Lexi's POV

6:30 am

*BEEP BEEP BEEP*

I rolled over and went back to sleep. Cameron sat up and turned it off.

Cam- " don't go back to sleep! Gotta get up!" he said shaking me.

Me- " No!! it's too early!"

Cam- " Volleyball time chick!" he laughed pulling me up by my arm.

I stood up, stretched and we went downstairs for breakfast. Cameron insisted that he drives me and sits in their to watch.

We ate, got ready and left.

We walked into the gym an i got mobbed!

"LEXI'S BACK!!" "LEXI WE MISSED YOU!" "WELCOME BACK!" "YOU'RE A CHAMP!!"

I got ready and went out to stretch. Emily and i warmed up and i sucked! i couldn't pass straight for shit! i started getting frustrated.

Coach L- " Line up for hitting lines!"

fuck.

i got in line last, even though theres only 3 outside hitters. there hits were so good! my turn- i messed up my approach, then hit into the net. I'm so mad at myself that i let it get this bad! I walked back to the end of the line fighting the tears.

My turn again- did my approach; better, but it still sucked and into the net again.

Coach L- " Lexi go again and think about it. Take your time!"

I went back to the ten foot line meets the out of bounce lines and lined my right foot up. i took a deep breathe and signaled i was ready. i called just a regular 5 and went. SMACK right in between 5 & the line. YES!

Everyone clapped for me. the rest of practice wasn't too terrible, i guess.

~in the car~

cam- " i didn't realize how good of a player you are!! you killed it!" he said rubbing my leg and we drove home.

me- " thanks. " i said looking out the window.

cam- " what's wrong?"

me- " it's, it's just that i stopped myself from playing for so long that i lost everything and i, i suck now. it's nothing, i'm just frustrated with myself." i said not looking at him.

cam- " girl, you were amazing for not playing for that long! quite being so hard on yourself!" he pinched my thigh.

we pulled into his driveway and went into his house. we sat down on the couch and watched tv.

me- " go do something! with your friends and not with me! you've been cooped up in my house and i want you to have fun!"

he was hesitant at first.

cam- " you sure?!"

me- " positive! now go!"

we walked out to his car and he gave me a hug before he got in. he drove off and i went up to my room to grab my volleyball. i grabbed it and filled a water bottle and headed out to the net.

i threw my ball in the sand and started for a run. i haven't ran in forever and it felt amazing! i ran about 2 miles.

i went back over to my net & with my marked lines on the sand i practice my approach, perfect it and finally nailed it again. i then went back and went through my serve and jump serve footings. i served a couple and once i finally got them over i went back up to the net to practice block, ten foot approach.

cam- " atta girl! i knew you couldn't stay away!" he yelled walking over.

me- " what time is it?"

cam- " almost 4:00pm. how long have you been out here?"

me- " uhh...since i got home. Lost track of time i guess!" i laughed.

he came up and hugged me.

cam- " i'm glad you did."

we passed the ball for a little bit then had dinner. he's mom made pizzas.
