2. Memories

I wish that you would stay in my memories

But you show up today, just to ruin things

I wanna put you in the past 'cause I'm traumatized

But you're not lettin' me do that

Jenna

"I KNOW YOU DIDN'T JUST REPLY DITTO TO PAIGE BUECKERS!" Caitlin rolled laughing hard at me as I shrugged.

"DITTO!! Like oh yeah me too, you know i say it to you all the time it's like a friendly thing!" I rambled pushing Caitlin's shoulder before looking at Gabbie for help. "right Gab!"

"Sorry but we are different JJ! That's like your all time ultimate crush right there — gay panic if you ask me.." Gabbie laughed quietly, I sigh putting my head in my hands.

"You gotta be kidding me— i DONT like her, maybe i did when i was 16! But no — never — nada. that is ZA!" I groaned getting up off my head to pace around my room before stopping to look at the picture of Paige, Cait and I from the USA games. "We haven't talked in years, we are two completely different people, and she's stuck up for her own good..." I sighed before turning back to the girls.

"Jenn get ready to go! We leave for the airport in 10!" My mom yells from downstairs making my lip quiver slightly.

"hey no come here—" Caitlin says softly pulling my into her chest, her 6 foot figure towering over my 5'6 frame. "You're gonna be okay, and you know you can come home whenever you need, whenever you need us we will be here."

"She's right JJ — we are family no matter what court separates us." Gabbie smiles as a tear rolls down her cheek while she rubs my back softly.

"Hey— who knows maybe we'll see you sooner then you think— i wouldn't mind beating Uconn in March" Caitlin teases making me push her away from me, tears rolling down our cheeks.

"Way to ruin a moment Clark!" I hiccup whipping my face before reaching my hand up to whip Caitlin's tears with the pad of ky thumb. "You guys will always be my best friends." I smile trying not to break down before pulling them into a group hug.

"WAIT! We got you a gift!" Gabbie yelps making us jump before running to her back pack and pulling out a wrapped gift.

"You guys didn't—"

"It's not gucci — sorry" Caitlin winked making me throw the wrapping paper at her that i had already taken off.

"We just thought you'd want a piece of home with you." Gabbie nods looking down at the box in my hands, it was a shadow box with a picture of the team and a tapped peice of net along side next to it.

"How— what—"

"Caitlin pulled some strings.... literally" Gabbie laughed before i pulled her into a hug, "i love you you guys... i couldn't ask for more"

"Jenna!" My mom yells from the staircase as a five minute warning.

"You're gonna do great things JJ..." Caitlin smiles grabbing my hand and kissing the side of my forehead, "Make your legacy now.." Slipping a beaded bracelet into my hand I chuckle softly at the Swifty in Caitlin, you are one of a kind, it said. "Just to remind you."

"Thank you" I whisper pulling her back into one more hug before turning to Gabbie and squeezing her tight, "Can you guys help with my bags?" I chuckle.

Paige

"WE ARE LATE!" Azzi shakes me awake making me me swat her away before cuddling back into my pillow. "P Jenna

lands in 10 minutes and the airports 20 minutes away you need to get up!" Azzi yells pulling my blanket off my body, the cold air rushing to the bare skin my clothes don't cover.

"she can't just uber here?" I groan reaching for my non existent blanket before sitting up.

"Yeah let's let the poor girl who just had to pick up her entire life and move here take an Uber here— great teammates" Azzi rolls her eyes before throwing my unconn basketball shirt at me, "you have to wear those, you don't have time to change — brush your hair in the car." Azzi nods rushing out of my room grabbing her eyes, "Let's GO Paige!"

I groan getting up throwing my shirt on before looking at myself in the mirror...

"Fuck..." I sigh before looking at the picture of Jenna, Caitlin and I from the USA games that was tapped on my wall alongside other pictures.

"PAIGE!"

"COMING!"
