Not perfect but better....No plot changes

I woke up with a bladder that was ready to burst any second. My eyes were barely open when I jumped out of bed to run to the bathroom shutting the door automatically behind me. Finishing my business I looked in the mirror to see that my hair had a mind of its own. Medusa would have been envious. Deciding a quick shower would be easier than trying to tame this mess attached to my head, I turned on the shower and jumped in. Ten minutes later I was fully awake with manageable hair. Grabbing the only towel I had in here I quickly dried my body. Using the same small towel I started to rub it through my hair as I walked back into the bedroom.

    It was there that I spotted a very shocked M1 and a semi surprised Nick standing in my room. We all kinda stood there with me in my birthday suit, M1 mouth hanging open and Nick's growing smile. M1 was the first to turn around to give me his back.

    "Fuck Mac put some damn clothes on!" He continued to curse. "Nick if you do not turn around right now I swear to you I will beat you an inch from your life!" M1 growled and shoved Nick's shoulder since he wasn't moving fast enough for him.

    Me on the other hand was shocked to see them both there but I was fine with nudity. Don't get me wrong standing in front of a room full of strangers while they gawked at me would have me uncomfortable but here in my own room with people I trust I was fine with. Wait trust? Did I trust M1. Ok that was an easy answer. Yes. Did I trust Nick? No, but I also don't think he would try anything in a sexual nature. Oh sure he would flirt and push his limits but I was pretty sure that was as far as he would go without the person's permission. For me being nakid did not mean sex, it was just freedom. Oh don't get me wrong I wasn't saying seeing an attractive naked guy in front of me would not get my engines revved because it might but it wasn't like I was going to take him right then and there.

    "You kinda have my towel." I said to M1. He raised it up as if it had miraculously popped into his hand. Without saying a word he threw it over his shoulder. Wrapping it around my body making sure everything was covered more for M1 sake than mine. "Ok, I am decent."

    Nick looked disappointed when he turned around while M1 looked annoyed. "How the hell is a towel that barely covers you classified as decent?" M1 asked.

    "Ok," I placed my hands on my hips staring at M1. "Listen. If you come in my room unannounced there is a decent chance you will see me like this or with even less on so you can do one of two things. Stop coming in my room unannounced or just deal with it because it could be a lot worse. Say for example I could train in even less clothing. Your choice." He stood there dumbfounded. "Seriously am I that gross to look at?" I was a little hurt. Not that he didn't look at me with lust in his eyes but the fact that he almost looked repulsed by the sight of me.

    "What?" His voice was shrill. "No. No. It's not that it's just your only...your Mac." He tried to explain.

    I knew what he was going to say first and it bothered me more than it should have. Sure I only thought of him like a brother but I wasn't a kid. Haven't been for a while. "Only 17? That was what you were going to say wasn't it. I am not a kid. And you know I am not innocent either.  I have not slept around but I have been with people before. My first time was at 14 then not till years later right after my dad... Just stop treating me like a kid because I can assure you the way I fuck is nothing like a kid would do!" M1 looked pale and Nick looked uncomfortable. I was appalled by what came out of my mouth but I couldn't take it back now. So the only option was to change the subject immediately.

    "Are you here to get me so we can train?" I asked turning my back and walked to my dresser so I could get some clothes.

    Someone cleared their throat but it was Nick who answered. "Actually no, we were just checking up on you since you were sleeping so long. It's 9am."

    Shit. I guess I was exhausted. "Ok then, morning run it is." I grabbed a clean set of workout gear and headed for the washroom. "I will meet you downstairs in 15 but if you have other plans I can go by myself.

    M1 finally snapped out of his stupor or shock from my little speech. "Um sure. Ok." As I walked in the washroom the bedroom door shut with a soft click.

    With my stupid pissed off speech I knew I just opened up a can of worms and I wasn't sure how to close it. With any luck the topic will never be brought up again. It was something I did not want to discuss but at the same time I wasn't sure if I was willing to lose M1 because of it. Fuck what did I just do? And what the fuck do I do now?

