My BestFriend My Teammate and Broken Promises

Chapter 25

Kelley's PoV

The reporters won't leave us alone. They keep asking about them.

"Hey coach?" I say to Jill once we've been on the plane awhile.

"Yes Kelley?" She says.

"I think we need to do something about the reporters. Their diving me insane. I wanna blurt out what's happened in the past month but I can't. I know everyone else wants to as well."

"Well then tell them." She says. "I think everyone needs to know. But only tell them that they were kidnapped and were severely beaten. Don't tell who kidnapped them though." She says.

"Okay. Thank you! I'll go tell the team." I go back to our side of the plane. "Hey guys! Gather around!" Some of them groan and get up.

"Why?" Says Sydney. "I was sleeping."

"Well you'll want to hear this. Ok so we can tell people about Alex and Tobin. But we can only say that they were kidnapped and severely beaten. Do not mention Servando. That could be bad."

"Thank goodness!" Says Meghan. "I thought I would go crazy if I couldn't tell someone besides the people who already know."We all chuckle." The rest of the way to LA was peaceful. It was weird not having Alex and Tobin playing heads up in the back and ticking off the people who were trying to sleep. I think everyone felt the same.

Alex's PoV

Pain. Pain is all I feel. It's not as bad as I remember but it's still there. I slowly open my eyes. I'm in a dimly lit room. I turn my head and see Tobin in a bed next to mine. She's sleeping.

Why is she here? I thought she was better. Then I vaguely remember that night. I heard my name being shouted and I seeing Tobin fall to her knees. I remember gunshots.

Oh no. I think she was shot. Then I don't remember anything after that. Tobin moans.

"Tobin?" I rasp out. My voice hurts to. She turns her head towards me.

"Hey lex." She smiles. I laugh and start to cry. "What? Don't cry lex. We're okay. You're okay."

"I know but it's my fault. I mean to bring you into this. I made you decide to kill yourself. All your scars are my fault. I'm so sorry Tobin. I should have never pushed you away. I'm sorry." And I sob. I here Tobin sniff.

"It's alright Alex. We made it through. I forgive you. I could never stay mad at you. You're my best friend. I was mad and terrified at that moment. I thought I had lost you. You broke your promise Alex. That's what made me the most upset."

"I know. I should have remembered my promise and tryed to fix everything."

"It's okay Alex."

"No it's not!" I yell and start to cough. When I get it under control I continue to talk just in a quieter voice. "It's not okay Tobin. If you would've have successfully killed yourself it would have been my fault. I'm so so so sorry."

"I forgive you. Know enough tears let's call the doctor in and then we can see if our friends can come over." I smile. She pushes the button that calls the doctor in. He walks in.

"It's nice to see you guys awake." He says. "You've been asleep for a few days. Now your injuries." I brace myself. "Alex you have a collapsed lung, all your ribs are broken, lost of over 50% of you're blood and several minor injuries. Those are the major stuff. Tobin you were shot twice." Oh my goodness. "You also lost a lot of you're blood. The bullets broke some of your bones. Now the part that you probably don't want to hear. I'll let your friends tell you about that." I hope it has nothing to with soccer. The doctor walks over to the door and opens it. All of our teammates come running in with Kelley Amy and Lauren in the front.

"You guys are alive! I'm so glad you guys are okay!" Says Lauren. She starts to cry. She goes over to Tobin and hugs her.

"It's all right Lauren. I'm okay." She pulls away.

"But you weren't." She becomes very serious.

"What happened? And what was the worst thing that's happened?" I ask. Before she answers she comes over and gives me a hug. Everyone else does to. Their careful with us and for that I'm very grateful.

"Guys what is the big problem?" Tobin and I ask at the same time. We don't laugh though cause we're both dead serious.

"Are you guys sure you want to hear it?" We nod our heads. And brace ourselves for the worst.

Kelley steps forward. She holds both of hands and squeezes them a little.

"You guys were dead."
