Jamies P.O.V
As soon as mom drove out to the front of the gym, I quickly dashed into the back seat with Matt close behind followed by Peyton, then in the middle we had Colton, Casey and Blake and then Reagan and Tina had somehow squished in the front seat, from what I could see Reagan was hiding at Tina's feet which was hilarious in itself. As we started the journey back home mom stopped by McDonald's drive through. Everyone ordered something and when it got to me I told them that I wasn't feeling well and would pass on the offer. In my head I was counting all the calories and how much weight I'd end up putting on if I ate it, I didn't like what that number went up to in my mind so I passed blaming it on feeling sick which worked like a charm last time.
I continued to stare out the car window as the smell of greasy and fatty food wafted around the car. I tried to open the window closest to me so I wouldn't be intoxicated by the smell but it didn't work. I just sat back stuck my ear phones in my ears and tried to close them all of by focusing on my breathing and going through my counts and new movements in the routine. As I started to think of the routine my mind trailed over to Cheetahs. I missed the environment of Cheer Athletics so much but I didn't feel as challenged there as I did at Gym Tyme. If Brad had called me and told me that the entire 2012 Worlds team had come back to compete in a new division such as IOC6 I would be running back to Texas in a heartbeat... I needed to find out where my true loyalty stood and figure it out quickly.. I couldn't have the team second guessing my commitment to them or any Cheetahs finding out my inner confliction.
Matts P.O.V
After we all collected our food from the front of the car I turned to my right to see Jamie with her ears closed and music on full blast. She looked deep in thought and although I didn't want to disturb her I knew I had to. There was something serious on her mind and when she blandly refused food claiming she was sick Matt knew something was up. I nudged her softly and Jamie whined a little in the back of her throat but I didn't get anything else out of her before she closed in on herself even more. From what I could see and hear sobs wracked through her body as she tried to control herself only to fail and start sobbing harder. I honestly had no idea what to do. I hadn't seen Jamie like this since NCA and that hadn't been nearly as bad as this.
As soon as Jamie's mom pulled up to the front of the house, I practically jumped out of the boot and ran inside with Jamie still sobbing in my arms. I quickly took of her cheer clothes and quickly pulled a pair of pyjamas on her without a second thought. I then quickly took out her hair and carried her to her bed where I laid her down and pulled her to my chest. Jamie's sobs still hadn't slowed down and I started to get worried, I quickly checked her head to see if it had to do with her stitches and her ankle to see if it was bruised. While inspecting Jamie for any injuries that could cause her to feel like that I felt her tugging at my t-shirt. I slowly lifted my head to face her when she quickly said “Help me Matty, I need you to help me. I don't know what else I'm supposed to do.”
Matt tried to hide the nervousness that was creeping into his pupils and quickly cupped Jamie's face trying desperately to get her to tell him what was wrong. “Jamie, what do you need help with?! Whatever you want me to do I'll do it okay! Just let me know. Please you're scaring me.” Matt said with the desperation and fear clearly leaking into his voice. “I want to go home Matty, I want to go home and I want to be perfect. I want to be skinny.” Matt looked at Jamie sharply after this noticing that deep into his love's eye's were a mixture of feeling and it hurt Matt to see that in there. “J-Jamie what do you mean home? You are home, here in Louisville this is home baby” Matt quickly said so he didn't let his voice crack.
Jamie needed help that Matt didn't know how to give. Go home? How was he supposed to do that when they were already home..? I felt like I was trying to figure out a riddle and this was proving more difficult by the second. “Jamie, what do you mean home?” I held my breath as Jamie looked up at me with another set of tears falling down her face. “ H-Home Matty, I want to go home” Jamie said brokenly and slowly before falling into another set of sobs. I had no idea what to do and I knew I couldn't force the truth out of her so I slowly tucked her into bed and pulled her into my chest. “It'll all be okay baby, we'll get through whatever is hurting you okay? I promise”
I had no idea what was wrong or how to fix it but I was going to make sure I kept that promise.
Peytons P.O.V
As soon as we reached the Andries house, Matt had carried Jamie out of the car and into her room in about 10 seconds. I had no idea what was going on or what was wrong with Jamie. She had seemed fine when we were tumbling together but once we got in the car it was almost like all her walls came down. She had shut herself off from everyone and had also refused to eat. I know she didn't exactly like fast food but she wouldn't say no especially after a long workout at cheer.
The gang and I all walked into one of the big guest rooms that had been set up for us while we waited for Jamie and Matt to come and meet us. We were all quietly talking and discussing what we thought was wrong with Jamie when Matt walked through the door, eyes classy and skin pale. He looked like he was about to break down, I quickly ran over to him as he fell into my arm's and bought us both to a sitting position on the floor.
I gave everyone a look and they quickly cleared out of the room to give Matt and I some space. About 5 minutes later, the front of my T-shirt was soaked with Matt's tears which meant things were worse than I originally thought.. I was scared of what Matt would tell me, I didn't want it to be something bad but I knew deep down it would be. “Matt... I need you to talk to me. I need you to say something, your scaring me” I said to him desperately, I need him to communicate with me but he still hadn't said anything.
“Pey.. There's something wrong with Jamie.. She kept saying she wanted to go home but she is home and I have no idea what to do.. Theirs something wrong with her” I felt my heart drop in my chest as Matt spoke with such worry and sadness that I knew that whatever was wrong with her it wouldn't be an easy fix. I just needed to make sure she would be okay.
“Matt, do you think we should tell her Dad? I don't think her mom would be much help in this situation?” He looked at me with tear filled eyes and I couldn't bare to see him with such an upsetting look in his face that I couldn't deal with and turned away as tears filled my own eyes. Our moment was interrupted by a loud sob followed by a scream of anguish and Matt and I both looked at each other knowingly and ran to Jamie's room.
I told Matt to go in first and I slowly trailed after scared of what I'd find.. What I saw shocked me, Jamie was in the middle of the bed, pillows and blankets thrown all over the room, her hair a mess and tear tracks going down her face. My heart broke for her as she kept screaming and sobbing loudly. Matt walked over to her and pulled her into his chest as she kept sobbing and trying to get out of his grip. I walked over to the other side and pulled them both into my arms as I tried to keep my calm as Jamie kept thrashing about.
“What do we do Matty? Somethings really wrong with her?” “ I-I don't know Pey, she has never been like this ever.. I don't know if it's a stress thing or a mental thing or something more serious than that..” Matt said before choking back a cry as he slowly sunk into the bed bringing Peyton and Jamie with him. Jamie slowly started to calm down as we kept her tightly in our grip. Matt and I were going to help Jamie, we were going to make her better no matter what happened.
