When Somebody Loved Me (Everything Was Beautiful) (Alex Morgan x Reader)

⚠️Trigger Warning: Child Abuse/Mentions of Child Abuse ⚠️
You closed your eyes, practicing the deep breathing you learned in therapy before your eyes open, the stadium where you would meet the USWNT looming overhead.
You knew you would see her, that you would have to see her, you were now working for her team after all, but the thought of your reunion made your stomach twist.
You could feel your chest tighten, a panic attack looming as you thought about your Y/E/C orbs meeting hers.
You wondered if they were still the same bright blues you remembered.
You shake your head rapidly, pushing those thoughts to the back of your mind.
Just because you were about to see each other again after so long, didn’t mean things were the same as they once were, she’d left you behind, and you didn’t think you could ever forgive her for that.
You didn’t know if you could ever forgive Alex Morgan for what she did, in all honesty, you weren’t sure if you wanted to.
With one final deep breath you slip out of your rental car and make your way towards the arena, mere minutes from reuniting with the woman that broke your heart.
************************************************************************
If there was one thing Alex Morgan didn’t expect, it was to see you making your way across the field towards her and the team, Emma Hayes at your side.
Her throat bobbed as she took you in.
You’d gotten taller, easily towering over her.
Your jawline was much sharper, and visibly clenched, something she used to get on you about when you were growing up.
The second your eyes met hers, her heart stalled in her chest, the Y/E/C orbs that would once soften when they locked with her blues, were now cold and sharp.
“Y/N...” Alex whispers when you’re in earshot and you glance her way.
“Do I know you?” You ask, a harshness to your tone that takes her aback, she’d never heard you speak that way, especially to her.
Her mouth opens and closes rapidly, the woman searching for anything at all to say, but it’s as if her vocal cords had stopped working.
Her teammates eye her curiously, their eyes darting between the two of you.
“Well, this is Y/N Y/L/N, she’s going to be our new trainer, she comes HIGHLY recommended, so try to make her feel welcome, okay?” Emma smiles, in no way missing the way Alex stares pleadingly at your profile.
Eventually, your eyes catch hers, her orbs the same bright blues that you often found yourself getting lost in years ago.
Alex isn’t able to utter a single word before you’re turning on your heels and moving towards the sidelines, Emma Hayes in toe.
Alex jumps when a hand settles on her back, a hand belonging to her longtime friend, Kelley O’Hara.
“Are you okay Al? Is something wrong?” She asks, able to read the woman’s face easily, picking up on the fact that she was incredibly upset.
“Ye-Yeah.” Alex stammers, her blues orbs burning holes in your back as you move out of sight.
“Everything is fine.”
**********************************************************************
The second Alex saw you, all the emotions she tried so, so hard to bury came rushing back, hitting her like a tidal wave.
She wasn’t prepared for the way you looked at her, your eyes hard and icy, a look she vaguely remembered when she spotted you in the hallways of your high school, your books hugged to your chest and a new bruise gracing your face or your arms, the woman knowing full well that more bruises were hidden beneath your clothes.
She knew deep down she deserved it; she severed ties with you when you needed her the most, and she could never wash away the guilt she felt every time you passed her in the hallway, your face twisted in a pained grimace.
That night, she stares at the ceiling, her blue orbs glassy as she remembers the first time, she saw signs of the abuse you were enduring at home.
***********************************************************************
“What are those from?” A small Alex Morgan asks as she points to the circular marks dotting your forearm, the skin a bright and angry red, the wounds fresh.
You shake your head rapidly, pulling your arm away from her.
“N-N-Nothing.” You mumble, the girl scoffing as she gently takes your arm, her blue orbs zeroing in on the sores covering your arm.
“What happened?” She asks and you shake your head, tears glistening in your Y/E/C orbs.
“Y/N...” She whispers, gently rubbing your arm, careful not to touch the marks.
“You can tell me anything...” She says, frowning when she sees a tear streaming down your cheek.
“What happened?” She asks again and you swallow, your mouth opening and closing before you croak out a single word.
“Dad.”
**********************************************************************
Needless to say, Alex didn’t sleep well that night, her mind racing, wondering if the wounds on your arm had increased in number.
She honestly wasn’t sure if she wanted to know.
Eventually, Alex dragged herself onto the bus that morning, her blue orbs immediately finding your Y/E/C’s.
You almost immediately turn away, as if you’re unable to look at her for too long.
She pauses, attempting to find something, anything to say to you, but again, she finds herself unable to speak.
She sighs in defeat before making her way towards the back of the bus, unaware that your eyes are on her, your nostrils flaring.
She had no right to speak to you, no right to even look at you, not after the things she’d done, not after she’d left you behind to be abused and neglected.
You growl, turning towards the front of the bus, your fingers curling around the seat in front of you.
If you had anything to say about it, you wouldn’t speak to Alex Morgan ever again, in reality, it wasn’t that you wouldn’t it was that you couldn’t.
**********************************************************************
Unfortunately, you’re forced to speak to her, the forward seeking you out when you reach the hotel, pushing her way into the elevator with you.
Your throat bobs as you stare blankly forward, your foot tapping and hands trembling, something Alex notices immediately.
“Y/N.” She whispers, her voice cracking, the sound pulling at your heartstrings, that sadness ebbing away a beat later.
“Y/N, you can’t ignore me forever.” She sighs and you shake your head.
“I told you; I have no idea who you are.” You say, the woman growling as you hastily exit the elevator, her hand catching your wrist, something that noticeably makes you jump.
“That’s bullshit Y/N, and you know--
Your lip curls in a snarl as you jerk your arm from her grasp.
“I USED to have a friend named Alex Morgan, but that was a long time ago.” You say through gritted teeth before turning on your heels and marching down the hallway, leaving a crestfallen Alex Morgan behind.
**********************************************************************
Despite the fact that your last interaction didn’t go well, Alex continued to try and speak to you, popping up seemingly everywhere.
Unfortunately, you would be on the road for a significant amount of time considering it was She Believes Season, the entirety of the team together more often than not.
The close quarters resulted in early mornings, and one morning, you’d made the mistake of rolling up your sleeves to your elbows, revealing the multiple scars littering your skin.
Alex stiffened the moment she saw them, tears filling her blue orbs as she saw the massive number of burns on your skin, burns she knew were made by the end of a cigarette.
She’s unable to keep the tears in her eyes at bay, tears streaming down her cheeks.
You pick your head up, the feel of someone staring at you setting the hairs of your arms on end.
Your eyes catch hers and your brows furrow, following her gaze to the scars dotting your arms.
Your eyes meet hers before dropping to your marred arm, your nostrils flaring as you turn away, tugging your arm out of view.
“Alex...?”
Alex jumps, her eyes meeting Kelley’s concerned brown orbs.
“Are you okay? Why are you crying?” She asks, watching as Alex wipes her tears away with the sleeve of her sweater.
“It’s alright Kel, it’s nothing.” She sniffles, her eyes burning holes in the back of your head.
Kelley eyes her profile worriedly before turning away reluctantly, wondering what it was that was troubling her so.
**********************************************************************
“When did that happen?” Alex asks when she catches you in the hallway on your way to your hotel room.
You turn on your heels, coming face to face with the woman you’d been trying to avoid, her blue orbs zeroed in on your scarred arm.
You pull your arm out of view, tucking it behind you.
“Like you care.” You bite, turning on your heels to take your leave.
“Y/N, you can tell me anything.” She whispers, her words stopping you in your tracks, taking you back to the day on the playground when you’d first told her that your father had burned your arm, when you’d first told her your father was abusing you.
“Like you don’t know.” You mumble, unable to turn to face her, tears stinging your eyes.
Your breath hitches when she slips around you, gently taking your wrist and inspecting your arm closely.
You’re unable to stop your heart from skipping a beat when she brushes the scars, her touch light and tender.
The scars were generally perfect circles, aside from those that overlapped, forming random shapes along your arm.
Alex frowned as she caressed the lumpy and disfigured skin, her eyes glazing over.
“Don’t act like you care.” You mutter, the forward frowning.
“I do care, Y/N.”
You scoff, pulling your arm out of her grasp, briefly missing the way her fingertips felt against your skin.
“If you cared Alex, I wouldn’t have these.” You growl, her throat bobbing.
“You can’t blame me for that Y/N, it isn’t fair.”
You bark out a laugh, the sound taking her by surprise.
“I wouldn’t have half the scars I do if it wasn’t for you. You abandoned me when I needed you the most, and for what Alex!?” You yell, surprised by the sound of your own voice and the anger in your tone.
