Strong- Christen Press

mom: rocky died last night y/n. im sorry you couldn't be here. we're burying him.

I dropped the phone out of my hands. I've had Rocky since I was 5. I felt my body sink against the wall of the hotel hallway.

My breathing picked up and I get tears pouring down my cheeks already. I heard the voice of my girlfriend, Kelley, Sonnet, and Lindsey.

I wiped the tears and tried to get up.

"Y/N? Are you okay?" I heard Lindsey ask and I turn and bite my lip trying to hold it together until I get back to the room.

Then a vision of my throwing the ball to Rocky in the background made me crack. I shook my head no. Christen immediately rushed to my side, because I'm not one to cry.

I started sobbing in her arms and she rubbed my back. Lindsey joined in on the hug along with Kelley and Sonnet.

"Rocky passed away last night." I cry out into her shoulder. "I didn't even get to say goodbye. He was my bestfriend."

"Aw, Baby. I'm here. I know it hurts and it will but he's up there in doggy heaven smiling down on you. He wants you to smile and be happy." Christen said.

"i miss him" I cry out into her chest. "I didn't even get to say goodbye!" I sob out losing my breath.

"Honey, breathe. Breathe. I understand the pain, it's going to hurt. Some days, more than others. I know how you feel. Exactly how you feel." She says and kisses my cheek.

"You guys can just leave. Same with you Chris. I can handle this." I say trying to get up and be strong but Christen pulls me back into her.

"Who was there for me when my Mom died?" Christen said seriously looking into my eyes.

"Me.." I say and she nods.

"You were. Y/N was there. I will not leave you now." She says and rubs my back. "Let's go get changed."

I nodded and she picked me up. I wrapped my hands around her neck. She walked into our room and sat me on the bed.

"Wanna wear my sweatshirt?" She asks and I nod. "Of course. Was that even a rational question?" She asks and turns with her sweatshirt in hand. I giggle and she smiles. "There's that gorgeous laugh."

I grab her sweatshirt and take off my shirt and pull the sweatshirt over my sports bra.

"Come here." Christen says getting into the bed and motioning to the open spot next to her.

I climb up and cuddle into her chest, wrapping my arms around her waist and turning on my side slightly. Christen moves her hands under my sweatshirt and rubs my back softly.

"I love you and you are so strong." She whispers.

"I learned it from you. Oh and I kinda love you too" I say and I hear her gasp. "I love you Chris! Don't get your panties in a twist."

"Only for you." She says and giggles.

"Night night." I say and kiss her neck.

"Goodnight lovey."
