I try calling Sam a million times. He ignores me. I don't know if I scared him off- or if Molly did- I don't know. But why did he come to me in the first place?
After Sam left, I sent Molly home. Things didn't feel right. I didn't want to consider Molly anymore. Maybe that will change, but at the moment I feel so fake.
I decide to head to the pool. There shouldn't be any events going on at the moment, I'm hoping I can just get some time to myself.
I swim lap after lap, feeling every stroke. My heart races and my muscles ache. I love the feeling of pushing so hard it hurts. I want to go until my body shuts down.
Eventually I feel as if I will pass out, so I push myself out of the pool and lay still on the ground.
I think about the time I brought Sam to my swim meet. How embarrassed I was afterwards to hear about his family history. But he still came. He still wanted to be there. I also think about how I promised to teach him to swim. I want to.
