Inked In Love

Thirty Four

Thirty Four

" Where's Jenny she needs to be out there" I asked Bryony who was grabbing her stuff from the lockers. We were 2 hours away from the competition. After 2 weeks of hard work in training. Today was the day jenny would finally get back to competing.

" I thought she walked out already" bryony said confused.

"coach, she's outside with Theo" Thomas said poking his head in but with his eyes closed.

Good idea.

I walked out and found both Theo and Jenny standing together. I could see the nervous look in her eyes, I didn't want her to be nervous but its normal I'm sure a few words of support from her brother will be good for her.

I slipped my hand into Theo's. " everything okay Jenny" I asked her. She breathed in deeply and nodded.

"we'll be right there, just swim like any day in training nobody is expecting miracles just try your best" I said to her.

"I'm going to sit with your boyfriend" I smiled and left them again.

I walked through to our seats. " she's nervous isn't she" Jacob said when he noticed me sitting next to him.

" ofcourse she is, its normal though" I shrugged it off hoping to calm Jackson down, I sensed his leg shaking.

Thankfully Jenny walked out. She was easily recognisable in her bright blue swimming costume and cap. Jackson shot up and cheered for her. I managed to successfully pull him down.

"youre making her more nervous, just smile" I said between my teeth. He leant back grinning. " you're right sorry"

I noticed Theo lingering near the exit where the swimmers would exit after their swim.

After small introductions they all got ready for the start of the race. When the gun went off every swimmer jumped and dived through the water. I held my breathe as her body shot through the water.

She had a good start but I knew that the swimmers she was against would be fast.

I cocked my head to look at Jacob. " you can cheer now" I whispered. As soon as I said this he shot up picking up a massive sign. He somehow hid that from me all day. I couldn't contain the laughter that came out it was hilarious but cute at the same time.

My eyes went back to Jenny, she was just behind 4th place. She needed to get in the top 4 to be able to get through to the next stage.

2 more laps to go.

She seemed to be pushing harder. It seems that some of the lead swimmers were losing their flow and were not gaining speed whereas Jenny was swimming really well.

" YES BABY"

" oh shes going fast, holy shit she's over taking"

"That's my girlfriend everyone look at her go!" By this point the guy was on his feet jumping In excitement.

I smiled as I watched Jenny come past 4th and then 3rd, she was pushing hard to get to second but I knew they were too far ahead for her.

The race ended with a very dramatic ending. Jenny had successfully secured 3rd place sending her straight through to the next stage in Sheffield.

Jackson was jumping up and down waving his sign. Desperate to get it seen by Jenny.

I think Jenny was in too much shock to even think about looking at him.

Towards the exit I saw bryony jumping up and down next to Theo who had the biggest grin on his face.

" what are you still doing here, go" I pushed at Jacob when he went to sit back down. I couldn't leave yet I had to watch the others from the team.
