HAZE (On Hold)

Part 51

Hailee arrives home from class and finds Jade camped out on the couch with a game playing on the big screen and her laptop perched in front of her.

"S'up?"

"Hey, just catching up on the EPL games we recorded over the weekend and taking to Tessa."

"Tessa?"

Hailee looks at the screen on the laptop and smiles when she sees their friend on the screen, she sits down beside Jade.

"Hey, stranger, how are things going for you at UCLA?"

"Not getting a ton of playing time, but doing my best to stay positive and keep working hard."

"Maybe you should try playing in the midfield, you might get more playing time."

Tessa laughs, "Yeah, that's not going to happen; you remember how much of a fail that was at US camp."

"True, but only because you don't know your left from your right."

Hailee and Jade both laugh as Tessa shakes her head, "That was one time!"

"One time we will never forget because you ran straight into your own teammate and hit the turf."

"Whatever!"

They all laugh. 

"So, any prospects on the horizon, Tess?"

"Possibly, but it's early so I don't want to jinx it by talking about it."

"Okay. Well, I need to get started on my readings for tomorrow; I'll let you the two of you get back to arguing over whether Liverpool or Chelsea is better. Later, Tessa."

Jade grabs her arm and shakes her head, "You can't leave yet, we have something to tell you."

"What's going on? Why do the two of you all of a sudden look like someone just died?" 

"Aurora." 

Hailee looks at Jade and then Tessa on the screen, "What about the witches' spawn?"

"She's at USC." 

"Okay and ... oh, shit we play them, don't we?" Hailee looks over at Jade, who nods her head.

"What should I do? Do you think that she will try something? Should I call my Dad?" 

Jade takes her hand, "We don't want to see anything happen to you Haze, that's why we wanted you to know. It seems like she's going by a different last name now, but according to the profile and pic on the site, it's her." 

"Damn it! I wish Dylan was here, she would be able to tell me what I should do." 

"I think that you should call your Dad and let him know; didn't he have some sort of order put into place so that she had to stay away from you?"

"Yeah, but I'm not sure if it's still valid." 

"Call your Dad, Haze!" Hailee nods stands up and reaches over to hug Jade. "Thanks, Tessa. We'll talk soon." 

"Bye Haze." 

Hailee heads into her bedroom and closes the door. 

"Do you think that she'll be okay, Jade?" 

Jade looks at Tessa on the screen and nods, "I think so. I should get back to working on my assignment. Stay out of trouble, T." 

"I'll try and keep me apprised of everything, okay?" 

"I will, good luck with the Florida teams." 

"Thanks. Bye Jade, don't forget to tell your girlfriend to message me sometime."
