Saved

Chapter 36

Alex POV

"You ready to talk to her?" I ask Serv.

"Yeah. Let's do it."

I open the door to the back, "Sawyer, come here a second."

She gets up from sitting on the side of the pool and heads our way.

"What's up?" She asks.

"A couple of things baby. First, I received an email about the U-16 youth national team.."

"No way. Seriously?!" She yells.

I nod, "Apparently they've been watching you before we even met you. But we need to seriously talk about it."

"Oh. Where is the camp?" She asks.

"It's in Chicago, baby."

"How long is it for?" She asks.

"Two weeks." Serv says.

She frowns, "I can't go, can I?"

"Not necessarily baby. We have some logistics to figure out, but we're going to talk with Bree and Hannah to see what we can make work. School is out and the camp isn't until July 22nd, that's after I get back from Mexico. Which I'm not sure yet if you are coming or not. I have to work out some logistics with Maverick because we pick him up next week. Maybe pops comes with you."

She smiles, "Okay. I really want to go. And I really want to go to qualifiers, momma."

"I know. I got your expedited passport. Just have to figure out the dog."

She nods, "Okay."

Serv then speaks up, "Also, Sawyer, I have a friend who is running a surf camp, would you want to go? It's specific for girls and I think it'd be cool."

She smiles, "Yeah, definitely. I'm in."

"Can I go back outside?" She asks.

"Absolutely. Have fun baby."

I watch as she skips back towards the pool and hops in with Charlie and Kate, happiness radiating from her.

"That went over better than expected." Serv says.

"It did. Let's be glad for it." I say.

Sawyer POV - Day 1 Surf Camp

"Alright, baby. I already talked to your counselor, so they are aware that you might need some breaks and I packed you snacks and your vest is in here just in case and I'm a phone call away and I'll come get you-"

"Momma! I'll be okay. This is fun for me. I'm actually really excited. The ocean calms me. Don't worry." I chuckle.

"A momma worries, baby. I'll always worry about you. Have fun, be good. I love you."

"Love you too momma. You picking me up at 3?" I ask.

"Yep because you have Rachel."

I nod, "Okay, bye!"

"Bye, baby."

I grab my surfboard and my bag and start heading down to the beach where I see some flags.

A guy sees me and walks up, "Hey, I'm Serv's friend, Ash, what's up?"

"Hey. Ready to hit the water. I'm Sawyer."

He chuckles, "I know, Serv sent me a photo. Okay so our itinerary is over there.." he points to a whiteboard. "You're in group A with Sam, she's awesome. There's three other girls in your group."

I nod, "Cool, uh so what can I do?"

"Set your stuff done by that cone and then you can just chill."

I nod, "Nice."
