Chapter 24 - CHAPTER TWENTY FOUR

HENRY

I widened my eyes in shock when I saw Susy was no longer dangling for help, she was deep in the water. My adrenaline striked and I dropped the towel to the ground. I jumped into the pool, dived into it like a fish.

I saw her completely giving up on life and her eyes were shut. She probably fainted due to the shock. I was not going to let her die because of shock, I was going to put the blame on my self like I always did. I immediately dragged her by her waist. I used my right hand to hold her waist firmly, using the other hand to swim us back to the surface.

I pulled her out of the water, rested her on the floor. Her entire body was drained with water and she was laying unconscious on the floor.

I pinned my hands together, placed it on her chest region and pressed it softly. I did it constantly, waiting for her to splash water out of her mouth. She wasn't responding either. I sucked in air, opened her mouth and blew the air into it.

I pressed her chest again and I was gentle with her. She opened her eyes and she splashed all the water on my face.

I tightened my eyes in disgust. She started coughing constantly and she sat on the floor. She squeezed her face and she finally stopped coughing. She looked at me awkwardly.

My body had not recovered from the shock and I was still feeling tensed. My entire body was literally shaking.

"What is wrong with you?!" I screamed at her and my voice was shaky, tears in my eyes. "Did you know how scared I was?!" I folded my legs on the floor, covered my face with my hand.

"Why are you being so dramatic?" She looked at me with concern and a bit confused.

"Dramatic?" I repeated her words with emotion and removed my hands from my face, looking at her. "I have told you thousands of times not to wear these high heels. You never listen!"

Our eyes were fixed at each other and the tears were packed in her eyes. They were going to drop if she said any statement.

"I will just leave." She silently said with a shaky voice.

She was about standing when I held her right hand, sitting her back. I sucked in the tears and tightened my eyes, then looked at her.

I dragged her and put her into my body. I wrapped my hand around her and I tightened my eyes again.

"I felt very scared." I spoke calmly with my voice still shaky.

I didn't bother what her expression was and cared less. What my impulses wanted was exactly what I was doing.

We stayed in that position for a while until she sneezed. I squeezed my face and released my body from her's.

"Are you okay?" I asked with a worrisome face.

She looked pale and she sneezed again. Her nose became all swollen. She only stayed in the water for a while, she couldn't get a cold all of a sudden.

"Come, let me take you to your room."

My mind was just troubled every minute. I wasn't even concentrating in the competition at all. My thought diverted to Susy every second. I took her to her room. But haven't seen her since then.

I looked at my left and right, it was my competitors. I was so used to winning, I knew I was going to win this with ease. The competition didn't even bother me, I was waiting to see Susy but she wasn't present.

I looked up at the audience seat, to see if I could see her but she wasn't present. It was just some random group of girls screaming and cheering my name. The place was mostly filled with girls but not even a single sign of Susy.

I noticed the girl that was mostly with Susy, she entered. I was waiting if I would see Susy behind her, but she wasn't there. Instead, Justin was behind her and they sat next to each other.

The competition was about to start. At my front was the swimming stand, where you place your leg before entering it. I was standing at the fourth lane. I was wearing the usually black boxer, black hair cover and my googles which I place on my head.

The referee gave us sign to take our position on the stand. I was still very worried but I managed to place the googles. I stood on the stand and my heart was vibrating. I was also confused and I didn't want to even participate in the competition.

"On your mark!" The referee called out and my heart was beating fast. I wasn't sure if I should start this competition or I should just behave very stupid and leave the competition. My brain was just so confused. "Set!" My heart skipped a beat again. "Go!" I removed my googles while the rest jumped into the pool. I went away from the stand and I had already decided, I was going to act stupid and foolish.

I had a bright smile as I was leaving the place. I could see disappoinment in everyone's face but I cared less. It felt like I was a highschool boy who was going to confess his feeling to his crush. The smile did not vanish and I left the place feeling rest assured.

I ran out and made my way to one of the corridor. The corridor was very spaceous and wide. The place had expensive golden design wallpapers and expensive art that looked plain, were designed in the walls. As I moved, I saw the decorated glass table which had beautiful flower vase on it. I ran towards the elevator happily, without wearing a shirt. I removed the hair cover from my head with excitement, threw it to the ground.

I clicked the button of the elevator impatiently. When it opened, I entered hurriedly and clicked the button of my floor. I was waiting impatiently on the elevator as the button were moving from floors to floors.

After a while, it opened. I ran out of it and it felt like her room was very far from me. I reached her door and the smile on my face could tear my face. I ranged the door bell but there was no reply. I resorted into knocking and knocked for a while. There was still no reply. I was starting to get worried. I dragged the door knob down and thankfully it was opened. I smiled happily and opened the door. I gasped and I was left in shock.
