Kate and Elliot started to walk passed us towards the door behind the stands. My eyes followed them wondering where they were up to.

"Where are you going?"

Kate turned around and smiled a perfect lined smile.

"I am going to meet my parents who are waiting for me outside. I will be back shortly. In the meanwhile have fun both of you", she said and winked at me.

They walked out the door behind the stands, and we were once again left alone in the gym.

"A little time for us before the whole thing starts, are you nervous?" Christians asked and kissed me softly on my cheek.

"I am super nervous Christian. It's the first time Washington State University has made it into the finale, and if we win, we're making history. My heart is beating frantically at this moment, can you feel it?" I said and took his hand to my chest.

"Ana, just breath, the most important is to do your best. For me you are already a winner and I am very proud of you", he said softly and pulled me closer to him.

"Why do you always look so beautiful in whatever you wear Anastasia?" He said impressed.

"It's because I am going to compensate with your beauty", I said and leaned in for a big kiss.

"Are your parents coming to see you?" he asked, and I brushed his hair slightly aside.

"My mother, her husband Bob and Ray are coming. She told me that she and Bob are staying at four season hotel here in Seattle for tomorrow. I wished they could have stayed longer, but she could only take one day off from work and Bob has an important business meeting to attend. I have to tell you that Jose and his girlfriend Alice are coming to see the finale as well"

Christian looked at me with a surprised expression, before he asked me.

"Do you mean Alice who works with you at the library?" I nodded

"That means I have nothing to worry about", he said and smiled a satisfied smile. I traced a finger across his lips, and kissed him.

"How was work today?" I asked.

"It's been a lot to do at work today and it's still a lot to do. But I was allowed to watch you compete by Mr. Kavanagh since he was going to be there for Kate. I am afraid that we have to get straight back to work afterwards"

"I am happy that you are here with me. I think Kate and I with the rest of the girls are going out celebrating if we win, but I am not sure, I want to come and see you instead"

"Ana, just have fun with the girls for tonight. I have a lot of things to do at work and it will definitely bore you. I will come later and meet you when I am finished", Christian said.

Abruptly, the door opened and I stood up when I saw my mother by the door, dressed in a dark blue dress with black heels. The moment she saw me a smile started to shape her face and she walked as fast as she possibly could towards me. I had always wondered how she managed to walk in heels at all, but it was one of her many talents. She embraced me in a tight hug. "I can't believe my girl is in going to compete in the finale! You have no idea how proud I am at this moment". She pulled me slightly aback and her eyes studied me from top to bottom "You look so beautiful with this uniform and so sweet with the ribbon in a ponytail. This hairstyle really suits you, and I have to admit that red and white are great colours on you". "Thank you so much mum, I am so happy that you could make it today", I said enlightened. "Of course I had to, remember that I promised you. It's not every day I see my daughter compete in competitions. I was really disappointed of myself that I couldn't see you last time and I thought to myself that this time I had to make it", my mother said enthusiastically. "How was the flight?" "What can I say; it was one hour delayed. I have never been so stressed in my entire life. It's so typical that this had to happen when something important is going to happen. Bob had to calm myself down. But the most important thing is that I am here"

I could see Bob pacing back and forth in a navy suit smiling on our way, while he was talking on the phone. My mother's eyes shifted from me to Christian. "It's great to see you again. It's been awhile since we last met". Bob came towards us and stood beside my mother. "I would like to introduce my husband Bob. Bob this is Doctor Christian Grey", Carla said. Bob reached out a hand and Christian shook it. "It's a pleasure to meet you Dr. Grey. I have heard a lot about you and I am very impressed by your work. You have accomplished a lot at a young age". "Anastasia has told me that you are a great inspiration to her. I heard that you own a company in Georgia, if I am not right". Bob looks slightly at my direction and then back to Christian "That stands correctly, I own a Finance company last time I heard", Bob said calmly.

