Unfading, Unfailing, Unchanging: Love

Kate

How the hell do you lose a person. That is our question of the day. Jada had one job.

Stay with Caitlin.

I was on Gabbie duty because she was already wasted by the time we got to the party. She really has no tolerance whatsoever.

The party was fun, I guess. I don't like to drink during the season ,so parties can be really boring when you are the sober and everyone around you is drunk. Let's be real everything is so much more fun when you are drunk.

Gabbie keeps on telling me I need to let loose and have fun, it is our last year of college after all. Technically my last year of college was 2 years ago.

Sometimes I wonder if I made the right decision staying for a 6th season. Caitlin practically begged me to, I mean she got onto her hands and knees and told me she'd die if I left.

But it wasn't like I would be going far. As much as I would love to go Pro, I'm no Caitlin Clark. The chances of me being drafted are extremely low. Like I mean less than 5%.

Last year, before I decided to play one more season I talked to my Aunt about getting a coaching job for Iowa. And  i'm pretty sure I can still get the job now. I mean it's not like I'm unqualified, I'm graduating with my Masters in sports management in the spring and I've played basketball for literally 20 years.

God I'm getting old.

Caitlin tells me I'm going to be drafted, and I want to believe her, I really really do. But I don't want to give myself false hope.

If I can't play basketball, coaching is the next best thing. I thought about going overseas and playing there, but I really want to move to a foreign country.

But anyway, again, question of the day. How the hell do you lose a person.

FLASHBACK TO LAST NIGHT

"Gabbie stop it's 1am the party is over, we need to go find Jades and Caitlin" I say trying to keep Gabbie standing up right.

I swear to god if this girl goes dead weight on me I'm going to throw hands.

"Noooooo I want to sing, Kate let me sing" She says trying to fight out of my grip. "Give me the microphone. Kate GIVE IT TO ME." She says yelling at me.

She wants a spoon. She things the spoon is a microphone. I actually hate drunk people.

"Thank you I can sing now, I'm like Beyoncé" She says posing. Great now she's falling over.

I run to her and catch her right before she trips over a coffee table? Who puts a coffee table in the middle of a hallway?

Men are such simple creatures.

"Ok let's go find the girls Gabs." I say guiding her out of the house.

I talked Jada before the party met me by my car at the end of the party if we didn't find each other before then. We wanted to have a plan since we weren't going to have our phones during the party.

I give up on trying to help Gabbie walk and just end up throwing her over my shoulder.

"The sky is so beautiful" She drunkly slurs.
"Kate you have such a cute ass" she laughs poking my butt.

We approach my car and I see Jada leaning on it. Wait-

"Yeah Kate you do have a cute butt." She says laughing. Which only makes Gabbie laugh harder.

"Oh no i'm going to pee, Kate put me down! Put me down!" Gabbie says frantically.

I set her down quickly and she runs to a bush. Great. Now she's peeing.
