Elements of Us /// Jimmy Butler

Chapter 29

Hey guys, its Kendra and I just want to give a quick disclaimer: I ONLY own the plot and characters that I have created. I don't own anything related to the Bulls, thank you.

"Hello?"

"Hey, baby," Jimmy greeted over the phone, "I got you at a good time?" he questioned, referring to his phone call.

"No," Allison shook her head, "perfect timing actually."

"oh good," Jimmy exclaimed, "Just wanted to check in and see how you're doin and stuff. You excited for tomorrow?"

"Honestly?" She started, "I'm a little nervous." She whispered

"What?" Jimmy asked in disbelief, "You have no reason to be nervous, you're gonna kill it tomorrow and then you're gonna come home the day after and we're gonna celebrate!"

"I can't wait to come home," Allison admitted, almost a month she'd been gone and she only had two days left in which she would compete and then be able to come home, "I feel like I've been gone forever."

"I know," He agreed, "I don't know how I made it this long, to be honest." He laughed

"Less than forty eight hours!" Allison beamed,

"I can pick you up from the airport on Sunday, I mean if you want me to." Jimmy offered

"I'd feel bad making you drive all the way out there just to get me..."

"Nah," Jimmy disagreed, "You're worth it." He said, "I'll be there at around like two-ish, just look for me outside the gate."

"I will thanks." She smiled to herself, "How's home?"

"Good," Jimmy shrugged, pacing around his room, "Be better if you were here, but, still good." He snickered, while explaining to Allison what he'd been doing all day.

"Wow, having so much fun without me, huh?" She teased

"Oh yeah, how'd you know?" Jimmy replied, sarcastically.

"Because I know everything!" She exclaimed with a laugh.

Jimmy took a deep breath girls find out everything.

"Helloooo?" Allison called, trying to bring Jimmy back to reality, "Are you there?"

"Huh?" He mumbled at first, "Oh, uh, yeah."

"Wow, I'm either really boring right now, or you're really tired." Allison said, "Or both."

"I'm a little tired," Jimmy yawned, "Sorry."

"It's fine." She giggled on the other end, "I'll let you go to bed, okay? I should get some rest anyways."

"Okay," Jimmy nodded, "I'll be watching you on the big screen tomorrow morning with the guys, know you're gonna kill it."

"Thanks," Allison sighed, "I love you, so much."

"Hey," Jimmy stopped her, "What's goin on, you okay?"

"Yeah, I, just-" She started, "You're just the best." She shrugged, "Never had anyone someone like this to support me, so I just love you for it."

"Okay whose being cheesy now?"

"Stooop." She dragged out, in a fake whine, "I'm being serious."

"Look," Jimmy said, "I love you too, you support me so I'm gonna support you, of course. Good luck tomorrow." He said seriously, "Even though you don't need it."

"Thanks," she breathed, "Night."

"Night."
