Ash: Not even Tobin and Christen
Me: I'll be there in ten minutes.
"I'm sorry, but we have to leave." I say and pick up Kelley. "Kelley will call you guys later."
Once in the hall I drag Kelley to the elevator.
"Come on...hurry the fuck up." I say and tap my foot.
"What's going on?" Kelley asks as we get into the elevator.
"Something's wrong with Mal. She won't let anyone in her room and they can't get her to come out."
"Fuck." Kelley says as we get to the lobby.
The two of us sprint out of our parents hotel and race back to the team hotel.
We took an Uber to our parents hotel.
Once at the team hotel Kelley and I sprint up the stairs and when we reach the team floor we find everyone standing outside Mal's door.
"Finally." Christen says. "She won't come out."
"Okay it's time for dinner so get everyone to the meal room." I say.
"Alright." Kelley says.
All the girls leave and once their out of view I knock on Mal's door.
"Mal...it's Astrid...Can you open the door for me?"
No response.
"It's just me Mal. Nobody else is out here."
No response.
"Alright Mal." I say then sit down and lean against the door. "I'm not leaving until you open the door."
Ten minutes later I hear the door unlock so I stand up and enter the room.
"Hey Mal." I softly say and approach her bed.
The room is littered with tissues and sad music is playing. Mal is in her bed cuddling her panda with my shirt on it while trying not to cry for what, I assume, is not the first time.
I then lay down on her bed so we are facing each other.
"What's wrong Mal?" I ask and run my fingers through her hair.
Mal tries to respond, but she starts crying.
"Come here." I say and pull her into me. "Just let it out."
"I hate him." Mal says after she's finished crying
"Who sweetheart?" I ask.
"My boyfriend. Well ex-boyfriend."
"Oh sweetie." I say and kiss Mal's head. "What happened?"
"He broke up with me...He said he couldn't do the distance this summer."
Oh I'm definitely breaking his fucking leg...Maybe a hand too.
"I'm sorry Mal."
"He made it seem like it's my fault I'm chasing my dreams."
"Well he's an idiot Mal...and he sucks at baseball." I say and Mal laughs.
"Thanks Astrid."
"Of course. Do you want to go eat?"
"I don't want to sit with the team."
"That's okay. You and I can sit by ourselves."
"okay."
Mal and I get off the bed then Mal goes to the bathroom and cleans off her face then we head to the meal room. When we get to the room everyone stops eating and looks at us causing Mal to turn around and bury her face in my chest.
