For Gem, for always being there for me

Sophie:

Fuck.

Fuck.

Fuck.

It's not like she was doing anything. Just let him buy her drink. That didn't mean anything. It didn't mean she was gunna jump into bed with him did it? Just a drink. An innocent, friendly drink.

Fuuuuuuuccccckkkk.

I pushed through a crowd of giggling, ditzy girls clearly having the ( Read more... )

Sian:

I couldn't stop smiling.

The muscles in my face were beginning to ache I'd been smiling that much today, but I didn't care. How could I? I'd done it. Three gold medals. Two personal bests. One seriously pleased coach and a very interested man from the national team. Not bad for a couple of hours work.

And the bestest part?

The proud ( Read more... )

Dedicated to Gem, for giving me an awesome weekend. Again.

Sian:

Friday was hard.

I couldn’t work how to put what was going on in my head into words for Sophie. It’s like there’s so much buzzing around all of the time and I know it’s effecting me, but no matter how hard I try I can’t for the life of me formulate any kind of comprehensible sentence. ( Read more... )

For Gem, as always, just because.

Sian:

“You can have the last slice if you want,” Sophie offered, gesturing towards the now nearly empty box lying between us on the sofa.

The atmosphere had lightened significantly since the pizza had arrived, mainly due to us both being too distracted to carry on with the deep stuff. Sophie had ordered enough food ( Read more... )

Sophie:

What?

Her Mum's death? Shit. Her Mum's dead? Fucking hell. I guess this explains something then. Well it explains a lot. An awful lot. Why she was so upset that night. Why she never talks about her family. Why she won't let me in. Why she told me she didn't have anywhere else to go. Why she had sad eyes and a lily tattoo.

Not what I was ( Read more... )

For Gem, for being just generally awesome

Sian:

They let us have an hour sat with Jay. Told us we had to let him get some rest, which in true Jay fashion, he'd laughed at and joked that he'd got plenty of rest when he'd been out cold all night. I'd giggled but Sophie hadn't found it that funny and said we shouldn't be laughing about it. I think she ( Read more... )

Aaand because she'll be grumpy if not, this is dedicated to Gem

Sian:

I'd managed a couple hours ( Read more... )

Dedicated to Gem for being so demanding ;)

Sophie:

It took me a moment to engage my brain with my legs. And then another moment to decide what direction I was going to move in. Once outside the pub I leant up against the wall sucking in air and trying to calm my racing heart down.

Jay and Sian? Sian and Jay?

That was definitely Jay with Sian. No ( Read more... )

Sian:

“What are we?”

Sophie's words had haunted me all night. Okay so maybe haunted is a bit strong, but I couldn't get the whole conversation off my mind. At all. I hadn't slept a wink. Not one single measly minute. I just laid, staring at Sophie's ceiling, as she slept soundly beside me, her arm around my waist hugging me close, her head in at my ( Read more... )
