The Line Below

Water. The place where I feel at peace. Free from the expectations. Away from the judgement. Weightless from the obligations. When I slip under the cool surface, Im no longer sinking from the demands of family, school and the choices that I must make. Chase my dream of the Olympics or follow the expected career path? What will it be? Im not usually one to rock the boat - that's my twin sisters role. I find myself in uncharted territory when I meet Jett Decker on my twenty-first birthday. It's not like me to get swept off my feet, but when I do, it creates waves with those closest to us. Chemistry ignites, jealousy spikes and tension builds the more we're together. Sometimes in real life the lines between what is wanted and what must be done get blurred. Not everything is crystal clear, like the line below.
