Today was the day, my parents even booked the day of work to come and support me. Adam ofcourse wanted to come as well, I felt so bad stringing him along like this but I needed him to help me get through it all and he has been so amazing to me. I just hope I wouldn't hurt him to much when I finally broke it off, but now wasn't the time to be thinking about it all. I needed to be in the zone. Dad drove us all to the pool, mum in the front and Adam in the back with me (dad still wasn't happy about me dating Adam but he understood why I was). Once we parked up and got out all I could hear was shouting loud enough for people to stop what they were doing and watch. Looking over to were it was coming from I see two women, On closer inspection I realise its Faith and Emma ( and boy did Emma look mad). Mum pulled me away and into the centre followed by dad and Adam. There was lots of people in the main entrance waiting to go into the viewing gallery but from what I could tell there was only a handful of people swimming today, myself and two others from my club. The rest I had never seem before. Hayley had also turned up with Leo to support me, which I was grateful for at this point. They all wished my good luck and left me to go get ready, I went to my normal locker and grabbed everything I would before taking my tracksuit off and closing the door.
We were put into groups according to our ability and strengths, for me I was an all rounder meaning all of my strokes were strong. Giving me an advantage as I could choose what I wanted, but Coach Faith had said I should go into the mixed relay so my full potential could be seen. While waiting to be told who and what groupe was going first I looked up to see the crowd, spotting my lot with in a few seconds. Looking back to poolside our coaches were making their way over to us, Faith didn't look happy but nowhere near as bad as Emma who was standing with the rest of the officials. Andy gave a pep talk as always to us before the other two had to go into there race groups. Faith sat next to me while I waited for my race.
''Good luck today Rose, I know you can do this and you will get on the team.'' She had a smile on her face but I could tell there was a problem, if only i could ask but Emma was looking at us the whole time. Trying as hard as I could not to touch or do anything out of the normal, I thanked her and started to do my stretching. My race was the last of the day, luckley there was only 4 of us in this race. Goggles on and taking my place in the diving blocks the nerves and stress I had was washing away. I knew what was expected of me and as soon as the bang sounded I was off, 16 lengths in total was required using all four strokes. I hadn't even see who was in what position towards the end so I just gave it my all. The cheering was so loud when i'd finished and climbed out, I hadn't even got my goggles off before I was tackled and thrown around by my other club members and coaches. That's when I found out I had come first with a lead of 20 seconds. Mum was heard easily from the gallery followed by Hayley and Adam. Though I may of won the race it didn't mean I went straight through as the officials had to talk about it, and knowing my luck Emma would put a bad word in for me as I hadn't managed to get Faith to take her up on her offer. We wouldn't know for a while so mum invited everyone from our club back to ours, I went to get changed and said I would meet them by the car save them hanging around here.
Just turning off the shower and opening the door I managed to walk into someone until I realised it was Emma. She was pushing me back into the shower and bolting the door, I was still naked and felt embarrassed as her body was way better then mine. Luckley I had my towle which was now wrapped around me, Trying to protest her actions he put her hand over my mouth so I couldn't say anything.
''So it looks like that little chat we had went over your head. I told you to convince Faith to marry me and I would get you on the team. But no you didn't convince her well enough as she still says no, now I'm going to stop you from getting on the team, it's only fair. What i can't work out is why is she so interested in you, it's not like your anything special. I bet your not all that in bed, that poor boyfriend of yours i feel sorry for. Faith and me on the other hand... well lets just say i'm that good that she screams my name over and over agen. I knew she wanted me back the first night she cooked for me and we ended up in her bed. Maybe I should show your boyfriend what its like to be with a real women. Don't cross me Rose as with one word you won't be accepted into any team, understand?'' I was shaking at this point, but trying to not show it, once she left I bolted the shower and just sat on the floor crying. Not really sure what to do, did she suspect that Faith and me had something going on? I didn't know but I just sat there cradling my legs and cried.
*knock knock*
It was the shower door, I wasn't sure who it was or how long I had been sitting there on the floor crying. I really didn't what to open the door just incase it was her agen. I looked under the door and sore a pair of feet with a tattoo that i knew was Faiths, unlocking the door and sitting back down while she let herself in. My skin was cold to the touch and hair was stuck to my face, Faith pulled me up and brushed the hair back behind my ear.
''Rose what wrong? your mum was worried about you as you have taken so long. I told them I would come check on you so they could get back to the house to let everyone in. What has happened?'' I asked where Emma was and thankfully Faith informed me she had gone with the other officalc to make their decision. I couldn't do this anymore, I want her so much but Emma would never give Faith up without a fight. Without realising i had started to shake badly, to the point that my legs couldn't hold me up anymore. Faith managed to move me in a way that I was now supported by the wall and her. I needed to get dry and dressed soon or I would get to cold, she didn't care at this point if anyone else was around to see what was going on. We moved into the family size cubicle so there was room for us both. I hadn't even reliced that Faith had managed to get my stuff out my locker before she even found me, but that's what I loved about her the most. How she always thought about everything before I had the chance, yet when I looked in her face I sore the pain and worry. I just sat on the little bench and let Faith dry and dress me, She even walked me out the cubical and over to the hair dryers to finish it of.
By the time we had got in her car and left the center, I couldn't hold back the tears anymore. Faith pulled over so she could concentrate on me, holding my hand in comfort but never pushing me to talk until I was ready. Blurting out everything that had happened with Emma and by the time I was finished I was breathing so hard, Faith was still holding my hands in one of hers and rubbing my back with the other. Waiting for me to calm down enough to talk.
''Rose listen, Im telling you now that if you don't get picked after how well you did today then we will all know why and I will make sure that we get it investigated ..''
''Is it true though Faith, is what she said true about you two?'' Just by the hesitation I was given my answer. The women of my dreams had cheated on me with the witch itself, how was I supposed to get through that? It's one thing to forgive her for kissing another women but to go as far as she had was another ball game all together. I didn't want to talk anymore, all I wanted was to be at home.
''Take me home now, I have nothing else to say to you''
As we pulled up outside my house I could see that everyone was still here just by the number of cars, I was hoping that they may of all gone home so I could go straight to bed but that wasn't going to happen now. Faith tried talking to me but it still hurt to much to know she had not just kissed another and enjoyed it but also had lied to me about how far they had gone, I need time to think. Once in I walked to the kitchen with her following, Adam was the first to embrace me with a big hug and kiss on the head. Mum was thanking Faith for bringing me home while dad just did his normal of listening and agreeing to everything mum said, we were all standing by the counter talking about the race. From where I was positioned I could see Faiths face and she wasn't happy about how close Adam and me were, just then I wanted to make her pay for the pain she just dealt me in a way that it was enough for her to see yet not taken any more then needed. So I lent into Adam in a way that he put his arms around me with his chest to my back and could still manage to give me a kiss on the head or lips if I tilted my head to the side (which of cause I did). I was still cold and sleepy but wanted to wait to hear who got picked and luckley we didn't have to wait long as Coach Andy came in to tell us that on one from our club got picked, He was not happy at all and started talking about the appeal but I wasn't really listening now. I excused myself saying I was going to go to bed, When Adam offered to tuck me in and hold me till I fell asleep I couldn't refuse as Faiths face showed just how mad she was then said her byes and left. Call me a child all you want but I don't think she really knew how badly she had hurt me this last few months so I was showing her it all in one go.
