MY OBSESSION

Chapter 4

Amara

Last night must have been the best sleep I have had in a while.

Usually I don't sleep too well because I suffer with night terrors, they usually consist of all the things I fear rolled into one nightmare.

When my mum was still with me I used to wake her up all the time with my screams and she would have to stay with me until I fell asleep again and stopped shaking.

I never really knew why I got them, i just had to deal with them on my own like everything else in my life.

I clambered out of bed and went straight downstairs to the kitchen where I made some oatmeal to start my day.

I cut up some strawberries and placed them in the bowl with my oatmeal and a spoonful of Nutella to go in it too.

I walked around my home while eating my breakfast just taking in the life that I actually live. It's very quiet. Very normal. Well as far as everyone knew.

Some may even say boring.

*buzz*

My phone started to vibrate telling me that I got a text massage.

Riley: Amara just kill me now. My head hurts too much!!!

I started laughing at the text, I knew she would go too far, she always does.

Me: I warned you Riley

Riley: I know I know I should've listened, are you as bad as me right now?

Me: Of course not, I'm not stupid, and besides I have work in a few.

Riley: God I couldn't think of anything worse than being in a gym right now :0

Me: Well it is my job Ry

Riley: I know I know the big time personal trainer, good luck gorgeous!

I simply laughed at her response and made my way up to my room to get into my gym gear and my workbag.

Today I decided on a light blue legging and sports bra set, with my long wavy hair tied up in a low pony tail to get it out of my way.

I made my way out of my house and to my gym to start training clients.

-
The gym was a lot busier than I'm used to, I had 4 clients lined up so far and a few classes I had to instruct.

I do love my job I really do.

There are so many people I've been able to motivate and help in any health problems they've had and help them in achieving their perfect body goals.

I went to my locker to put my bag away and proceeded to meet my first client.

Her name was ruby and she was 45, she told me how she hasn't been able to properly bend down because of a joint problem in her knees.

"Sweetheart having 4 kids and having to pick up for them each and everyday really does play on your muscles" she chuckles while gently patting my arm.

"I'm sure it does, now I'm gonna start you off with something moderate and easy to see what you can handle before your knees begin to hurt okay?" I ask her making sure she's okay with how I plan on training her.

"That's perfectly okay honey" she told me.

She was really really sweet. One of the best things about this job was training with some of the kindest people you'll ever meet.

After my training with ruby was done she insisted that she will be back next week for another gym session with me and only me because she liked me better than any other personal trainer in this gym.
