Baylee was having problems sleeping.

The tossing and turning, it was nonstop.

She sat up and moved to where she was sitting at the edge of her bed.

She got up off the bed and headed into the living area of the Eagles.

"Why you up" Alex asks as he was awoken by her when she left the bunk room.

"I couldn't stop thinking about her Alex. I miss her so much and my old teammates aren't even talking to me. It's all stupid" Baylee says laying her head on his shoulder.

"Are you up for telling me what happened" Alex asks.

"It was the night of October 25. That night we had won a volleyball game that was major and we're heading to conference because of it. To celebrate we had a party at Becca's house. Lucy's mother and father had recently divorced so she went to see him on the down low. Next day we find out she's dead, hit by a drunk driver." Baylee says

"Baylee I'm so sorry" Alex says grabbing hold of Baylee's hand.

"I had been recruited by Louis for the Greenhouse two years prior but had to politely turn him down. The team was everything I was. It made me who I am. We were the best in state and my team needed me. But that all changed when Lou died. I didn't feel like I belonged. The team changed as a whole. We struggled to work together, we struggled to win. So I decided to come here to the Greenhouse to get away from all that but clearly it isn't behind me." Baylee adds.

"I'm glad you did" Alex says.

When Baylee finally fell asleep it was leaning into Alex who soon after fell asleep too.

Alex awoke to the sounds of camera clicks.

"Totally sending these to Hayley" Daniel says sending them to Alex's sister over his Louie.

"These will make a good second blog post" Sophie says with a small chuckle.

"Sophie please don't" Alex pleads.

There's a knock on the Eagles door and it was the other Woods sibling.

"Just thought I'd come see it for myself Alex" Hayley says laughing taking a couple pictures and sending them to their parents.

"Mom says cute and dad says don't get her pregnant" Hayley says laughing even harder before kissing Daniel on the cheek.

"Thanks Hayley" Alex says as Baylee wakes up.

"Morning sleeping beauty" Hayley says. "Just remember what dad said. Don't get her pregnant" she says walking out and to embarrass Alex.

"She's a pain in the ass" Alex says.

"Shit I'm so sorry Alex. I'm gonna go ya know get ready" Baylee says heading to the bunk room and grabbing her clothes out for the day.