Alex’s mouth opens and closes rapidly, the forward unable to find her words, that being enough to send you shoving passed her, your shoulder knocking hers as you make your way down the hall towards your hotel room, leaving the woman behind, just as she’d done to you.
That night, you can’t help but stare at your shirtless self in the mirror, the scars typically hidden beneath your clothes revealed, of course, to your eyes only.
How could you ever forgive Alex when your skin looked like yours?
How could you ever forgive the woman that you’d blamed for receiving them in the first place?
***********************************************************************
It was unsurprising to Alex that you put so much pressure on her during practice, as if getting back at her for all the pain she caused.
“Pick it up Morgan!” You yell, Alex noticeably slacking considering you’d spent the practice already putting her through the ringer.
It’s only after her drills end that she comes to a halt, panting heavily, her hands on her knees as she attempts to fill her lungs with air.
You shake your head, making your way towards her and leaning down.
“You don’t just make the team because you’re a pretty face, you know that right?” You bite, the forward shooting you a glare.
Your brows furrow when the corners of her mouth tick upward.
“Did you just say I’m pretty?” She teases and you scoff, pinching the bridge of your nose.
“Of course, THAT’S what you take from that.”
Alex’s lips split in a grin, her smile just as bright as it always had been, your heart skipping a beat in your chest.
“Hey, you said it, not me.” She smirks and you roll your eyes, turning her towards the remainder of the team before giving her a light shove.
“Get your ass over there Morgan.” You grumble, her grin widening before she skips towards the others.
You roll your eyes, unable to hold back a small smile as you too make your way towards the team.
**********************************************************************
The distance between you and Alex was still massive, no bridge long enough to bring the two of you together.
It wasn’t for a lack of trying on Alex’s part, whereas she tried to reach out, you’d only pull back, unwilling to bridge the gap, in fact, increasing its size.
Alex watched as you focused your attention Lindsey’s knee, wrapping it gently, the blonde saying something to you she can’t quite hear, but whatever it was, it makes you smile, a smile that still makes her heart skip a beat after all these years.
You move to your feet, giving the midfielder a pat on the shoulder before she turns and jogs onto the field.
“Thanks Y/N!” Emily says patting your back a bit harder than intended, as she jogs passed following Lindsey onto the field.
You go ridged, your hands trembling as you squeeze your eyes shut tightly.
Alex jogs towards you, the emotional turmoil you were experiencing unnoticed by the remainder of the team.
“Y/N...?” Alex whispers as she gently takes your trembling hands in her own, stopping their quaking.
Your chest begins to rise and fall rapidly, an anxiety attack impending, something Alex had seen happen to you multiple times before.
“Y/N?” She says again, giving your hands a squeeze, this time however, you speak.
“I said I was sorry... Please don’t…” You mutter, Alex’s eyes widening before immediately filling with tears.
“Come on.” She whispers, silently guiding you away from the team, catching sight of Emma Hayes watching the two of you, the forward shaking her head rapidly.
When you’re in a secluded spot, Alex cups your cheeks.
“Y/N, it’s okay, it’s me.”
You squeeze your eyes shut even more so than they already were, your hands shaking violently.
The tears in Alex’s eyes begin to stream down her face as she tries to think of something, ANYTHING to get you out of the catatonic state you’re in.
Her eyes widen, a memory flickering in the back of her mind as she pulls you into her, one arm around you and the other resting on the back of your neck, her fingers tangling in the fine hairs there.
She remembered holding you that way in high school, before your friendship ended, a nightmare pulling you from your sleep one night as the two of you slept side by side.
“I’ve got you.” She whispers in your ear, drawing lazy circles against the nape of your neck.
“And I’m not letting you go, never again.” She whispers, cooing softly in your ear.
Your breathing begins to slow, the motion of her fingers against the nape of your neck lulling you into a sense of calm, something you hadn’t felt in a long time.
She knew when you realized it was her that was holding you, you’d pull away, and the thought tore her heart in two.
You begin to relax, your shoulders sagging as your eyes slowly flutter open.
Almost immediately you move out of Alex’s hold, the forward frowning, missing the way you felt against her, missing the way her fingers felt tangled in your hair.
“What the hell are you doing?” You snarl, putting as much distance as you possibly can between the two of you.
“I-I didn’t know what else to do, you were having a panic attack.” She explains, her voice quivering.
You scoff.
“I didn’t NEED your help, I would’ve been just fine without you, like I ALWAYS have been.” You bark out before hastily leaving the room, not even sparing a glance back at the woman whose shoulder you roughly knocked into on your way out.
**********************************************************************
Even though you were angry at her, you knew you had to thank Alex.
You couldn’t imagine what would’ve happened if Alex hadn’t taken charge and took you to a secluded place to calm down, using a technique she became accustomed to using in your later high school years.
You could still feel her fingers gently drawing circles against the nape of your neck, something you longed to feel again, but you wouldn’t let her get that close again, you couldn’t.
You’re pulled from your thoughts when the very woman who’d been on your mind comes towards you, the woman silently shuffling from foot to foot as she waits to get her ankle wrapped.
You give Kelley a smile, the defender’s ankle wrapped in her own bit of tape before she jogs off, turning and giving Alex’s hand a squeeze on her way passed.
Alex comes to a stop in front of you, her throat bobbing as you gently take her ankle in your hands.
You’re silently wrapping her ankle in bright pink tape when you finally find your voice.
“I’m sorry.” You whisper, blue orbs widening as they meet your Y/E/C’s.
“You don’t need to be.” She smiles softly and you clear your throat, the sight of that smile effecting you more than you’d care to admit.
“I do." You sigh, the forwards cheeks flushing as you subconsciously caress her ankle.
“You...” You swallow hard, your throat bobbing.
“If you weren’t there for me the other day, I don’t know what I would’ve done, so... Thank you, Alex.” You whisper, clearing your throat, your eyes widening when you realize you’d been running your thumb gently back and forth along her ankle.
You give her a nod, reluctantly releasing her ankle, your old friend staring down at you for a moment before she smiles.
“You don’t have to thank me.” She mumbles softly, before her lips split in a grin.
“But you’re welcome.”
You watch as she makes her way onto the field, a smile stretching across your own face as you turn to Lindsey Horan, the blonde waiting for her knee to be wrapped.
However, you can’t help but look passed her, specifically at Alex Morgan, the woman beaming, wearing a smile you hadn’t seen her wear in a long, long time.
A smile that makes the butterflies in your stomach begin to stir, butterflies that died a long, long time ago, butterflies that were slowly coming back to life.
You didn’t like that the feelings you did your best to bury were resurfacing.
You blamed her, you were supposed to hate her, but the more she smiled your way, the more that anger and blame started to ebb away.
Your brows furrow as your phone again begins to ring, an unknown number stretched across its screen.
You shake your head, dropping your phone onto the top of a nearby bag.
Alex glances your way, smiling softly when your eyes meet.
The relationship between the two of you began to slowly change, you no longer looked at her with absolute disdain, instead wearing an expression she couldn’t quite place.
It’s when Emma Hayes blows her whistle that Alex sighs, making her way towards her bag, unaware that your phone had slipped inside.
She runs her hand through her sweat covered hair, catching sight of you out of the corner of her eye as you chat with Emma Hayes, a smile on your face.
She’d missed seeing that smile, mostly, she missed seeing that smile directed at her.
She turns away, reluctantly, unaware that your phone was buried deep inside her bag.
**********************************************************************
You growl, searching wildly through your bag in an attempt to find your phone, sighing when you come up empty.
You flop down onto your hotel room’s bed, your head in your hands.
The last thing you wanted to do today was lose your phone, but here you were, attempting to remember where you’d last seen the device.
A tentative knock on your hotel room door makes you jump, your brows furrowing as you make your way towards it.
You tug the door open, your eyes widening and brows knitting in confusion when you see Alex standing behind the door, the woman shuffling nervously from foot to foot.
“Uhhh, yeah?” You say, the woman nodding into your hotel room.
“Can I come in?” She asks and you hum, eyeing her intently before you step aside, uncertain why you’d allowed her into your room.
The door clicks shut behind you before you turn towards her, your arms crossed across your chest.
“What is it?” You ask, your eyes widening when you realize she was holding your phone.
“I found it in my bag.” She says, the look on her face telling you there was something more to the reason why she was in your room.
“Th-Thanks.” You stutter, taking it from her hand, the forward’s throat bobbing.
