Don't Fight It.

Chapter Fifty-Five

Chapter 55:

After LA Live, the ticker tape parade, T-Swift, the girls had to go back to their jobs and join their NWSL teams.

It was hard saying goodbye to each other after being together for so long and they have grown into a family.

But Hope and Kelley was the hardest goodbye on the team.

"I don't want to be away from you." Kelley mumbled against Hope's chest, hugging her tight.

Hope kissed the top of her head, "I know. It's only for a month then we get to be together for the victory tour."

"You'll call every night, right? Keep me updated on your knee?"

"Yes I will. I promise. And I think Harvey is letting me take a few weeks to recover fully so no need to worry."

"Okay don't miss your flight. I love you." She said with teary eyes.

"I love you too. I'll call when I land." Hope replied pulling back to wipe the tears away from Kelley's face. "I'll miss you."

Kelley closed her eyes, "I'll miss you too."

Hope softly connected their lips for a moment before heading through security.

Once Kelley reopened her eyes, she saw that she was now alone in the airport.

Alex and Tobin came up behind her.

"You okay, Kels?" Alex asked quietly.

"Yeah. It's only for a month, I'll be okay." She answered wiping away the few stray tears. "When does your and Tobin's flight leave for Portland?"

Tobin gave her a small smile, "In about an hour and a half."

"Have you guys found a place yet?"

"No we are going to look at a few in the next couple of days so we're gonna stay with Allie until we do."

"Well I better get going. Sam and Caitlin are driving her from New Jersey to pick me up."

"Wait the Aussies? Have you even met them off the field?" Alex questioned.

"No but I mean they seem nice and sky blue told me I had to room with someone so they offered."

"Don't go replacing us, Kels." Tobin joked.

The trio hugged and said goodbye then it was just Alex and Tobin.

"Ready to go home?" Tobin asked grabbing hold of Alex's hand.

"Of course. I can't wait until we find our own place and settle in and get a dog."

Tobin laughed, "Mhm hmm besides the dog still isn't happening."

Their flight landed and Allie was nice enough to pick them up from the airport.

"I've missed you two!" She said happily engulfing them into a hug.

"Missed you two. Thanks for letting us stay with you until we find our own place." Alex replied.

"No big deal. I'll do anything for you two."

Once they got back to Allie's house, they were greeted by her fiancé.

"Congrats on the win." He said, leading the couple to the guest room.

Tobin smiled, "Thanks."

"Well I'll be at work during the days so you guys won't have to deal with me a lot while you stay here." He joked.

"I think we are the inconveniences so I don't think that's a problem." Alex laughed.

"Oh Alex, your parents dropped off your car the other day with most of your and Tobin's stuff." Allie said as they sat in the living room.
