The Move // h.g.

Acception

addie

A week has passed since the Team U.S.A. tryouts and I couldn't be more excited. My letter was now in my hand, fresh out of the mail.

"Open it for me." I handed it to Brooke, to excited to open it myself.

She chuckled and took it from my hand, starting to open it while I wait in anticipation. Her smile grew wider as I screamed, tackling her in a hug.

"I got on." my smile was big.

"I'm so happy for you." my eyes trailed over the crisp piece of paper, reading over the words.

I stopped, my eyes widening at the sentence, rereading it over and over again. 'Practices will be all next summer and scattered weeks of the next months in Florida. More will be shared as the time passes.'

"What?" Brooke's face turned to confusion.

"I won't be here next summer. And I'll have to travel back and forth from here to Florida."

"Oh babe, we could always visit and at least you won't be in Cali like you were last week." her attitude made me feel better about the whole situation.

"How do I tell Hayes? I mean, he couldn't stand it when I was gone for a weekend." I giggled slightly at the thought.

I had only been gone for two days, and when I got off the plane, my feet were off of the ground once more as his arms wrapped around my waist tightly, telling me I was gone for too long.

"He'd understand. I mean, if he were to be gone for football, you'd understand. This is your passion." I nodded in agreement.

I'm just hoping he'll take it well.

"Oh my gosh, baby, I'm so proud of you!" his reaction slightly surprised me when I let him read the letter.

"Thank you." I smiled into his shoulder, hugging him tightly.

The rest of that afternoon was spent at the park with Cali, talking about our different plans for the next months to come.

Wanting to spend more time with Hayes, I called my mom to ask if he could sleep over tonight. Reluctantly, she said yes, telling us not to do anything bad as she will be out at a dinner.

"Let's go back to mine." my small hand was engulfed into Hayes' larger one while the other was occupied by Cali's leash.

"I'm proud of you baby girl." Hayes has said this so many times in the past few hours we've been together. Each time I blush, my excitement bubbling.

I had been training for months trying to perfect all the tumbling and have done more conditioning than I have done since we first moved. Work really does pay off.

Finally, we ended up at my house, Lillie and Lydia were, sadly, sitting on the couch when we walked in. "Why are you here?" Lillie's hard stare focused on Hayes while Lydia sat on her phone, not paying any attention to us.

"I invited him. Back off." Cali had already trailed up the stairs when Hayes and I got up there, awing at her furry-self lying at the end of my bed, snuggling with her beloved penguin.

Immediately after we both changed, Hayes pulled me into his chest as we stood in the middle of my room in each other's embrace. I sighed, thinking about how much I will miss him. My grasp on him became tighter, not wanting to let him go.

"Let's go to bed baby." his soothing voice sent chills down my back as we both climbed into my bed.

"You're my life, I hope you know that." By now it was two in the morning, Hayes and I have been talking this entire time.

"I do. You mean the world to me." my heart swells every time we have these types of conversation.

Hayes' hand trailed through my hair, softly tugging each time he gets to the end. I felt all giddily inside as I snuggles closer to him, yawning ever-so-quietly.

"Go to bed." both of his arms started to trail around my body. "I don't want to. I want to talk my love." My eyes may have seemed tired, but my heart was pumping and I felt wide awake.

"Okay. What do you want to talk about?" "Where do you want to go to college?"

"To be honest, I've already gotten recommended by some recruiters for college in California and Texas. I'm waiting for the right one though." I nodded against his chest. "Where are you wanting to go?"

"I've always wanted to go to UCLA. My old coach back in Florida said he would talk to them when we were in L.A. for a competition one weekend. They told me they would think about it."

Ever since I was little I had always wanted to go to college in California. It was my dream place to live.

"Hopefully Cali is still going to consider me during senior year." he squeezed my shoulder and I giggled.

"Do you think we'll be together for awhile?" I asked quietly into the darkness surrounding us.

"To be honest, when I first saw you I thought you were gorgeous but way too hard headed," Hayes paused to chuckle then started back up. "but I've never felt this way about anyone before. It may seem cheesy and I know we are young, but I really do love you. I can picture our life together like I'm Picasso working on a piece of art or something."

"Everything about you is just so different and you have that flare to you that no one else has to them. You're a bird, you soar whichever way you want to go, and you don't stop. I love that so much about you. I just love you."

The simple words, "And I just love you." came out of my mouth after that because by the time he finished I couldn't think of anything to say. He makes me tongue twisted.

I'm so infatuated with him.

'Babysitting Skylynn' has now turned into 'Love Heals All', and has been modified to a better form than it was before.
