HAZE (On Hold)

Part 27

A few days have now passed and soon it's time for the second game against their Canadian counterparts.

Hailee, Amanda and the rest of the American contingent are currently listening to their Coach babble on about? Most of them have already zoned out and don't have a clue.

"Right, Captain?"

"Hailee?" Amanda nudges her, "Yes, Coach." "Good."

Hailee turns to Amanda, "What did I just agree too?"

Amanda laughs, "They were talking about communication on the field and that it was lacking during the first game."

"Oh, ok."

"Next time pay attention, Babe."

"Sorry, but someone kept me up late last night."

"Someone, huh? Do I need to have a word with them about interfering with your beauty sleep?"

"I'd like to have more than a word with them after this meeting if it ever ends!"

Amanda laughs loudly, drawing eyes to them.

"Alright, ladies I'm done talking for now. Go relax and I'll see you all at the bus in a few hours."

Hailee, Amanda, Jade and Tessa all walk back to their rooms together.

Amanda stops at her room and Hailee gives her a pout face, "You sure you don't want to nap with me?"

Amanda smiles and kisses her, "I need a nap and you won't want to sleep."

"I promise, I'll be good."

"Promise?" Amanda looks at Hailee who smiles, "I promise."

"Okay."

They walk down the hall to Hailee and Jade's room and climb into the bed and under the covers.

"Did you set an alarm?"

"Yes and I'm sure Jade has as well."

"Yep!" Jade answers causing them to laugh.

They kiss before getting comfortable and allowing themselves to fall asleep.

Meanwhile, Dylan, Anna and Charles sit in a restaurant having brunch before the game. Dylan's phone keeps buzzing and when she smiles at the screen, Anna decides to call her on it.

"Dylan, phone away at the table or else you have to spill who is making you smile so much."

Dylan looks at her Aunt and Uncle and thinks about it before responding, "I've been seeing someone, his name is Mike and he plays football for Stanford. He's really smart and cute and funny."

"Does Ms Hailee know about this new football player in your life?"

"Yeah, we talked about him yesterday when we hung out. I really like him, Auntie."

Dylan's phone buzzes again and she looks at it and lets out a "So cute." Before typing away a response.

"Sorry, he's at his brother's house right now and they just had a baby; he sent me a picture of him holding Jaxon." Dylan turns her phone so they can see the picture.

"He's definitely an improvement in the looks department to that Adam? Allan? guy."

"It was Alex and he definitely is."

"It's nice to see you smiling and happy, Dylan; I know the past few years have been hard on you."

"It was difficult on Mom and me when Dad was diagnosed and then we felt helpless watching him fade away, but once he passed and we realized that he was no longer in pain it was easier for us to begin moving forward. I honestly don't know if I could have made it through without having Haze in my life though; we were both at a point in our life when we needed someone and then we met each other."