    By the time  I made it downstairs I was taken back at what greeted me outside, both M1 and Nick each in a pair of shorts and topless. The view was impressive. "Does he know that the next hour is a talk free hour?" I asked M1, ignoring Nick,

    He nodded. "Does she know she can ask me herself since I am standing right here?" Nick turned and asked M1. He rolled his eyes and I fought off a smirk. Not too well judging by the smile Nick gave me. Rolling my eyes I started to do my usually stretches then took off while the boys followed.

    The run was great but not enough. The usual burn that I craved just wasn't enough today. It was looking like I was going to have to increase my distance since my body was growing accustomed to what we have been doing. Turning on the gravel road, almost back home I picked up my pace. I didn't have to say anything to M1, he would clue in soon. Just like usual he caught up to me within 7 steps and passed me which had me push even harder. With each of the guys beside me they pushed me to run faster and faster till we reached the house.

    While I did my walk down in a large circle I noticed for the first time M1 was breathing a little heavier than usual. It put a smile on my face. The guys were standing together talking in soft voices so all I caught was Nick saying. "Shit she's fast." and M1 agreeing.

    They looked a little winded and I was too but I was still too restless and had way too much energy. I guess after sleeping almost 18 hours straight gave me the much needed boost I have been lacking all week. "Thanks for the run guys. I am going to go use the training room for awhile." I informed them and started to head off.

    "Mac are you sure? Don't over do yourself." M1 called after me.

    I turned and started to walk backwards. "I'm good. Have way too much energy to burn off.

    Nick's smile broadened before he pipped in with his remark. "Well if it is energy you need to burn off I can help you with that." He wiggled his brow before M1 smacked him in the back of the head.

    I laughed. It felt so good to laugh. "I just might take you up on that offer soon enough the way I have been feeling lately." I gave him a wink, turned around and jogged to the training center. As I turned I noticed they both froze. I loved catching those two off guard, it made me feel a little lighter.

    The rest of the day went smoothly. M1 and Nick even convinced me to eat dinner with all the others in the dining hall. Of course I would only do it if M1 promised me an extra training session after dinner. We both got what we wanted. See I did know how to give a little. Dinner wasn't the most comfortable situation but having Nick and M1 on either side of me helped. We didn't talk much which was nice. They were starting to come to terms that in small groups I was more open while in a larger group or with people I didn't know my guard stayed up. To be honest with myself it was nice to have Nick around today although I knew it was only temporary. As soon as his friends were around things would be different. That was the reason I didn't ask him to train with us as well that night. I figured short intervals with Nick was safest. I had one person I let in more than I had in a long time and that was more than enough.

    That night I was ready for bed. I worked my body three times harder than I had all week. My body was numb but at the same time it felt like I was floating on a cloud. It felt wonderful. After my shower I packed up my bag so it was ready for school tomorrow and climbed into bed. It was only 10pm but I wanted to try to get another good night sleep since it did wonders for my body and energy level. Thinking back on the day I felt a smile grow on my face and that was how I fell asleep. That was until the pain started.

    I woke up startled. Bolting straight up I looked around my room to see what could have possibly woken me. My chest was tight and the familiar burn was there. Fucking heartburn! I flung myself back on the bed in frustration. As I reached my arm over to grab the bottle of antacids a sharp pain stabbed me right where my heart was. Immediately after the stabbing pain the intense burn started. I felt like there was a fire burning in my chest that was trying to escape. I couldn't catch my breath. Every time I tried to take in a breath the burning just increased. Curling up in a ball with my knees against the mattress and my face buried in a pillow. Once I was able to catch a breath I was afraid I would let out a scream. Never had I ever felt anything like this. Never have I ever felt this intense kind of pain or I have felt this level of pain before.

    The seconds blurred into minutes. I didn't know how long I was curled into a ball withering in this earth shattering infernal. I was to the point that if it didn't stop I was wishing for death. Instead the next best thing happened. Without being able to breath properly black dots invaded my vision. I never thought I would have ever welcomed this in my life but right now I was. As more black took over my sight the more I begged it to hurry and take me away. With another sharp pain that I thought was going to literally rip my chest in two the curtain finally fell and I opened myself to the darkness. Accepted if freely.
