On the road with Ryder Crawford (Haylor Fanfic)

LXIII -Say, No Hide.

"Go Wildcats!!!" Abigail yells. We're in the car with Andrew on the way to Tucson to watch his big game.

"Save it for later maybe" Andrew says snickering.

"Oh but later I'll be shouting 'You Suck Anderson!!!'" Abigail bites back making all of us laugh.

Ryder and I are still communicating through text, I know I miss him but my heart is feeling so much uneasiness I think it's affecting the way I treat him.

I just want to be distracted from thinking and dealing with the media just so we could stay afloat.

We arrive at the UA stadium and Andrew is leading us to our seats, we climb down the stadium stairs and then walk on to the very front row.

"I'll see you guys later" Andrew says after he's shown us our seats.

"Good luck Drew Mew" I said playfully.

He smiles then nods "Thanks Silver toes, keep an eye on this one" he then replies pointing his finger to Abigail.

Abigail growls then gestures her hand to shoo Andrew away, then after we settle with our beer and popcorn we remove our coats and get ready for the game.

I take my phone to read Ryder's message.

- You have your security with you right?

I huff out and look briefly to my back and see two security dressed casually just behind me and Gail.

Yeah. We're here the game's about to start, text you right after. I typed and sent the reply.

Then tucked the phone to my jeans and then started an animated  conversation with Abigail, after a few more minutes the speakers roared to hype up the crowd as the game began.

Cheerleaders ran towards the stage with the players, I spot Andrew's jersey running with the other bulky looking players.

I feel a lot of pride for him as I watch him do his thing, we used to watch him from the bleachers of our school and now he's playing in a college stadium and by what I hear from the crowd - he's well loved too.

A few people ask for a photo just before the game began but when it was time for the game everyone's attention was solely on the game.

Football is still as brutal as I remembered it, if I had a dollar for every time I cringed and said "Aww" throughout this game, I'd come home loaded.

The game is winding down and both me and Abigail are losing it, we're screaming at the top of our lungs, jumping up and down.

Andrew's team has the lead and they're now on defense, we're chanting cheers along the crowd watching every move like time slowed down then the buzzer rings out and time went back to its dizzying speed.

"They won!!!!" Abigail shrieks and hurls her hands up to me then we jump up and down together.

Andrew and their team is celebrating, Abigail pulls me by the hand and she began sprinting towards the exit leading to the field.

The attendant looks at us for a moment then when he got sight of me he somehow let us through, Abigail and I sprint to the field hand in hand as we head straight to Andrew.

He spots us and he began walking to meet us halfway.

"Congratulations monkey!" Abigail said as she mock punches Andrew on the face to which he slides his face to the punch's direction like he was hit, the two of them grinning down each other.
