The Blizzard Competition

Today's the day of the competition and I'm excited as hell, but I'm also nervous. I honestly don't know why I'm nervous since I compete every year. I'm just so happy that my friends and family get to watch me and the Lynches compete. It's the first year that Austin, Dez, and Uncle Danny get to watch us compete and it's the first year that my dad won't be here.

I know Rydel is happy that Jake is coming to watch since they're dating. That's right, Jake and Rydel are finally dating. I think they're so cute together and I can tell that they really like each other, maybe even love. I know they just started dating, but they've liked each other for years so I wouldn't be surprised if they were in love. That's what happened with me and Austin.

Since The Blizzard Competition isn't until tonight, we decided to just hang around the house and relax. We've practiced enough and we're ready to compete.

ALLY!" Austin yelled, snapping me out of my thoughts. Not to mention he gave me a heart attack.

"Geez, Austin!" I yelled, clutching my heart. "Thanks for the heart attack." I said, breathing heavily.

"Sorry, but you were zoned out for five minutes." He gave me a look. "Are you okay?"

"Yeah, I'm fine. Just thinking."

Austin and I were alone in my tree house since we wanted to spend some time together. Everyone else is at the house just watching a movie but we wanted to be here. The tree house is like our practice room so it's really special to us.

"Anything important?" He asked. I shook my head no. I leaned my head on his shoulder and he wrapped his arm around me.

"What times our flight tomorrow?" I asked. Austin and Dez were able to get the same flight as me and Trish but Jason leaves right after the competition tonight.

"Eight in the morning so we have to leave the house at six." I groaned and he chuckled. "You don't want to leave, do you?"

"Yes and no. Yes because I miss my dad, but no because I'll miss Colorado and everyone here."

"I think they are a couple of people you won't miss when we go back to Miami." He said, basically mentioning Eric and Jamie. I nervously chuckled since he doesn't know Eric lives in Miami. But he's in jail so I have nothing to worry about, right?

"Should we head back to the house?" I asked. I lifted my head so I could look at him. He nodded.

We climbed down the tree house and kind of just stared at it for a minute. I know I would see it again next year, but I don't know if Austin would. I don't know if he would come with me for next year's competition.

We walked back to the house, hand in hand, in complete silence. It wasn't an awkward silence, it was a comfortable silence and it was really peaceful.

When we walked into the house, my jaw dropped and my eyes widened in shock and disbelief. Standing in the Lynches living room was none other than Jamie.
