" Jordan !! Your rides here lastpost !" MrGregory shouts from down stairs and I roll my eyes , standing up from my bed I grab my backpack and make my way down stairs , kids move out of my way avoiding eye contact as I make my way through them , Jackson glares at me from his place on the couch though his glare doesn't intimidate me what so ever especially with the black eye on his face

" you know I'm really gonna miss this place " I say sarcastically once I reach the door where MrGregory is waiting for me "the fights ,the shitty  food " I shake my head and smile at him "it's a stars dream to live like this "

He rolls his eyes at me and points to the door " leave " I smirk and make my way out the door , as soon as I make eye contact with Alex a sad smile makes it's way on my face , I run into her arms and sigh into her chest

" thanks for coming back " I mumble out as I hug her tightly

" I'm always gonna come back for you " Alex says as she pulls away from me " come on , we have a goodbye party to get to , our flight leaves tonight " I nod my head and get into the car with Alex 

" hey lex ? " I ask as we start driving away

"Yeah kid?" Alex says glancing at me for a second then back at the road 

"I think I'm gonna take Jill up on her offer " I say as i fiddle with my fingers "is that okay ?" A big smile forms on her face and she starts to laugh

"What ? What's so funny ?"

She ignores my question and continues to laugh

"Alex" I wine out and she finally stops laughing

"S-sorry it's just that...all everyone has wanted on the team is for you to play with us " she shakes her head "now you're telling me that you want to and asking me if I'm okay with it " she starts laughing again

"Of course I'm okay with it Jordan , I'd more then happy to have you play " shes smiles at me again and I let out a small chuckle

" okay maybe me asking was kinda silly "

*********************
We pull up to joes and I smile seeing hope along with Sara and mike waiting out side the door
As Alex parks the car I turn to her with a goofy smile

" hey Alex "

"Yep " she says turning to me as she smiles and I smirk

" you think Tobin is a bit jealous that you and hope adopted me and not you and her " I question and her face goes red

"Wh-why would she be jealous ?" She stutters " I mean you're a great k-kid but I don't think she'd be jealous of that I-i don't-" I start laughing and put my hand over her mouth

" she likes you , you like her , do something about it" I shrug and Alex rolls her eyes at me

" I'll do something about Tobin when you do something about Sara " she smirks at me and I turn away and glance out the car window

"It's different with us , I'm not good for her and well she doesn't like as much as she thinks she does " I mumble out

" what do you mean ? " she asks and I sigh

" It doesn't matter , let's go have some fun " i step out of the car and put on a smile

Walk over to Sara and mike I pull them into a group hug" 3 days felt like 3 years you bum " mikes says causing me to laugh

" I'm back aren't I ? " I smirk at him and he rolls his eyes

" you have bruise under your chin " Sara says pushing my head up , I push her hand away and shake my head
