*Bella's POV*

After about 30 minutes of crying, I fell asleep. This is what happens when I cry I don't know why. It's just another thing that is weird about me.

When I woke up I was on the couch. Joey was sitting on the floor below me switching through the channels. I shift my weight and Joey turns to me.

Joey: "Well look who's awake!"

I smile. "Hey Joey, can you get me some water?"

Joey smiles. "Sure." He stands up and walks into the kitchen. A few seconds later he comes back.

"So it is okay if I know what you were crying about earlier?" asks Joey.

I sit up and drink my water. "Oh, um. My sisters..... they.... they ran away."

Joey's eyes became wide. "Oh my gosh Bella, I am so sorry." He hugs me and sits on the couch next to me. "Did all of them run away?"

"No, just Larisa and Sylvia." I felt like crying again. A tear did go down my cheek. Joey rubbed my back. "It will be alright Bella. It's okay. They probably just went go somewhere." Joey says and I hope he's right.

*Sylvia's POV*

As Larisa and I sit on the bus full of awkward and strange people, I start to miss home but I don't want to tell Larisa or she would say for us to go home. Even though it was her idea. I could tell see was a little afraid too, but I know that she will protect me.

*Madisen's POV*

As I sit in the backseat of the car, I shad a tear. I really miss Sylvia and Larisa but I know that I can't do anything about it and that my parents couldn't keep us sisters apart. I know that if I won the swim meet, I would ask my friend Maria who is 14 to go with me and fly to LA. I know that I am going to win but ever since Larisa and Sylvia left, I have had many cramps. Maybe I am just stressed about them riding buses instead of flying.

When we get to my meet, I see my arch enemy Michelle. She walks towards me and when she reaches me she tries to stomp on my foot but I move my foot before she could get to me and she slams her foot hard on the ground.

Michelle: "Ow!!"

I smirk. "See Michelle, this is why you don't do the same thing every meet. You come up to me every time I arrive and try to stomp my foot but I always move away before you could reach it, and this is why you always get second. Oh wait, actually it's because I'm better than you at swimming." I flip my hair and walk away, not giving a second glance at her.

A few minutes after my encounter with Michelle, I feel her eyes on my back. Like woman chill. I know I have an awesome body but I mean, its not that great. I mean I am prettier than her. But I'm not that self centered to list the things I have that she doesn't.

The meet is just starting. I'm about 5th in line to dive off the blocks. After one person, then another, and another, I'm next. I wait for the person in front of me to finish the 500yd freestyle, they take forever. Last time I checked I had a 14 minute time, yet that was almost a year ago. I think I've improved by then. Before I know it, I'm standing behind the diving blocks.

"Swimmers to your blocks" I hear the announcer say. I stand up onto the blocks, a little shaky from how high and skinny they are.

"Take your mark" I hear, I quickly grab the edge of the block. *BEEP* ok damn turn down it for the swimmers I think you broke my ear. I jump off the blocks into the freezing cold water.

I'm around 700yds right now. Ok I'm doing good, I don't see anyone in front of me so I guess that's a good sign. I do a flip turn and head back down the pool and somehow hit my foot. GOD DAMN IT FOOT!! THIS IS NOT A GOOD TIME FOR A CRAMP OR INJURY. I push my toes up making me a little slower, but it hurts less. I can see the arms of a swimmer in the other lane, I see the words "Arch" on the side of a cap knowing that's Michelle's last name. I quickly shake my foot trying to get the cramp out, doesn't work.

I push off the wall again, I push as hard as I can trying to get away from Michelle. My foot instantly feels better, must have pushed off a little to hard. I then go as fast as I can. After 5 more flips, I hear the bell, last lap. I sprint as fast as I can, not even thinking about Michelle or anyone else. I kick as hard as I can while moving my arms and pulling the water behind me. I see the red sign in the water meaning this is the time to touch the wall, I sprint when I look up and see the red and black flags. I was only 5 feet away from the wall, I touch the wall, heating a beep meaning my time was confirmed. Pull my cap off and go back underwater, making my head feel cold as shit, but I needed that.

"Good job bitch" I hear from the lane next to mine. I swing my head over seeing Michelle smiling harshly.

"Why thank you, bitch ass skank ass hoe" I say taking advantage off Joeys amazing comeback. She rolls her eyes and gets out of the water. I do the same, making sure not to forget stepping on Michelle's foot, karma's a bitch. I go up to my bag pulling out my Towel and phone, why not go on twitter while I wait go them to put up the final winners onto the screen. I scroll through my feed and see that Joey tweeted me.

"@xxmaddyxx Good luck with your swim meet!" I read, smiling at how he cares so much, what else could you ask for in a guy?

"The finals for the girls 1000yd freestyle are now on the board" I hear a different announcer say on the loud speaker. I look up and before I can find my name I can hear all my friends yelling my name

"YEAH MADDY!!! YOU GO GLEN COCO!!" I look up and see my friend Julia clapping a screaming, same with the other 5 girls behind her. I look up to the bored and find my name posted next to a 1. I got first.

I look below my name and see the number 2 with the name Michelle Arch. I found her in the crowd of people with her arms crossed and a frown on her face.

"Madisen Evans please come to the timing room" I hear over the loud speaker again. My Friends freak even more, as my face gets red even more. I walk over to my coach and ask her where it is, she points to the room where they were going to give me... $1000 dollars, UGGG THIS CANT BE HAPPENING!!

"Here you go Madisen" the announcer says while handing me ten, one hundred dollar bills

"1 dollar for each yard" my friend says standing behind me.

"Yep" I say while looking at the money

"Can I have a hundred?" My friend says with almost a serious and joking kind of voice.

"Um no, I don't think you just swam 1000 yards in 12 minutes, did you?" I said glaring at her, and being the serious people we are, I make a double chin, then her doing the same. We break out laughing.

"Bu seriously, I can't give you the money. I want to do something really special that includes my sisters."

My friend smiles. "Yeah, I know. I was just joking." She puts her arm around my shoulders and we walk out the pool.

But I know this is no joke to me when I'm flying over Washington and Oregon to see my sisters behind my parents back.
