A New Direction.
Chapter 5
*Allie's POV*
"Alright ladies," Coach Tracy echoed, "It is the beginning of our season and we are not where we need to be."
I made eye contact with Kate. We both rolled our eyes. We were never "where we needed to be". Tracy drew on about how we needed to be practicing harder, but all I could think about was what had gone down in the locker room hours before.

After we had finnished our gruelling dryland which consisted of 25 minutes of cardio, 10 minutes of stregnth, and 5 minutes of abs, we were off to the pool. We warmed up with a 10 minute straight swim which killed. I was so tired and out of shape. After the 10 minutes were finally over, we began our first set: 5 300 IMs. I was dying. After the first 300, Tracy had asked me to clib out of the pool. I was relieved even though Tracy terrified me.
"Allie, I don't know if you know this, but this team is really counting on you this year. I need to see you trying harder in practice. You could be great. You really could. You just need to try."
I sighed, "Ok I'll try a little harder."
"Alright, get back into the water."

Finally, it was over. I was so tired as I climbed into my ford escape and sped home. I was greeted by my parents as I walked through the door. They asked me how my day was and about practice. I waddled upstairs, and checked my phone. I had a 3 frantic messages
from Kelsey.:
"CALL ME ASAP xx"
From Colleen:
"WTF!? Allie, I'm so sorry. Call me. I'm here for you
and another one from Luke:
"Babe, we need to talk."
My face dropped. It had already been a crap night. I didn't know what to do. I decided to call Kelsey, after all we had been friends the longest.
She picked up after one ring.
"A-Allie" she stuttered.
"What what's wrong?" I was so confused.
"It's Luke"
