Inked In Love

Thirty Five

Twenty Five

Guilt

That's what I felt ever since that night where I watched Dillan. I couldn't make sense of it. I knew that Theo made it clear that he would never want a romantic relationship with her again but when you have a child it's different.

I could barely catch a wink last night. The media were having a storm making it such a big thing. Anything to get Theo back in the spotlight obviously.

I couldn't help it, I read through the comments people were having about me.

I was ruining their family, Dillan clearly wasn't happy and wanted his parents together and I knew he was acting differently to me.

He may be a baby but I think he knows i'm in the way. I'm somewhere where I shouldn't be.

I sneaked into the pool at 5 since I couldn't even sleep. I stripped from my clothes and dived into the pool. I vented my annoyance and stress into swimming laps. There was nothing more therapeutic than swimming for me.

The thick water were barriers that I was trying to breakthrough.

I emerged from the water breathing heavily as i held onto the side of the pool.

I didn't want this to affect my work, I needed to be on game for my students and I can't be stressing about this and be a good coach for them.

I don't think I'm in too deep with Theo, I think I can manage calling it off and to let us both concentrate on what really matters.

Since it was 6.15 I jumped out of the pool and grabbed some clothes ready for this mornings training. I needed to assess Scott to see if he was ready for this week's match.

" Hey tina, have you seen Elle" I heard Theo say from my office. Oh shit, I really didn't want him to see me. I didn't answer his calls last night so no doubt he's wondering why.

I hope that tina makes up some lie.

" Uh, I just got in so I'm not sure" nice.

I breathed a sigh of relief.

"You're not lying to me are you" Oh shit.

I watched Tina through a small gap. She managed to keep her form and not waver even with a guy like Theo staring at her with purpose. Id melt right there.

" Hey Theo are you looking for coach" I heard Scott say walking into my office. I ducked down and hid. Scott has no remorse, he will drop me right in it without a second thought.

" Yeah, have you seen her"

I literally crossed my fingers.

" She went with bryony to the nurse's office" My eyes widened at the very clever save from Scott.

"Oh is bryony okay, I thought that was all sorted now" Oh you sweet man. Theo would know better than to go looking for me there since it must be a private matter.

This would buy me time.

" yeah im not sure, you know girls" Scott shrugged.

Since Scott lied I know that he knows im in here hiding so im guessing ill be blackmailed any minute now.

Theo ended up walking out of the office and heading down the hallway.

The door to the pool opened and Scott stood there a smirk on his lips. " Why you ignoring your man coach," he says walking in which a nervous Tina.

" You're not going to end it are you" Tina rushed out. I had already discussed this with her last night so she knows what I've been thinking about.

Scott widened his eyes. " wait what"
