Chapter 40

It's been a year since Mariah got into her car accident and after that Noel and Madison went to go film obx and then they went on press which Noel had a whole lot of fun. Noel also graduated from high school two years early and got many D1 scholarships for gymnastics and she decided to go to UCLA with Charlotte who got a scholarship for dance. Lily ended up moving to level 9 and she's training for level 10. Lily also really liked acting so she auditioned for a movie with Noel and they both got the parts. After they finished filming Noel went off to college while Lily stayed with Madison and Mariah. There's been one set back in Noel's college career the fact she's graduating very early. Today is a big day for both Noel and Lily. Noel is competing in the NCAA gymnastics championship which is streamed on tv and Lily is competing in the junior olympics so Madison and Mariah had to split up to support the both of them. Madison went with Noel and Mariah went with Lily. Lily is also the youngest to compete in the junior olympics only being nine years old. While Noel is also the youngest being eighteen years old. "Mama come on." Lily said. "I'm coming hold on." Mariah said. Mariah went over by Lily who was sitting on the bench. "You ready?" Mariah asked. "Yea but Mommy or Noel aren't here." Lily said. "I can call them." Mariah said. "Ok but you're staying right." Lily asked. "Of course I am." Mariah said. Lily's coach came over and told her it was time to warm up. "Call Mommy so she can see me." Lily said. "I will good luck I love you." Mariah said. "I love you too." Lily said. Lily went to go warm up when Madison and Noel walked in. "Aren't you guys suppose to be going to Louisiana for the championship?" Mariah said. "We don't leave until Thursday and I told my team I was going to support Lily and they all came with me." Noel said. "That's great she needs some support." Mariah said. "Noel you want to go sit where we're suppose to sit since we're giving out the medals." A girl from the UCLA team said. "Yea mom I'll be over there." Noel said as she pointed to where she was going to sit. Noel and her team went over to where they were supposed to sit while Charlotte sat with Madison and Mariah. "As we get started with the competition we have some very special gymnasts here today. The UCLA women's gymnastics team who is competing in the NCAA gymnastics championships." The announcer said. Everyone cheered while Lily ran up to Noel. "You're here. Mama said you couldn't make it. Is mommy here too?" Lily said. "Yea and Charlotte's here too." Noel said. Lily gave the rest of the team a hug and they all wished her good luck. Lily went out to compete and floor was first. Lily had finished her routine but the judges were sharing the scores until rewards. "Nice job Lil." Madison yelled. After Lily finished all of her events she went by Noel who was sitting with Charlotte. "Mommy can I have a snack I feel kind of dizzy." Lily said. "Here I brought you some fruit and go drink some of your water." Mariah said. "But my water is over there." Lily said. "Here drink some of mine." Madison said. Lily drank some of Madison's water which made her feel better. "Our rewards will be starting in five minutes so gymnasts please report to the floor and stand with your coaches." The announcer said. Lily went to over by her coach and waited for the awards to be announced. "And now for first place on floor with a perfect score is Ms Liliana Bailey from LA Gymnastics Club." The announcer said. Lily went up to the podium and Noel put the medal around her neck. Then Lily got first place for all of her events. "Our winner of the junior olympics is not only our youngest competitor but our highest scoring competitor Ms Liliana Bailey with a perfect 40. Congratulations." The announcer said. Lily went to go claim her medals and her trophy. Lily went over by Noel and her team and showed them her trophy. "You won good job bean." Noel said. "Now we can have matching trophies." Lily said. "Yea and medals." Noel said. Madison and Mariah came over and gave Lily a huge hug. "Wait let me get a picture." Lily's coach said. Lily's coach took a picture of the whole Bailey family and then she hugged Lily and said bye. "Can we leave now I want to go home." Lily said. "You don't want to go out and celebrate at all?" Noel said. "No I want to go home." Lily said. Lily went over by the door which was where all the older girls who were competing were standing.
