Lindsey and Emily were siting on the train that took them to the downtown mall. They had been back for a few weeks, doing absolutely nothing since soccer was now over. They went to all their classes and then back into their rooms. This was the first weekend the two decided to go out.

They sat on the train, in their own area with not many people surrounding them. They were never fans of a lot ofPDA, they mainly did it around their friends but around new people they tend to keep their hands to themselves. Now that soccer has ended the have finally been able to see what it's like to be in a relationship without the feeling of needing to hide their relationship from the team.

Emily looked over at her girlfriend who was staring at her phone. She leaned over and kissed Lindsey's jaw which made her head turn.

Lindsey was looking in her eyes, "What was that for?"

"Just...happy" Emily said with a smile

"Me too Em" the train came to a stop and the doors opened

Emily took Lindsey's hand and led her out of the train. As they walked up to the downtown area it was beautiful. The buildings looked so pleasing to the eye, they were older and outdated but that's what gave it charm. It was still cold outside with an overcast so it made the area light up in a way. The lights streamed from building to building, tree to tree. There were many restaurants and antique stores that it overwhelmed their brains.

"It's so pretty" Lindsey whispered under her breath

"I know" Emily smiled

"Why did you not show me this sooner.." Lindsey continued as she started walking

Emily jogged to catch up, "we didn't really have...time"

The floors were damp from the rain that fell the night before. The smell of rain, such a distinct smell, made Lindsey's face hurt from smiling

"Come on" Emily grabbed her girlfriends hand and took her towards the first store.

The two girls walked around, not really looking but spending a good amount of time in each store. Every now and then Emily would pick something up that made Lindsey burst out in laughter.

The two got hungry after the third one and decided to get food. They sat on the same side of the table. Now looking over the menus Lindsey turned to Emily,

"I love you, you know" she said

"I know" Emily smiled back at her, "I love you too."

The two girls ordered their food and sat there enjoying their time alone.

Once they finished, Emily paid saying it was her "souther hospitality." They were able to walk through a few more shops before having to catch the train back.

"Hey Sonny" Rose said unenthusiastically once Emily entered her room

"Glad to hear your so excited to hear me" she said laughing

"Well I am but I'm sad, I mean we only have one more year here. Remember when we were freshmen and we met for the first time?" Rose asked her

"Of course, I knew from that day you'd be the best thing that would happen to me" Emily said thinking back to the meeting

~~

Emily and her mom walked into the dorm. The room already had boxes all over the place. Emily's mom didn't look to excited about the mess but she found it funny.

According the girl at the front desk, her roommate had been here a couple of days. She walked into her room with expectations way too high...

All the walls in the room were bare. Not much had been unpacked, except some blankets and pillows. The room had no character to it. She did manage to see a soccer bag in the corner of the room which confirmed she was in the right room.

"Hello?" Emily yelled into the room

"Oh hi!" Rose said in a higher pitched voice, popping out from behind two boxes stacked onto of each other

The girl was short. Shorter than Emily and her mother. She had brunette hair, blue eyes, a nice body, and was extremely pale. I mean you could never tell the girl was a soccer player. She was pretty Emily noted, but not her type. The girls energy radiated off the walls which gave Emily a good feeling.

"I'm Emily" she stuck out her hand

"Rose, sorry for the mess I hate cleaning. They should really give you people to help with the unpacking and decorating, I absolutely love it here..." She said turning to the boxes

Emily knew the girl was lying but she found it funny so she went along with it.

"We'll that's part of the experience" Jane said walking out from behind her daughter

"Well then I quit and we haven't even started" Emily laughed, "Let me push my boxes to my side, if I have enough strength to do so" Rose said turning back to the boxes

~~

"From that day I knew our room was always going to be a mess" Emily joked

"It isn't surprisingly" Rose said looking around at the clean room

Nothing much in the past years have changed. The energy still bounces off the walls in there. Boxes are occasionally seen, and the jokes never stop. They keep each other going.

"I don't even know how you managed to get all of that stuff into the room" Rose laughed at her comment, "but why are you even thinking about next year...this year hasn't ended yet"

"Yea I know, I just thought that soon we'll be off doing our own things. Hopefully still playing soccer but who knows if we'd play for the same team. Most likely not and...I'm going to miss you" She started mumbling at the end

"Did you just say you were going to miss me..aww Rosie" she pulled Rose into a hug. Rose instantly backed out

"I didn't" she said with a straight face

"We should get an apartment next year" Emily mentioned plugging in her phone to charge

"Why?" Rose questioned

"...you like the dorms?" She asked looking at her friend

"I mean they're comfortable..."

