Chapter 2
" AHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!! Don't touch me please, I haven't done to you!! Please don't kill me." I begged the man.
"Oh my God, stop pease stop!"
Nothing stopped him from stripping my shirt off and my shorts were so close to coming off, but something stopped him. I was soon in a dark room and I realized I had been crying and sweating. I was back in my room, thank God. Madi heard me and came running in with a bat. I started laughing at how funny she was and how protective she was over me.
" Sorry just a bad dream sis, you can go to sleep now"
" Kk babe, if you need anything I'm right next to you"
She left and walked towards her room. I quickly fell back asleep forgetting my previous dream. I woke up due to the sound of my hpone ringing, it was my coach.
" Hailey come fast, please the gym has caught on fire."
I dropped my phone, my heart stopped. How could this happen, this can't be happening now, where will I train, will I have to move, how will I win the Olympics now? How will I even make it to the Olympics? So many questions ran through my head. I called Madi and she drove me there. She had such a worried look on her face and i didn't notice I was crying until she turned her head and wiped a tear off of my cheek.
" Everything will be okay hailey, I promise. Now go I'll be waiting here, I'll pray for you and everyone else in there."
I ran, i ran like I have never before. I ran into the gym or may I say i ran into what used to be my gym. I walked over to my coach while still crying my eyes out. He looked at me and immediatly hugged me. I hugged him back. Words didn't need to be said to describe how we felt. We stayed there for what I felt like hours. We finally let go and I looked into his eyes and I knew what we had to do. I noticed all the girls were sitting on what used to be our tumbling floor. I sat there with them. Nobody said a word, talking wasn't necessary in that moment. My coach stood over us and looked us straight in the eyes. He only did that when the situation was serious.
" We are moving today or as soon as we can because we must continue our journey to the Olympics. We have already talked to the head of the best gym in London. We are moving there. Go home and start packing. I have already bought you tickets and the flight leaves at 4, you are dismissed."
He was crying while he talked and so was everyone else. I walked out to Madi's car and she was there in tears. She knew what I was going through and as soon as i stepped in she threw her arns around me and i balled my eyes out and so did she. We finally pulled away and I told her the news.
" I'm moving, to London. It's the only gym left that we have to train for the Olympic trials. I'm sorry, I'm leaving today at four."
Her eyes started to get filled with water that soon became tears.
" You can't move! How will I live? Who will make me cook for them 24/7? Who will make me laugh when I'm down? Hailey please dont leave!"
" Madi I have too!"
I talked through my tears.
" This is my dream. I have worked for this my entire life. I can't give this up. Madi please just let's go home so I could pack."
There were no more words said. We finally arrived and headed towards the house. I ran upstairs and quickly took out my pink bags. I packed everything except my most prized pocession. It was the head of an eagle my dad gave to me. He died when I was 7 in a car accident and that was all I had left of him. I left it with Madi. For her to remember me by something by. I walked downstairs and there she was standing at the bottom of the stairs. Crying her eyes out. When we left the house we were at the airport in no time.
" I love you." She smiled through her tears.
" Madi I love you so much, nothing could ever separte us. We will always be together by heart. No matter how far apart we are you will always be in here."
I pointed to my heart. I meant every word i said. I cried even more.
" Here I want you to have this."
" No Hailey, I can't. Your dad gave this to you, I can't take it."
" Please Madi take it. I want you to have it for as long as I'm gone."
" Flight 69 is boarding."
" Good bye Hailey"
Good bye Madi. I love you so much"
" Forever and always in my heart Hailey."
I slowly walked away. I looked back at her when I gave the borading team my ticket. She couldn't even look at me, I wouldn't blame her. I walked into the plane and took my seat. I quickly put on my glasses to hide my red puffy eyes and my tears. I fell asleep due to all the crying. I sat next to one of my team mates. She was also crying because she had to leave her boyfriend back home. I woke up and we were still on the plane. 6 hours to go. I was still crying. Leaving my sister behind was one of the hardest things I have ever had to do. To pass time I prayed this gym was good enough to train in and I also prayed that God would give me the strength to accept that I wouldn't be with my sister anymore.
" Hey are you okay?" Jordan asked
" Yea, yea I'm fine. How about you?"
" I've been better."
She smiled through her tears. She was the type of girl that could put a smile on her face through any type of situtation. She was a postive girl that lighten up anyone's day. We made small talk to kill time. We were there in what seemed like years. We got off the plane and our coach led us to a bus that would take us to the gym that soon would be the gym we trained in. The gym was far from the airport so I decided to change into my leo and get ready to start training. I listened to my music and prayed the rosary. I always did that beofre I had a big practice or something big was going on.
" Hailey come one we're here!" sarrah yelled
" I'm coming!'
I gathered up all my things and walked out of the bathroom. As soon as I stepped out of the bus I was mesmerized by the new gym. It was amazing and perfect until we walked inside. There she stood, Brittney Bella and her gymnastics crew. She was the stuck up gymnast we would be competing against for a spot on the Olympic team.
" Well well if it isn't the tall and stunning Hailey."
" I always knew you rolled the other way."
"Shut up you are just jealous that my team is better than you and always will be. You are also jealous that I have a father and you don't."
My mind started racing. Anger building up in my body. My blood starting to boil. Without even thinking it i raised my fist and puncher her in the face.
" What is going on here?" Jc yelled
" Nothing, nothing at all."
Brittney and I stared at each other and never stopped. People say that if you look into someone's eyes for more that 6 seconds you either love them or you want to kill them. This was certainly a death glare.
