When Our Memories Fade

"Tobin I thought you said you weren't drinking tonight?"

"It's just one shot with my Tar Heels Kelley relax"

"Tobin I'm just warning you I don't want you to get flat out drunk again okay?"

"I'll be okay Kel don't worry"

8 shots later Tobin was feeling a little more than tipsy. As everyone started to make their way out to the dance floor Tobin stumbled along to join them. Although she wasn't the best dancer or enjoyed dancing at all the alcohol dragged her out there hoping for a good time. At the other end of the bar Christen and Alex were just finishing up their poorly planned dare.

"See I told you Stanny grads can out drink Cal grads" Christen said in heavily slurred voice.

"Whatever Card, I can probably hold down my alcohol better than you"

"We'll see who's waking up first to throw up Cal"

 "Let's go out to the dance floor"

"Feeling frisky huh Stanny?"

"Just shut up and come with me"

Tobin spotted Alex and Christen making their way through the dance floor when they were stopped by two attractive looking guys. They talked for a little while dancing before the dancing took over and both strikers were pressed up against the men that held their attention. The dancing became overly dirty and it made Tobin's blood boil as she witnessed the whole thing happen. When Christen turned around and wrapped her arms around the man's neck and he started to lean in Tobin had reached her breaking point and decided to march her way over there. Liquid courage allowed her to pull Christen away from him and press her front into Christen's back.

"Hey dude get your fucking paws off she's mine"

"Thats why she was totally about to make out with me because she's yours right"

"Actually I am hers" Christen spoke up before turning around a placing a sloppy kiss on Tobin's lips leaving her shocked.

"Ugh whatever dykes" the man said before stomping away.

"What was that for Chris?"

"I didn't you want to start a fight Toby" the striker giggled while turning around and squishing the midfielder's cheeks together.

"Oh...do you see Alex? or did you see where she went?"

"Why do you care about her so much?" Christen frowned.

"Uh I'm just worried about her safety she's still our teammate yunno"

"Well stop worrying about our 'teammate' and dance with me instead" The shorter striker whispered into Tobin's ear.

With Christen's back to Tobin's front and Tobin's hands on Christen's waist they began to move to the music. The friction caused by Christen's ass grinding on Tobin's center for a few songs was enough to make her turn the forward around and slam their lips together. The kiss was electrifying and left both of them wanting more. Christen took Tobin's hand and led her to the back of the bar where she shoved her back up against a wall and continued to kiss her. It didn't take long for her to grant access to Tobin's tongue, and before she knew it Tobin had two hands underneath her short black dress gripping her ass. As the midfielder transitioned to kissing down her neck and her right hand started to sneak it's way dangerously close to the strikers core, Christen reached a breaking point.

"Tobin fucking Heath if we don't go back to the hotel right now you're going to have to take me right here in the back of this bar"

"Let's go then babe" As they tried their best to make a sly exit Tobin remembered that she was rooming with Kelley and Christen was rooming with Alex.

"Shit Chris baby hold on a second what about our roommates" Tobin said as soon as they walked outside.

"Alex thinks I'm with that guy so I can just tell her I slept with him, and Kelley shouldn't be a problem we can trust her right? Just tell her to find another room that's not Alex's to sleep in?"

"That should work I'll text Kelley right now...although I don't like the idea of you 'sleeping' with him...you're all mine"

"Hmmm yeah but we can't have Alex knowing that can we Toby"

"Of course not she might get a little...jealous"

"Just text Kelley already so we can go back to your room already baby"

"On it"

Me: I ned u 2 do me a favors but kease for tje luv of God dnt say anyting. I nrrd u 2 sleep in anither roum 2nite but it cnt b alexs. thx

Tobin was never the best drunk texter but at this point it didn't really matter.

"Alrighty done now let's get out of here"

"Finally I'm dying here baby"

Tobin grabbed Christen's hand and practically sprinted towards the hotel. Since Christen was very drunk and also in heels it was extremely hard for her to keep up, so Tobin opted to carry her bridal style the rest of the way. As soon as they reached the hotel lobby Tobin set the forward down and they bolted their way up to the elevator. Once inside Tobin pinned the her against the wall and started to attack her neck. Holding her arms above her head with one hand she cupped Christen's center with the other.

