Falling// Jack Avery

14

The next day you woke up to the sound of an annoying alarm. You wanted to turn it off but you knew you shouldn't, so you got out of bed and went to your bathroom to fix your hair. You decided to just leave it down since you were just going to school. You did light makeup and then went to your closet. You looked through all of your clothes and finally decided to wear a pair of jeans and a champion shirt with some white vans. You were dreading going to school but it would be over before you knew it. You got to school and people were already asking you about LA and the boys and a lot of people were wondering if you were dating Jack. It was already stressful and you were tired. Your classes loaded you with homework and new lessons which just over loaded your brain. That afternoon you had soccer practice. Soccer practice was the best thing that had happened all day. Afterwards you got your bags and got in your car and checked your phone which had a message from Jack asking you to call him so you did.

"Hey Jack" you said out of breath
"Hey, you sound like you just ran a mile, are you okay?" He asked
"Oh yeah, I just got out of soccer practice, I'm fine, what'd you want me to call you for?"
"Oh okay, and I just wanted to talk to you because I missed you" he said making you smile
"Well I miss you too, school is already stressing me out" you said
"Why"
"Well people just want to talk to me about LA and they want to know if we're dating and I have loads of homework and ugh it's just a lot" you said
"Well darn, have you told anyone about us"
"Well I told Allie because she just had to know but I haven't told any of my other friends because I don't want them to know until later on"
"Oh okay, is that all?"
"Well...when I was telling Allie, my mom walked in right as Allie said 'omg you're dating Jack Avery?' So my mom knows but she's promised not to tell because she knows what'll happen if she does" you said
"Oh okay well I told corbyn because he pretty much already knew but he's obviously not gonna tell anyone else and he wasn't really paying attention soo I don't even know if he knows"
"Oh okay....you know what" you said
"What"
"I want a smoothie"
"Wellllll go get one"
"Ok I will"

You pulled out of the school parking lot and drove to get a smoothie. The place you went to never had anyone there so you just stayed in there and talked to Jack and drank your smoothie. You were there for about 30 minutes and then Jack had to go, so you drove home and did your homework, took a shower, and then texted Jack goodnight and went to sleep.

Your next two weeks were pretty bland and boring and it was pretty much the same thing everyday. School, Soccer, Homework, Sleep, and repeat every single day. This Thursday-Saturday was the regional soccer tournament and it was a pretty big deal. It was in Houston, which is a few hours away, so you would be out of town with your team for a few days. It was Thursday morning and the team was leaving that afternoon. Y'all were leaving that afternoon so you could be well rested for the games tomorrow. You had everything packed and on the bus ready to go. Your day went by super fast and you were super excited. As soon as the day ended, you met up with Allie and loaded onto the bus. You texted Jack and told him y'all were on your way. You didn't think you would be able to call him until Sunday night or Monday because You, Allie, and two of your other team mates were roomies for the next few days and you didn't want the two girls to know about you and Jack. After 4 hours and a really good nap, you arrived at the hotel. Y'all unloaded your bags and went into your rooms. The room was fairly large and it was super nice. You and the girls talked for an hour because it was still too early to go to bed. They asked you a lot about you and Jack. You denied and just said y'all were best friends. They didn't believe you and kept asking about him. While y'all were talking about him, your phone started ringing. One of the girls looked down at it and it was Jack.

"If y'all aren't dating then why is he calling you?" She said
"Ugh y'all are annoying, I need to answer this" you said and laughed and answered
"Hey Maddie" Jack said
"Hey Jack, do you need something" you asked
"No, I just wanted to tell you goodnight on here because I wanted to just hear your voice today" he said making you smile
"Oh okay, well goodnight" you said with a smile still on your face
"Goodnight" Jack said and hung up
"We're just best friends I swear" one of the girls said mocking you
"What we are, we haven't talked all day" you said
"Mhm whatever, I don't believe you for a minute" she said
"Oh whatever" you laughed and rolled your eyes

Y'all eventually all fell asleep and you had a big day ahead of you. You woke up the next morning along with the other girls. Y'all got dressed into your uniform with your warm ups over it. Y'all went downstairs and met the team and had breakfast. Y'all ate light and semi healthy since you had a game in 2 hours. After y'all finished you got on the bus and drove to the stadium. Y'all always brought a speaker on the bus and listened to all sorts of music to get hype to. They started playing IDBITC and everyone looked at you and y'all laughed. Y'all jammed out to it and then you arrived at the field. You got out and one of the girls came up to you and asked you about Jack.

"So, how are you and Jack" she asked
"What do you mean?"
"Well y'all are dating aren't y'all?" She asked as if you were going to tell her
"We're just best friends" you said
"Whatever I saw your face when the song was playing"
"Well yeah because it's my brother and and some of my best friends, I'm proud of them" you said
"Okay, I guess that's a valid answer" she said and y'all laughed.

Y'all watched one game and then warmed up. You were so ready to play. The whistle blew and the game started. Within the first 10 minutes of the game you had scored a goal. Allie was on the bench during the first 15 minutes of the game so she videoed you playing so you could send it to the boys and Jack. You continued to play and by the end of the first half you had scored 1 goal and had 1 assist. Allie had a few videos of you playing. The second half began and you were in the whole entire time. By the end of the game y'all had won 4-2 and you had 2 goals and 1 assist. The team was pretty easy to beat but it was a good win.