“It was ringing, and I answered it.” She says, your brows knitting, anger building in your chest at the thought of the woman invading your privacy.
“I’m-I’m sorry Y/N, I promise, I really didn’t know it was your phone.” She stutters, the anger you were feeling dissipating at the look on Alex’s face.
“There’s more to it, isn’t there?” You ask and she, sheepishly nods.
“It was your mother.”
Your eyes double in size, your body going ridged at the mention of the woman who’d done nothing, merely watching as your father abused and neglected you, a woman you hadn’t talked to since you were kicked out at 18.
You make your way towards your bed, taking a seat on its end, Alex making her way towards you, waiting until you give her a nod before she too sits down.
The room is enveloped in silence for a moment before you find your voice.
“Wh-What did she want?” You stammer, realizing the calls you’d been getting the last few days must have been from your mother.
Alex swallows hard, staring at her intertwined fingers, her mouth opening and closing.
“It’s your dad.” She whispers, noting the hitch in your breath, the woman unable to stop herself from reaching for, and covering your hand.
You find yourself taking comfort in her touch, something you thought you would never do again.
“What happened?” You ask, your voice barely above a whisper.
Alex clears her throat, seemingly searching for what to say before she mutters.
“He’s dying.”
You snort, in a sick sense, happy that the man who destroyed your childhood was about to die.
“Your mom said, he wants to...” She pauses, staring at your profile as she speaks.
“He wants to apologize, for everything, before he passes.”
You stiffen, your hands balling into fists, Alex’s thumb delicately running along your white knuckles.
You chuckle.
“Of course he does. He wants to clear his own conscious before he dies.” You snarl angrily, the thought of calling your mother and ripping her a new one prominent in your mind.
Alex remains silent, your brows furrowing as you turn towards her, her mouth opening and closing rapidly.
“What?” You ask, the forward shrugging.
“I may have...” She stops mid-sentence, shuffling nervously.
“Said some things.”
Your brows arch, noting that she’s refusing to look you in the eye.
“Like what?” You ask and she clears her throat.
“I may have told her your dad was a piece of shit, and that you didn’t owe him anything, that he doesn’t deserve to see you after all he did, and that she was a bitch who doesn’t deserve to see you either because she was just as guilty. He abused you, and she just watched and did nothing about it.”
Your brows arch, your eyes burning holes in the side of Alex’s head before you laugh, her blue orbs widening as she turns towards you.
You wrap your arms around your middle as you’re overcome with laughter, the thought of the look on your mother’s face as Alex tore her a new one, and the look on her face when it was Alex that answered the phone making you laugh uncontrollably.
You knew her and your father weren’t her biggest fans, considering she treated you the way you were meant to be treated, and loved you in a way that they never did.
“I would’ve paid to see that.” You say, wiping a tear from your eyes, the forward beside you smiling, her lips splitting into a grin.
“I meant what I said, you don’t owe them anything Y/N, even if he’s dying, you don’t have to go to see him, unless you want to.”
You shake your head, your eyes dropping to your and Alex’s joined hands, the feel of her hand in your own making your heart skip a beat.
“I know.” You say, taking a deep breath before exhaling loudly.
“I kind of want to see him, to show him that even though he treated me the way he did, he didn’t break me, that I became successful, and I didn’t need him or my mother to do it.”
You swallow hard, your gaze falling to your lap.
“I suppose...” You pause, frowning, unable to stop tears forming in your eyes.
“I suppose he did break me, didn’t he?” You mutter, your eyes widening a gasp leaving you as Alex’s hand leaves your own, the woman instead wrapping her arms tightly around you.
The tears that formed in your eyes began streaming down your cheeks as she held you tightly, her cheek pressing against your shoulder.
“He didn’t Y/N.” She whispers, squeezing you gently, not wanting to throw you into a panic attack like you’d had the other day.
You close your eyes, sagging in her hold, the hotel room falling silent as you simply let Alex hold you in her arms, a feeling you didn’t realize you’d missed so much.
You’re unsure of what makes you say it, but before you can think your lips are moving.
“I don’t know if I can face them alone.” You confess, Alex turning her head and kissing your temple, the woman stiffening when she realizes what she did, though she in no way relinquishes her hold on you.
“You don’t have to Y/N.” She whispers, smiling when she feels your arm slip around her.
“What do you mean?” You ask, your heart lightening in your chest at the thought of the forward coming back to your hometown with you.
“I’ll go with you.” She mutters nervously, leaning heavily into you, her hold on you tightening.
You go silent before you rest your head against hers, a soft sigh leaving you as you give her side a squeeze.
“I think I’d like that very much.”
**********************************************************************
The relationship between you drastically changed after that, the bridge was all but mended, the two of you almost as inseparable as when you were kids.
And when the She Believes Tournament ended, with the USWNT as the victors, you and Alex decided it was time to prepare to head back to your hometown, a place that held so many bad memories for you.
It wasn’t long before there was a knock at your apartment door, your hand freezing on the doorknob as you take a deep breath.
Despite the fact that things were better between the two of you, you still got nervous, worried that she would disappear again and break your heart.
You pull the door open slowly, Alex smiling when your eyes meet hers, a duffle bag slung over her shoulder a suitcase in one hand.
“Are you ready?” She asks as you step aside, allowing her inside, the woman taking in your small apartment.
“Honestly, not really.” You sigh, leaning against the island in your kitchenette.
Alex makes her way towards you with a frown, taking your hands, the gesture making your cheeks flush.
“Well, you’re not going alone, I’ll be there every step of the way.” She whispers as she caresses your knuckles.
You couldn’t lie, the feelings you had for Alex had resurfaced, and the closer you became, the more you realized that the feelings you had in high school had come back, tenfold.
You were in love with the woman currently holding your hands, the woman whose blue orbs sparkled when she smiled, the woman who’d broken your heart all those years ago.
You give her hands a squeeze, noting the flush of her own cheeks.
“I know.” You whisper pushing yourself off the island and moving to your full height.
“And it means a lot to me.” You say, bashfully staring at the floor beneath your feet.
Alex smiles softly, turning your hands over in her own before intertwining your fingers.
“It’s the least I could do.” She says, giving your hands a squeeze.
Her hands leave yours reluctantly and you sigh, missing the feel of her smooth palms against your own.
“Well, let’s go.”
**********************************************************************
Alex’s fingers drum on the steering wheel, her eyes darting to the passenger's seat, where you're fast asleep.
She knew this journey would take a toll on you, she knew that this was one of the hardest things you ever had to do, and she was happy you’d allowed her to be along for the ride.
You mumble in your sleep, your brows furrowing as your head turns back and forth.
Alex reaches towards you, gently covering your hand with her own as she pulls into the tiny roadside hotel the two of you were planning on staying in for the night before you reach your hometown the following day.
“Hey.” Alex whispers, tenderly tucking a strand of hair behind your ear.
Your eyes slowly flutter open, your brows furrowing as you blink rapidly to clear your vision.
“Are we here?” You rasp, the sound of your sleepy voice making her smile lovingly.
“No, we’re at the hotel.”
You hum, stretching your arms above your head before you open the passenger's side door and slip out with a groan.
Alex slides out the driver’s side door, she too stretching.
“We had reservations, right?” You ask and she nods rapidly.
“I’ll go check us in.”
You watch her go with a small smile, the woman disappearing into the small hotel’s lobby, leaving you with the suitcases, which you didn’t mind.
You lean back against Alex’s car, staring up at the random hotel you’d decided to stop at on your way home.
You sigh, leaning your head against the car behind you.
You didn’t want to go home, you didn’t want to face your father and your mother, but you knew you had to.
You had to show them that you were well off, you had to show them that you’d made it without them, that you survived your father’s abuse and your mother’s refusal to do anything about it.
And having Alex Morgan by your side was just a plus, a major plus.
You remember your father taunting you, making comments about how Alex had finally learned how pathetic you were and made the right decision to distance herself from you.
Your throat bobs as you bite your bottom lip, staving off tears at the thought of your father’s harsh words.
Your mother wanted you to come home to hear their apology, but you had ulterior motives.
You were never going to accept her apology, and you were certainly never going to accept his, much like his apologies during your childhood, they meant absolutely nothing, and that wasn’t about to change.
“Hey.”
You jump, your eyes flashing open, immediately locking with Alex’s blue orbs.
“Are you okay?” She asks, concern evident in her tone.
You clear your throat, pushing off the car as you nod.
“Yeah, I’m just fine.”
