jackie🦋.

i walked into the locker room with gigi behind me. we had a game today against the sparks. i walked in and set my stuff down. i felt gigi hold on to my shirt making me turn around to face her.

"it's okay baby, you can let go now." i told her and she nodded. anytime we go anywhere in public she would hold on to me or my clothes just for safety and i love that idea.

"heyy gigi" chelsea said.

"hi aunt chelsea" she said sitting down.

"here hold this for me please ?" i asked and she nodded.

"HEYY GUYSS" sydney yelled walking into the locker room.

"girl why is you always yelling ?" kiah said.

"no fr it's never that serious" kelsey replied.

"both of yall can really go choke" sydney said rolling her eyes.

"so sassy" i said as i laughed.

"ouu aja you look cute outfit eats" kirsten said.

"thank yah thank yah" she said smiling.

"gigi will you help me with the water bottles ?" Coach Becky asked her. she looked over at me and i smiled nodding.

"go ahead love bug. i promise you can trust her your safe here with us" i told her and she nodded. i watched as she grabbed becky's hand and they walked out.

"so is she going to regular school or homeschool ?" kirsten asked.

"we're gonna try regular school first because she does wanna play basketball with other girls and try to make friends. if that doesn't work out she's gonna do homeschool" i told her.

"well they better act right when it comes to my niece i know that much. cus i don't play with nobody kids" aja said.

"period" chelsea said.

TIMESKIP🫶🏾.

i ran down court on defense and held kia. she dribbled and i snatched it running down court doing a fast break.

we won 101-97. i finished with 35 points & 10 assists. i shook hands and talked to some of the other players before doing a interview.

"jackie you were amazing out there! from start to finish you were on fire. does it help that chelsea is back on the floor with you guys ?"

"thank you and yes ma'am it does! chelsea is our main point guard and she really knows how to run the floor but she's given me more opportunities to get the ball in the goal"

"and those assists, the no look passes is it important is it to pass if off or just the best to make sure aja gets the ball and does what she does ?"

"oh yeah, aja plays a huge part so i make sure i catch her in the paint as much as possible.. honestly tonight we just gave it everything we got making sure to move the ball more!"

"and one last question.. we noticed that you have gotten in the paint more yourself is that out of your comfort zone or is that something you've always been good at ?"

"umm i think it was more out of my-" i felt gigi come behind me hugging my waist.

"it was definitely out of my comfort zone it's not something i feel comfortable about doing but being open gives me that opportunity so i take it. i'm just trying to make sure that i stay tuff on the court wether that's in or outside of the paint"

"thank you jackie and can we get a introduction ?"

"yeahh this is my daughter gianna we call her gigi lol. she loves basketball and she's always front and center" i said as they put her in the camera.

she smiled at it and waved. she looked up at me before catching a ball and running off to shoot with aja and dearica.

"ahh she gives off shy just like her mommy".

"great game tonight tho jackie is there anything you wanna say ?"

"i just wanna give a little shoutout to my baby because when i woke up this morning and she told me she said mommy your gonna be amazing tonight i can't wait to see you out there doing what you do best. i believe in you and your team. you guys are gonna win"

"so it made my heart so happy hearing that come from a 13 year old she's really smart and wise and ik i had to come out here and go hard for her and my teammates. so shoutout to gianna i love you baby!" i said smiling at the camera.

"thank you jackie and congratulations"

"thank you so much" i said wiping my face as i walked towards the bench.

gianna🌸.

"i'm not hungry" i told my mom.

"gianna you skipped breakfast and lunch. you gotta eat baby" she told me.

"can i tell you something ?" i asked looking at her.

"ofc wassup ?"

"i think that i might have a eating disorder. because even when i am hungry i will not eat and it when i do eat it makes me feel guilty so i throw it back up" i told her.

"omg baby.. you should've told me from day 1" she said.

"well we're gonna get you checked out. it's okay we're gonna get you help love. but your dads gonna call you tomorrow" she said making me smile.

"okay, but when we get home can we bake brownies ?"

"whatever you want" she said as i held onto her waists.

i grabbed my things and we walked to the bus. i could tell i was sleepy my eyes started to shut. i got on the bus and sat beside my mom laying my head on her lap.

"go to sleep baby.. i will wake you up" she told me.

"DUBBBB YEAHHH"'sydney said yelling. i jumped quickly holding her chest.

"BRUH SHH. see now you done woke her up."

"done scared the poor baby" kelsey said huffing.

"oh sorry gigi. i was just happy about our win" sydney whispered to her.

"that's okay aunt syd" i said giggling.

"hmm put these on" my mom said handing me my headphones. i put them on and started watching netflix. i knew i was gonna fall asleep soon so it didn't really matter what i was watching. i felt my mom kiss my head.
