Thank you, Kelley

Chapter 41

Meghan's POV:

I wake up in a dark room. As I become more awake I realize that I am entangled in two people's arms. Wait where am I? All I remember is falling asleep at practice. How the hell did I get here?

Both Kelley and Emily continue to sleep and I feel bad moving so I just lay in their arms. Speaking of arms, mine are all scratched up. What the hell happened to me? I tilt my head slightly and see that the clock says 7:48 pm.

Suddenly there is a knock at the door. I guess I should answer it. I untangle myself from the arms of the girls and make my way to the door. I open it and rub the sleep out of my eyes.

"Oh hey! Meghan. I wasn't expecting you to answer the door." Ash says. I look at her kind of confused and just yawn.

"Are you ok?" Ali asks from besides Ash.

"Yes...?" I respond but I don't really know. I am super confused.

"Are Kelley and Emily here?" I move out of the door frame slightly to let them in the room.

"Ya... they are asleep."

"Not anymore." A groggy Kelley says. Then recognition comes across her face and she gets up and pulls me into a tight hug.

"Kel?..."

"Ya?"

"What's going on?" we pull away from the hug and she looks at me with pity. By now Emily is awake too and Ali and Ash have come in and sat down on the empty bed.

"What do you remember?" She asks as he leads me back to the bed we were in. I flop down on my back not making eye contact with anyone.

"Um... just falling asleep at practice." Fuck. I must have had a panic attack or something.

Kelley confirms my suspicion. She lays down next to me.

"Huh... I don't remember any of it." I say to no in particular.

"It was pretty bad," Emily whispers. I can see there is residual fear in her face. Shit, it must have been really bad if I can't remember any of it. That doesn't normally happen.

"Well, we just wanted to check on you guys. We are going down to get dinner." Ash explains.

"Thank you guys," Kelley says as they get up and make their way out of the room. Everyone is acting kind of weird. Like there walking on eggshells. Fuck. It must have been really bad. And in front of the whole team too. Uhh...

"So dinner?" I ask as I sit up.

"Uh... If you want..." They both look very confused at me.

"Ya, I'm hungry."

"Ok let's go then." Emily hides her surprise and gets up and pulls me up with her. Before leaving I rummage around my bag and find my favorite sweatshirt. It's plain grey. It's much too big for me and it is no longer fuzzy like it used to be but it is perfect. It used to be my brothers. It is one of my comfort things. God, I miss him so much.

We make our way down to dinner and most people look surprised to see me. Well, they should get over it because I'm hungry.

The rest of the dinner goes without a hitch. The other girls are cautious around me at first but I do my best to be upbeat and show them that I am in fact ok. We also have team bonding tonight. Thankfully it's low key and we end up just watching a movie in Pinoe and Alex's room.

-----

We have had a few more days of training. It's been good. Emily and I have been enjoying our time together as well which is nice. She is taking me on a date tonight. I am exceptionally excited about it. We have an off day today.
