What Happened?

"Tobin and Thalia, you'll be rooming together." Jill said. "What?!" Tobin and I demanded at the same time. "Coach, can we switch roommates?" Jill's hazel eyes flashed. "No." she said firmly. "You two need to learn to talk. You are not allowed to switch roommates, and unless you are actually trading blows, you are not allowed to sleep in anyone else's room. Do I make myself clear?" Tobin and I glared at each other. "Yes, Coach." we muttered. We took our stuff up to our room, and set it on the beds we wanted. I noticed that Tobin had a tattoo sleeve, like Ash's. "You got a sleeve." I said. There was no response. "I like it." I ventured. "It's cool." Tobin gave a grunt that might have been thanks. I started to tear up. A year ago, we would have had a conversation about the sleeve, talking and laughing. I laid a hand on Tobin's arm. She turned around and slapped my hand away, glaring at me. "Tobin, what happened?" I whispered. "What happened to us?" Tobin's eyes softened, and she spoke her first words to me since we had fallen out. "I don't know." she said softly. "One day we were lovers, the next, we let some stupid fight break us up." I couldn't contain my tears any longer. I started crying, the tears spilling down my cheeks. "Oh, come on, Thalia." Tobin said. "Don't cry. I still hate it when you cry." she wrapped her arms around me. "I miss you, Tobin." I sobbed. "I miss us." "I do too." Tobin said. "It's hard to fall asleep without the sound of your breathing next to me." I stopped crying and looked up at Tobin. "Can we try again?" I asked. "Can we give us another chance? Please?" Tobin smiled. "Sure." she said, kissing me. After a year of not kissing Tobin, the feeling of her lips on mine was pure bliss. "I never stopped loving you, Tobin." I said. "And I never stopped loving you." Tobin said. "We should call a team meeting." "Ok." I said. I pulled out my phone and sent out a text on the group labeled Whole Team Plus Coach.

Team meeting in five in our room. Coach, could you come too? ~Thalia

Five minutes later, the team started to trickle in. Tobin and I were sitting on the bed, holding hands. Abby, Alex, Arod, and Cheney noticed immediately, and went over to hug us. "I'm proud of you." Abby said. When the whole team was present, Tobin and I looked at each other. "You wanna tell them?" I asked. "Sure." Tobin said. "Thalia and I have decided to give us another go. We're dating again." there were congratulations from our teammates, and Jill gave us a wry smile. "Why do I get the feeling that Coach meant for this to happen?" I asked Tobin. "Because she probably did." Tobin replied.
