Being as I was related to the Olympic gold medalist, I was now being dragged out of our room by kari practically yelling at me that we were going to be late for the Medal ceremonies. Not good.

ཁBut kari the ceremony isn't until another hour and a half.ཁ

ཁWe have to be there early for the rerun.ཁ Jesse said half way down the hall, while holding the elevator.

ཁShaun how long is the drive to the plaza?ཁ I asked having a hard time keeping my eyes open.

ཁ3o minutes, I thinkཁ shaun replied, everyone waiting for the doors to open to the lobby.

ཁAm I allowed to sleep on the ride there?ཁ

ཁ Why in god's name would you want to sleep after a hour nap?ཁ Noticing the finger being pointed at my face was Kari's. There was no way i was explaining why i was so tired, why i had bad mood phases and why I was always fatigued. Nope, they would for sure disown me as a cousin with all the drama I contributed to their lives.

ཁTime differences, guysཀ Duuhh.ཁ flipping my hand out at the end, resembling a Barbie.

Finally the door opened to the elevator and a nice size limo was waiting outside the lobby. Drive was 30 minutes and I had managed to make it all the way without letting my lids fall.

The plaza was very large and already had athletes and spectators filling.

ཁShaun, we have to head to the back to check in.ཁ manager mode kicked in with jesse.

ཁJust like always.ཁ Shaun replied while rubbing his head, a sign of nervousness.ཁ

ཁWhat are you nervous about?ཁ

ཁWhat... huh..who... Cara, I never said anything about being nervous.ཁ someone was deep in thought.

ཁDon't let me distract you from signing in Mr.white.ཁ we had reached the back of the plaza located on a hill. In the back of the plaza was a cleared out green hill surrounded by scattered villa's.

ཁActually Mr. White, the practice won't be till 10 of due too the conditions.ཁ The young man had a very harsh Italian accent making it hard to understand him; which sent jesse and kari chocking on their laughter.

ཁHey man, call me shaun. Mr. White sounds too old for my liking.ཁ sticking out his hand for a shake. The man walked away after a few minutes of instructing shaun to be back a little bit before 5:50. Practice would begin at exactly 5:50, followed by the televised medal ceremony at 6:00.

ཁGuys, I'm going to be up the hill taking some pictures. Is that okay?ཁ a simultaneous yes was heard and I headed up the slight slope taking out my cybershot.

Looking up at the small stars appearing in the sky and looking out at the city made all the problems and disgusting fade away.

Taking a few more shots for memory sake;

ཁYour looking good tonight.ཁ startled by a strange voice, spun around to find Travis eyeing me up and down with hungry eyes.

ཁDon't you dare think you can be friendly, with what you did to me.ཁ my fear of travis had slowly melted but would come into play if travis inched near me.

ཁOh come on you liked.ཁ travis moved a few feet closer to my body. At least there was help if I needed it.

ཁWhich part did I like travis. You Fucking punching my face in, or you attacking me. That's a hard decision, can I get back to you.ཁ Getting right into Travis's face and turned my back and started down the hill. When I was grabbed and squeezed into Travis's chest.

ཁStop touching me, I hate you , get out of my fucking life. You Pervertཀཁ I was yanked out of his grip by a friendly face.

ཁWhat the hell are you trying to do. Why don't you try to take advantage of someone your own age, Not my fucking cousin.ཁ Jesse shouted into Travis's face. I was never informed why there was a hatred toward each other; my guess business oriented.

ཁHow can you say I was taking advantage of b her /b . She is 20 and i guess you didn't notice that she was all over me.ཁ

ཁ First off I'm sixteen and secondly i would never go near you for my life.ཁ Fuming i tried to get to where travis was but was pulled back by shaun and held tightly. I kept thinking why did i come here, i cause to much chaos.

ཁWhat going on with travis and you.ཁ shaun whispered into my ear. Letting go of Shaun's side i looked up resisting the chance to cry.

ཁHe is a perverted, 24 year old man, that I hate.ཁ all that was received was a head nod from shaun untill jesse was yelling at travis with his fist in the air.

ཁJesse, stopཀཁ i don't know why i stopped jesse from punching him, but i wanted to knock the shit out of him.

ཁ Thanks for saving me.ཁ travis started to pull me into a hug.

ཁDon't baby me, if you try to put a move on me it's illegal.ཁ and with that kicked travis in the sweet spot. But that didn't satisfy my anger;

ཁ you ruined my life, I hope you know that your out of it's life.ཁ As travis fell to the ground I kicked him in the legs and side, hearing oh and Ahh's coming from whoever was behind me it was a huge blur.

ཁGet up if your so tough.ཁ he slowly sat up and was sitting on the floor.

ཁI didn't think so, your weak.ཁ And with all my might struck him right in the jaw. Pain soaring form my knuckles.

ཁTravis. Because no one would sleep with you, you had to rape me. You had to and yet your drunken foolishness casued myself to get pregnant.ཁ Crying and screaming at the same time realized that I had gotten so worked up that i had spilt the pregnancy issue.

ཁYour-rr, your pregnant with hi-ss child.ཁ

Jesse pointed to the clump on the hill and shook his head.

ཁYes, i know i'v brought chaos to your lives but i wasn't planning on telling you guys this way.ཁ

ཁ Holy crapshit, he took advantage of you.ཁ kari yelled

ཁwell more than that.ཁ

ཁCara you cause me stress.ཁ shaun paused and i felt myself getting embarrassed and cry more.

ཁNot in the bad way, the way where i can never figure out what going on. So even if this wasn't the way you planned on mentioning this dilema. One last thing to say, are you hiding anything else.

ཁNot anymore shaun.ཁ

ཁYou sure?ཁ

ཁMmhmmཁ

ཁThen come here.ཁ I walked down to where shaun was standing and hugged the Olympic gold medalist which happened to be my cousin.

ཁWhat ever you do, I'll help you through it, promise.ཁ

ཁI know shaun, I know you will.ཁ

And there I stood rewinding the words shaun had spoken earlier. Only this time he wasn't there, no one was there. Shaun had gone to practice and I was left alone with my thoughts.
