Saved

Chapter 47

Sawyer POV

"Ava! We're going to be late!" I yell from her bed.

Soph laughs, "She has no concept of time."

She walks out, "Okay, I'm ready!"

"FINALLYYYY." I stand up with Maverick and we head to the elevator.

"Do we get to go on the field?" Ava asks me.

"I'm not sure, I haven't asked my momma." I say.

The elevator doors open, "Sawyer!"

I look up and see Charlie, "Hi Charlie!"

I grab her hand and then walk over to pops. "Hi pops!"

"Hey baby. You have everything?" He asks.

"Yep! This is Ava and and this Soph. This my pops, Serv."

They wave. "Alright, let's roll!" Pops says.

We head to the stadium and walk in to find our suite.

"Whoa, food!" Ava says and takes off.

Soph and I walk to the window, laughing.

"Thanks for inviting us, Sawyer. This is cool."

I look at Soph, "Yeah for sure!"

I watch as momma runs out and looks up to find Charlie and I, we wave and make a heart with our hands. "Momma always gives us the heart, Sawyer!" Charlie says.

"Always!" I say.

I start to feel fidgety and pull one of my necklaces into my mouth, which calms me, but not enough. I stand up and walk over to pops, "Pops, walk?"

He looks at me, "Yeah baby, let's go. You want to see if we can go down to see momma?"

I nod. "Alright. Charlie, come on! You come too."

We start walking and get close enough to the pitch for momma to see us.

She runs over, "Hi babies!"

"They wanted to see you before the game." Pops says.

"Hi momma!" Charlie and I say.

She steps over a barrier, "Okay, come on, hugs, high fives, fists, and kiss. Then I gotta go."

We run through our special routine and she looks at me, "It's okay, baby." I nod.

We watch as she runs off and into the locker room. "Okay, up we go!"

We get back up to the suite and I grab some pretzels then sit and watch the game start.

The game stays scoreless through the half and I start petting Maverick.

My phone rings and I see that it's Makena and smile.

"Hey!"

"Hey, you! How are you? I'm watching the game!"

I smile, "I'm good. Hanging out in the suite."

"Who are you with?" She asks.

"Two of my teammates, this is Soph and this is Ava." I show them.

"Hey, what's up! I'm Makena. I'm, uh, Sawyer's uh. Friend." She says.

I feel my cheeks heat up. "Hey, what's happening! Don't worry, we're taking care of this one!" Ava says wrapping her arm around my neck.

Makena smiles, "Good. Someone has to take care of my girl."

"Oooooh your girl?" She looks at me.

I look down and look back up when I hear Makena's laugh.
