Unexpected Love

Chapter 28:

I'm going to kill Lauryn! I trusted her so much with the whole Tyler secret. " Marissa you are going to compete bars only" My coach explained. I nodded in approval and decided to watch the girls vault. After about 30 minutes, we rotated to bars. I was assisted by my coach while trying to put my grips on my hands. My coach carried me to the bar. I put both hands on and the coach let me go so I could glide kip. " We may need to make routine adjustments due to your cast. I started with a cast straddle up handstand and then I came down and put my toes on the bar so I was in a pike. I shot my pike around the bar until I came back to handstand. From the handstand I completed a full turn back to the handstand. I fell down into a pike then I shot my legs in a straddle towards the high bar. I didn't exactley reach the bar and fell onto my butt. Luckily this whole routine was possible because I had a special lightwieght cast on made for athletes. My coach ran to my side to help me up. " I can still do this" I told her. Bars isn't a strength of mine. I tried really hard to make a decent score at every competition. Coach lifted me so I was hanging from the high bar. I kiped so I was on top of the high bar. I casted to a straddle up handstand and repeated the same pike skill I did on the low bar. I switched my grip and did a handstand half turn. I prepared to do a front giant where you go swing around the bar in a forwards direction. lastly I did a straddle release move. I let go of the bar in a straddle flipping backwards before catching it. Now I needed to do a dismount. " Your allowed to land on your back because of your cast. I did three giants going swinging around the bar in a hanstand. I let go and completed my full-in dismount. I landed on my back. My coach started clapping and the crowd did too. She helped me up handing me my crutches. I hobbled towards the beam area to sit and watch the beam rotation.

After all the rotations, I met up with our group outside the gym. " I'm exhausted" I stated. " That was a great bar routine" Austin complimented. " Thanks" I replied. " Your dismount is so cool" Lauryn exclaimed. " Thanks! Its an upgrade for the year" I explained. " I'm hungry" Bailey pouted. " How about we get some lunch before Bailey dies" I suggested. " Ok" Everyone agreed. We started walking towards the elevator to go on the floor that had food. I pushed the button to open the elevator. It opened and we traveled up to the 5th floor. We walked along the floor to find a place called Italian Pizza, Pasta, and more. Everyone agreed on eating there. I told the waiter we are a table of 6. We got led to a tabble in the back. We all sat down at the rectangular table. " Omg! I forgot my stuff" I exclaimed. " Don't worry! I have it" Lauryn said. She handed me my warm ups and I slipped them on. I grabbed my phone out of my duffel bag. " Be right back" I announced. I went to the ladies room to listen to a voice mail. " Hey sweet cakes. I miss you babe. Meet me at 7 p.m. on the 5th floor. If you don't show I promise Bailey is dead to me. Tell anyone and her boyfriend goes too. See you later and wear something hot" I heard Tyler's voice say. I knew I had to go. I have 6 hours until the meeting Tyler thing. I started feeling really sick. I shook it off and started towards the door. A pain shot up my leg. I felt myself falling slowly to the ground. Everything went black.
