The following morning, Isabella checked in with Lauren to see how Caspian was doing. She was informed that he is doing a little better but not out of the woods just yet. Isabella was at the stables when she received this information, and she went off on Lauren before hanging up. The French trainer heard Isabella and asked if she was okay. Isabella broke down crying and needed to get away. She told the trainer that she was going on a ride. Her felt somewhat better, and she could walk on her foot. The trainer advised that she didn't so her toe could rest, but Isabella didn't listen. She saddled up Sergio and got on. She took him out of the stable and then allowed him to run. She took him on the trail she took Buttercup, and they ran until Isabella's tears stopped flowing. They walked until Isabella found a spot to just sit. She got off of Sergio and tied the guide rope to a tree so he didn't go anywhere. She didn't stay long. Just for nearly 10 minutes before riding back. She got off when they got to the stables and limped to Sergio's stable. She took the guide rope off and allowed him to walk in. She shut the gate and slowly but surely finished her chores. When she was done, the trainer took her back to the train station, and Isabella took the train back to Paris. When she got back to her hotel room, she saw a white jersey sitting on her bed with a new sitting beside it.
Instead of wearing your regular USA gear, I thought I would let you wear my jersey for the game today if you can make it<3 I also got you two seats that are in the second row from the court, so bring a friend! Xoxo, Kelsey
Isabella smiled and put it on. It smelled like Kelsey, and she never wanted to take it off. But since it was her actual jersey, she knew she'd have to give it back. She messaged Ilona to see if she wanted to go to the game, and she said that she absolutely wants to. Isabella had a couple hours before the game started, so she started to get ready. She got a shower and then blow dried her hair. Before she styled her hair, she did her skincare and a little bit of makeup. Then she styled her hair with a half up half down look and framed her face with her overgrown bangs. She then went to re-tape her toes together and put a new cotton between her toes. Then she put on a pair of her Athleta workout leggings, a sports bra, and Kelsey's jersey. Then she put on her socks and shoes and grabbed her purse that contained the tickets, her phone, room key, and wallet. She left and met up with Ilona outside of the arena. "I'm so excited! Who do they play today?" Ilona asked.
"Me too! They play Belgium." Isabella said. They walk through the front doors and go through security before getting to their seats. While they waited for the game to start, Isabella had Ilona take a couple pictures. The first she held up two fingers and extended her arm to be close to the camera. The camera focused more on her fingers, and in the background you could see her smiling. The second picture, it was of her facing away from the camera to show Kelsey's last name. Her head was turned towards the court and looking into the lights with a smile. Ilona moved her hair out of the way so Kelsey's last name wasn't covered up. She didn't know what to do with her hands, so she just lazily rested them on her stomach. Ilona took the picture, and then Isabella took back her phone and took a selfie with Ilona. Then it was Ilona's turn to take pictures. Ilona handed Isabella her phone, and she took the pictures. Then Ilona took her phone back and took a selfie with Isabella. Isabella decided to post the pictures to Instagram.
Game #✌🏼! Can't wait to watch my favorite basketball player play tonight🥰💕 and can't forget that I'm here with my pookie 🤪
Isabella knew she was going to get comments about wearing Kelsey's jersey, but she didn't want to look at the comments. She just wanted to be in the moment and not be looking at her phone every five seconds. "You know that trend on Tik Tok where swifties are saying they hope she plays whatever song, and the other person says wherever they're at? We should totally do that!" Ilona said.
"We should!" Isabella said, so Ilona got out her phone and got on Tik Tok. Then she pressed the 'record' button.
"I hope she plays Our Song!" Isabella said. Ilona paused and handed her phone to Isabella. The Isabella resumed the video.
