Chapter 12....

Monday morning Danny came over to my house and dragged me out of bed, and I mean literally dragged me out of bed, threw a swim suit at me and waited outside my door as I got dressed.

'I can't believe your doing this to me.' I moaned a I walked out.

'If I have to do it then so do you.' He shrugged failing miserably at joking about.

'Fine!' I groaned stomping down the stairs. My Dad was in the kitchen and thanks Danny silently as I walked out the door.

Danny walked into the pool with me and waited until I was in the water before leaving. Mr Taylor sat on the grand stands watching. He was no longer my school coach and it gave me slight satisfaction that he had no say over me anymore.

Eventually days turned into weeks and weeks turned into months healing my broken heart and taking away most of the pain, but I was on auto pilot as time worked its magic. I was Mr Taylor who snapped me out of it.

'Oh for the love of.....How many times do I have to tell you stop dropping your left shoulder during you turn.' I pulled to a stop looking around taking in my surrounding for the first time in months and turn to give Mr Taylor a blank stare.

'What? Don't you dare act as if I haven't told you this everyday for the past two months Rhy.'

'E-excuse me?'

'Oh for god sake come here.' He called walking to the bench to get his clipboard. Curiosity got the better over me as did his tone, which wasn't patronising, it was just helpful frustration.

Leaning down to me at the side of the pool he showed me what he meant about me dropping my shouler.

'Oh sorry Mr Taylor!' He gave me this weird looked and frowned.

'Since when do you call me Mr Taylor anymore?'

It was my turn to be shocked this time. 'What do you mean? It's your name right?'

'Rhy what the hells up with you today?' He laughed lightly

'Nothing?' I asked more to myself then him, the look on his face was freaking me out.

'Look tomorrow is Christmas ok, I get it you don't want to be here...'

'CHRISTMAS?' I exclaimed.

'Yeah, you've been going on about it for weeks.' His facial expression turned to one of worry, when I still looked confused. 'You know, you and Danny are going to see Kiera at uni?'

'Oh my god, oh my god.' The past four months came rushing back to the forefront of my mind and I started to freak out.

'No, I mean it's only like...' I stood there counting it off on my fingers, '...it cant be Christmas already... Noah he just.' I waited for the pain to hit me but there was nothing more then a dull tug at my heart. 'Oh my god what's happened to me.'

Understanding flooded through Mr Taylor and he dropped into the pool next to me, puling me towards him and hold me still in front of him.

'Rhylee, Noah died, four months ago, you and Danny have been planning this trip for weeks.'

'Where is Sydney?'

'She was here yesterday!' he looked at me confused. 'God I thought you were out of it but man you've really been out of it.'

'And what about you and me? What are we like friends now or something?' I asked.

'Well, you ignored me for like a month and then I saw you doing some weird shit with your swimming and told you how to fix it, and slowly you would let me correct things, and well it sort of just grew from there. As for friends, you call me Luke, but you leave the minute training finishes.'

'Oh well, oh ok!' I pulled myself away from him and sat on the side of the pool with my feet hanging in the water. 'Well thanks...for helping me?'

'Rhylee, I....'

'Hey Rhy, you ready to go I have to be at work in like 5 minutes?' Sydney called from the door bored.

'Sydney?' I jumped up from where I was and ran over to her hugging her.

'oh oh ok, so what you're talking again.' She asked stopping me.

'What?'

'Rhylee, you really haven't been yourself lately..' Mr Taylor said from behind me.

'But I....' I felt tears forming in my eyes. 'Sydney I'm so sorry I...'

'Don't cry Rhylee!' Sydney cried stepping forward and hugging me. 'I'm sorry I just didn't know how to react you've been so dead and emotionless, every time I try to do anything with you, you just shrug and walk away.

We stood there hugging for a while until Mr Taylor started laughing hysterically behind me. His laugh was seductive and musical. Making me turn around and stare at him.

'What so funny?' Sydney snapped at him.

'Oh nothing, just a thought.'

'Oh yeah care to enlighten the rest of us?' She snapped again.

'It's just that I realised that my life is about to get a whole lot more difficult. Good to have you back.' He winked and walked off into the back.
