Thanks for making this book one of my most popular (and favorite) works! Please enjoy Chapter 21 (hehe my bday is on July 21 x3)

.....and I just realized that this will probably be a sad chapter since it's based off of episode 9.....

Your POV

The day of the regionals was today. The boys all woke up with an unbreakable spark of determination, and we all wished them good luck.

"We will now begin the third heat of the men's 100m backstroke."

"Makoto-senpai!" Gou and Rei cheered as Makoto got into his starting position for his individual event.

"Ready...GO!"

"Go, go, go, go, go, Makoto!" we all yelled. "Swim, swim, swim, swim, swim, Makoto!" Makoto reached his first turn and swam back to the beginning. "Last leg, last leg, last leg, last leg!"

Bzzzzzzzzzz

"Great job!"

I looked up at the scoreboard and saw: 4th Tachibana Makoto.

"This is on a totally different level than prefecturals..." Rei said.

"That's regionals for you," Nagisa sighed.

"Makoto still did great! 4th place in regionals is awesome," I told them and they nodded in agreement. Next, it was Rin to swim for the 100m freestyle and he got 1st place!

"Onii-chan!" Gou jumped up and down screaming like a maniac. I felt happy for Rin, since he did a great job!

"Now it's Haru's turn!" Nagisa said and we all watched as the announcers shot the gun, and Haru diving into the pool. (A/N: It's really hard to explain what happened in words for what's going to happen next.....T^T Haru baby D:)

Haru dived at the pool and swam his fullest, though something was wrong. He started off with a beautiful form, but somehow he was slowing down compared to the other swimmers. Gou, Makoto, Nagisa, Rei, Ama, and I were at the edge of our seats as we saw a shocking sight. Haru just...stopped swimming...

"Let's go," Makoto got up with Nagisa and Rei as the judges disqualified Haru. I wanted to get up too, but Gou grabbed onto me.

Gou shook her head. "I think we should let the boys handle this."

"But..." I was worried about Haru, although Gou was right. Haru needed some private time. "I need to use the restroom," I mumbled and walked out of the bleachers leaving Gou giving me a concerned look.

*************************

I walked down the deep hallway, where it led to the bathroom past the noisy showers. And that's when I heard it. It sounded like a grunt, then a moan, and then a cry.

"Is someone here?" I asked and I crept into the entrance for the showers. That was probably really stupid of me, because A) It was the boy's showers, and B) Who knows who could be in there. But it sounded like a person was in pain and needed my help.

(A/N: By the way, it's those showers swimmers go to before they enter the pool. Not the kind of showers where you use to take a bath xD)

I walked in regarding the risks, and turned to the left. I saw a guy sitting on the floor clutching his shoulder, and when he lifted his head up, my whole world stopped. My eyes fogged with tears and my heart dropped to the depths of my stomach.

"SOUSUKE!" I ran and threw my body on top of his (A really stupid move by me). I clutched onto him for dear life, as he wrapped me with his left arm. "LIAR! YOU...LIAR!" I screamed and started hitting his chest with my fists. (Again, really stupid of me to do Dx)

Sousuke removed the strands of hair covering my face as I covered his wounded shoulder with my left palm. I looked at his face and saw that he was in agony. (A/N: Semi-Incest Moment...;-;)

"(y/n)..." Sousuke tried to speak, but the water pouring on us made it hard to hear. "I'm...sorry...egh." Sousuke wimped in pain, and I couldn't stand seeing him suffering.

"Sousuke....why..why did you lie to me," I cried on his chest as the water continued to drench us both. (A/N: Semi-Incest...Semi-Incest!!!)

"I didn't want you to worry," Sousuke whispered and he stroked my hair. "I also didn't want you to see me like this either." He let out a chuckle.

I slapped his chest. "You shouldn't be laughing! We have to get you to the hospital, ASAP." I got up and held out my hand. Sousuke refused and shook his head.

"I'm fine. I just need some...ice," Sousuke said and attempted to get up, but started groaning at the injury.

"You're not fine! We're leaving now!" I yelled and tried to pull Sousuke up, but he was too heavy for me. 

"Sis, I said it's all fine." 

"ONII-SAN, YOU ARE NOT FINE!"

"DON'T WORRY ABOUT ME!"

My eyes widened as Sousuke yelled at me. Sousuke...

"Just leave me alone," Sousuke grumbled and he walked out of the showers clasping his shoulder. "And don't tell anyone."

T^T Haru baby...Sousuke baby...D: Ughh, I apologize if this chapter sounds a bit crappy. It's so hard to describe all the emotions in words (probably a piece of cake for pro authors). Though I hope you guys enjoyed this chapter. Please leave a vote/comment if you did ^O^ and remember ~Free! Forever <3~