"Rose you'd rather live in a dorm than an apartment?" She questioned

"Where are we going to get the money? Plus it wouldn't just be US two, it would be Lindsey too" Rose pointed out

"My parents..you realize my family is wealthy. My mom would be willing to do because she knows my dad would"

She felt bad bringing her dad in but they all know that it's what he would want. Just for his little girl to be happy.

"Yea but I have to pay some, and I'm not going to have a job on top of being a D1 soccer player" Rose added

"People do it, don't act like it's impossible. Plus I might have to get one too if my mom doesn't want to help.."

"I mean it would be cool. We could find one so all four of us can live in..well five" Rose joked

"She will be there..all the time" Emily laughed

"Speaking of her how was your date?" Rose asked

"Great, it was cute. In more than one way. She was so amazed by the little area, she was so cute" She said smiling

"It warms me to know that this is genuine happiness from you" Rose said looking softly at her friend

"It makes me feel good. I don't have to lie to myself or pretend to feel a feeling. It actually feels really good" She said looking at the ceiling

"You just said the word feel way too many times"

She threw a pillow at Rose, "You get what I mean"

Rose thinks back in time, "Maybe Junior year was good. I shouldn't dwell on it being the end, I should be happy. A lot of good came out of it"

"Yeah a lot" She said thinking about her girlfriend, "and we still have more left"

~~

It was now the beginning of February. Not much happened, Emily and Lindsey had a lot more private time and it was helping bringing them more together. The girls would go out and play a pick up game every Friday night and reminisce about the past season.

"Man, remember when Emily was shitting her pants after seeing Lindsey and her parents walking over to her mom" Sam brought up which made the girls laugh

"Hey it was a stressful moment. Everything is good now" Emily said in defeat

"Is it?...because there's a feeling inside me that it still happens" Rose added on

"It doesn't Rose. Seriously everyone who needs to know, knows so were good"

"Doesn't mean you won't shit your pants the next time" Lindsey added getting a death stair from her girlfriend, "Sorry I had to"

"Guys believe in our girl, she's doing great" Mal added in

"Thanks Mal"

"You're only saying that because you did the same" Rose pointed out

"Rose if you had someone in your life, you'd know the feeling, but you don't" Mal called her out

"Alright that's it" Rose got up, "come on square up little one"

"No" Mal said the same time Sam got up

"Now Rose that's very irrespons-" Sam quickly pulled Mall off the floor

"Fight, fight, fight" Lindsey and Emily chanted from behind them

Rose stood in the same boxer position while Mal stood straight up with her hands to the side

"Rose I'm not going to fight you-"

Rose started charging her, pushing her to the ground, "oof" they both grunted

Emily was now laughing burring her face into Lindsey's shoulder. Lindsey was laughing so much tears were falling, while Sam pulled Rose off of Mal.

It was nights like these the five girls knew they were everything to each other.

~~

Emily and Lindsey now laid in bed out of breath. Lindsey rolled onto her side cuddling into the other girl, their bodies fit perfectly together.

"Spring break is soon. I was thinking since I went to Georgia...you should come to Colorado" Lindsey said

"Yeah?" Emily said looking down at her

"Yeah, I want to show you it all. Mainly why it's the best state" Lindsey said with a yaw

"Mkay" she laughed into Lindsey's hair

The younger girl lifted her head, "We can do a lot. I have connections" Lindsey said raising her eyebrows

"Oh yea? Connections..?" Emily asked

"So that we can do more of this..privately" she softly kissed Emily's lips

"I like that" Emily mumbled into the kiss

A few seconds later they pulled away and Lindsey rested her head on Emily's chest, they laid like that for a second until Emily decided to speak up again.

"Me, Rose, Mal, and Sam might look for an apartment for next year.." She whispered

"Oh really?" Lindsey lifted her head again

Emily brushed back a piece of the younger girls hair, "Yeah. We didn't include you because we know either way you will be there everyday"

"Who said" Lindsey looked at her

"Me, you better be there"

"Of course I will be" Lindsey smiled

Emily looked at her girlfriend confused, "Why do we have serious conversations after sex? It seriously happens every time"

"I know" Lindsey laughed

"I can't wait for next week" Emily kissed her forehead

"Me either" Lindsey was still smiling so much she was at a point where it hurt.
