Hooked // C.H (completed)

twenty-nine

I ran a hand through my hair because of nerves. I have never seen Adley drunk "off her rails". I've seen her tipsy but never drunk to the point she didn't know what was happening.

I was also nervous about what was said. I know the coach has been an asshole lately- an asshole to the point she's considered quitting. She's not happy at basketball anymore and honestly, it's destroying her.

I heard a car pull up outside so I headed outside. Miya got out of the driver's seat just as I walked over. I rounded the car to the passenger's side and opened the door seeing my girlfriend basically blacked out in the seat,

"Hey baby" I whispered, leaning in and unbuckling her,

"Cally!" she squealed, throwing her arms around me and pulling me,

"Let's get you inside and to bed" I spoke, slowly taking her arms off of me,

"Calum" she gasped, "Miya's right there"

I sighed,

"We're not having sex" I spoke. Adley pouted and crossed her arms,

"That's mean"

"Sorry Ads. We're not having sex with you like this" I sighed. Hell, we haven't even had sex since the miscarriage so we're definitely not having it while she's drunk.

I picked Adley up bridal style and carried her inside. Miya sped off as soon as she was out of
the car.

I sat Adley on my bed and opened my drawers, grabbing a T-shirt for her to wear,

"But I'm dirty still" she whined as I turned around. That's when I realized she was still in her practice uniform,

"I wanna shower" she pouted,

"How about a bath since I'm going to have to help you" I suggested, grabbing her another pair of panties for after. She nodded tiredly and we moved to the bathroom.

Adley sat on the closed toilet lid while I filled the bath tub. Once there was water in it, I helped her get undressed and in the water. She simply sat there with her eyes closed.

Once she was clean, I braided her hair and helped her get dressed and into bed. She immediately curled up under the covers. I stripped to my boxers and got in bed with her, turning her on her side and laying behind her, holding her,

"Go to sleep baby"

< next morning >
< Saturday 29th >

Adley was still asleep, as I expected, when I got up. While she slept, I got a lot of stuff done. I worked out, had groceries delivered and got them put away, did a meditation with Roy, and worked on some cords for 5SOS5.

But around 11:00, I headed to my room to check on Adley. I was surprised when I saw she was awake, taking the pills with the water I had left on the side table,

"Hi Addie" I spoke, stepping to her and sitting on the bed next to her, "You feel okay?"

"I feel like shit" she croaked, "I'm sorry you had to take care of me"

"That's okay baby" I whispered, taking her hand, "You wanna tell me what happened?"

She looked down and started to play with my fingers,

"Coach told me that I shouldn't have fucked around with you and gotten pregnant and that I was the best and now I suck so bad I may get kicked off the team"

I saw a tear fell and I quickly wiped it,

"He's just been so rude and so degrading lately. He was never like this. And he does it in front of the team" she cried.

"Baby" I kissed her head, "Adley, this is like the sixth or seventh time he's said shit to you about that"

I hated this. She's getting bullied for having a miscarriage.

"I know" she nodded, "I think I'm going to quite"

"Then quite and move in here with me. I hate seeing you so down because of basketball"

Adley stayed quiet before moving into my hold, burying her face in my neck,

"I love you so much"

"And I love you more" I spoke, "I just want you to do what's best for you and your physical and mental health"

"I know and I appreciate that" she nodded, "After my hangover goes away, I'm calling coach and quitting"

"Good" I smiled, "But don't quite because I told you that you should. Do what you think is best for you"

"I know. I'm quitting because I know I can't handle anymore of that abuse" she spoke, "And then I'll be living with the love of my life"