Our eyes traveled towards the sound of the door and there were my father, Alice, Jose and his father. "Dad, it's great to see you again", I said and hugged him tightly. "It's great to see you again my girl. You have no idea how proud I am of you", he said with a kind smile on his face. "Great to see you Ana, guess what?! Everyone is so excited for tonight", Alice said. "So how is it going with the love birds?", I said, smiling a bright smile. They blushed slightly and looked at each other. "So far it's great", Jose said and kissed Alice. I looked at Christian's direction and caught his smirk. Jose walked towards Christian which was really surprisingly. "I am really sorry for what happened that night. It's nothing between me and Ana", Jose said. "Well then, you are forgiven", Christian said. "Dr. Grey, it's great to see you again and you managed to capture my daughter's heart as well", Ray said, and I noticed Christian was blushing which was really seldom, but really sweet.

Kate entered the door with her parents and Elliot. "Kate, look up", I heard a group of girls shouted to Kate. They had brought a big poster, and had written, WSU is best, no one is better. Kate gave them thumbs up. "You are so bad bitches", she shouted and they laughed at her response. "Are you thinking about bringing the whole supporter team or something?" Elliot asked. "Of course, that was the masterplan. We need to do everything we can to bring them down, that's the only way we can win", Kate said determinedly. "So typical Kate", Mr. Kavanagh said.

The gym was starting to fill with people, and I could feel the nerves were starting to blossom inside me when Kate said: "Ana, we need to go to the other girls. It's starting soon" How was Kate able to feel so calm at this moment, my feet were almost trembling of all the nerves. Elliot kissed Kate lightly "Make me proud sweetheart", he said. "You bet", she said and started to walk towards the wardrobe. I was about to follow after her, but I was stopped by someone holding me back. It was Christian "Ana, are you coming? The girls are waiting for us", Kate said loudly. "Wait for a second", I said rapidly. I was met by bright grey eyes "Good luck, honey. I know you can do it", he said and kissed me softly. "Thank you. See you afterwards", I said and he slipped my hand as I entered with Kate to the wardrobe.

After University of Seattle had performed it was our turn. My heart was beating rapidly. I couldn't believe it was all happening, just a couple of seconds I was going to perform in front of an audience with hundreds of people. These people were expecting us to win tonight and the thought of letting them down would be terrible. "Ana, it's our turn", Kate said, and I rose from the bench and walked towards the other girls. We put our hands on each other and said at the same time "Go WSU!" before we entered the gym once again. "We are so going to beat the shit out of them", Kate whispered and I nodded quickly as a response. When we entered the gym, the audience started applauding. The group from Seattle University passed past us, and the leader said "Good luck, may the best one win tonight". "Thank you, girl", Kate responded quickly. Oh Holy Fuck, I had been performing in front of a big audience before, but this time I was so nervous that my body was about to explode any minute, don't break a foot this time, Ana I prayed to myself several times. Students were shouting aloud "WSU is the best, no one is better. They will win tonight, because no one can stop them! Who is the best? W-S-U, say it one more time, W-S-U".

After we had performed, everyone was applauding. I breathed out heavily. That was it, everything went smoothly this time. Hopefully, the judges found it good enough to win, but the most important was that we did our best. Seattle University cheerleading team entered the gym and stood beside us. "Both of you have done an exceptional job this time, and we are very impressed by the chorography you have created. It has been difficult for the judges to choose the winner for this year university cheerleading championship. The winner tonight will win this golden globe. Overall, it was one group which made it slightly better, the winner is". Everyone in our group was holding hands, and I held Kate's hand tightly. "I am so fucking nervous right now", Kate whispered. "The winner is WSU!" Kate squealed and the rest of the girls hugged me tightly. I could hear the applauding audience. "This is so crazy", Kate shouted out loudly.

I smiled brightly when I saw Christian was standing and clapping. One of the judges gave the golden globe to Kate who was literally crying tears of happiness. "I don't know what to say", Kate said and the audience started laughed. She waved her hand in front of her to calm herself down. "It's been an honour to be the leader of WSU cheerleading team, and have so many talented and wonderful girls with me. We have been practicing and learned a lot this year. The support we have received from the whole WSU has been amazing, and we have wanted to make them proud of us. WSU has never won the cheerleading championship in the entire history, which has motivated us to reach the top and today we have created history. We have fought and sacrificed, even one of the members broke a foot. But the most important is that we have never given up and done our best. Seattle University was amazing tonight and it's an honour to compete with them. They deserved to win as much as we did. Tonight we are all winners, thank you so much", Kate said and the audience applauded.

