Frustrating momemts

" You will have one week to complete a presentation with your partner" Those were the words that haunted me for the next five days working at Students in Prevention. During those five days, my partner Kathleen and I worked our hardest to perform a outstanding mock trial presentation for the workers who would tell us how we did, and if we were garbage or not.
Before I continue with this story, Kathleen and I have never been irritated or mad at each other before this. We would always be nice and trustworthy with one another. It was very shocking for this incident to happen to the both of us, but it did make us stronger.
We were given exactly five days to prepare for this presentation, and we spent as much time as we could on it. From the work site, to Kathleen's house, we would struggle on what we would say, and myself have stuttering problems because of stage fright. There wasn't much of a problem at all, everything was going very smoothly till the last two days before we had to present our presentations.
Since we were second to last on the list, I felt like dying because I didn't want to be put on the spot from doing something wrong even after we watched a bunch of other presentations. During the last few hours till we had to present, Kathleen and I spent our time practicing what we were going to say. Myself being stubborn and irritated, I took it out on her with being immature and saying things I didn't mean. I left the area and went to get my lunch, but then I realized I messed up by leaving my partner, and friend there.
As I walked back to the other room, all I could think of was an apology to Kathleen. I walked into the prevention room, and the first thing I noticed was Kathleen shedding tears. It hurt me to see that I did that, knowing that she was stressing herself off for me. I looked at Kayla, and she seemed to have mugged me, but I really didn't want to think otherwise. I was speechless and felt bad inside. I left and went to have my lunch in the other room. I was quiet and scared to talk to her, and when I did, she smiled at me and said " Lets just do it on the spot.". At first, I was thinking to myself, "Why is she doing this now?" but after while I finally understood because I felt a of stress relief.
When it was finally our turn to present, we both went all out on our presentations. Even though I still had my stage freight, I managed to step up and back up my partner when she needed it. After all of it, we were told that we did a great job and that our relationship with one another is unique and very strong. I was glad to hear that and knowing that just a few words from Kathleen could change everything. I'm happy to be working with her.
