Brooklyn's POV
I sat on the bed clueless of what to do. I decided it's best that I get up. Go find someone. I knew they made Mallory stay away from me right now. She would be in here most likely if not. I left my bedroom and walked down the hall. I took in a deep breath before raising my hand to knock on her door, but I couldn't.
I took my hand back and walked to Coach Ellis' room. She surely knows now too. I knocked on her door and heard her shuffle over. "Brooklyn, I've been getting ready to come speak with you. Why don't you come in?" I nodded my head and walked into her clean hotel room.
"I'm aware of the accident. I'm sorry. What can I do to help?"
"Do...do you know if someone is adopting me?" Coach Ellis looked down at her hands as she sat down on the bed across from me. "I'm sorry Brooklyn, but I think it's best if you just worry about other things right now. They don't want you to know right now..."
"Why? I wanna know who I legally have to go with. There's no way I'm staying in Cali, so where am I moving? I don't wanna leave another place unless it's with the right person."
"Brooklyn, I promise you this, the person adopting you couldn't love you anymore. She's been there for you and that won't change." I nodded my head and looked away. "One more thing...why doesn't Christen want me to know?"
"I can't tell you who it is, please just try to keep your mind clear. I'm really sorry for your loss. If you would like to akip team dinner tonight, I completely understand." I shook my head. "I'll be there." After that I got up and she led me to the door and gave me a hug. "Bye sweetie." I left her room and walked to my room grabbed a few things and took off to a nearby field.
I arrived at the field and put in my power beats and blasted the music into my ears as I laced up my cleats. I stood up and jugged the ball towards the center of the field. I played with the ball doing a few more tricks before volleying it into the goal, then went to retrieve it. I did this numerous times before I saw someone watching me.
I looked at the person more focused and saw who it was, Julie. She sat on ths bench watching me. I jogged over and looked at her. "Are you all just gonna follow me now?"
"We just wanna make sure you're safe." She looked at me with a soft facial expression. "We're just worried about you." I sat down next to her and she placed her arm around my shoulders as I laid my head on her shoulders.
"I'll be okay...once she finally tells me its her. Why isn't she telling me she adopted me? I love Christen she was practically already my mom. I just wanna go home with someone I trust and who loves me."
"I want you to also, but Brooklyn why are you so sure it's her?"
"Who else would it be?"
Julie stayed silent. She never answered the question. We just sat there in silence for a few minutes. We both silently got up and walked back to the hotel after awhile.

"Do you wanna go get something to eat." I opened my eyes a little and looked at Christen. Julie had brought me to her room and I fell asleep in her bed next to her. I nodded my head against her chest and shut my eyes. "Well that means you're gonna have to get up."
"Christen, do you know who adopted me?"
"Brooklyn...that doesn't matter right now."
"Why does everyone keep telling me that?"
"It's for the best right now." We got out of bed and left to get food. As i passed through the lobby I saw Alex, but she quickly turned her head. "Hey Alex wanna come eat with us?"