***********************************************************************
It didn’t take long for the two of you to settle into your room, the pair of you flopping down onto the beds you’d be sleeping on for the night.
“I’m so tired.” You yawn, rolling off the bed and heading to your suitcase.
Before you realize what, you’re doing, you tug your shirt over your head, revealing your near bare back to the woman in the opposite bed.
“Oh my god.”
You twist on your heels, your eyes wide.
“What’s wrong? Are you alright?” You ask as you approach the forward, tears streaming down her cheeks.
“What is—
You pause your throat bobbing as you glance down at yourself, realizing your torso was bare, covered only by the sports bra you were wearing.
Meaning each and every scar that covered your flesh was revealed, scars dotting your arms, as well as covering your chest and back.
Alex’s hands tremble as she makes her way towards you, her eyes focused intently on your chest, a number of scars littering your skin, some from glass, some from a belt, and others you couldn’t really remember.
Lashes covered your stomach, as well as your back, red welts made mostly by your father’s favorite belt.
A wide array of cigarette burns covered your skin, mostly all over your arms, but some were on your chest and stomach.
“Jesus Christ.” Alex whispers, her voice cracking as she places her hands on your shoulders, taking in the destruction your father left behind on your skin.
“I-I...” She stammers, her bottom lip trembling as she turns you around, lash marks covering your back, overlapping into a mess of patterns.
Alex sobs, your breath hitching as she wraps her arms around you from behind, burying her face in the nape of your neck.
“I’m so sorry.” She cries, clinging onto you for dear life, her tears running down your scarred back.
You turn in her hold, wrapping your arms tightly around her, the woman burying her face in your neck as she cries.
“This is all my fault.” She sniffs, realizing that you hadn’t had the scars you do before the two of you had stopped being friends.
You shake your head, your chin resting on the top of her head.
“It isn’t. I’m sorry it took me so long to realize that.” You whisper, ducking down to kiss her head.
Alex pulls back, her watery blue orbs locking with your equally watery Y/E/C’s.
“It is Y/N!” She cries, searching your face intently.
“You didn’t have these before we stopped being friends.” She says, whimpering as she takes in your scars again.
“I—
“No.” She says, shaking her head rapidly.
“If I would’ve just told you how I felt, you wouldn’t have these.” She sniffles, your eyes widening, and brows furrowing.
“What do you mean?” You ask, staring closely at the woman’s face, noting the way her throat bobs.
“Come on, Al.” You whisper, gently placing your hands on her waist.
“You can tell me anything.” You say, repeating the words she’d said on the playground so long ago.
Much to your surprise, she stares at you blankly for a moment before leaning in, your breath catching as her lips meet yours.
The butterflies that recently began to stir, burst to life as you kiss your childhood best friend, something you’d wanted to do for so long.
Your lips lock, the kiss stimulating every one of your nerve endings.
You never wanted it to end, you never wanted to stop kissing Alex Morgan.
She sighs against your lips as you kiss passionately, feelings the two of you had for so long now revealed.
Reluctantly, you part, Alex’s forehead resting against yours as you catch your breath.
“Wow.” You whisper, smiling when Alex leans in for another kiss, this one softer, and shorter than the one you’d just shared.
Alex’s mouth opens and closes for a few seconds before she clears her throat.
“I didn’t know how to tell you back then how I felt, I was scared, I thought if I pushed you away, the feelings would go away, but they didn’t.”
She cups your cheeks, tucking a strand of hair behind your ear.
“They never went away, because I love you, Y/N.” She confesses, your eyes doubling in size, your heart skipping a beat.
“I always have, I just never knew how to say it...”
She licks her lips, inhaling deeply before continuing.
“When I saw you walking across the field, those feelings came flooding back.”
She rests her forehead against yours.
“I love you Y/N, I always have, and I always will.”
The room falls silent, the woman in front of you baring her entire soul to you, the knowledge that she’d felt the same making your stomach lurch with excitement.
You lean in, pressing a feather light kiss to her lips.
“I love you too, Al.” You whisper, Alex smiling against your lips as she throws her arms around your neck, kissing you passionately, the feel of her lips against yours something she couldn't get enough of.
The kisses remain tame, the urge to turn them into something more not present in any sense, the two of you catching up on the tender and loving kisses you’d missed when growing up.
You again, reluctantly part, your arms wrapping tightly around Alex, the forward burying her nose in the crook of your neck.
Unfortunately, your lips part in a lengthy, and loud yawn, the woman in your arms giggling as she leans back, leaning in to peck your lips before stepping out of your embrace.
“We should get some sleep, huh?” She asks and you nod, making your way towards your suitcase and grabbing the shirt you’d first intended to put on.
“Wait.” Alex whispers, placing her hand gently on your back so as to not scare you.
You turn to face her, a single brow arched as she motions to the shirt in your hands.
“Keep it off.” She says your throat bobbing as your eyes dart from Alex’s blue orbs to the shirt and back.
You hum, dropping the shirt before grabbing a few things from your suitcase and nodding to the bathroom.
“I’ll be right back.” You smile, pecking her lips before disappearing into the bathroom.
Alex, meanwhile, makes her way towards her own suitcase, slipping into a pair of shorts and a tank top just as you’re moving out of the bathroom.
She turns towards you, noting the way you shuffle on your feet, a sports bra covering your upper torso and a pair of sweats hugging your hips.
She holds her hand out, motioning towards one of the beds, your cheeks flushing at the silent invitation.
Nervously, you make your way towards her, her hand immediately settling on your bare stomach before she nods towards the bed.
“Do you want to share?” She asks in an uncertain whisper.
You gently take her chin between your thumb and index finger, tilting her head upwards until her blue orbs meet your Y/E/C’s.
“I’d love nothing more.”
Eventually, you turn the overhead light off, and shuffle into bed, the flickering TV the only thing bringing some source of light to the room.
Alex leans back, her blue orbs dragging down your front, taking in the scars covering your chest.
Your breath hitches in your throat when she ducks down, gently kissing a long scar running along your collarbone before turning her attention to the others she can reach.
Your eyes flutter shut, the feel of her lips a complete contrast to what it felt like to get the scars in the first place.
You can feel the tears streaming down your cheeks before you realize you’re crying.
Alex pulls away from you, tears forming in her own eyes when she sees you’re crying.
She cups your cheeks, pressing a tender, and loving kiss to your lips.
“Shhhhh.” She coos, her fingers running through your hair as you bury your face in her neck.
It isn’t long before you fall silent, falling fast asleep, tear tracks visible on your face as your childhood best friend holds you tightly.
She ducks down, kissing the top of your head, a hum leaving you as you snuggle closer.
“I love you Y/N, and I’m not going anywhere, no matter what.”
**********************************************************************
The remainder of the journey is uneventful, Alex’s hand in yours more often than not, the woman kissing you tenderly any chance she got, realizing how much the feel of her lips against yours calmed you.
Before you realize it, you’re passing the sign informing you that you’d made it, you’d made it to the place that held so many awful memories for you.
You cling to Alex’s hand tightly, the woman noting the feel of your clammy palm against hers.
“We’re here.” She whispers and you nod, your chest tightening.
“Y-Y-Yeah...” You stammer, the air within the car becoming less and less until you feel as if you’re unable to breathe.
Alex almost immediately pulls to the side of the road, gently cupping your cheeks, her forehead resting against yours.
“It’s alright.” She whispers, taking your hand and pressing it against her own chest.
“Try to match me.”
You whimper, tears running down your face, but your breathing halts entirely when you feel Alex’s lips pressing against yours.
You slowly part, noting the fact that your anxiety attack had been stopped dead in its tracks, your breathing slowly returning to normal.
“Are you okay?” She says softly, her lips brushing yours as she whispers.
Your eyes flutter shut, the tightness in your chest ebbing slightly, but not entirely going away, you knew what you had to do to get it to go away, and that was to confront your father.
“I have to confront him before I’ll be okay.” You confess, Alex kissing your lips again before turning her attention to the road.
“Well, let’s go do that.”
Alex takes your hand, her fingers intertwining with yours as you stand outside the hospital where your father and mother are, the aforementioned woman making her way towards you, tears in her eyes.
“Y/N...” She says, opening her arms, but quickly realizing the last thing she’d get was a hug from you, especially considering Alex had stepped partially in front of you, her protective side warming your heart considerably.
Your mother comes to a stop, her throat bobbing.
“I understand.” She says and your nostrils flare.
“Where is he?” You say curtly, Alex gently squeezing your hand, earning a squeeze in return.
Your mother frowns before nodding to the hospital.
