Dolphin Tale: Through our son's eyes

Chapter 16

Alright so picking up where we last leave off, Shawl is now attempting to get everyone in his group to work together and be a team, so that's how he's organising a dolphin show with them. Also I plan to include a lot more with Sawyer and Hazel and Abigail in this chapter. Hopefully I'll be able for that. Regardless though I hope you're enjoying the story and the chapters as they go along.

The next day at the aquarium Shawl was preparing Winter's pool for the day as an early start before his rookies got up. Hope the Dolphin swam by splashing him in the face. He chuckled to himself as he got a towel and dried the water off of his face before going back to cleaning the poolside. "You okay son?" a voice asked behind him. Shawl turned around to see Sawyer standing there. "Oh yeah dad I'm fine." Shawl said. Sawyer then sat down next to Shawl and spoke again saying "I heard something had happened the other day. Two girls in your group got into some kind of fight or something did they?" he asked. "Yeah." Shawl replied. "Apparently fighting about me." "Why you?" Sawyer asked. "Well I admit to being quite the ladies' man. And all the water sports I enjoy doing and everything has made me into a heartthrob. But I didn't think I'd go as far as to have girls fighting over me." Shawl said with a hint of guilt in his eyes. "Who got into a fight?" Sawyer asked. "Sarah, and Hazel the girl I met in Miami." Shawl replied. "Both girls like really like me." Shawl said. "You know something son, you can't just decide on a girl based on who likes you. Your friendship with each of them is more important than having to choose which girl to be with." Sawyer said to his son giving him a pat on the back. "Yeah I know. Just the fight that happened yesterday is what's kinda making me feel bad. What if it happens again like?" Shawl said looking as if he was about to cry. "Well it looks like you're having a bit of a situation to deal with here. If anything happens again, then you just tell me or your mother. How about that?" Sawyer decided. "Yeah that's not bad. Thanks dad" Shawl smiled.

Later that day Shawl observed his friends as they were cleaning a large pool. It had definitely needed cleaning. He then went in and offered some help. Hazel the girl from Miami came up to him. "Can you help me with something?" she asked. "Sure okay what do you need?" Shawl said as he walked over. Nearby Sarah was starting to feel slightly jealous. She looked over trying to keep cool as she saw Shawl assisting to Hazel. She got slightly jealous and turned away when Shawl held his hand out to help as well. Bailey, one of the rookies who was from Australia, noticed her face. "What's wrong with you? You seem angry about something." He said. Sarah didn't know what to say.

The next day.

Shawl was in the staff room on his phone when his mother walked over and sat next him. "Dad told me all those stuff you discussed the other day." Hazel said taking his gaze away from his phone. "Oh really?" Shawl asked. "Yes. Seems as if it's speed dating for you too." Hazel said. "I know. Plus after that one fight I think there could be a lot more and I don't know what to do anymore mom. I know all about girls, like I'm attractive at 12 years old and Sarah and Hazel both fell in love with me at first sight. So I'm not sure what to do." Shawl said looking nervous. Hazel thought for a minute and then said "You know what. You should think of the best thing you can say to both girls. And then go up and say it to them.' "Oh seems like a nice idea. Thanks mom. I'll do that now." Shawl said as he got up and left the room.

However.

Sarah was sitting by herself when she was approached by Hazel and group of girls she had made friends with. Sarah looked up. "Well don't just look at me like that. Say something!" Hazel frowned. "Well what am I supposed to say?" Sarah asked. "That you're an ugly little attention seeker want to steal Shawl from me perhaps?" Hazel asked gaining sniggering from the other girls. "THAT'S IT! I'VE HAD ENOUGH OF YOU, LITTLE BITCH! GO FIND YOUR OWN MAN!' She screamed finally snapping. Standing up, she pushed Hazel hard onto the ground. Here's where all the others start running over. "Excuse me?! How dare you said those things to my face and actually have the nerve to push me down! You're the little bitch here." Hazel shouted getting up and doing something to Sarah that Shawl just so happened to witness from the distance. "What the?" he yelled as he ran over. Sarah, now with blood all over her nose literally lunged herself at Hazel sending them both to the ground punching and slapping each other. People were chanting "FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT!"

Shawl ran over and pushed his way through the crowd to get a better view of what was going on. Hazel grabbed a hold of Sarah's hair and yanked it super hard, causing her to yell out in agony. Eventually she began getting weaker and weaker….

"Sarah!" Shawl yelled as he pushed past the rookies and knelt down beside Sarah who now lay unconscious on the ground. Hazel didn't stop there. She kept kicking Sarah. This made Shawl get increasingly angry. He looked up at her and then said "Stop!" He then turned to the others saying "I think ye should all go and keep eating your lunch. I'll get back to ye later." Once the crowd was dispersed, even Hazel, Shawl grabbed Sarah's head and rested it on his lap. She was indeed out cold. Shawl was literally holding back tears as he noticed a huge clump taken out of the side of Sarah's hair. "What's going on here?!" Shawl said to himself. "What will I do to try and get this to stop?" He said to himself.

And that's that for this chapter! Keep Reading and Reviewing! I know that was a bit dark but hey I'm quite the master of suspense! See ya!
