sure! What time?
E: 12:30 today
W: Ok cool, at the pools?
E: Yep, see you then
W: Okay! Bye
E: Byeeee

"He's coming" I smile to Elizabeth as she starts the car and we head off to the pools.

••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

"Your going to be amazing sweetie!" Elizabeth says giving me a warm smile as my team is called to start warming up.

"Thank you. And thanks all of you for coming!" I smile to her and Sky as well as Will, and Hayes -who has recently turned up-

"It's fine. Now go!" Hayes tells me waving his hand, telling me to get in the pool.

"Yeah, yeah!" I laugh as I head down the grand stand steps and to the edge of the pool.

"Okay. Our game plan today girls is just to have fun. Make sure you kick their asses. But have fun!" Our coach Erin tells us as we laugh and put on our caps.

"Emily your on first with Sarah, Sage, Lilly, Claire, Grace, Olive and Candice"

I nod my head and walk over to the right side of the pool getting ready to get in.
I give one last glance to the crowd searching for my 'family' and that's when I see it.

Or him...

I spot Nash working his way past people and sitting down next to Hayes.

My heart speeds up as I panic wondering why he had to come but instead i get yelled at.

"Em! Let's go. Get in the pool!" Erin yells to me as I get out of my daze and jump in.

The cold water soothes my body from the nerves as I re emerge from under the water prepping myself for the whistle to begin.
