happy senior night baby x

I smiled down at the text as I ate my sandwich. Today was my senior night for soccer, the season had flown by. It was November second, and we were no longer playing Gerald. They decided to forfeit their game against us until we see them in playoffs, so instead Val got us a another game against Jameson. We beat them once this season, so we could easily do it again.

"What are you guys? Undefeated still?" Caroline asks and I nod "Haven't lost a game yet. We're top seed for the playoffs so we'll have a by for the first game." "Now I wanted to ask this before we got there," Caroline leaned against the counter "do you want me to walk with your and your dad? I know last Friday Ash just wanted to walk with your dad so I'm asking you like I did for him."

"Absolutely," I answer quickly "I want you walking with me. I want both my parents figures with me tonight." She smiles "I love you bug," she came over and gave me a hug. "I love you too," I smiled at her as she walked out to get Luna ready.

I changed into my shorts and warm up shirt, made sure I had everything packed and responded to Harry's text before I went down to get my keys.

thank you gorgeous, i'll see you after😚

I grab my soccer bag and headed downstairs to get my wallet and keys. "I'll see you guys at the field," I call to Caroline in the living room with the little ones. "Your dad and Ash will meet us there after practice! Good luck!" Caroline called back as I went out the front door.

I drove over to the school and met with all the girls in the locker room to get our gear on to go warm up. "Are you walking with just your dad?" Kenz asked as we put on our cleats "Caroline's walking with us too. Ash will handle the little ones." She smiles "I was hoping that's what you'd do." I smiled back as we got up to lead the girls down for warm ups.

There's a total of five seniors: me, Mary, Kenz, Kayla, and Lena. I was going to be the first one to walk followed by Kenzie. "Can we talk with our seniors quick?" Val calls as we were going through a drill and we all jogged over to Val and Terry.

"Now we know tonight is a very emotional night," Val starts "And it's emotional for us too." Terry says "We've known you girls since your freshman year, you're our first group to go the full four years with us." "We just want you ladies to know that we're very proud of every single one of you, and the effort you put into the team will be extremely missed next year." Val said "We love you five very much," Terry smiled and I look over and Kenz who's fanning her eyes "You two are gonna make me cry!" she squealed and I giggled, even though I was getting some tears too.

"C'mere," Val laughs and we all go into a group hug "Go get the girls changed, senior night will start in about ten minutes." Terry says and we all nod "Line up!" Kenz shouts as we jogged over to the front. We headed up to the locker room to change into our jerseys "Are we gonna get that win tonight ladies?" I shout and everyone answers back "Are we gonna go kick some a.ss ladies?" Kenz screamed and everyone screamed back. "Line up!"

We all walked onto the field hand in hand with our partner before the seniors moved over to their parents and the other girls made a tunnel for us to walk down.

"Aww you guys," I awe'd as I saw dad standing next to Caroline holding flowers. "Congratulations bug," dad smiled handing me the flowers and kissing my head. "Ready to walk?" Caroline asks me as I linked arms with them both and I nod. "Ready."
