Thank you, Kelley

Chapter 40

Meghan's POV:

I wake up to someone gently running my shoulder. "It's time to wake up." I hear Emily's voice whisper. I groan slightly. I'm tired and don't want to get up. I open my eyes and am met by the most beautiful girl in the world

"Mm morning," I whisper to her. "I don't want to get up. Why don't you just go? I'll just sleep all day." I hear her giggle.

"Ya... not going to happen. Come on get up." No. I don't want to. Suddenly she pulls the covers off both of us.

"Hey! No!" I laugh as she tries to drag me out of the bed. "Ok fine." I sit up and just stare at her.

"Like what you see?" She says as she bites her lip. Umm yes. How could I not? She stands there in tight booty shorts and an oversized t-shirt. Her hair falls loosely around her face. I just blush and smirk at her.

We move on and get ready. The girls have practice this morning. I get dragged to them every time even though all I can do is sit on the sidelines. I have been doing some training with the AT's but I still am not allowed to practice with the team. I am definitely starting to get pissed off about it. It wouldn't be bad If I didn't have to sit and watch them practice but Jill is making me come to every practice.

The morning moves slowly but we make it to the field we have been using for practice. I got to hang out with Rose on the way here. We have become very close which I appreciate. She also keeps me laughing. Well, the whole team does really.

The girls make their way out onto the field to start practice. I kicked a ball around with one of the AT's for a while. Nothing too strenuous. Just keeping my form up. After a while, he tells me I am done for today so I just sit down amongst the girl's bags. I don't have anything to do. Kelley and I decided that I would be taking online classes to finish up a high school which I appreciate. But I don't start until the new year so it's not like I have any school work to do. Also, we agreed that I'm going to join a club team in Salt Lake. We are going to meet them the week we go back after camp. I am simultaneously nervous and excited.

I sit in the sun just enjoying the warmth. The girls run back and forth in front of me. I attempt to watch their technique like Jill told me to but it's very boring. As the sun warms me I can feel my eyelids growing heavy. I look over at Jill and see she is focused on the players on the field. I decided I might as well just sleep.

I slid over slightly so I could use Kelley's bag as my pillow. Within moments sleep takes over.

Kelley's POV:

We have been doing passing drills for what feels like hours now. I can tell all the girls are starting to get fed up. I mean we all agree they are important but you can only do the same action so many times before it gets really boring. Finally, Jill gives us a break and we all walk slowly to the sidelines.

"KELLEY?!" I heard an urgent shout from Lindsey. I look up to see her kneeling next to Meghan.

She looks back at me with fear in her face. I pick up my pace and reach the two in a matter of seconds. As I get closer I see Meghan still asleep but her face is scrunched up in pain. She squirms and moves around. I can see her chest rising and falling quickly.

Shit. She must be having a nightmare and it's going to turn into a panic attack in a minute.

"AHH!" She groans out in pain. Her eyes still tightly shut.

I immediately kneel down next to her. I gingerly put my hand on her shoulder hoping she won't take a swing at me like she did the other day. "Hey... Wake up, Meghan. It's just a dream." She pulls away from my touch as her eyes shoot open.