“This way.”
**********************************************************************
Your mother didn’t even attempt to make small talk on the way to the room, she knew you weren’t there to embrace her and forgive her for everything she didn’t do when you were growing up.
Alex’s hand remained in yours, even as your grip on her hand became painful, she didn’t let go.
You needed an anchor, and she would be that anchor, for as long as you needed and as long as you would let her.
Your mother comes to a stop outside one of the many hospital rooms before turning towards you, her hands clasped in front of her.
“He’s in here.” She says, unable to look you in the eye.
“Please, try not to upset him, he doesn’t have much time left.”
Your lip's part, your nostrils flaring angrily, before you can speak however, Alex beats you to it.
“Yeah, because he cared so much about not upsetting Y/N when she was growing up.” She bites, your mother having the decency to look remorseful.
She didn’t abuse you, she never hit you, but she allowed it, and it was that thought that made you keep distance between the two of you, you weren’t about to forgive the woman who stood aside while your father scarred your body and beat you senseless.
She simply nods before stepping aside, motioning towards the room, knowing full well that the visit wasn’t going to go how your father expected.
You come to a stop, your chest tightening at the thought of seeing the man again, your free hand beginning to shake.
Alex turns you towards her, the woman cupping your cheek with her free hand, the other in a vice grip.
“I’ve got you. I’m not going anywhere.” She whispers, resting her forehead against your own.
You nod, your throat bobbing.
“Promise?” You whisper, your voice noticeably cracking.
Alex smiles, closing the distance between you, her lips lightly meeting your own.
Your mother meanwhile is unable to keep herself from smiling, happy in the knowledge that you had someone to care for you, unlike she had when you were growing up.
You give Alex a barely visible nod, the woman taking your hand and stepping through the doorway with you, partially in front of you in a protective gesture.
“There she is.”
You come to a screeching halt, your eyes darting towards your father who’s resting in the hospital bed, looking much smaller than he did when you were growing up.
“Well, aren’t you going to give your old man a hug?” He asks, his eyes still holding a hint of the anger you saw all the years ago.
“No.” You say curtly, leading Alex further into the room, your hands now full-on sweating, your face flushed.
“Why not?” He asks, his voice having an edge to it.
“Why?” You ask, laughing humorlessly.
You stare at the man blankly, realizing he had deluded himself into thinking you had no reason for not coming over and hugging him.
“Are you kidding me?” Alex snarls, the woman taken aback when you move towards his bed.
“Maybe because you spent my childhood beating the hell out of me?!” You roar, knowing your voice could be heard rooms away.
His lips part, the man about to say something but you don’t care, rolling your sleeves up and showing him the scars on your arms.
“Maybe this is why?” You yell, unbuttoning your shirt hastily, uncaring that you were basically standing in the hospital room wearing only a sports bra.
Your mother is unable to stop her breath from hitching when she sees the scarred flesh of your torso.
“Maybe this is why, DAD.” You say, your voice dripping with contempt.
Your father remains silent, the anger you’d typically seen burning in his eyes still there growing.
“I just wanted to see you before I go.” He growls, and you scoff.
“Well, here I am.” You say, throwing your hands in the air, Alex watching in something akin to awe as you confront your abuser.
“I’m not going to give you a big hug, and I’m not going to tell you I’ll miss you, because I won’t.” You bite, noting the jumping in your father’s jaw.
“How dare you—
“How dare I?” You bark out a laugh.
“How dare you think I should come here and just forgive you, just forget what you did to me growing up, how dare YOU.” You yell, cut off by a nearby nurse.
“Is something wrong?” She asks, her brows knitted in confusion.
Alex turns to her.
“This has been a long time coming, she needs this, let it happen.” She whispers, the woman shaking her head.
“I never said I was sorry.” Your father mumbles and you’re unable to stop yourself from laughing.
“Of course you didn’t, because you never felt bad for beating me.” You shake your head, the nurse, surprisingly, backing out of the room.
“Well, you didn’t break me, you didn’t win.” You say, your hands balling into fists.
“I came here to tell you that, and now that I did, I can move on with my life.” You say, turning towards Alex before leaving the room hastily, leaning against the wall outside of the room.
Alex turns to your father, the man shooting her a glare, a glare she returns, her blue orbs smoldering.
“You tried so hard to break her, but it didn’t work. She’s one of the best women I know, and I love her, more than you ever did, more than either of you ever did.” She snarls angrily, glancing at your mother who’s staring at the floor.
“She’s better than either of you, she rose above your abuse and became an amazing and talented woman, someone I’m proud to call my girlfriend.” She says confidently, your eyes widening when you realize what Alex had just said.
“Of course, as if she couldn’t disappoint me more.” Your father growls in reference to the fact that you and Alex were together.
Your hands ball into fists, the thought of walking in and jacking his jaw prominent.
“We don’t need your approval; we don’t want it.” She says, walking closer to the bed, the nurse who’d come in earlier coming towards you along with another nurse.
“Y/N is a better person than you could ever hope be.” She growls, turning to make her way out of the room, shooting a glare over her shoulder.
“I'm proud of her for coming here, for saying what she needed to say, and I know I put distance between the two of us growing up, but I’m going to be there for her no matter what, more than you ever were.” She says before making her way out of the room, zeroing in on where you were leaning against a nearby wall.
She hastily makes her way towards you, throwing her arms around you, squeezing you tightly.
Unbeknownst to you, your mother had followed you out, wearing a frown.
“I asked you not to upset him.”
Alex relinquishes her hold on you, the two of you sending the older woman a piercing glare.
“Well, I asked you to be there for me growing up, and you weren’t. Looks like neither of us got what we wanted.” You say, taking Alex’s hand, the nurses making their way towards you coming to a halt.
“Don’t worry.” You say, glancing at the women.
“We’re leaving.” You say, turning towards your mother.
“The only reason you need to call me again is to tell me he’s dead.” You say, turning on your heels, and making your way down the hallway, Alex’s hand holding yours tightly.
It’s only when you’re walking out of the hospital’s entrance that you break down, falling to your knees, your body wracked with sobs.
Alex drops down beside you, wrapping her arms tightly around you as you sob loudly against her chest, the relief of finally telling your father how you felt, making you emotional.
“You did it, Y/N. I’m so proud of you.” Alex whispers, running her fingers through your hair as she coos softly in your ear.
You sniffle, tears streaming down your face, your nose running as you cry against her chest.
Eventually, you fall silent, your body twitching every so often as you sniff.
You pull back, your bloodshot Y/E/C orbs meeting Alex’s red rimmed blues.
She cups your cheeks, leaning her forehead against your own.
“How do you feel?” She asks as you breathe in deep, filling your lungs with air, your chest no longer feeling as tight as it did.
You sigh, cupping her cheeks, wiping the tears Alex didn’t realize were streaming down her cheeks away.
“Lighter.” You say softly, bumping your nose against Alex’s.
You fall silent before your lips split in a grin.
“Girlfriend, huh?” You tease, her cheeks flushing.
“I-I mean...” She stutters, cut off by your lips meeting hers in a tender, chaste kiss.
“I do like the sound of that.” You smile, Alex throwing her arms around you, giving you a tight squeeze.
The two of you eventually make your way towards Alex’s car, your chest feeling lighter than it ever had before.
“I’m so proud of you.” Alex says as she slips into the driver’s seat.
You turn back towards the hospital, staring up at the hospital where your mother and father currently were, an abusive man you’d finally told how you felt, a demon from your past that you’d finally faced and conquered.
You smile, slipping in the passenger's seat beside Alex, the woman immediately taking your hand.
“You know.” You pause, turning towards Alex who’s wearing a tender smile.
Your own lips split in a grin.
“I’m proud of me too.”
***********************************************************************
It’s nearly two years later that you find yourself back in your hometown, rain pouring down around you as you stand at your father’s grave.
You stare down at the stone stoically, noting the fact that it doesn’t say anything about being a loving father, but only a loving husband.
Your eyes widen when a dark shadow falls over you, a shadow belonging to an umbrella, an umbrella Alex Morgan is currently holding.
You take her hand, your fingertips brushing the ring wrapped around her ring finger, a ring you’d proposed to her with not that long ago.
Life had torn you apart, creating a distance between you so vast that you were not sure if the gap would be bridged, but it was also life that brought you together again.
It was life that led Alex to confess her feelings for you, and life that led you to where you currently were now, standing in the middle of the graveyard, your hand in Alex’s, the band of her engagement ring cold against your palm.
