Chapter twenty-five - self-defence lessons
My annoying alarm clock kept on blurting out loud throughout the whole house so, I decided that It would have been no use in me ignoring it was clear to me that maybe if I shut it off with a quick thump as I tried to place it back on my nightstand table feeling disoriented not looking where I placed it as the alarm clock accidentally fell off the table and bounce on the floor of the side of my bed before it must have broken too.
There was this feeling on the back of my mind like I must have been forgotten about some important events was on my schedule for me today not knowing whether I should just continue to go back to sleep or wake up to get dressed for it, but then I realised that I did indeed have something plan for today around eleven-thirty am not being sure what the time was I quickly get out of bed to check the time on my phone and after that, I was heading into my bathroom to take a quick shower soon getting out to get dressed in clothes to be ready on time wearing light makeup on my face only to highlight my features.
My phone rang out loud to Penelope calling it as I picked up my phone to answer it. My best friend was asking me a bunch of questions.
"Hey, I was wondering if you might want to consider meeting up to get there early or do want to go carpooling with me?" asked Penelope.
No answer from me just yet.
Penelope continued talking, ensuring me that I will be safe with all of us inside of her car"Trust me, nothing will happen to you in my car and carpooling we are going to sing to help distract you from your fears of being in a car".
I could hear Cynthia and Ambrose arguing in the background of her phone calls to me about which music should be playing in the car whereas, Tilly was just telling them to take turns to solve their argument problem as I was listening to Penelope trying her hardest to make me feel like I was safe riding in a car with them. I waited for a few minutes for them to quiet down to respond to Penelope's question. "I would like to give it a shot in the dark and be spontaneous to do something out of my comfort zone by getting in a car alongside the three of you girls and a police officer".
An exhale sighed and then I grabbed all of my stuff like my gym bag which contains a massive litre of a water bottle, washed mixed up fruit in a lunch box with KitKat bars to be a little bit on the health side even though I was slightly addicted to chocolate regardless of that I walked out of my house locking the door heading towards the car to open the door handle since everyone else was in the car. I entered the car to join them inside it as Penelope was driving the car. We started to have a great karaoke session in the car to help me control my anxiety attacks as well as play songs from the Nineties up to this year.
Penelope parked her car safely in the car park "see you have absolutely nothing to worry about and Ambrose you better tell my brother Layton to try these techniques with Lana once everything is sorted out".
Ambrose looked up at Penelope also noted what she told him in his notes on his phone giving her a quick head nod as he makes his way into the gym we are following him from behind therefore, we all looked around the place noticed that there were only a couple of people here so it was not as crowded as I thought it would be in the gym.
As I continue to look around the rest of the gym placing our stuff into our lockers in the locker room soon before joining Ambrose back in the main gym area of the room answering a bunch of other questions talking to a couple of other trainers in here whilst I was doing my stretches prepared myself for a while, furthermore, I was tying my hair back sitting in the bench minding my own business taking a sip of water when he called all of us to listen and learn what the instructor was teaching us.
"I am going to tell your brother during your break about the new ideas" Ambrose paused for a millisecond to think about what to say next then he spoke up again "today the instructor is going to show you all a couple of defence moves from the next few weeks you will all be slowly gradually moving up to fight skills too".
After a few minutes of watching both instructors demonstrate moves to us by the other person blocking the moves to shield themselves as well as some of us girls who wanted to participate in the action ourselves being more of a visual learner than a practical one. I was more than confident that one of us girls will win against the instructors as we decided to take them which was a fun experience even Cynthia also won the first match against instructor Jackson.
Furthermore, I think this was the first time that I enjoyed myself without having to worry about him constantly being in danger of losing him and feeling like another anxiety attack was about to occur at any minute now, even though the self-defence lessons felt so empowering to me to do this for the both of us can help us benefit from being prepared too.
"Do you guys want to take a break from here on out or do more training exercises before going home?" asked one of the dark brown hair instructions Peta.
For half an hour we were continuing to learn more moves by the time we had learned six or seven moves we all felt burnt out of energy until we are finishing up our lessons to then go back to the locker room to soon leave the gym to go to home and order in a take out by a names of a type of restaurant out of a hat. "Yes, and after that, we are going to go home too".
What are the thoughts or dreams that we dared not to tell ourselves at night when we are alone but together in some ways and does it seem unfamiliar with the promises that we were meant to keep until we die will it be buried in our grave too?
The merest thought of being happy without giving up on that one foundation of hope was all I got to keep motivating me to stay positive every single day he was not right there by my side to comfort me so I guess I will keep waiting for those brighter days that he kept promising to me whenever life gets tough that I should keep fighting ten times harder than ever before to be able to overcome the silence which speaks louder than words can describe to me because at the end of the day everything may seem bleak, regardless of which ways the storm may go. It doesn't matter if you run out of ideas or a place where you are just as long as you outrun the storm by fighting for who are and what you believe in.
"Ambrose, get your butt over here right now and take a picture of my best friend then sent it to my brother immediately after that, "commanded Penelope.
Slowly striding towards us to take a picture of me in my gym gears to send this photo to him to show him what I was doing today as well as how incredibly amazing I look in my outfit then he would send a picture of what he was doing now including a message saying that he misses me a lot more than I missed him, however, he has to get back to working on this case with Sergeant Terry because there has found a way to catch the criminals who are after us. I wasn't sure how long the constant fear of being in danger has made me look over my shoulder nearly every day of my life to be prepared for the worst-case scenario for all of us was something awful happening to one of us.
During our drive home to my house where my mum keeps a long list of different types of restaurants menu Mexican restaurants to be ordering spicy tacos, veterans ones and meat lover ones meanwhile, watching Tally dance routine on camera on a tape recorder on the tv as our song came up I smiled to myself to make our love more remarkable and memorable moments that will go down throughout the history of us to show how much it worth fighting for no matter the costs of being apart from each other by this giant barrier around it was surrounding us.
"I'm so sorry if watching me dance to you a shim song with someone else make you feel -"
"No, it doesn't matter that you were dancing to him and I Favourite song because you help me realise that I will risk my own life for him, " I Interjected to Tally.
All I need is a great plan to get involved with the current case of getting a couple of those delinquents who have escaped from prison for one purpose only to go after my boyfriend and me to get revenge against him for being a mole in the system by reporting everything that happens between the inmates and him when the camera was not on them, in addition, to be able to reduce his prison sentence in there which sounds like an amazing offer at the time to him, hence why all of this was occurring in our lives right now also the possibility that he will have to work with the police department to help them solve cases where he worked undercover as many different types of workers in the industry.
Hopefully, this will all be over as shortly as possible after we have sorted out a trap in a plan to use for capturing every single one of the criminals who have been lurking around the street at night dressed in informal clothing to try to blend in with the crowd.
