As Lindsey walked into the weight room she heard cheering and shouting. She knew it had to have had something to do with her girlfriend. As she turned the corner she spotted her girlfriend dancing in the middle of a crowd of girls.

She shook her head and walked over to a cubby to set her bag down. She checked her phone one more time before someone tapped her shoulder.

She turned around and saw one of the other freshmen Regan, the girl was a forward. She didn't get many starts but she was really good. It never made sense to Lindsey

"Hey" she said

"Hi, can I sit" she pointed to the spot next to her

"Sure" she moved over a little

"I always love the energy Sonnett brings into the room" Reagan said smiling at the group of girls

"Yeah she's pretty chaotic" she said

"Pretty and chaotic, you're lucky your friends with her..." The other girl pointed out

"Yeah...she is pretty and chaotic" Lindsey forgot none of the team knows that they are dating

"I wonder who's she's playing now." Lindsey turned her head to the other freshman, "you've heard about that right?"

"Yeah, but people change..." Lindsey answered

"I don't know...players don't normally change their ways that easily. I heard she was dating some girl from her sociology class"

"I'm pretty certain that's a rumor. She would have told me if it was true"

"Are you guys really that close?" Reagan asked

"yeah..we're very close" she said looking back at the other girl

"Maybe you could mention me..you know in conversation"

"I'm not going to do that" she said turning back to the other girl

"Why not?"

"Because she's not looking for anyone, trust me" Lindsey said

"Fine but when she is let me know"

"I won't" she smiled at the other girl

"Whatever, come on" she saw Emily walking over to them

"I'll be there in a second"

Reagan nodded her head, "Emily.." She greeted the older blonde as she walked away

"Reagan, Linds" she sat where Regan just got up from

The two girls just looked at each other and smiled

"Did you have fun entertaining the group?" Lindsey asked

"So much. How are you?"

"Besides the fact that I was just told you were dating some girl from your sociology class...I'm doing great" she got up from her seat

Emily almost laughed, "Linds you and I both know that's not true"

"I do know that's not true. It just sucks you stuck with this 'player' label and now everyone thinks that's what your going play every girl you're with because supposedly people can't change" Lindsey pointed out

"I'm sorry, I know. I did that to myself and I wish it didn't effect you but it does. I want to change it" Emily felt disappointed in the character she made herself become

"Then let's go public. We have nothing to lose. Our relationship is healthy and has been for a while. Of course there was that one mishap but I'm certain that won't happen again."

"I just don't want something to happen and everyone who says I'm still a player is right"

"Just because we break up doesn't mean you're a player. I don't know about you but I don't see us breaking up"

"I don't either" Emily agrees, "but maybe not right now is the best time to do so" she looked around the room

"Okay, but sometime soon...because Reagan has a huge crush on you" Lindsey smiled and walked away

Emily shook her head and walked over to Rose. She hasn't talked to Rose at all about anything that happen in Colorado, but she was planning on it.

The session was over about 2 hours later and the girls all walked out together with Reagan trailing behind Lindsey and Emily.

"Have you told anyone?" Lindsey asked the older blonde

"About...?" She questioned

"What happened in Colorado"

"No, I was going to tell Rose tonight, but I won't if you don't want me to" Emily stuttered

"You can I was just wondering" Lindsey confirmed

"Linds I don't have to" she justified

"Em, I know you need to talk to someone about it so you might as well tell her. It's not healthy if you keep stuff locked up their" she pointed to her girlfriends head, "I've witnessed it"

"You're hilarious" Emily exaggerated

"I'll see you tomorrow?" Lindsey asked

"Breakfast" she confirmed and walked off with Rose, Sam and Mal

Lindsey slowed down to read the text that she had received

Sarah- gonna b out tonight, hang out tmrw?

Now Lindsey had no idea what she'd do all night. Alone in her room,

"Lindsey..?" She heard Reagan's voice

"Yeah?"

"Colorado...?" She questioned

"What about it?" Lindsey asked curiously

"You and..."

"Oh, I can explain" she looked around and saw the rest of the team, "do you want to come to my room" the other girl nodded her head

"Okay come on"

Linds- ok cool, and yeah tmrw sounds good

The two girls walked up to the room in silence. Reagan trailed behind Lindsey...

"Okay I have a great explanation...I just need to know you won't repeat a word to anyone" she looked the other girl dead in the eye as the door closed behind them

"I won't"

"Alright...me and Emily have been dating...for um...a while...and we just decided not to tell anyone" Regans mouth dropped

"Is she cheating on you?" She asked referring back to the conversation they had earlier

"NO, no she's not. I don't know where you got that information from. We went to Colorado for spring break, because I went to Georgia for Christmas. Some shit happened while we were there, and not good shit but it's fine because we're fine"

Reagan just sat there

"Reagan...no one on the team knows except coach, I need you to promise you won't tell any of the girls. At least not yet because we aren't ready to tell them"

"How did this even happen..?" she questioned "I mean you're a freshman and she's a junior...how?"

"It's a long story but if you have time I can tell you" Lindsey would rather spend the whole night telling this story than spend it alone in her room

She sits down on her bed while the other girl takes a seat in the near chair, as she proceeds to tell the story. Lindsey went into detail. The first trip to Colorado. The break up, getting back together. Georgia, the second trip to Colorado and everything in between.

"Woah, I would have never expected any of that" Reagan said shocked, "all of this happened under our noses and only three people knew about it?"

"Yep...we have pretty amazing friends" she smiled

~~

Emily and Rose made a plan to catch up since it had been a week since they had seen each other. Rose still had no idea what went down the past week and she was in for a ride.

"Rosie...?" Emily put her phone down

"Yeah" she said looking up from her bed she was laying in

"There's something I didn't tell you that went down in Colorado...I told you it went great, but that was a little bit of a lie" her voice raised at the end

"What do you mean..? You and Lindsey are fine right?" Rose rushed out

"Yeah we're great, don't worry" she clarified, "It's about Lindsey's past...something I just learned myself"

"Okay..."

"We both know that Lindsey went home for thanksgiving..well while she was there, she had an encounter with her ex-boyfriend" she said briefly

"Mhm" Rose confirmed she was listening

"And she told him that she was...well...gay. He wasn't the most happy person there, but anyways he left her alone that night and didn't reach out. So when we arrived there her parents told us we were having dinner with his family" she continued

"Yeah"

"And I could tell she was stressed, but she refused to tell me anything...I finally got it out of her. It was just a little too late because they were already there. Long story short he was there with his girlfriend and the girlfriend happens to be, get a load of this.." Emily stopped and Rise raised her eyebrows

"Her ex best friend...the one she use to like" she reminded the other girl

"Oh fuck" she said relatively loud

"Yeah, and basically it somehow spilled that we were dating..I think she told them. They ended up leaving before dinner ever started and Lindsey ran away. She came back later and told me that her friend came to her 'spot' and they talked it out. So I guess they are on good terms? But yeah she ended up breaking up with him" Emily finished explaining

"Oh my god Sonny, why didn't you tell me?"

"I didn't know if Lindsey wanted me to" she confessed

"Are you okay?" Rose asked

"I'm fine...it hurt a bit, in the moment, that she didn't tell me but I wasn't going to make it my problem. It was obvious she was struggling."

"How did her parents react?"

"They were fine...surprisingly"

"Well how do you fell now that you told me...?"

"So much better" she sighed

The two girls spent the rest of the night doing the same things they have been doing since freshman year. Watch movies and laugh at stuff that isn't even funny.