You turn towards her, smiling softly.
“Are you ready?” You ask, her brows arching when she turns towards you.
“Are you?” She asks, squeezing your hand as you turn back to the stone, nodding.
“Yeah, I am.”
Alex turns, her fingers intertwining with yours as you make your way back towards her car.
You chance one last look over your shoulder, staring at your father’s stone again before turning away, eager to start your life with the woman currently holding your hand, your chest feeling lighter than it ever had before.
After all these years, you were finally free, and you were free to live your life with the woman you loved, and that woman was your childhood best friend, and fiancé, Alex Morgan.

A LunaTic and her Gunn (Part 84 Xs1) "14Hours"
@lovemythsworld
@creatureofthen1ght-v3
@crystalbaby12
It feels good to have Colson's heavy body thrown over her when Luna wakes up. She closes her eyes, breathing him in. His scent is a mixture of weed, sandalwood, whiskey and a left over hint of the Jean Paul Gaultier cologne he wears. Laying in his arms, Luna doesn't ever want to move.
It's the knock on their door, that disturbs her bliss. Don's calling an hour before wheels up. They have a 14 hour ride from New Jersey to Chicago on Colson's day off. Fun.
"Mmmm... Kitten..." He moans lowly, pulling her closer to him.
Naked, Luna can feel his hard dick resting against her ass cheek. Colson nuzzles through her hair to the back of her neck. His light kiss gives her goosebumps.
"Morning, Bunny." She coos, bringing his hand up to her mouth to kiss it.
"You're up?" He asks surprised, slightly lifting his head.
"Mhmm." She murmurs as she rolls over to look at him.
"There's that beautiful face." He grins sleepily, pecking her lips.
"We got an hour... You wanna do it here or in the shower?" Luna asks as she adjusts under the weight of his leg over her waist.
"Both." He answers, lifting her face towards him by her chin.
Their kiss is deep and passionate. Both enjoying loving each other without the drama.
Colson moves his leg to run his fingers down the curve of Luna's body. Making her twitch from his light touch. Dipping his fingers between her folds, he grins wider.
"Dirty girl." He comments on her already wet pussy.
Drawing her in, she slides her leg over his waist. Colson lazily fucks Luna on their sides. Facing each other, Colson watches Luna's pleased expressions in the morning sun. They're quiet, except for their moans.
"Fuck I missed her..." Colson's heart thinks as his dick throbs inside of Luna.
Pulling him closer by his shoulders. She shifts her hips up, matching his rhythm. Kissing each other's mouths and bodies while they easily cum for the other. Bodies going weak. Heads light.
"Good thing I'm fucking marrying you..." Luna breathes out, once she rolls over. Splaying her body across Colson and the bed.
"Why's that?" He chuckles.
"Because your dick has seriously ruined me for anyone else!!" She laughs, rolling back onto his chest.
"Good. That means you'll never divorce me." He quips, kissing her head.
"Shut the fuck up." Luna laughs to his chuckle.
"Round two?" Colson asks.
"Burn as we get in?" She responds.
"THAT, is why you're the only woman who could ever be my wife." He states, sprinkling her face with kisses. "I fucking love you, Loons."
"Love YOU!" She grins as she slips out of their nest of blankets to roll a joint.
"You really are something else..." Colson muses over Luna like he did the night of his birthday.
"The ONLY, Bunny." She grins, leaning her naked body over to kiss him. "Ready?" She asks.
Lighting the joint and hitting it a few times before she passes it to Colson. Inhaling deeply, he exhales another I love You.
"Come on and love me in the shower." Luna coaxes.
-------------------------------------------------
Luna and Colson walk into the lobby, free hands laced together. Everyone else is already there.
"Awwww... Did we make uuup?" Baze teases them.
"Shut up, Truck." Colson laughs as Luna rolls her eyes.
"Aww, coooome on... You know the kids don't like it when Mommy and Daddy fight." Baze laughs, throwing an arm around them each as he comes in between Colson and Luna.
"Ugh.. That's so gross..." Luna shudders as she tries to shake Baze off of her.
Luna has a Daddy Kink she's explored with Tommy but won't with Colson. It's Casie's fault. The first time she heard her call him Daddy, it weirded Luna the fuck out. Realizing in that moment he's actually someone's DAD, she just can't get passed it. Luna picturing Casie's face the one time she tried. Deciding NOPE. Right then and there. Plus, she's really not about that Kid Life. She loves Casie but the idea of being a mother makes her want to vomit.
"You don't wanna be somebody's Mommy?" Baze wiggles his head as he makes sucking noises.
Colson's laughing as Baze taunts Luna. She's still stuck under his arm.
"Fuuuck nooo." Luna says. Dipping down, under and away from him. "I ain't bringing any crotch dropplings into this fucked up world!"
They all look at her. Sam exploding into laughter, she's heard Luna's rant about kids before. Ashleigh turns and cocks her head to the side. Perplexed at Luna's vocabulary.
"Crotch dropplings, though!? That's one for the books, Loons." She laughs, shaking her head.
"Yo. My kids would be Assholes. True crotch dropplings." She replies, throwing her palms out.
The Boys can't help but giggle over her word. Luna's always spouting out some type of crazy fuckitude.
"Case isn't an Asshole..." Colson shakes his head, debating Luna as he slaps her ass.
"Oh." She hops and grins at his authority. "Yeah. Because of Emma. Anything WE.." Luna flicks her thumb between herself and soon to be husband. "Spit out, would be a straight up Dickhead. No doubt."
Colson rolls his eyes as he kisses the top of her head. He doesn't know if he wants another kid but half of him would bet he could get Luna to do it if he really wanted too. The other half of himself laughs "You're a Fucking idiot." Knowing Luna would never do anything she didn't want to because someone else did.
"Fucking crotch dropplings...?" He laughs. "Something's fucking wrong with you, yo."
Luna nods in agreement as her theory is met by laughter and talk of Truths and Facts from their friends as they all walk out together. Luggage in tow with wild theories of this imaginary kid drifting in the air.
Ashleigh informing Luna, that you don't SPIT them out as she laughs at her ridiculousness. Catching a shrug with an I Don't Know, Ashleigh rolls her eyes as they head to The Bus. Clearly Luna does not.
------------------------------------------------
Once settled, they burn and drink coffee as a group. None of them really breakfast eaters.
Ashleigh, Colson and Luna sit on one couch together. Luna's leg draped over Colson's thigh. Sam and The Boys are scattered around, chattering on about last night. They had hit a local bar with some of The Crew, closing the place down.
Ashleigh mentions the Massachusetts merch to Colson. Deciding on XL hoodies, she tells him they should be in by Thursday. Colson nods his head. Kissing Luna on the cheek, thanking her for the idea.
She tells him it's No Big Deal as she leans over for another kiss. Standing up, she tells them she's gonna call Monica before heading to the back of The Bus.
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Monica is not surprised by Luna's news but she is annoyed by it. Her client has always been a handful but this last month or so seems to have been a free for all. Monica scolds Luna on how she can't assault high profile people without consequences. That she's gotten really lucky and has to stop it.
Luna only pays her half a mind until Monica tells her she's nervous regarding Luna's other ventures. That she needs to be extra careful now that she's more publicly visible. They don't want ANY police looking at Luna for ANY reason.
Understanding, Luna agrees to Calm Her Tits. Apologizing to Monica for worrying her. They move on to the listings Monica sent Luna.
"Fuck... I totally forgot all about them. I'm sorry." She apologizes again.
Luna's digging under the bed as she continues to talk. Looking for something she grabbed in The City, she wants to bring it out when she's finished
"Maybe if you didn't spend so much time beating people up." Monica zings.
"Fuck you, Mon." She tells her, unamused.
Pleased when her hand touches the box, she pulls it out. Luna grins looking at her treasure.
"Alright, pass me to Ashleigh." Monica responds.
"Wait? What? For what?" Luna asks, caught off guard with a slight attitude.
"These NDAs... The fucking dual residency you asked for.... I don't know... Your non stop bullshit... What else would it be for, Jerk Off?" Monica deadpans to Luna.
Monica's choice of insult cracks Luna up. She truly appreciates anyone who speaks their mind.
"Okay... Okay... Fuck. I'm sorry." Luna laughs as she walks to the front of The Bus. "Here she is..."
"AND STOP FUCKING HITTING PEOPLE!!" Monica can be heard shouting from the phone as she hands her to Ashleigh.
"Jesus Christ." Colson looks at Luna with wide eyes.
