Saved

Chapter 55

Sawyer POV

I walk out of the doors, "FREEDOM!"

Momma looks back and chuckles at me.

"Still have to come back for a few check ups, baby."

I stop, "Yeah, but I get to come home."

She smiles and walks up to me, "Yes, baby. We're glad to have you back home. So, so glad."

We walk to the car and I hop in the front seat then feel my phone vibrate.

Emily: Hey! Heard they let you out today! Glad you're okay, Bud. The soccer team is having a get together tonight and I'm hoping you can come?

I look up at momma, "Momma? The team is having a get together tonight. Can I go?"

"I don't know Sawyer, you literally just got out of the hospital..." she sighs.

"Please? I haven't seen the team in a while. And Emily just texted me. If I feel weird or off, I'll call you to come home early!"

She stares at me, "I'll talk to pops, yeah? And then we will make a decision. I'm just worried."

"Okay."

Me: momma said she has to talk to pops. They're worried because I just got out of the hospital.

Emily: makes sense. Let me know, it's at Addison's.

Me: Okay. I'll keep you posted.

I lean my head back and sigh happily. I feel the car stop and I open my eyes to see Charlie standing at the front door holding a sign.

I chuckle and open my door then let Maverick out.

I bounce to the door and pick Charlie up and squeeze her, "Welcome home, Sawyer!"

"Thanks, Charlie! I love it."

"Love you, Sawyer!" She squeals.

I put her down and squat in front of her, "I love you Charlie."

She smiles and runs inside and I stand up.

I walk inside and into the kitchen, then see people out back and smile.

I go to take off outside but someone covers my eyes, "Hey, you."

I smile wider and pull Makena's hands off my eyes, "Hi!"

She pulls me into a hug, "I'm happy you're home."

I sigh, "Me too, so you met my whole family?"

She laughs, "I did. I kind of had to in order to be here. Your aunts are wicked protective."

My eyes widen, "I'm sorry about them. All of them. Who was it? Jeri? Jen? You already know Taylor, but she's scary too kind of-"

"They love you. I get it. You should go out there." She says.

I nod, "You're coming?"

"Yup. Just getting water." She says.

"Okay." And I open the door to go out back.

"Welcome home, kiddo!"

Alex POV

I watch as Sawyer kicks the ball with my dad, "It's like watching him and you all over again."

I turn and see my mom, "Sawyer loves it, loves the pointers he gives her and really just the attention, I think."

"Wow, really reminds me of you and him then." She chuckles.

"Whatever. Dad loves that he has another soccer player to coach." I say.

My mom smiles, "Yeah. He probably does. So we need to talk holidays, honey. And do not groan because it's September and it's going to sneak up, baby."
