gabby🎀.
"so gabby how do you feel that we gotta play the aces in the first round ?" ezi asked.
"definitely mixed emotions because like im excited i get to see jackie but and imma be honest it's hard for us to beat them. like idk what's wrong with our chemistry when we play them" i said.
"no cus i noticed that too" jewell said.
"and i definitely have faith in us & i think we can do it but it's like d*** it's really hard to find that chemistry and find each other" i said.
"well as long as we give 100% and focus we got this" skylar said making me nod.
"oh and NIKKAA im so proud of you baby" i said hugging her tightly.
"thank you bookie" she said through her accent.
i checked my phone and saw that my sister hadn't texted me back. it's been 5 days and i called and texted. this why i hate being away from my family. what if sum wrong and i can't get to them.
i finished talking to the team & headed to my car. and for some odd reason i could feel panic setting in. panic attacks has been apart my childhood especially since i had to be away from my parents a lot.
i took a deep breath as tears rolled down my face. it be happening at the most random times. i texted my mom as well cus why isn't anyone returning my calls & texts.
jackie called me so i put phone on the phone holder. i wiped my face and leveled out by breathing before answering.
"hey gorgeous" she smiled.
"hey mama wyd ?" i asked.
"what's wrong baby ?" jackie asked as i focused on the road.
"nothing why do you ask ?"
"because i can tell when you've been crying. your eyes are puffy. and your voice is cracking and it only do that when your crying or been crying."
"your face is red and you haven't smiled yet" she added making me smile.
"the way you study me" i said smiling as i blushed.
"mhmm period now tell me what's going on with you baby" she said.
"just stopped myself from having a panic attack" i told her.
"whyy ? what were you worrying about mama ?"
"my sister.. i texted and called her for 5 days and she's not answering. and idk if she's okay or not but her being in france scares me" i said as my eyes teared up.
"okay mama calm down.. look can you pull over ?? you cannot be driving while your panicking" she said.
i pulled over and got myself together and honestly crying made me feel so much better but i still can't shake that gut feeling.
"okay now we can talk about that when you make it home i don't wanna make you upset again. how was practice ?" she asked.
"it was amazing bae, like something about today was different it made me feel like me again and i really had fun" i smiled.
"aww that's good my love" her smooth voice said.
once i made it home i showered and then got into bed. nap time you hear me lol.

"aww poor gabby.. did she ever hear back from her sister ?" aja asked.
"oh yeah late last night. like the relief on her face i could hear her exhale" i said.
"i feel her cus like being away from your family is a lot" tiff said.
"exactly and when i called her i could tell she was crying so i asked her what was wrong and then when she finally told me like she was starting to panic again and it really broke my heart cus like im all the way in vegas and i can't help calm her down" i said.
"im so glad we play them sunday.. i just wanna give her a big hug" kelsey said.
"no frr" tiff said.
after talking to the team i went home and called gabby because even tho she heard back from her sister she still has really bad anxiety.
"how you feeling my love ?" i asked.
"much better i feel like i can finally breathe" she said making me smile.
"so yk we're playing yall on sunday" i said.

"definitely baby. they love you and i love that. but i can't wait to see you too and give you a big hug cus you really need it" i said and she nodded.
"i want you to know that no matter what happens im proud of you" i told her.
"d*** i know yall team is better but dang we ain't even lost yet" she said making me look at her in confusion.
"baby what ?? that's not what i said im just saying that wether you guys lose or-
"exactly. yk that's a f***** up thing for you to say jackie" she said making me stare at her with blank look.

"okay first of all you didn't let me finish."
"i said wether YOU lose ORR i lose im proud of you. you guys have what it takes and i don't want you to hang your head down low and get discouraged if anything happens that you don't want too" i said.
"you really believe we could win ?" she asked.
"absolutely, there's no bad team in the league so everyone gotta give it a 100% and EVERY TEAM is capable wether they have the worst record or the best record" i said.
"i'm sorry jack.. it's just hearing a lot people say well storm is gonna be put out the first round cus they playing the 2x back2back champs really be messing with my confidence a little" she said.
"girl f*** them folks. you gotta go out there & show them you really like that. you gone be good baby" i said.