"You think she wants me to stop hitting people?" She smirks as they both laugh.
Luna walks over to the table. Grabbing everyone's attention with a Yo, she shows them her prize.
Sam hangs back on the couch. They've already taste tested most of it.
"WORD!!!! We almost out. Good look, LunaTic!" Slim nods to her as he tosses her an elbow.
Luna steps to the side as they all come in to smell the different strains of bud and wax. Each highly impressed with the quality and grateful for the vegetation.
"Aight, Kitten... I see you." Colson says, wrapping his body around hers in approval.
"We got Backwoods?" She asks, referring to a particular cigar brand.
"I got the rig!" Rook shouts, lifting up the glass smoking apparatus.
He sets up it up on the counter, turning on the electric needle. Benny and AJ start rolling blunts as Baze and Colson twist up joints. Sam pulling together supplies for the wax.
"You and your bestie good?" Luna teases Ashleigh when she hands her back her phone..
"Yeah..." She laughs. "I'm gonna express her the NDA's and Kells water bill I got you on once we get to Chicago. She's ready to file the paperwork for the dual residency and needs it...."
"Shit, really? That was quick. Thank you." Luna kisses her on the cheek. "Anything else to do?" She asks to Ashleigh head shake. "Then let's get fucking HIGH, Bitch!" Luna laughs, showing her the case.
Once the rig is hot enough, they all take large dabs. Coughing until they almost choke. Setting the expensive glass piece to the side on the bumpy bus.
Luna sits on the floor between Colson's legs as she hits her first joint of their session. Ashleigh and Slim are on one couch with him. Benny, Baze and Sam on another. AJ's lounging in one of the chairs as Rook stretches out on his back on the floor near Luna.
Passing blunts and joints around, occasionally taking more dabs, they are getting high as FUCK.
"I wanna do a new cover with you..." Colson says in a low, stoned voice.
Turning to him, Luna asks what he's thinking. Hitting a blunt, he's quiet for a few minutes.
"You're All I Need?" He asks with red eyeballs.
"The Meth joint?" Slim asks with a scowl. "Nah, Dawg... I'm not feeling that one."
"Yeah..." Luna agrees with Slim. She has an idea. "You want fast or slow?" She asks.
"Hmmm... I don't know." He ponders.
There's so many blunts and joints going around, everyone has something in their hand at all times. Smoke filling The Bus.
Luna gets up and grabs her guitar. It's the acoustic one she made sure to pack. Sitting back down, crossed leg in front of Colson on the floor, she begins to strum.
"What about Sublime?" She asks. We could turn What I Got or Bad Fish into a duet..."
🎶When you grab ahold of me🎶
🎶You tell me that I'll never🎶
🎶Be set free🎶
🎶But I'm a parasite🎶
🎶Creep and crawl🎶
🎶I step into the night🎶
Luna sings, nodding for Colson to step in. He's sweet face lighting up as he does so.
🎶Two pints of booze🎶
🎶Tell me are you🎶
🎶Are you a BadFish too🎶
Luna slides in the second.
🎶Are you a BadFish too🎶
As Colson continues.
🎶Ain't got no money🎶
🎶To spend🎶
🎶I hope this night🎶
🎶Will never end🎶
They blend together. Eyes watching the other. Smiles playing on their lips as their voices harmonize simultaneously.
🎶Lord knows I'm weak🎶
🎶Won't somebody🎶
🎶Get me off of this reef🎶
Grinning at each other as Luna slides the guitar strings. Colson starts the next verse. Alternating with Luna every two. She backs him during the line.
🎶Underneath my bed🎶
Coming back together, they sing the ending chorus. By the second round, the whole bus is singing together.
🎶Ain't got no quarrels🎶
🎶With God🎶
🎶And got no time🎶
🎶To grow old🎶
🎶Lord knows I'm weak🎶
🎶Won't somebody🎶
🎶Get me off of this reef🎶
They happily belt together. Finishing up with laughter. Still passing around rolled up weed.
Everyone thinks it's a great cover. Colson isn't sure about the energy though. Luna agrees, it's more jam seshy. Probably because their baked off their asses. Luna offers trying What I Got if he wants.
"Nah, let's chill out." He leans down to kiss her forehead. "Y'all wanna kick on a movie?" He asks.
Stoned, they all agree. Laughing and loudly quoting How High as they watch it. Luna eventually climbing onto Colson's lap to cuddle. Giggling as they drop sporadic kisses on each other.
Everyone too stoned to move, they put on Anchorman next. Smoking almost a half ounce between them in less then 5hrs.
Most of them nodding out before Baxter gets punted off of the bridge. All of them knocked before the end of the movie.
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
They wake up around 830Pish. Beers already cracked. Drinks made. More weed flowing along with music. Sam finds the Magic Slushies when she goes to look for ice.
"What is this?" She asks, intrigued as she pulls out the large jar.
"We had a Tea Party." Luna tells her from across The Bus.
"And THIS was left over??" Sam asks being very familiar with Luna's Tea Parties. "Can we eat these right now?"
"Can we wait? I don't know if I wanna be stuck on The Bus and I'm still kinda recovering from Saturday night...." Luna groans. "Wanna play a game instead?"
Luna heads to her and Colson's room after Sam nods. She comes back out with poster board and art supplies. Truly packing everything but the kitchen sink.
"What 'cha thinkin', Loons MaGoons?" Baze asks her.
Luna grins at him. "I'm thinking a good 'ol American drinken' board game.... There Truck. What do you guys think?" She asks.
She's met with amused Okays as her and Sam set out on a gameboard. Turning to Colson, she asks him to have the others find themselves pawns. They settle on quarters with their initials drawn on with Sharpie.
Most are obvious, like C for Colson, L for Luna and R for Rook. Ashleigh takes the A as they squeeze AJ onto one. Sam gets the S, Benny the B, while Baze uses a Z and Slim settles for BA. For BlaqAbe.
"How's it look?" Luna asks, displaying her and Sam's finished project.
"You tryin' to get us fucked up, Brooklyn!" Benny laughs at their creation.
"That's my girl." Colson says kissing her head.
Cracking more beers and grabbing a bottle of tequila. Gathering around the board on the floor, they use one die. Starting counterclockwise from the youngest. Rook goes first. Rolling a 2.
"Truth or Dare, Rookie!!" Slim laughs.
Shaking his head, he chooses Dare. Who knows what the hell he's in for.
Colson speaks first.
"I dare you to give our Newb a proper welcome..." He says mischievously.
The Boys whoop as Ashleigh shakes her head.
"And what is that?" Luna asks thinking of her friend.
"A lap dance" Colson shrugs with a smirk.
"Well, in that case..." Luna laughs.
She gets up to change the music. Turning up Def Leppard's Pour Some Sugar On Me.
"BRING IT OOON!!" Sam laughs as Rook turns bright red.
Initially shy, Rook's got moves once the 80's hit kicks on. Sam laughs and squeals as he snakes up her body, then slithers down it. Opening her legs as he leans into her chest.
Everyone cheering him on as Luna passes Sam bills. Taking his shirt off, he jumps onto the couch. With Sam between his legs, he pulls her by the neck using his shirt. Grinding his hips in her face as she tucks bills into his waistband with encouragement. Hopping down, Rook shakes his ass against Sam's tits. Grinning and fully enjoying herself, she slaps it as he asks The Bus if they want One Lump or Two.
It is a phenomenal performance. Ashleigh, Sam and Luna clapping and whooping when he finishes. Rook beaming as his cheeks blaze maroon.
"Drummer Boy got them moves like Jagger!!" Sam teases him.
Sam has to take a shot when she rolls a 1. Ashleigh the same when she rolls a 3, having to go back two spaces. Benny rolls a 1 also. More shots, while Luna rolls a 5.
"Group selfie!!!" She shouts as they all pile in.
Somehow squeezing all nine of them together. Colson rolls a 6, landing on a Drink Water spot.
"This is bullshit." He complains as he chugs a bottle.
Baze rolls a 4, picking Rook to Colson's steady complaint.
"You have a beer in your hand, Ya nut!" Luna laughs at him as she kisses his cheek.
AJ rolls a 1, taking a shot. While Slim rolls a 3, having to go back two spaces for his own shot. Everyone drinking but Rook when he rolls a 4. Sam drinking water when she hits a 5. Colson laughs at Ashleigh when she rolls another 5, having to drink water too.
"I don't mind, dickhead." She snarks back with a smile, welcoming the water.
