Daddy's Little Girl

Ch. 39

Next week is my deadline to get back on the court. I did get back on the court but it hurts having to jump. My legs aren't fully recovered yet. I shouldn't even be on this court.But I need to get into Miami U.

"Jauregui. You're doing it all wrong. Are you sure you're ready?" No.

"Yes coach." Coach eyed my leg. It was purple from my scar.

"Jauregui I'm sorry but I can't say you're ready when your leg looks like that. I'm sorry."

"What no. I need to get into Miami U"

"Jauregui, they wanted you to play, if you can't play you can't go. I'm truly sorry." Coach walked out the gym. Fuck Fuck FUCK!!

I drove home upset, maybe they'll accept me even if I don't play? I'll ask my counciler tomarrow.

"Hey honey how was therapy?" I didn't tell her about going back to the gym. I know she'll get mad.

"Fine."

I went to my room and almost died of a heart attack. Camila jumped from behind the door. "Boo!!"

"Camila what the fuck!!" I said raising my voice I groaned and sat down with my head resting on my hands.

"Babe are you okay? Did something happen at Therapy?"

"No. Nothing happened because I didn't go."

"Lauren-"

"I went to the school gym and practiced my shots, but my leg wouldn't help. It hurt so bad. Coach saw me and said I wasn't ready to play. He said he's not going to let me play if I'm still injured."

"No Miami U?"

I shook my head staring at a spot on my rug.

"Than neither am I"

"Babe but you're already accepted. You-"

"Lauren you didn't even notice we both got into the University of South Florida. You were too busy worrying about basketball you didn't see it come in."

"That's in Tampa"

"I know. We can go there, get a place of our own.."

"You really want to deal with me 24/7 ?"

"Yeah."

________

"There is no way you two are going to Tampa."

"But dad it's the only place we could go together-" Camila was cut off my Alejandro. This is the Alejandro I have been avoiding.

"So if Lauren decided not to go to college you wouldn't go either?"

"Dad that's not what I mean. Look we'll visit every week and we'll call. And we'll have each other so we wont be alone." Camila kept pleading but Alejandro stood with his arms crossed.

"Karla, I said no."

"Alejandro, I think the girls should have the full college experience. I think they should go." Sinu said looking at my mom who nodded at her.

"How is my little pumpkin going to live with her girlfriend? I am pretty sure there will be a lot more done at night than just studying." Not if you're around.

"Clara, what do you two think?" Sinu turned to mom asking for help.

"We both trust Lauren. I think they should go." Awww.

"Alejandro?" Sinu looked up at Alejandro with pleading eyes.

"Now I'm the bad guy.." He said flaring his arms up.

"Dad please. I'm not that hopeless little girl from middle school anymore. I know what I'm doing. And Lauren is really responsible, she'll protect me. She always does."

"I do" I winked at Camila but I saw her dad watching and I quickly looked away. I heard him sigh deeply.

"Fine. Fine. Go, but no fooling around at night Jauregui." He pointed at me and I quickly nodded.
