Gone 2 Long (Christen Press/You)

Chapter 22

Y/N POV

I was unbelievably relieved that Peyton isn't mine. The only thing that's sucks is, Emily has no idea who's baby Peyton is. She's been doing good thus far taking care of her so I guess she could just carry on how she has been.

Tomorrow morning we'd be heading back to Utah and I was a bit nervous. I haven't talked to Christen about my plans with the marines. Well to be honest, I don't know exactly what I'm doing... yes I know I said that before.

Braelynn and I sat in the box as we watched the team play. The game was basically over since it began. The girls' score was 3-0 before the half, now in the 85th minute the score is 6-0. Like I said, it was over before it began.

But real question here, am I the only one who thinks Marta's facial expressions can be kind of scary?

Anyway, as the game began to wind down, Christen gets wrapped up with a defender before the defender pushes her on the ground. The ref immediately pulling out a red card and checking on Chris.

I began to panic on the inside because she didn't get up. "Is mommy okay?!" I didn't know what to tell her. "Come on." I pick Braelynn up making sure our passes were noticeable so we could go down to the ground.

One of the USWNT team staff members noticed me telling me to come down as Christen started to head towards the back with the medical staff. We followed behind with Kelley also joining us.

We approached the women's locker room and Chris had her hand on her face. Braelynn was allowed to stay with Chris, at her request. The medical staff made us wait outside the locker room and Kelley kept staring at me.

"We're you just like, never going to tell me you and the one in there were messing around again."
My eyes widened as I stared back at her.
"Who told you that?!"
"She did, dude come on. I don't like being left out of the tea."
"I'm sorry it's just the Tobin she-"

Just as I said her name. She appears heading to the locker room with urgency. I rolled my eyes as she walked past me.

Well since she gets to walk in there so do I.
I turn around with Kelley following behind and re enter the room.

"So Christen, you're fine. We just wanted to check because that was a hard fall. If your head starts to hurt at all later, let us know. But take it easy. Rest on your next few days off."

"I'll make sure she rests up." Tobin and I said at the same time before staring at each other. Kelley mumbles under her breath "awkward" before cracking a smile.

"She's going back to Utah, I live in Utah. I'll make sure she's okay."
"Okay and you act like I don't have the means to just fly back there."
"Why go through all that trouble, Tobin. You live in Portland you play in Portland. Don't you have a game coming up?"
"Don't you have somewhere else to be? Why are you even-"

"Okay, Jesus Christ. Just shut up. Both of you. Tobin can you pack up my stuff?"
"Of course babe." Tobin bends down giving Christen a kiss making me gag internally.

"Y/n be nice please. I know it's frustrating to see but-"
"I know Chris. We'll see you at the hotel."

Chris nods as I walked out of the locker room with Braelynn.

. . .

Braelynn laid fast asleep next to Christen in her bed. We were in Christen and Tobin's room since I wanted to check up on her. Tobin was currently not here but Kelley was so she could question us of course.

"So, the sex has returned too?"
"Kelley, why do you need to know?" I asked making her smile.
"It's just a question and by that answer, that's a yes. Just don't pop anymore babies out Chris."
"Not planning on it. One is enough for now." Christen said as she stroked our daughters hair lightly.

"So what is going to happen with you and Tobin?"
Kelley continues.
"Still working on that and babe I truly appreciate your patience."
I mumble an mmhm before the door opens.

And she's back.

"I got you some ice and something to drink. How's your head feeling?"
Tobin asks as she walks over to Christen.
"Her heads fine."
"I wasn't asking you, Y/n."

"I'm just telling you what I already know."
Tobin ignores me before turning her attention back to Chris.

"Babe, do you need anything?"
"No I'm fine."

"Chris, I'm gonna head out. Are you keeping B?"
"Why are you leaving?"
"I just am."

I knew she wanted me to stay but I'm not sticking around with her side piece... well technically I'm the side piece but I know who's superior and that's me so.

Tobin does the most when I'm around. There can only be one reason for that.

She feels threatened by me. Understandable. I'd be threatened by me too if I were her. I mean, I literally stole her girlfriend right from underneath her.

But she's not ready for that conversation yet.

"Can you stay a little longer?"
"Chris, she wants to leave let her leave."

"Well Tobin, she clearly wants me here. So I'll stay."
Kelley takes a seat on Tobin's bed looking back and forth between the two of us.

"No she doesn't."
"Bro she literally just asked me to stay a little longer. Are you hard of hearing or do you have selective hearing? Cause that was plain English."
"Can you just leave my room?"
"Once again, I'll leave when Chris wants me to leave."

"Y/n honestly why are you here?! You barely give a fuck about Christen to begin with and you walk around like some big macho person but you're really not. You couldn't even take care of your own daughter because you ran away from a situation and responsibilities but it seems like that's what you always do. Guess who was here taking care of her and picking up the pieces. Me. Because you're a shitty person that doesn't give a fuck about anyone but yourself. You left my girlfriend broken and I had to fix her. Part of the reason she doesn't like you, but you're not ready for that conversation."

"Oh shit." Kelley mumbled. Chris tried to get up with Braelynn blocking her exit of the bed.

I chuckled at Tobin's comments.
"I am so sorry Chris."
Christen looked at me confused.

"Look Tobin, open your eyes. You want to know why I'm here? Why I flew to California? Not just because my daughter wants me around, no, because your "girlfriend" wants me here. Ever think about that? And don't ever tell me I'm a shitty person or bring my child into this. I know my faults we've moved on from that and it had nothing to do with you. Still doesn't. Christen doesn't actually want you. Let me take it a step further. Riddle me this. If Christen supposedly doesn't like me, why have I been fucking your girlfriend?"

Tobin turns her head to Christen who's just staring back at her not knowing what to do.

"But you're not ready for that conversation, Tobin." I mocked.

Tobin's fist came up to meet my face Kelley quickly jumping into action and grabbing me before I could do anything.
"Tobin trust me you do not want to fight her!" Kelley yelled as the door opened and Julie, Ali, and Ashlyn walked in.

"What the hell is going on in here?" Ashlyn asked as she looked at us. Kelley still holding onto me as I wiped the corner of my mouth with my thumb.

"Kel let me go, imma head out. Chris, Braelynn can fly home with you."

I walk over kissing my daughter in the head before walking out the room. I wasn't dealing with anymore drama.
