Wilder Dreams

Chapter 47

It's game day, and I'm pretty excited. The only thing that's been on my mind though. Is Alex, the day we got back from the store. I saw someone I wish I hadn't seen in the lobby. It upset even more that I haven't talked to Alex in 2 days. I avoided her at all costs. I've even told Vanessa that I couldnt go out. I told her how I have kids and my girlfriend wants to spend some time in the city with us.. but that's a lie. The kids say hi to her every now and then, but it's like they knew I was upset with her. The person that also hasn't been sitting with Alex.. is Tobin.

"Mom can we see Tobin? I also want to give her back her Nintendo" Conner tells me, I nod, and I lock the hotel door because Savannah is sleeping. We walk to Tobin's door, and he knocks on it. After a few seconds, we hear shuffling. Then the door swings open.

"Oh hey kiddo, what's up?" She tells Conner, and she looks up and gives me a smile. I on the other hand, just stare at her blankly. Conner gives her back the Nintendo.

"Thanks Conner, where's Savannah?" Tobin asks him, we hear a door open. I see Alex coming out of the room.. looking really nice. Like she's going out for a fancy breakfast. Wait... right, I'm not surprised anymore. Tobin sees also, her mood changes.

"I was talking to my sister on the phone, I have to go" she tells us quickly but not before ruffling conners hair and giving him a smile. We walk back to the room, and we see Carli's back.

"Hey do you mind watching them real quick? I have to talk to someone... privately" I ask her, she nods. I walk back to Tobin's room. I knock on it, she opens the door and Immediately walk into the room.

"What is going on with you... two?" I ask her, I'm assuming it's something to do with Alex.. maybe she knows. She closes the door and limps over to her bed, and sits on the edge. Not meeting my eyes. She sighs

"I know about Servando" she tells me sadly, finally meeting my eyes. The first thing that comes to my mind is.. did she know all along? Was she in on it?  But Tobin wouldn't do that to me. It's hard to process things like this, don't know whether to blame myself for believing she was over him, or to be mad at her for lying..

"I'm sorry Sa-" I cut her off by putting my hand up motioning to stop. I shake my head, and I take in a deep breath. I start to walk away, but she grabs my wrist. I'd be lying if I said I didn't feel anything from that sudden touch. I turn back to look at her. She brings me in for an a hug. I melt into her arms, because honestly I need a hug.

"I can live with Alex not talking to me, but you... I can't" she tells me bring me closer to her body. We hear someone open the door and in comes Mal, she gives us a smile. We hear footsteps from the hall coming this way

"Hey Mal can I barrow your-" Alex walks in but stops talking as soon as she sees Tobin and I in each others embrace. She looks at us upset, but I should be the one feeling that way. All of a sudden you can go around seeing Servando but I can't hug my damn bestfriend. Mal stops between the view of Alex and Me. She looks at me and then back at Alex.

"Oh shit" she says and then quickly walks out of the room. Tobin unwraps her arms from around me.

"What the hell is going on here?" She asks us sternly, mostly eyeing Tobin. I step towards her a little, but Tobin grabs my wrist.

"What? It's against the law for my bestfriend to comfort me when I'm upset?" I tell her angrily. My blood boiling right now, I usually don't get mad but when I do.. it's not pretty.

"Oh shit I forgot.. Are you okay Alex? Do you need comfort? Oh wait.. you have servando for that. Sorry guess I can't go around sharing my hugs" I tell Alex sarcastically, I'm making her uncomfortable. She looks guilty.

"Gosh you know the least you could do, is be honest with me instead of trying to be the victim here, you're upset about Tobin hugging me? How would you feel if I was texting Vanessa and not paying attention to you, better yet keeping it from you. Going out with him, and ha he was even in the lobby" I tell her laughing, it's a very complicated feeling. You know when you're angry that you could laugh, but feel so much more. I sigh and smile, I look back at Tobin.

"See you on the bus" I tell her, wiggling my hand out of her grip. I walk to the door, passing Alex. I go back to my room. I see Carli and Conner playing around, and she tickles him. Even though I'm upset, I smile at the sight. They look up and smile at me. I walk to the bed and sit on the edge

"Why can't I marry you" I tell Carli laughing, but noo she's married to Brian ha

"I know right! We'd make a good couple" She tells me jokingly. She's great. Conner giggles at us. I look over to Savannah and I see she's still asleep. She was up last night playing with Mal and Lindsey. She feels like part of the young girls club, which is cute. I start to pack my bag, and I walk to the bathroom to change into my training kit. I walk back and I put on some sneakers. I come back and Conner is wearing Carli's Jersey, I shake my head laughing. Carli probably convinced him to wear it. I walk to where Savannah is laying

"Hey Goldie, wake up beautiful. We'll be leaving for the game soon" I tell her shaking her shoulder lightly. She starts to get up, I put Tobin's Jersey on the bed for her. When it's time to go, we head out down to the lobby. Tobin's already here, she waves me over, and the kids take a row behind us. Mostly because Savannah wanted to take the seat on the edge because Mal will be next to her. Tobin hands Conner a Nintendo switch. She turns her on, and I'm assuming they'll be playing the whole bus ride to the stadium.
