Chapter 62

Narrator's pov

-

The stars were the fireworks in the velvet dark, the blaze that dared to light up the night. The cold breeze danced through the packed cars in the wide lot, goosebumps crawled against the girl's warm skin when the cold breeze of the night touched them. The moon wasn't full but it still managed to shine it's ghostly grey light onto to parking lot where the girls stood, ready to enter the venture.

"AQUAAAA" Elena squealed as she approached the girls coming out of the car

"Lennaaa" Aqua giggled and she hugged the girl tightly

"I had no idea you were gonna be here"

"Well, I wanted it to be a surprise" Aqua said as she glared at Allie who smirked
"Atleast I'm here now"

The backdoor of the building was pushed open to reveal a tall but muscular brown skinned man with furrowed brows, his eyes scanned the entire lot until it landed on the girls.

"Allie! Get your ass over here!" someone yelled, it was the red hair girl's coach

"Yes sirrr" Allie smirked, her hand patted the back of Aquamarine

"I have to go now" she said

"Good luck, we love you. Make sure you go out there and crush every single person that tries to come between you and first place" Aqua said

"I need you to go out there and give it your all, this is what you've been training for" Josie said

"This is what you've been fighting for" Elena added

"And this is what you're made for" Beverly finished, her arms hooked around her cousin as she held her in a tight hug

"We've got your back no matter what, but there's no one here that deserves this more than you do" Aqua said

"I know it's a competition, but don't get into your head out there. Don't over think, don't second guess yourself. Just be you, that's all you need. Because you are a warrior and you're ready for this. So go have some fun" Jackie said as she approached the red hair girl

"Hey" Allie smiled, her eyes seemed to soften when they landed on the dark skinned girl

"Hey tiger" Jackie smiled

"Gosh, y'all are gonna make me look like a bottom" Allie groaned as the water dropped from the rim of her eyes, she quickly wiped it away, not wanting anyone to see it

"Hey, don't hide that. You have to embrace it, you have to feel everything right now. This is your moment and you need to take it. Don't be afraid to show your pain, your nervousness, it makes you, you" Jackie said

"And right now, you've got a journey ahead of you so it's okay to let it out" Aqua said, her hand rested on the girl's shoulder

"Th-Thank you gu-guys so much. You all mean alot t-to me" Allie tried to say through deep breaths, her voice was shaky and her bottom lip quivered.

Jackie gave a small smile as she cupped the girl's cheek, using her thumb to wipe away her tears.

"We're always gonna be here whether you like it or not" Jackie whispered

"It's what you've been working for, for so many years. So much pain, anger, tears, everything went into this moment, it's how you've made it here. You're Allie Marie Hills, the best swimmer that this country has seen and no one's gonna take that spot from you" Jackie said

"I- I'm so fucking scared" Allie whispered out before going weak, her head rested against Jackie's collar and she wrapped her arms around her girlfriend in a tight hug
