Don't Fight It.

Chapter Thirteen

((I'm gonna say they have been in Colorado this whole time so yeah. And yes I know that doesn't make sense but this is fiction so it doesn't matter)) 

Chapter 13:

The next morning, Alex kept her promise and helped Tobin pack which only took an hour or so. The team had about a week to do whatever before they had to fly to New York then to Canada. Tobin was flying back to New Jersey to spend time with her family while Alex was flying back to California to spend time with hers. This is the first time since the two started dating that they would be apart and neither one were sure on how they would handle it. Tobin and Alex scheduled flights around the same time so they could go to the airport together and say goodbye.

"Let's go, Alex. The cab is waiting." Tobin yelled as they said their last goodbyes with the rest of the team.

"I'm coming!" Alex hugged Kelley last then climbed into the cab with Tobin.

"You do know we are going to see them in a week?" Tobin joked.

"That's a long time, Tobs." Alex pouted.

The two sat in silence most of the cab ride until they finally arrived at the airport. Tobin and Alex pulled their bags out of the truck and waited in line at security.

"Um babe. Random question, have you told your parents about us?" Tobin asked nervously.

"Actually no, have you?"

"I haven't either. Don't you think we should probably tell them since we have been dating for over two months?"

"Let's just get through security first and then we will talk about it." Alex suggested.

Tobin nodded and started removing her shoes and jacket to walk through the metal detector. Alex and Tobin made it through with problem and headed towards the gate. They were only stopped a few times to sign autographs or take pictures and since Alex's flight left an hour after Tobin's, she waited with her.

"So back to telling our parents, you know my parents already love you, so I think they would be fine with us dating. I'll most likely tell them when I get to California if that's okay." Alex asked.

"Yeah that's fine. Our parents need to know that we're together. But I just don't know how mine are going to react." Tobin looked down, fiddling her thumbs.

"Tobin, you're parents love you. They won't shame you because you're dating me."

"I know they love me but the problem is that they love God also and they follow the bible to a tee. Heck I did also until I feel in love with my best friend and it made me realize that God will always love me no matter who I am. But I just don't know if my parents will understand that."

"We'll get through it together, Tobin. Maybe start with telling Perry because she seems like she would be accepting of us."

"Yeah I'll tell Perry first. And I promise I'll tell my parents before we fly to New York. I'm not embarrassed of who I am, Alex, and I'm definitely not embarrassed of who I have become while dating you."

"I know, Tobin. I'll be supportive the entire time and if you don't want to tell your parents yet, we can wait." Alex said while taking hold of her girlfriend's hands.

"I love you, Lex. And if we weren't in public right now I would kiss you." Tobin smiled.

"I love you too. And I'll remember that you owe me a kiss later." Alex winked. "And  it looks like your flight just arrived."

Tobin groaned and brought Alex's hands to her lips, giving them both a kiss. "Call me when you land."

"I will." Alex smiled while standing up with Tobin. "I'm going to miss you, Tobs."

"I'm gonna miss you too, Lex." Tobin said pulling her girlfriend into a tight hug. "It's only a week though. Then we have a whole month together in Canada. And then we are getting...wait are still getting an apartment together?"

"We will talk about that later but I still do." Alex said placing a small kiss on Tobin's neck. "Now go get on your flight."

Tobin released Alex from her hug and laughed, "Are you trying to get rid of me?"

"No I just don't want you to miss your flight. Now go, and remember I'll call you when I land and I love you."

"Love you too. And make sure you don't miss your flight." Tobin said while walking to the boarding area and with one small wave and a wink, she was gone.

Alex made her way over to her gate and barely sat down before she got a text.

Miss you already. <3 -Tobs

Alex smiled at the text before replying.

One week. That's all, babe. <3 -Lex

The two texted for awhile before Tobin said that her flight was taking off so Alex was left just waiting for her flight. She checked all her social medias for a little bit before deciding to tweet something.

@alexmorgan13: When your best friend as an earlier flight and you are left waiting for yours alone. Thanks @tobinheath.

@christenpress: @alexmorgan if you turned around, you wouldn't be waiting alone.

Alex saw the notification and slowly turned around and saw a laughing Christen.

"Christen!" Alex shouted before leaping into Christen's arms.

Christen laughed and hugged Alex back. "Remember I'm from Cali too."

"I know but I guess I never thought that we booked the same flight."

"So excited to see your family again?" Christen asked sitting down.

"Yeah...I mean like of course I'm excited to see them but me and Tobin agreed to tell our parents about us before we head to Canada and I guess I'm just a little nervous."

"Trust me, Alex. The chances of your parents not approving you and Tobin is like slim to none. The real question is how are Tobin's parents going to react."

"She's telling Perry first and then going for her parents. She's scared of what her parents are going to say though." Alex sighed.

"You guys will get through it. Telling the parents is the hardest part, you know?" Christen joked.

"Ha ha ha. Now come on. Our flight is boarding."

Christen just laughed and gathered her things. Alex and Christen managed to switch seats with some people and ended up sitting by each other. Soon enough, Alex was going to be home to a loving, accepting family. Or at least she hopes she will.
