Chapter 88

"and em i am sorry for being a dick to you. you were one of the best friend's i've ever had." he said.

"no hard feelings man." i said and patted his shoulder.

"i missed you caleb." i admitted.

"you too." he said and chuckled.

"well come on. there's another game soon." caleb led us to the stands and we sat down, watching.

elijah was in complete awe of slamball...yeah. SLAMball.

"hey elijah. how you doing buddy?" caleb asked elijah.

"sorry caleb. i'm on team hanna." he said.

i laughed, "burn."

"ouch. got it." he said and sat back.

"so what you think em? you gonna come play for us? we need a scorer." he asked.

"i-i don't know  caleb..." i said, unsure.

"it's fun out there. flying through the air. nothing like it." he said.

"I'm just worried my back can't take something like this right now." i explained.

"eh. it's not as bad as it looks. besides. there's springs in the floor. it's gonna be easier on your back than hardwood." he said.

"yeah but on a hardwood floor the other players can't knock you out man." i said.

"just remember...they can't hit you if they can't catch you." caleb said to me.

"UH!" SLAM!

"oh..." i said and winced at that slam against the glass wall.

"that won't be you." calebsaid.

i chuckled and scoffed.

at home that night

i was practicing in the front on our hoop when alison ran over, "did you make the team?" she said excitedly.

i walked over, "well, that all depends on what my wife thinks."

"this league is...different." i admitted to her.

she frowned, "different how?"

"well...it's called slamball."

her eyes widened in amusement and shock.

"it's called slamball?"

"yeah..."

she looked into the air, "that sounds...physical."

"it's not really...it's a lot of dunking and it's kind of..." 

i sighed and put my hands down to my sides.

"it's called slamball." i said and shook my head.

"uh..." alison said.

"look, here's the thing al. i'm not ready to give it up yet. but no team is gonna give me a tryout unless i prove that i am healthy. so i thought that this would...i don't know." i said and looked at her.

she stepped closer, making eye contact with me, "you really think you can still play?"

"i know i can." i said to her.

she looked at my chest and closed her eyes, "and no one else will give you a tryout?"

she sighed, "make that shot." she said, pointing to the hoop.

i nodded and got into position, throwing the ball to the hoop, getting it in with a swoosh.

she caught the ball, "okay. back up now and try again." she said and chuckled, tossing it to me.

i smiled and backed up, doing the same thing.

swoosh.

she threw it back, "one more time."

i listened and did it again, but from a further distance.

alison sighed and walked over with the ball in her hands, "they are crazy not to give you a tryout." she said.

she fiddled with the ball in her hands and sighed, "ugh." she handed it to me and i looked down at her.

she smiled, "go play slamball."

"yeah?"

"yeah. and this is officially a comeback emily fields." she said and put her hand behind my neck, pulling me into her soft and sweet lips that i love, oh-so much.

+++++++++++++++++++

i leaned my back against the wall as i watched alison in elijah's bed, holding him and tori was there too.

"hey you guys...you've been through a lot lately. how you two doing?" alison asked.

"i have nightmares sometimes." elijah said.

"yeah. i get scared." victoria admitted.

"you do? well...want to know a secret?" alison said.

they nodded, slightly looking up at her from her arms.

alison whispered, pointing at herself, "so do i."

she chuckled, "hey i have an idea, how about. i sleep in here tonight with you two? just in case i get scared?" alison said.

"okay. i'll protect everyone." elijah said, flashing a smile.

"oh! okay." alison said and got under the blankets.

i frowned, "What if i get scared?" i said.

they all turned to me smiling.

"i'll protect you too." elijah said and waved me over.

i chuckled, "my hero." i said and climbed on top of my family.

alison laughed and the kids giggled, "oh geez." elijah said.

i squeezed them all in my arms, "i didn't know it was gonna get this crowded!" victoria screeched.

i laughed and kissed both of them as we all cuddled.

i looked at alison and smiled as her blue eyes shimmered.

"i love you." i mouthed.

she smiled, "i love you more."

i shook my head, "not possible."

she giggled and we fell asleep in elijah's tiny bed, curled up together.
