British Tobin

"Are you excited to see your mom?" Jordan asks while we sit in the airport, waiting for our flights. I moved to London earlier than expected after my roadtrip with Jack. Now I'm heading to see my mom play in the World Cup, along with my roommate, Jordan.

"I am. I haven't gotten the chance to talk to her lately, I miss her." Jordan aww's and wraps an arm over my shoulder.

"What about Jack?" She asks. I know it's because I haven't said anything about my best friend in a few weeks.

"I don't know if she'll be there." I mumble, my head dropping.

We had a nasty argument when we got back to Idaho from our roadtrip, some things were said on both parts, and we didn't leave off on the best terms. To say it would be awkward to see her again is an understatement, especially because there have been rumors on who I'm dating.

To be 'shipped' with my new teammates isn't great - I barely know them. The only people I've really spoken to is Jordan, Daniëlle and Kim.

"Don't overthink it too much, she's your best friend, you guys will be fine, love." Jordan comforts me, rubbing my knee until I lift her hand and drop it on her lap.

"This is why people think we're dating." I groan as she laughs, not caring in the slightest.

"Are Hope and Jack flying in?" I ask Kelley as we take a break from training to get some water.

"Yeah. Apparently Jack was so nervous that she was nearly sick." She laughs while shaking her head. "I don't even know what happened with them. I had such high hopes for them as a couple." She sighs. "How is Cody doing?"

"I wish I knew. I've been so busy here that I've barely had a chance to call her, or even text her. I feel like a fucking failure." I feel a hand rub my shoulder and turn to see Tobin giving me a sad smile.

"She's fine."

"Tell us, oh wise one, how do you know that?" Kelley sasses.

"Heather." Tobin shrugs, "She still talks to a lot of her ex teammates. Cody's on her way here with Jordan."

"Am I the only one that finds that weird?" Christen cuts in, gaining numerous confused looks before she continues. "Well, she's Alex's kid, and there's rumors that she's dating Jordan, aka The British Tobin."

"Press. Go away." Kelley playfully pushes the forward. "I'm still holding out hope for Jack."

"Really?" Moe and Kling walking side by side, stopping next to Kelley. "I heard she's with...what's her name?" Moe looks at Kling, who shrugs. "Oh! Daniëlle?"

"Who is she with, Alex?" Kling asks, obviously looking for facts. Facts that I don't have.

I'm waiting for our flight as I watch Jack pacing in front of me. She hasn't stopped for twenty minutes and her breaths are becoming ragged.

"Jack, calm down." I stand from my seat to place my hands on her shoulders, guiding her to a seat and kneeling in front of her. "It's only Cody. You've known her for years, there's nothing to be nervous about."

"It feels like there is. There's so much I need to tell her."

"And you will." I cut her off before she can begin to ramble "But for now, just sit there and focus on your breathing."

Thankfully she does as instructed, and before we know it our flight is called and we're in the air.

"How is Kelley doing?"
