Chapter 4....

When I got home I was bowled over by an over enthusiastic Sydney, who was waiting for us at the house.

'Don't you ever to that to me again, do you know what you have put me through?' She shouted in my ear as she squeezed me. Pain was running through my chest and I felt the wave of dizziness hit me as she cut off my circulation.

'Syd!...Can't...Breathe.' She immediately released me but I was already swaying. My Dad grabbed my arm in support till I found my legs again and then Sydney took over and helped me up the stairs.

'Oh my word I'm so sorry.'

'It's ok you dappy cow.' Trying to ease her jokingly

She helped me into bed and then bombarded me with a millions question. I filled her in as best I could from getting the cramp to my Dad telling me I had to join the swim team.

'Oh my word, you were actually dead for six minutes?' She screeched.

'Well that's what Mr Taylor said, but I think it was more like maybe 4 minutes 30 seconds tops. The Doctor said that anything longer than that I would most likely have severe brain damage.'

'I can't believe you were dead, I almost lost you,' She sobbed as tears started running down her cheeks.

'Oh come on Syd! I'm fine now. Don't cry, please.' I pulled her down next to me and gave her a squeeze

'But...'

'But nothing Sydney, I'm not going anywhere anytime soon ok?' We were both lying on our sides facing each, when her face suddenly lit up

'Oh my God, what was it like to kiss Mr Taylor?' I burst out laughing causing pain to shoot through my chest from the bruising.

'You're ridiculous, you know that right?' And we both ended up giggling for the rest of the afternoon.

I had the rest of the week off due to my over protective Father and Sydney faked some ridiculous illness to stay with me, the teachers all knew it was bullshit but she managed to convince her Mother to back her up so there wasn't very much they could do about it. Art and Danny stopped by a few times to drop of homework for us and to see how I was doing and I think Art was getting withdrawals from not seeing Sydney enough. What surprised me the most was that a few of the girls from the swim team came by on the Friday to see me. Apparently news had spread about me joining them and they were excited to meet me. On the outside I smiled politely but on the inside I was raging, plotting my revenge silently on Mr Taylor.

Sunday night as Sydney was getting ready to go back to her house. I was begging her to come with me to the pool in the mornings

'Come on Syd, I'll owe you one major.'

'Rhy, you know I'm not a morning person, and what the hell am I going to do for an hour while you swim laps.

'You could always get Art to come with and keep you company.' I said wiggling my eyes at her. This pulled her to a stop as she contemplated the situation.

'I could do that, but Rhy...'

'And I'll cut it down to thirty minutes. Pleazzzzzzzze.' I begged

'Well ok but speak to the others too, maybe we can rotate it between us.'

'Oh thank you thank you thank you!' Giving her a big hug.
