USWNT - High School

Chapter 45

A/N: The last chapter definitely got more mixed reactions then I had expected, but I loved it. To everyone grieving O'Moe, hopefully this will make it better.

I'm about to give you THE guaranteed most requested pairing, so you're welcome.

Moe's POV

'Are you busy?' I texted Lindsey, hoping she wasn't asleep yet. It was around 11pm on a school night, so it wouldn't be too uncommon if she was, but I knew Lindsey was the one to try in a time of need at this hour. She's a night owl, much like myself, and we often stay up way past midnight for no reason. Then again, she's also the one to forget to reply and not text back for like four days.

My head was still spinning from my conversation with Kelley, but at least I had stopped crying. I want to hate her for putting me through what she did, only to chose the other girl, but as hard as I tried I could never. I believed every word she said, if they were true or not. She cared about me, just not enough.

'I'm just about to go for a little road trip with Kling, you wanna come?' Lindsey texted me back rather quickly to my surprise, and I was honestly down to do anything. Anything that could possibly distract me. I didn't know Meghan all that well, but Lindsey knows her through their families being close or something so I'm sure she's cool.

I agreed to the road trip and about 15 minutes later I hear Lindsey outside. Meghan was driving, and Lindsey was in the front seat so I jumped in the back. "Hey, guys." I started, trying my best to sound as causal as possible. The whole evening was honestly more blurry now than anything, and I was surprisingly enough feeling okay. It might be some kind of shock coping mechanism thing, but nevertheless it's fine right now.

"You okay?" Lindsey immediately turned around, and gave me a rather suspicious look. I guess it was more obvious than I had hoped. I was carefully shaking my head in response, trying to get her to not make a scene. I was fine, and I didn't want this evening to be any more about Kelley than it already was. Lindsey seemed more worried now, but forced a pale smile as she seemed to catch on to it.

"So you know Kling, right?" Lindsey changed the subject, as she put one hand on the girl next to her as she looked back at me. I smiled back, being thankful that she didn't keep asking. "Sure. Hi, Meghan." I said polite, feeling surprisingly calm in her presence. I'm usually kinda shy with people I don't know well, but then again I do see Meghan at least twice a week for practice so she's not exactly a stranger. "Please, call me Kling." Meghan answered, smiling at me through the rearview mirror. I got a feeling that she too caught on to that something was not quite okay with me, but was kind enough to keep a light mood.

We drove around for about an hour, just all joking around and playing music. We had a great time, and I was confused to why I had never hung out with Kling much before. We hit it off right away, and I definitely don't do that with everyone. The night overall almost got me to completely forget about the horrible happenings I had beforehand. Almost.

"So how's things with Kelley?" Kling sat down next to me as we were outside a grocery store waiting for Lindsey, who had insisted on buying something to eat. I wasn't complaining. The mentioning of the older girl though, now that was like a sting in my heart. Meghan didn't know any better, I mean everyone had seen Kelley and I together lately and it was probably only a polite thing to ask but my god that hurts right now.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to-" She must've read my facial expression, cause only seconds later she spoke up again, sounding terrified for having asked the wrong thing. "It's okay." I quickly interrupted her, not wanting her to feel bad about asking. "We're not- it's not really a thing anymore." I said honest, realizing she was the first one I told these news to. Not even Lindsey or JJ knew, and here I was spilling my heart out to someone I barley know. She was just an easy person to talk to I suppose.

"Oh, I'm so sorry. I just thought- are you okay?" She seemed a little lost at her words, but quickly recovered with a caring question. I shouldn't be okay, but honestly right now I didn't feel so bad. "I'm okay." I said sincere, almost surprising myself at how sincere I was able to be. Maybe I was right when I said I was going to be fine without Kelley.

"She's back with Hope, huh?" Meghan blurted out, sounding like she wasn't sure if asking was the right thing but her curiosity got the the best of her. I didn't like the thoughts of her question, but I knew the truth to it. Kelley never said the words directly, but it's just a question of time. It's what I have to prepare for.

I nodded slowly, looking down at my hands as I did so. "Well, she clearly doesn't know what she's missing then." Kling said comforting, and managed to get a smile back on my face. It was just something about her positive energy, something that made me feel better no matter how tragic things may look.

"I got your favorite!" Lindsey suddenly appeared next to the car again, eagerly holding up a box of macaroons. Despite the fact that I didn't mind talking to Kling, I was very pleased to see basically my favorite thing in the whole world. Lindsey knows I wasn't having the best day, so it's very nice of her to do this.

"Macaroons! You're the best, Linds." Kling suddenly beat me to thanking Lindsey, and I was confused for a moment. Lindsey just smiled as she was slowly shaking her head.
"It was actually for Moe, I completely forgot you're crazy about that too." She said, as she handed Kling the box.

"How could you forget my Mac-attack?" Kling fake whined, and I was once again with a smile on my face from her remark and expression. She surely was one to make you laugh, that's for sure. "We can share it, okay?" Kling turned to me with a smile, holding the box open to offer me the first pick. It was very sweet of her, and I found myself getting a warm feeling inside from her kind gesture.

No matter how heartbroken I had been, there was now a strong feeling that came over me.

Everything is going to be okay.

Who doesn't love some KlingenMoe?

Q: I've always seen them as more of a BrOTP, but do you wanna see them romantically involved? I'm up for requests on this one, cause this can tilt both ways so far. New bff's or another couple alert?
