Chapter 243: Makai – Poor Ocean

~~

Makai

~~

Ocean may have appeared to be holding it together when he left the coach's office. He may have been smiling and laughing. But that was all just a façade. I could see the pain and the heartache in his eyes.

He was hiding the way that he was truly feeling from everyone else, but he couldn't hide it from me. I knew him too well. And I was far too in tune with him for me not to notice it. So, when he waved bye to me and left the pool for the library, it nearly shattered my heart.

The only thing that kept me from losing it altogether was the knowledge that he was being strong. I couldn't let this get to me if he was trying so hard not to let it get to him. He was my Ocean, he was my boyfriend, he was my fiancé, and I needed to be there for him. However, at this point in time, I had a feeling that the only way for me to be there for him was to give him silent support.
