☆⋆｡𖦹°‧★
As I become more capable of moving around, the more it sucks that I'm not out there with my team practicing. I just wish a miracle would happen and I would be ready for the season.
Physical therapy is long and brutal, I often just want to give up and sit in my bed eating junk food, but Evelina is constantly making sure I'm doing what I'm supposed to. I get an "accountability text" from her everyday day. She sends me a picture of her getting studying done and I send her a picture of me doing physical therapy.
Something random she came up with after I complained to Cameron. I just wish I got to know her more, but it's hard when wherever she goes so does Cameron. They basically move as one. And when Cameron's around it's nonstop about PT. I know that's like her job but I wish she would take a break.
I snap back into reality realizing I'm staring at the picture Evelina sent to me. She is wearing the same shirt she wore for movie night, and the only thing I remember from that night was how awkward the movie was, and the weird feeling I got when I saw her. Okay pause, why am I being weird. I put down my phone so I can start focusing on my knee.

Later that evening I'm sat on the couch listening to everyone else talk. Being in a big group is chill when you can go nonverbal.
"Hey hey hey!" A familiar voice starts walking through the front door. It was Cameron and Evelina following behind her carrying legos.
There was numerous "hey y'all" from everyone.
"I was at target earlier and I just had this urge to go look through the toy section, and I thought it would be fun if we built Legos!" Evelina says setting down three small boxes.
Everyone starts to get closer to the coffee table when Eve scoots it towards me. She gives me a small smile before turning back to the boxes opening them up.
"Cameron no. The piece goes right here! Just look at the instructions." This girl quite literally drops her head onto the coffee table.
"Cameron, you are driving me insane. We can never build legos together again." I laugh at how they get along like siblings, and so does everyone else. She then lets out a loud groan moving to another piece to build.
"Y'all are funny" Nika comments looking up from her phone. She is probably texting her boyfriend.
Soon enough everyone got bored of building, and it was just me and Evelina who was now sitting next to me.
"Will you put this there" her eyes are glued to the instructions as she puts out her hand for me to grab the pink 2 by 2 Lego piece.
Her locs fall into place in front of her almost on top of the what she is building. I don't understand how someone can stick to a hairstyle for that long. I mean I get it, but it's commitment.
The table starts to vibrate as Evelina receives a call, I can't tell who it's from since the contact name is probably in Italian.
"Do you have somewhere I could go talk to my grandma?" She looks back at me. I hesitate for a moment then respond.
"Yeah you can go in my room," I get up grabbing my crutches so I can show her to my room. When I open the door for her she sits down on my bean bag smiling.
"You can stay in here if you want I have nothing to hide." She lets out a quick laugh before answering her call.
"Ciao" is the last word I can make out in Italian before she speaks way faster than I can register. I've never heard her fully speak it before, and right now is really showing how fluent she is.
Her grandmother says something and she points the phone to me. I give an awkward wave and when she turns the phone back around her grandmother says something that makes her laugh.
She continues to talk on the phone, but occasionally looks at me which makes me think she is talking about me and now I'm stressed pulling out my phone to make me look busy.
She says a final word and the call ends as she stands up.
"Do you like the color purple?"
"Yes ma'am." She laughs at my response before continuing again. "Your room is cute, it suits you."
"Thanks....also were you talking about me to your grandma while I was right in front of you"
"Okay, okay let me explain. Basically she was wondering where I was and I had to explain to her I was in your room and why, and basically who you were just basic worried grandparent things." She rants
"It's all good I totally get it."
For the next 40 minutes it's just me and Evelina building, well more like she takes the lead and gives me the pieces to put where they go.
Like I said before: Cameron and Evelina move as one, so when Cam starts to get tired they both leave. I get that they have been best friends for awhile, just like me and Azzi, but we have our space.
˚. ✦.˳·˖✶ ⋆.✧̣̇˚. This was just a filler chapter until we get to the parts I've kinda planned out. Get excited because now that it's October it means Paige's birthday, Evelina's birthday, Halloween and then the start of the season 😈 Also sorry if this chapter was grammatically incorrect I'm like deliriously tired. -J
