Chapter 15
I watch on quietly as Danny's muscles flexed and stretched in the water, he was so fluid, so flexible yet strong as he swam.
His tall frame moved so fast in the water yet so captivating. I loved watching him practice alone, it gave me a sense of pride in him, to be his only audience and greatest supporter. No one was present right now, how could they? With it being early in the morning.
When he went into that water, he was unstoppable and a pleasure to watch. I never grew tired of watching him. With music playing in my earphones and having to watch him, these were the times we surely had privacy.
His muscles bulged and stretched as he finally got out of the pool, my heart beat twice as hard when he took notice of my seated frame on the benches.
Switching off my music and placing the phone on the bench, I rise to my feet and start towards him.
"How long have been here?" He asks wip

" R-Roman, what are you doing here?!" I whisper yell, walking past him to check out the door, to see ift" You still have got time, no one will notice you here, so-" " So what?" He speaks up." What do you mean so what?....Someone could find you here and you could get into trouble?! " I whisper yell, starting for the window, wanting to look for an escape route for him.I wouldn't want us to get into trouble.I'm spun around by arm before I can reach the window." Why do you care?" " What?" I ask with a frown." Why do you care because you've never shown interest in what I do before." He arches his brow." Roman....." He holds up his hand, silencing me." What are you doing Hazel Grace?" " I should be asking you the same question, you're here, more like sneaking in and wanting to get

"Come on." I'm grabbed by arm away from my locker.I can feel myself being dragged away from the locker, the letter is still in my hand yet my eyes and mind are focused on his name.I'm knocked out of my trance when I realize that I'm moving further and further away from my locker. Before I can let myself be dragged all the way to an empty classroom, I try pull my arm back but he tightens his grip on me."Let go of me!" I shout.I'm set free and I stumble back, till my back hits against a locker. He turns around to face me and hazel eyes meet my own.Something is shoved in my face, before I can say anything. I lean my head back to take a good look at it.He's holding up his own letter, with my own name written on the bottom."This doesn't mean anything to me." He says, pulling the paper away from my face.I don't say anything, but just loo

All I can do is push my legs to walk faster as I try get away before he notices me. I never thought I'd see him again after what happened that night, he played the biggest part to the humiliation, fright and life threatening I faced.He was the director of the show, from start to finish. He'd been out for revenge, but many who were present don't realize this.They believed him when he said he didn't mean any harm, but we both know he was lying through his teeth. When we were alone in the same room, I felt uncomfortable all the time and with good reason, he had known about what happened between Danny and Amber, that even though it was a misunderstanding, because of how hurt he was, he wanted them to feel how he felt, that betrayal and hurt. We never knew each other yet he targeted me for his foolish games, for some it wasn't much of a big deal but to me, it was. He toyed with my emotions and tried to make me look

I've totally given up, I'm now convinced that he won't show up.Why did I have to have him as a partner? Couldn't it be someone, who would be available at this time?Looking around me, I notice that a majority of people have received their ribbons and that only a few, still have nothing in hand. Even Sam, who's partner surprisingly is a friend of Hailey's, has got a ribbon.I was surely surprised when he rose to his feet when he was called, and she was by his side. I was curious as to why he didn't tell me. Did he think I wouldn't be interested or what?I would ask him once we were alone.Speaking of Sam, he glances at me once again to check, and like the other times, I shake my head no. Opening my mouth to say something to him, his eyes move behind me where they widen a fraction, before a smirk comes onto his face.He looks back at me and gestures for me to

I might have only sat once on a bike but I've never travelled on it. I've had to hold on to Roman and try keep calm as we both travelled to where we needed to be.I wasn't thrilled about my plans being interrupted, but I knew what I needed to do and the faster time went, the sooner I could return to Danny and we could enjoy our first night away.I still couldn't believe that Roman showed up like that, as if he knew the perfect time to interrupt us. He is so demanding it annoys the heck out of me.If this partnership were to even work, I had to put my foot down and not let him put me in a corner and leave me with no choice, like he did back at the Academy. The thing with Roman is that he's always been demanding, growing up. Thinking back now, I used to tolerate it but not anymore, we are grown now.We finally arrive at our destination and before I can have a look, we are let through a gate and led to a s

"I asked you for a simple thing, but you couldn't do it, could you Roman?!" I whisper yell, dragging out a half asleep Roman by arm, out of Rosy's room."It's not my fault you resisted when I tried waking you up." He shrugs, rubbing at his eyes."Don't you dare lie, you didn't do such a thing. You just had to keep me here a little longer." I point at his chest."And why would I do that, it's not like I enjoy your company so much that I'd want you to stay any longer." He throws at me.Ouch.I have to take a few seconds to recover from what he's just said. I don't know why that kinda stung."Well if you wanted me nowhere near you so much, why did you even go further with this partnership?" I ask." I couldn't stand to know you'd be some idiot's partner, who knows what they could have been thinking around you or worse, done." He says in disgust.

The tension is so thick that you could probably cut it with a knife. We've all remained in the same position for a minute or so now and all I want to do is disappear from here.I've long fixed myself now, not liking the secret emotion that passed in his eyes when he had a good look at me. " I asked you a question, what the fu-" "Have some respect and wear a damn shirt, there's a lady present." Roman bites out.My cheeks and neck warm up after Roman says this.An inaudible gasp escapes my lips when I'm pulled flush against Danny's chest."Oh you mean this lady?" He says, his breath warming my ear. "You seem to forget that she's my girlfriend. My girl." He puts emphasises on the last word, burying his head in the crook of my neck.Instead of feeling the familiar good feeling whenever I'm in Danny's arms, my body instead, grows tense and uneasy as Roman'

I cant imagine running into him again, I'll feel much worse. It's better I try feel better now before I see him again.It's both amazing and annoying how much Roman, can still have an effect on me.
