Folded - Paige Bueckers & Azzi Fudd

You'd broken up with Azzi and Paige not that long ago. It's in that phase of you should move on but you can't.

Azzi and Paige had woken up a while ago, but they both laid in the bed quiet. You plaguing their minds.

"You thinking about her too?" Azzi wonders.

"I miss her Az. I can't lie and say I don't." Paige answers honestly.

"I miss her too. I can't believe 2 years together and then we break up. We were doing so well..."

"Exactly us traveling to South Cal and her coming to Storrs. Do you think the distance is worse now?"

Paige and Azzi heard you out. Paige hates that you said it was the distance, but it made sense. You hated that the only time you three were truly together was summer time. Uninterrupted. In person. That's no way to be in a relationship.

Especially when you are trying to also see your family and friends back home. It might be more manageable when it's 2 people in a relationship, but 3? You are kind of right about needing to be realistic.

But if they wanted to they would. And they want to more than anything in the world.

Now instead of traveling to just Storrs. You would be adding another stop to the list; Dallas. It was too much. You'll spend more time traveling and on the phone with them than actual time together. It literally broke your heart to leave them.

You three ended things on good terms. But now the only communication is checking in on you and sending Tiktoks. A little more but we won't get into that right now.

You three already had an argument because Azzi was annoyed of how you respond to them. They were expecting you to still answer them like you are their girlfriend.

So you argued and said either they can accept what they get or not at all. You aren't obligated to answer them because you aren't with them anymore.

That realization had to dawn on them. It was hard to separate the dynamic.

It was hard on you too because that's all you did. You always wanted to answer them or be on the phone with them. You still want to be with them. But parts of you feel like it's not manageable.

You three being all long distance 3 ways is just unrealistic at this point. You don't want to spend all your time missing them and wishing they were just here. So you separated yourself.

Maybe one day you'll find another version of them in one person. Or maybe you are stupid and will be forever alone because you didn't want to suck it up for a few years.

"I mean she isn't wrong. Us all going three different ways is so much. Or like she only sees one of us at a time. Or one of us more than the other. I get where she's coming from but I truly believe we could've worked through it. We still can."

"How?" Paige asks and sits up. She turns towards Azzi because this has clearly been on her mind for a while. "How if she won't even talk to us about being in a relationship again? I invited her to sit at my draft table and she....... She loved it because I had to have you and her at the table. I love loving you two in our own privacy but that was my way of announcing I love you too more than anything. You two are for me. I don't want her left out anymore. I want her at All-Star weekend. I want her to be ours again. I want her there for everything and anything no matter how big or small." Paige says. She was just being honest.

Part of her is missing.

"I want her to be at All Star too. I want to see her sporting my jersey. I want me and her to be supporting you courtside in some gorgeous outfits. I miss all three of us just being together. I refuse to accept that we aren't together. That's why she went off on us a few weeks ago."
