I pulled on my sweats as soon as I was done. I saw Coach and I knew he was disappointed. But It was like he didn't realize I only ran track for fun.

"Good job today. I know you'll do better next meet." He said before limping out from our little team tent.

"Girl you did good, a silver is always better than no placement at all." Dawn said. I rolled my eyes.

"Not when Bluntham wants gold. And only gold." I said she nodded. I grabbed my duffle bag and limped out meeting up with Alina who gratefully had my ice bags for my hamstrings ready.

"Alina I love you so much." I said. I sat the bags on the floor and placed them apart so that I could ice.

"I know. Congrats boo. First track meet ever and you placed." She smiled and I nodded with a smile. I couldn't help but look around. Yes I was looking for Josiah.

"He had to go CreShawn was sleep. And you know when he get scared out his sleep his asthma spur up." Alina said. I nodded in understanding. I was kind of sad, I didn't know if he saw me place or not.

"Did he see me place?" I asked and they both shook their heads 'no' which almost instantly made me a little sad. But his child should always come first.

"Is he home?" I asked and they nodded. I was about to stand up but due to the ice bags my got dang legs were numb. And plus I wasn't finished icing. I waited a little while before Alina walked back over to me.

"You're done with ice." Alina said as she snatched the bags for under me, She then handed me a slip from the head trainer along with a little Velcro brace for my ankle. I rolled my eyes at her snatching the ice bags from under me. Kelvin was on his phone and he looked frustrated as he tapped away. I didn't put too much thought into it. I picked up my bags and fixed my sweatsuit. Alina had to stay back and do all injury reports and Kelvin just stayed back with her.

I was about to start walking over to Josiah's dorm alone. His dorm wasn't far from the arena at all. As soon as I made it to the concession area I heard the sounds of thunder and the pouring of rain. Maybe this was God telling me to go to my dorm...then again this might be God telling me to go to his dorm because his was closer than mine. I thought for a few before inhaling the confidence I didn't have. I started out jogging but then I felt myself getting a little tired. Plus my gym duffle bag was wearing me down. It was just that heavy. I just started speed walking.

When I got to the dorm building I was relieved. I went over to the elevator but it was taking too long. So I ran towards the stairs. When I got to his floor I slightly pulled open the door and saw that I had a perfect view of his door and the girl standing in front of it kissing a shirtless Josiah. I felt like complete shit. I was soaking wet and running to tell him that I am in love with him and that I want to be with him. But this is what happens my heart breaks.  There's no one to be mad at but myself. He's single. Like for real single. It was when they pulled away and he stepped to the side letting her in. I walked away from the stairway door. I sat on the step and cried. I couldn't even move. Or have the decency to. I wanted to cry in this one spot.
