Where A Swimmer's heart lays.

4.

   I got home sooner than expected, but I'm glad I did.

   I strip off my clothes and head to the shower. I filled the bath and got in.

   After getting out, I decided to go call that website number and apply for the job.

   I called the number and the lady said that I could come in for an interview on Thursday at 8am. I hung up after saying 'thank You' and 'goodbye' and did my little happy dance that consists of throwing my hands up, shaking my hips, and kicking my feet up like a mad woman.

   I sat down and replayed the beginning of my day. I couldn't believe Cyus still lived here and still remember me. Then again it would make sense since I was his rival for almost 2 years. Then again why did he have to be so rude? He got his thing going so. Why? Maybe he was just in a bad mood or maybe I really had hurt him when I fell. Oh No.

   What the..... Snap. Out. Of. It. Andromeda. Who cares if he had gotten hurt. You've gone through unbearable pain because of him, so should you really have to worry? No. Exactly.

   'Ding, Ding, Ding'

   "Coming," I shout out to the person at the door.

   I open it to see the one and only.....  drum roll please,
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Marulo! °Sarcasm°

   "What? Did you follow me home. Obviously. Well if you don't go I'll go call the police," I say raising an eyebrow and rolling my eyes. "Oh, really? Well you're not doing a great job at it," He says then grins.

   "So you did---hmph." Marulo suddenly puts his hand against my mouth and pushes me so he could get inside. He steps in and closes my door.

   "What are you doing?!?" I  exclaimed.

   "Listen B?$%*, why don't you be quite and patient before I knock the light out of you," He says threateningly.

   "No. Why don't you listen pineapple heada$$. You're in my home, where I'm out of the public's view or eye, but you decide to bring your asteroid a$$ over here and boss me around while  I'm trying to relax. Nu-uh. You've must've thought with your chicken beak lips, B%#$&." *slap *slap* (yup I slapped him like a boss).

   "Did you just---." "Yes I did." His hands balled up into fists and his face darkened. I backed away and decided on my next move. I turned around, my back facing him, and back kicked him with all my might.

   He fell to the floor, his hands hugging his stomach. "Now, do you want to leave my house?" I ask while trying to hold in my evil laughter. "You B--." I kicked him in the face to shut him up. " I wonder who's going to knock whos lights out, I said smirking.

   To my surprise my door opened again to reveal an even bigger surprise. Cyus. Why? Why does everything have to revolve around him? Can't he just Die. My thoughts had darkened and my eyes had narrowed. Seeing Cyus more than once wasn't good for me.

   Cyus looked at the now angry and hurt Marulo who was now holding his bruised head and stomach. Cyus stared at him and Marulo stared back. To my surprise Cyus bawled in laughter and Marulo quickly got up, but winced. "You *laugh* let her *laugh* beat *laugh You up *more luaghter*" Cyus gasps out while laughing. "No. She just suddenly wanted to go all karate women on me," Marulo grumpingly says.

   "Can you guys get out and talk or laugh outside. You're invading my space that includes my whole house," I say annoyed.

   The laughter stops and Cyus takes a step closer. "Mark may have let you speak that way with him, but don't you dare do that with me, princess," Cyus said threateningly.

   He grabs a hold of my hair and yanks me to his chest. "You're disgusting, don't you dare call me princess, don't even call me by my name. Keep me out of your world," I pretty much spit out.

   Cyus glares at me and tightens his hold on my hair. I feel my skull burning in response and I scream out. Cyus leans towards my ear and says,"I'll have you screaming in even better ways," He smirks.

   "Disgusting. After all the pain you be put me through, this is all you have to say. Absolutely dusgusting," I spit out once again.

   I suddenly feel someone behind me and immediately know it was Marulo. "I would watch what I'd say if I were you," Marulo says. "After all the sh%# he's caused me, you wouldn't understand," I say back.

   "Don't talk back," Cyus says. "Pssshhh. Just cause you're here now doesn't mean I'll change myself all over again."

   To say I wasn't intimidated by these two would be an absolute lie. Having one of them was something I don't want to remember, but having two of them would actually kill me or at least blind me.

   I hear Marulo sigh against the back of my neck. I feel him back away and all of a sudden I'm being pushed by Cyus to the floor.

   I feel my butt collide with the hard wood floor. I look up and glare at Cyus ,but he's already way ahead of me on the glaring. "Get up." "W--." "I said get up."

   "I can't believe this," I mumble and got up. "What'd you say?" Asks Marulo rudely. "Oh. Now you all of a sudden care what I say.

   Marulo's eyes went blood shot and Cyus took a step closer. I took a step back and ran up to my room.

   I locked the door and put two chairs up against it. I sighed in relief and slid against the wall till I hit the floor.

   "What do they want from me? What do they want? Everything they can have is right in front of them, can't they just take whatever and leave?" I say in frustration.

   I heard a 'Bang, Bang, Bang' against my door. I shoot up and backed away. I was scared if the door was going to break and they were to tear me apart, piece by piece to their satisfactory or till I die. "Can't you just leave me alone? Take whatever you damn want, it's right in front of you," I cry out. 'Bang, Bang, Bam'

   The door was starting to break then, 'Bam'. It had given up and there gracefully walking in wad Cyus. Cyus? Where was Marulo? Anyways one is better than two in this situation. I fell to the floor, almost passing out. I was tired, so tired. I just couldn't take this all in. Damn me for being such a weak woman.

   Cyus walks up slowly as if admiring every second of me crying in pain. "Just stop. You've already took every piece of me that I loved. What else do you want from me," I cry out.

   "You and everything about you," Cyus seriously said. I didn't look up at him instead I said,"You've took everything about me in the past, but I won't let you take the present or future me after all I've built up!" I yell at him.

   He finally reaches me and carries me bridal style. "I am nothing. Please, just go," I plead.

   "You may be nothing to yourself, but you're everything to me," said Cyus. "Then why hurt me?" I softly whispered.

   Then everything went black.
