caitlin's pov.

i feel the tears rushed down my face as the call ends. maybe i shouldn't have called her, but i wanted to. i hold my head in my hands as the tears fall from my eyes. i really do not have any idea what do to. i hear a light knock at the door, before kate walks in. she gives me a light smile, holding some candy and a coke. "hi caity cat." she whispers, knowing exactly what the call was about. i had spilled my guts to emma and kate, telling them how bad i missed y/n, and they told me to call her especially with the game coming up. "hi kate." i mumble, getting up from my bed. i look at her teary-eyed, before falling into her embrace. she holds me tightly as i let out sobs. "why is this so hard?" i whisper, feeling her hands in my hair, "it's because you care." she says, pulling me to face her. she wipes my tears before handing me my kit-kat. "yes, too much." i groan, opening my candy before scarfing it down. "what happened exactly? what did she say?" kate guides me to my bed, letting me lay in her lap. "she said she would see me, but she was crying." i look up blankly at the ceiling, letting kate play with my hair. "well, it was definitely difficult for the both of you. she probably wasn't expecting the call." i feel my eyes swell up again, i had never missed someone so much. "i just hope it turns into something. i wish y/n could understand how much we would see each other. i'd do everything i can to be with her." i mumble, feeling kate wipe my tears once again. "i know caitlin. she knows deep down, but you have to make her realize." 

paige's pov.

coach had just finished practice, letting us know the details for the cookout on monday. i was honestly excited for something like this. school had been tough, and i think i was finally ready for y/n and i to take the next step, and become official. i walk with azzi to the locker room, we had planned on going out tonight. "so, y/n?" she asks, her voice low. azzi was my bestfriend, she knew me better then anyone. i trusted her enough to tell her this, and her knowing to be secretive showed me why. "yeah, y/n." i scratch the back of my neck, a big grin on my face. "please, explain. i need to know everything." she exclaims, azzi had always wanted me to be happy, and i think she saw i was. "well, we've been hanging out all the time, and i think i might want to ask her out, like actually." i smile, thinking of myself as a girlfriend. i honestly had never been in a serious relationship, but if i was, i'd want it to be her. "i'm so happy i could cry." she smiles, pulling me into a hug. "me too, Z." i squeeze her tightly, before hearing geno's voice behind us. "see you monday, girls!" azzi quickly pulls away, "wait, what about him!" she whisper yells, pointing to coach as he walks away. "not been established, not been caught" i say, not even thinking about that. would she want to be official without coach knowing? shit.

y/n's pov.

hudson bursts into my room, holding a jar of ben and jerrys and a slurpee. "hi, honey." she whispers. i let go of my pillow, which i had previously been sobbing into. she crawls onto my bed, pulling me into a hug. the second caitlin hung up on me, i called hudson in a panic. "are you okay?" she hands me the spoon, as i open the jar of ice cream. "far from it." i groan, wiping my tears. "well. you are living every girl's dream right now. two famous basketball players, served on a platter." she jokes, taking my hands into hers. i let my head fall into my hands, "what am i supposed to do?" i groan, thinking about everything. i was on the brink of being in love with paige, but caitlin. "everytime i have one, the other comes and makes sure i don't forget about them." i shove the spoon in my mouth, trying to drown out my own thoughts. "well, you can't lead them on. i know it hurts, but you have to figure it out. you have two weeks to do so." she says, rubbing her thumb on my hand. i nod, shoveling more ice cream down my throat. "i just don't know." i whisper, falling onto my back. i groan, rolling over and letting out a scream into my pillow.