Hotel Diablo is bumping as they swig beers and pass joints. Everyone laughing and talking as they take their turn. Benny chooses Colson to take a shot on his 3. Luna having to talk in an accent for the rest of the game when she also rolls a 5.
"Blooty 'ell wit these fouves, Mates!" Luna horribly imitates Dom.
Colson starts to pout again when he only rolls a 2, until he realizes he gets to Make A Rule. No one is surprised when it's: He and Luna take a shot whenever ANYONE else has to drink anything.
"You fooking lush..." Luna slurs trying to perfect her accent.
"You're such an idiot." Colson laughs kissing her head as she nuzzles into him.
"Fucking water!!" Baze shouts out when he rolls a 2.
Colson and Luna taking shots with his water. Slim laughing at Luna's fucked up accent. More shots for everyone but AJ as he hits a 6. Slim being another victim of The Water with a 5. Luna and Colson taking a shot with him.
They carry on, laughing and teasing each other. Rook choosing to thumb wrestler Luna on his 2.
"Ahhh!! You're a cheater!!" Rook laughs as Luna swoops her thumb and pins him down.
"Ya got a Sweep the leg, Johnny!!"
Luna wiggles in happiness over her win. Making Rook laugh at her shitty accent.
Sam's 3 gets her dominated by Colson's big hands when she choses him as her opponent. Already feeling tipsy, Ashleigh's relieved when her 1 forces everyone to drink but her. Benny makes the rule that anytime anyone says Fuck they have to drink off of his 4. Things are gonna get wild now. Luna's forced to rhyme on a 2.
"Oi tell ye well. Burds loike me, go straight to blooty 'ell." Luna spits out as the room laughs.
Rook tosses her an approving elbow. Colson reminding her of his rap battle plans.
"You're an idiot." She laughs as she kisses him.
"Your idiot." He confirms with another kiss before taking his turn.
"FUCK yeah!!! Two shots!!" Colson stands up shouting when he rolls a 6. Benny reminds him of the Fuck Rule making it three.
"Word." Colson grins, lining up six shots.
Luna downing three with him. Taking another with Colson on Baze's 5. Laughing and talking, Sam and Slim get stuck with an extra shot for the Fuck Rule. AJ's 5 demands more shots from him, Luna and Colson. Making a Rule on his 2, Slim wants them to Caw-Caw like birds anytime Colson kisses Luna.
"That's not fucking cool, Dawg!" Colson exclaims.
That's another shot for them both. Stupid Fuck Rule. Rook rolls a 4. Making him, Colson and Luna pound their beers. It's a double round of shots for them also when the space makes him move ahead one too.
"Fucking, Eh... I mean Blooty 'ell!!" Luna tries to correct herself.
"SHOOOOOT!!" The Bus laughs at her.
"I was walking down the line. Feeling just fine. Till this ugly boy grabbed my behind. I had to drop him quick because, Bitch I'm a dime." Sam spits as her 3 makes her rhyme.
Luna laughs as Ashleigh high fives Sam. With The Boys impressed, Rook let's a Fucking Awesome slip. One, two, three... More shots for him, Colson and Luna.
"This efff ruullle is haaard, my dear boy." Luna complains to Benny, drawling out her letters and twisting her wrist in the air.
Benny laughs at her tipsy eyeballs. She leans into Colson, causing him to instinctively kiss her cheek. His whisper is interrupted by a rule.
"CAAW-CAAWW!!!" Slim drunkenly shouts as the room mimics The Caw-Caw Rule. Things are getting ridiculous.
"Oh Fuck..." Ashleigh sighs as her 6 makes her pound her beer to Colson and Luna's second. Plus, three shots each for the space jump and Fuck Rule.
Benny's 6 has the three of them down another two shots. They're all getting wasted. The Fuck Rule coming in so hardcore, they have to open another bottle of tequila. Luna's 5 requires a prank call. She decides on Pete.
"Elllllloooo!!! This is blooty Keith Mooon cawlling from the graave, Mate. Hoooow dooo you doooo?" She howls into the speaker phone.
"What the fuck is wrong with you?" Pete asks Luna, laughing.
"SHOOOOT!!!" The Bus screams making him understand.
Hanging up after a few minutes, Colson gives Luna a side eye when his 4 lands him on SAFE.
"What kinda shit is that?" He asks her drunken shrug.
Baze lands on Truth or Dare with his 4. Colson daring him to give Sam a Racer Shot. Luna lightly threatening him to leave her friend alone after she basically watches him spit a shot into her throat. Sam rolling her eyes and laughing at Luna. She's not worried about these Boys.
"NEVEAHHH!!!" Colson cackles, pulling Luna onto his lap.
"CAW-CAAAW!!" The Bus of drunks explodes as their lips meet. Laughter interrupting the kiss.
Another pounding of their beers and two more shots as AJ's 2 forces them on.
"I tink I'm blooty druuunk..." Luna laughs, accent taking on a life of its own. Now she sounds Irish. Or maybe British... They're all too drunk to care.
"FOOKING 'ELL!!" Luna exclaims with wide eyes.
Slim rolled a 5, landing with AJ. Another pounded beer, round of shots and an extra for Luna and the Fuck Rule. Joints are still flowing, everyone's having a good time making their way around the gameboard.
With another 4, Rook lands SAFE with Colson. Sam's 3 gets her hit with a Truth or Dare. Choosing Dare, Luna cuts in.
"Oi daaare you, koind laaty to allow me to give you a Sharpie Facial." Luna drunkenly dares her.
Sam accepts allowing Luna to give a wicked, twisted mustache and goatee on her face. The Bus erupting into laughter. Rook shouting CAW-CAAW!! as Colson tries to tell Luna he loves her.
"What the fuck." He complains to another round of shots for him and Luna.
Ashleigh slides into SAFE on her 4, Benny's Shot Whore means another round for Luna and Colson also. Luna hits Never Have I Ever with a 5.
"Neva ave oi eva fooked..."
"Shot!!" Sam yells at her.
After slamming it with Colson and trying to hold any kind of accent Luna starts again. "Neva ave Oi eva BANGED a midget while blooted owff caCANE." She grins as she raises her hand.
Roaring, everyone raises theirs but Benny. They all look at him.
"What? I like small bitches and it snows a lot in NYC." His explanation met with snorting and howling.
They're almost halfway through and everyone's pretty wasted. They've switched from Hotel Diablo and are blaring Outkast's Aquemini. The southern groove catching their hips. Joking and smoking, they try to proceed on.
Colson rolls a 5, landing on a space that kicks him back ten. The new space calling for him to down his drink and move forward to two more shots. Lining 'em up, Luna follows behind him. This being around the fourth or fifth beer she's pounded.
Rolling a 1, Baze pulls who's ever closest to him for another selfie. AJ, Rook, Slim, Colson and Luna. They look trashed.
AJ's 6 knocks him back one, calling for shots from him, Luna and Colson. Slim grabs a 3, choosing to Prank Call LaMar. Laughing so hard, he can't make it through the call.
Mar calls back confused with another What the Fuck? The drunk friends not making any sense and screaming SHOT at him, he hangs up.
Rook rolls a 3, his space demanding whoever has the most beer to Neck It. Down goes Ashleigh, Luna and Colson's beers. Sam's 5 has her Move Back One to Shot Whore. The couple follows her down her shot hatch.
Everyone is loud and laughing. Baze falls out of his chair with a Fuck and 3 shots. Forgetting about it, Colson almost spits out his beer when he catches Sam's facial art.
"CAW-CAAW!!!!" They shout as he kisses Luna over her masterpiece.
Ashleigh was safe until she rolled a 5. Knocking her back ten spaces with Colson. The three of them pounding their beers and slamming another round of shots as called for.
"Fuuuck..." Escapes from her mouth as she wipes the tequila off her chin. That's another shot for the three of them.
"Oi blooty ate yooou!!" Luna laughs.
"You gonna eat her?" Slim teases. "That's a show I never thought I'd see!" He laughs.
Forgetting to use her accent, Luna laughs out a Fuck You. That's another shot for her and Colson. They're about to crack their third fifth of tequila. Landing on Flip a Coin with his 5, Benny lands on heads. Six more shots. Two a piece between him, Colson and Luna.
"You really fucked us." Luna drunkenly kisses Colson afterwards.
"SHA-CAWT!!!!" Baze screams.
Placing her face in her hands, Luna laughs uncontrollably. It takes a moment for her to take her Fuck Rule shot. It's another two shots for her, Ashleigh and Sam when Luna lands on a 3, making only the girls drink. And Colson.
