Melissa's pov:

My brother finally speaks after wiping my still dry cheek with the pad of his thumb for a few moments. He tells me I shouldn't feel.ashamed for my feelings, nor should I feel like I need to put on a brave face in front of him. He encourages me to let it out saying he'll be there for me; even pushing so far as to offer the privacy of his room.

"Thanks." I begin slowly with a heavy sigh. "I mean I WAS fine being single...That is until I saw you with Enid and saw how happy you two were. Don't get me wrong I'm happy for you and Enid but it made me remember all the good times I had whi!e I was with Shawn. And reminded me how lonely being single really is." I finished taking a deep shaky breath.

With that I closed my eyes and felt two thick, hot tears, one from the middle of each cheek escape my eyes and start running down my cheeks, burning my already hot skin as they went.

Tristan's POV:

I begin to feel sad for Melissa, I see her closing her eyes, pushing huge, sparkling tears down the middle of her cheeks, comfort mode takes over me, I instinctively reach her cheek, kissing both tears from the middle of her cheeks, softly brushing the back of my fingers from below her eyes until where the tears were kissed, only to be replaced by another pair of tears.

I hold her shoulders as I softly confide in her: "A few months back my heart was also broken, and my reaction had more consequences than yours, that was the reason I left college, I felt like I didn't want to live anymore, not without Laura, I even went to an Abbey, to get away from the world, the spiritual director is extremely good and has a lot of virtues, he made me see my motive to become a monk was not a good one and I wouldn't be happy there, that's when I met Enid, at the gym. She fell in love with me, I fell in love with her, and here we are. Don't get discouraged, it's ok to feel, but life will definitely get better for you".

 

Melissa's pov:

I was so busy focusing on my growing sadness and the feeling of my hot tears burning my cheeks as they rolled I barely felt my brother as he leaned over and kissed both of my still flowing tears. One from the middle of my left eye, one from the middle of my right. I then felt him using the backs of his fingers to brush the tear streaks from just below my eyes to the middle of my cheeks away.  With this gesture I couldn't contain it and I felt another pair of tears start rolling down my cheeks replacing where the last ones were. This time, however I didn't try to suppress them. I let them flow freely knowing my brother would take care of them.

This time, however he just grabs my shoulders and tells me about his most recent experience with heartbreak to show me I wasn't alone and that it'd get better. He told me about his break up with Laura; and how he quit college and tried to join an Abbey to become a monk. He then told me how he met Enid at the gym; and how they fell in love.

"I know." I whisper with a little sniffle."I mean it's been almost a yr and I've already grieved at the loss of our relationship when it first happened, but we were together for 3 yrs and that's a long time." I continued taking a shaky breath. "I really was over it for the last few months. I don't know why seeing you and Enid so happy together brought back a rush of unhappy feelings for me." I finished Slowly trying to control my breathing as I didn't want to break out into full on sobs as I knew how much my brother wanted to talk me through this.

It was finally my turn. William told me to put my left hand on red. I had to stretch my left hand over my right foot to place it on red. I could really feel my abs getting a work our with this move. I was getting a bit curious as to why everyone was getting such hard moves as it was only their first turn.

I snapped out of my thoughts when I remembered it was my turn to move Anna.  I choose "Right hand red" all she had to do was crouch down and place her hand next to her. I didn't want her to feel embarrassed if she was the one to fall first again.

I put William in an uncomfortable position, seeing how the girls are trying to end this soon: "Left foot blue". He crouches and stretches to reach the blue circle next to Camilla's left hand and next to my right hand, practically bumping on both of our stretched arms, leaning on Camilla's arm to counter his weight better.

Anna's pov:

After seeing Jarrod move William it didn't look like the game was going to continue much longer as he had to crouch and stretch to reach his circle, bumping into both Camilla and I on his way only catching himself by leaning on Camilla's arm.

It was finally my turn to move Jarrod. " Ok Jarrod, right foot green" I say quickly as I watched him gingerly stretch his right foot one space further right using all the muscles in his abs to keep himself stable  as his center of gravity was sightly further forward so his right hand could cross himself and reach the red circle on his left side. As he finished moving his foot I saw his body sway slightly forward and slowly snap back with the pressure he was exerting in his abs.
