Chapter 7: realization
The morning was gray and cloudy
The sky threatened to pour
Hilary sat through the whole morning
She hadn't slept all night
She couldn't face Tyson…
She couldn't stand him being so angry with her
So she had shut her self up in her room
Her mom was worried about her
But Hilary didn't care
Last night the bladebrakers had come to visit her
But she had escaped them somehow
She couldn't face them either
They were bound to ask her questions she had no answer to
She groaned
I can't believe I'm being so selfish
The guys need me
Today is their final match
And all I'm worried about is my feelings about Tyson
Hilary felt torn
Her throat was unusually dry
I need water she thought
Opening the door to her room she snuck in the kitchen
A loud clap of thunder made her jump
"Control ur self Hilary" she scolded herself
She open the fridge door, pulled a water bottle out and made to look for a glass when she heard someone enter
"Hilary"
It was her mom
"Mom what are u doing here?" she asked dumbly
Her mother didn't reply
Instead she smiled
"Hilary sit down"
She beckoned toward the chair
Hilary sat
She pointed at the glass in the center of the table
"Tell me what do u see?"
Hilary looked at the glass for some time
"Its half empty" she said
"That is correct" her mom gave her an odd look
"So is ur team"
Hilary looked puzzled
"What do u mean?"
Her mother sighed
"Hilary sometimes in life u have to make sacrifices, sacrifices to keep something together… ur team is void of enthusiasm that u provide…u are their cheerleader after all!
And right now ur team is half of what it used to be" she pointed to the glass
Then she took the bottle from Hilary's hands and poured more water in the glass until it was full
"Put this foolishness aside Hilary…ur team needs u"
Hilary stared at her mom for sometime
Then she smiled
"Thanx mom"
She hugged her
"Hilary I don't mean to be rude or anything…but I think the final match is about to begin"
Hilary glanced at the clock
She's right!
Hilary panicked
"Gotta go mom"
Almost knocking her mother over she tore through the door and out on the streets
Her mother steadied herself and muttered something that oddly sounded like "teenagers"
……………………………………………………………………………………………..
The bladebrakers had failed miserably
They hadn't seen Tyson all night and the morning was also devoid of the navy haired boy
Hilary had clearly refused to see them and they had given up when Hilary refused to open the door after an hour worth of knocking and hammering
Now they sat in the locker room
The finals were to start in a few minutes
And Tyson was no where to be seen
Kai leaned against a locker
Personally he wasn't worried
Even if Tyson didn't show up he had a plan
But yes it was better that he showed up
Suddenly the door banged open
And everyone jumped
Hilary paraded in
She looked tired and not to mention worn out like she had been running
"Guys" she said taking a deep breath she continued "I'm sorry I refused to meet u the other night…I-I was busy" she panted
"Relax Hilary, it doesn't matter now" said max
"Yeah we have something important to tell u"
…………………………………………………………………………………………….
Hilary was at the verge of tears at the end of their story
"So u see the whole thing was a misunderstanding"
Before Hilary could comment, the door banged open again
This time it was Tyson
He stared at all of them for sometime
Then he started to move towards the other corner of the room
Oh yes he was still the same
And the sight of kai and Hilary brought back gruesome memories to him
And anger began to pulse through his system again
"Tyson" Hilary said softly
"Bet she used the same tone when she was talking to kai that night" Tyson thought
"Tyson…I…."
But before Hilary could continue
Tyson started to scream at her
"DON'T TALK TO ME, EVER…U MEAN NOTHING TO ME AND U MEAN NOTHING TO THE TEAM U ARE NOTHING BUT A GROUPIE, A TAG ALONG…
U HAVE NO RIGHT TO SPEAK TO ME BEACAUSE U LIKE TO PLAY WITH HEARTS…….U R NOTHING BUT A BLOODY WHORE!"
Silence greeted his words
Every one turned to look at Hilary
As if in slow motion Hilary's ruby eyes filled with tears and as they began to fall she turned right around and ran out of the locker room
