Part 15

"Uozumi. Momo." Rin said. "Hai." They both said. "Both of you have equally strong feelings about the relay. In that respect, neither of you surpass the other. But if we consider the results from today's individual events, there is only one choice we could make to aid the team." Rin said. I let him handle all of the relay things, since he should choose what swimmers he wants to swim with, not me. "Momo." Rin said. "Do you want to try swimming the relay?" Momo smiled really big, but got a evil glare from Uozumi. "Momo." He said. "Y-Yes?" He asked. "I won't tolerate you loosing. You have to win for me too.!" Uozumi said. "Right! Leave it to me!" Momo replied. They then began a friendly fight. I looked over at Nitori. He looked disappointed. "For tomorrow's medley relay, Momo, Iwashimizu, Souske, and I will compete." Rin said. "Okay, that's it for today's meeting. Everyone get plenty of rest to be ready for tomorrow. Dismissed." "Aye Sir!"

I was laying down in my bed, staring at the bottom of the top bunk. I was thinking about tomorrow. Who would win? Would it affect our friendship in anyway? What about Sousuke and Haruka? Are they in a big fight? I then moved my wrist an felt pain in it. I then heard a knock at the door. I opened it and saw Rin. "Yeah?" I asked. "We need to talk." He said to me. I gestured for him to come in and he sat down at my desk, while I sat on my bed. "What happened today?" He asked me. "What do you mean?" I asked. "You know what I mean, when you were getting out if the pool you couldn't, then you were using one hand to get out." He said to me. "Nothing's wrong, I just felt like getting out like that." I told him. "Something is wrong Hibiki, I can tell." He said to me. "I fine, really!" I replied. "Then give me twenty." He replied. "Aye sir!" I said to him getting on the ground, starting to do push-ups. When I put my weight on my arms I fell because of my wrist. "See." He said. I then sat up on the floor, holding my wrist. "I don't want to talk about it." I said to him. "I need to know what's going on Hibiki." Rin said to me. "No you don't" I replied. "Please tell me what's going on." Rin asked me. "No Rin! No means No!" I yelled at him. "I was just trying to help!" He yelled back at me. "Well maybe I don't want your help!" I yelled back. His eyes widened. "Then fine! I'll leave!" He yelled, he then opened the door and slammed it shut behind him. What did I just do..... I slammed my fist on the floor and started to cry. "Please Rin, come back please." I whispered. I then went on my bed. What was I going to do now? I lost almost everything now. I lost my family. Now I lost my best friend. Why? Why does this have to happen to me. It's probably all my fault that Mom, Dad, and my Brother died. If I was there, I could have prevented it. I could have stopped them and we could live happily together. It was all my fault. Now I've driven away one of my very bestest friends. I didn't deserve to be where I am. I didn't deserve to breathe. I needed I calm down, I was getting to worked up. I grabbed my phone and went to the pool. That's where I always go to calm down.
