Chapter 24
“Yeah I’ll just grab Pete’s stuff then we can get outta here…” Andy’s voice echoed though the room. Andy stepped in first closely behind him was Kat. I was kinda stuck in the moment. SHIT. “What’s happening in here!” said Andy. I quickly shrugged off Tom’s arm and stood up away from his bed. Tom shot up and stood in the opposite direction. Kat stood with her arms crossed and with that look on her face which she only did when she was fuming. She was giving me the most dirtiest look I had ever seen, I looked away but I could still feel her glare. Andy wasn’t looking at me but if he was giving me the look he was giving to Tom I would be shitting myself. We stood there in silence; I think they were expecting us to say something, but I couldn’t think of an excuse we had been caught red handed and there was nothing I could say. “May what the heck are you doing here and what were you just doing!” Kat shouted. I looked at her for a second then looked at Tom. I gave him a look as if to say ‘Help’ he gulped “It was my fault Kat don’t blame this on her” he said in my defence “It was both of our faults” I corrected. “I warned you” Kat said sternly “I know but I can’t help how I feel Kat” I said “I can’t believe you Tom!” Andy said and shock his head “Tom I thought you understood” “Both of you don’t get it, we both love each other and we can’t help it” he said. I could feel myself blushing and my heart was racing but I just nodded. “This is going to affect both of your carriers as divers, you know the rules” said Kat and Andy nodded. “But that’s only for the Olympics, the Olympics are nearly over” Tom said “But this will affect your training and your competitions” Andy responded Tom walked over to me and locked our fingers and a small smile spread across his face and I mirrored it. “You are both 2 brilliant divers don’t let a stupid thing like this ruin your lifes” Said Kat “I thought you of all people would understand Kat its not ‘stupid’ we’re serious” I spat “You are too young to be making decisions like theses for yourself” Kat answered “What I’m 17 nearly 18 I’m an adult” I spat “not yet you’re not” “But I am” Tom interrupted “I can make my own decisions” he responded. Kat whispered something into Andy’s ear and I looked at Tom. He rubbed my face with his thumb ‘don’t worry I love you’ he mouthed ‘I love you too’ I replied and my eyes filled up with water. Andy nodded. “Come on May let’s go” said Kat “Wait what I don’t understand” she grabbed my hand, I shrugged it off “Come on” she said sternly. “I’m not gonna let you ruin your life over a boy” She said and grabbed my hand tightly and pulled me away. “Let her go” said Tom. Andy pulled Tom back by his shoulders. “Ouch Kat your hurting me” I cried as she pulled me out the door “I love you May” Tom shouted just before I left “I love you too diver boy” as I left I could hear Tom shouting all kinds of abuse at Andy. The tears escaped from my eyes as she pulled me away and along the corridor. We reached my apartment, once it had all sunk in I found the strength to shake of Kat and find my key that was in my pocket I unlocked the door; turned to face Kat “I thought you actually might understand me this time Kat” I cried “May…” “Kat just leave me alone ok!” I shouted and slammed the door in her face. The tears poured out faster as I sank down the door and onto the floor. I don’t know how long sat there crying my eyes out. But I realised Katie would be back soon so I wiped the leftover make up off my face and chucked the makeup wipe in the bin. I pulled my phone out of my pocket and saw I had a new message from Tom:
‘Love you bbe forever, I will try and text you when I can but I think Andy will be taking my phone away xxx’
I smiled and my eyes welled up again but I blinked away the tears. I miss him already, his touch, his smile, his eyes, his voice, his jokes. Just him.
