Love incognito *unedited*

Chapter 8

CHAPTER 8

Recap: They went paintballing and Jale got jealous of the hot instructor Peter. (I'm thinking blonde guy? After Fifa, you gotta admit, germans are hoooot. Okay I'm done.)

Jale's POV

I stood behind the metal door to the training room anxiously.

I can't hear anyone.

They'll see me come in.

I am in so much sh*t.

I pushed open the door and everyone turned their head in my direction.

"You're late." The spokesperson, Mike said.

"I'm sorry, I didn't realise there was a specific time I had to be here." I bowed my head in respect.

"Guess you'll have to stay here longer then." He spat.

Everyone else continued their pushups, situps, punching bags or whatever it was that they were doing.

I sat and did some crunches. By the time everyone could leave, I was exhausted but Mike held me back.

"You will continue for five more hours."

"Five more hours?!"

"Yes, now get to it!" He barked.

I trudged on but after three hours I was in pain. My lungs were screaming for air and my muscles burned. Sweat trickled down my forehead and dampened my white wife beater. Every step required energy that I didn't have.

I grabbed my water bottle and sprayed it's contents over my face and in my mouth.

I wanted to collapse on the floor but I couldn't since Mike was still surveilling. So I trudged on despite the agonizing pain.

When five hours finally past, I was dismissed.

I collapsed onto the floor the minute he exited the room.

I texted Evan so he could drive me home and he arrived only a couple of minutes later. He threw me a worried look and helped me to the car.

"What the hell did he do to you?"

"Nothing, I just had extra work to do."

"Extra work? You've been in there for hours!"

"Just drive home."

Reluctantly, he let the subject go and got me home. Before I got out of the car, I slipped on my hoodie and pulled the hood over my head.

If I'm in pain now, I can only imagine what I'll feel like tomorrow.

*******************

"Jale, wake up!"

"Moooom." I whined.

"I'm making breakfast and when I come back I want you to be up and dressed."

"Yes mom." I groaned.

My mother may have lost her child two months ago but she's a strong woman. Or at least, she's strong for me.

The second I heaved my legs off the bed, I felt pain shoot through my entire body. I winced.

Before I left, I kissed my mom on the cheek.

Today's going to be a long day.

Trudge.

Trudge.

Trudge.

"Hey Jale." Megan smiled. "Thanks so much for yesterday I had a great time."