"We did it girls! Let's go celebrating. I am so going to get drunk tonight", Kate said and we all laughed. I ran towards Christian who embraced me tightly and kissed me. "Congratulations sweetheart, I am so proud of you. I wish I could have stayed longer, unfortunately the job is waiting for me Ana", he said. "You are going to save the world", I said. "Something like that. You should go out with the other girls and celebrate", he said. I pulled him closer to me. "I don't want to, I want to be with you", I responded. He brushed my cheek. "Ana listen to me, I will be with you before you know it", he said and kissed me on my cheek. I nodded and he walked out with Mr. Kavanagh.

We drove back to the university and prepared for going out tonight. As we were standing in front of the mirror I was waiting for Kate to finish with the makeup. "Ana, how do I look?" she asked. "You look perfect like always", I said. "We are so going to party tonight!" she said. When we entered the club I wished we could have found a calmer place. There were crowds of people and the music was playing aloud, which made me slightly uncomfortable. I was wondering how it will all go, being surrounded with drunken people. "Kate, can we find a calmer place, I don't think it's not a great place to go partying", I said. "Ana, you are worrying too much, it's not like we are partying every day"

The girls from the team had already found a table and we sat with them. As I sank down at the sofa by the table Kate gave me a glass and poured some champagne. "Today we are the winners! Cheers", Kate said and we all sipped from our glasses. Men in suits with sleeked hair appeared to our table. "What are beautiful women doing here tonight?" they asked. Oh man, what do they want? At this moment I was feeling very uncomfortable. "We won the university cheerleading championship, so we decided to go partying. It's not every day it happens", Kate said. "That's really impressive, can we join the party?" one of the men asked. I shook my head slightly towards Kate and gave signs that it was not a good idea. "Of course", she said and they sat down with us. What the hell is Kate thinking, is she insane. I should be telling Christian, but he probably had too much to do at work. I could make an excuse that I was feeling sick. "Do you want to dance?" they asked. Kate had taken too many glasses of wine, and I could hear she was slightly drunk. "I don't think it's a good idea, some here are out of market, you know".

The men smirked. "Well, they will never know right", they said and took a glass of champagne. One of the men with copper brown hair and green eyes had been staring at me all this time which made me very uncomfortable. He reminded me so much of Christian and I had to say that I missed him dearly and wanted to be in his arms. "Excuse me, but I think I have to take some fresh air", I said, as I was walking through the crowds of people I fell a hand on my back. When I turned around I felt someone kissing me. It was the man who had been staring at me all this time. "You are so beautiful, come home with me tonight", he said a little bit drunk. "What are you doing? Get off me", I said shockingly and pushed him. I slapped him in the face and he walked away. Victoria, one of the girls at the team showed up to me. "Ana, are you alright? I saw Christian running out the club", she said and at that moment I ran out the club looking for him. I could see he was on his way to a garage nearby. "Christian, I can explain", I shouted at him, but he didn't respond. I knew that he was really angry with me, tears were running down my cheeks. He probably thinks I was cheating on him, why couldn't I listen to my instincts for once and just disappear before it all happened.

I saw the roses he had thrown to the ground by his car.

"There are no explanations for this Anastasia, I trusted you, but you were unfaithful. I thought you were someone different, but you are just like them", he shouted loudly

"Wait Christian, you need to listen, don't go from me", I sobbed, begging him to stay, but he didn't listen. He slammed the door and drove quickly away. All of a sudden it was silent, and I was left alone in the darkness, frozen like the coldest winter. Nothing has felt so empty. I fell on my knees and picked the red roses which were meant for me, but were all whistling to death. Tears were falling down my cheeks like never-ending waterfalls from my already swollen eyes. I feel someone embracing me in a tight hug, making me look up into green worried eyes. "Kate it's fucking over, he is gone from my life, and everything is my fault"

A/N: I decided to write a longer chapter this time, and I hope that you like it. It's a sad chapter, and I hope that I didn't make you cry. There are a few who wanted to be a beta reader for this story which is positive! But I don't want to choose only one to be a beta reader. You have all been part of this story so I think a group of beta readers would be great. I will announce the beta readers next week when the next chapter is coming up. For now I better go sleeping…