"A thong huh babe?" Tobin said hooking her finger under the thin string like material and pulling down as far as she could before letting it snap back.

"mhmmm" is all she could manage to moan out.

"God you are soaking...who did this to you Chris?" Tobin growled into her ear as she ran her palm over Christen's wetness.

"Oh God Tobin please" she moaned out again.

"I'm not letting you out of this elevator until you tell me" Tobin said while adding more pressure. At this point they had reached their floor but Tobin kept her body pressed against the 'door closed' button.

"Oh God You!! You!! I am soaked because of you Tobin!!"

"That's what I like to hear baby" Tobin said while releasing her and giving her ass a hard squeeze before letting her walk out.

"Tobin would you hurry your ass up please. I am literally dying here" Christen said standing in front of Tobin's hotel room while Tobin took her sweet time walking down the hall.

When Tobin finally reached the door she slid the key in and took it out once the light turned green. Being the gentleman she is she opened the door for Press and let her walk in first, but once they got inside she slammed the door shut and pinned their smaller striker against it.

"You better watch how you talk to me and have some patience because you're in for a long night baby"

Kelley woke up in the same bed as Syd dazed and confused. She looked around trying to assess her situation and why she ended up here.

Why the hell am I in Syd's room? Alright I have all my clothes on. Okay if we're sleeping in the same bed that means someone else is in the other bed. Emily? I don't think they're roommates. Who's Syd's roommate? Ali. And Sonnet's roommate is Ash. Ohhhh. Sexiled. I see. So why am I here. I'll just go through my texts and pictures real quick for any clues or evidence..... Oh there it is. Tobin probably picked up some smoking hot babe from the bar. I'll give her a hard time about it later. Wait why couldn't I sleep in Alex's room. Who's Alex's roommate...? Oh fuck. She did not. Tobin did not fucking sleep with Christen. Oh my god.

Kelley sat up and looked what she was wearing. Definitely not her clothes she went out in last night. She was wearing a baby blue UCLA t-shirt and some black us soccer sweats. Carefully she got out of bed and looked for some shoes to wear before finding the shoes she wore last night. She grabbed Syd's room key from the night stand and wrote a note using the hotel stationary.

Lost my room key and slept in your room last night. Grabbed your room key and went out to get coffee. Will bring some back to you and Em. Will be back soon

-Kelley

Fortunately Kelley wasn't too hammered last night so she could function and move around properly. She put the note down on Syd's night stand and left the room as quietly as possible. She made her way down the hall looking around for anyone to meet up with but it was pretty early and not that many people were up yet. She stopped when she reached Alex's door and heard a lot of noise that sounded like stumbling and puking. She knocked on the door just to make sure that Alex was okay. After about a minute of waiting the door was finally opened.

"Hey Kel what's up" a disheveled and disoriented looking Alex said as she stood in the doorway.

"Oh I was just getting coffee and I walked by and heard something and I just wanted to make sure you were okay"

"Yeah I'm good, just hungover. God I made some terrible decisions last night. Wait are you wearing a UCLA shirt??"

"I forgot my room key and slept in Syd's room last night. Anyways, What'd you do last night baby horse?" Kelley chuckled while asking

"Well me and Christen were arguing over who could out drink the other. I said there was no way a Stanford grad could out drink a Cal grad-"

"First mistake right there. You can never out drink a Stanny grad"

"I know that now but anyways Christen completely floored me with her drinking skills. Then we decided to dance and we were dancing with these guys and I saw Christen getting a little touchy feely with this guy. I turned around to talk to my guy for a minute and then I turn and Christen and the guy both disappeared and that's the last thing I remembered"

"You think Christen went home with him?"

"Well she never made it back to the room so probably"

"God Alex you and Christen are fucking ridiculous man" Kelley said laughing but she secretly felt guilty because she knew who Christen really went home with.

"Hey I wasn't planning on getting that hammered" Alex laughed back.

"Well I'm gonna go get coffee do you wanna come with me or do you want me to bring you back anything?"

"Currently I am a hungover mess and hate myself right now so I'll pass on going but if you could bring me back a coffee with 2 creams and Advil you would be my favorite person in the world."

"Gotchya"

Christen woke up and felt the presence of someone else in the bed with her. She looked up down at herself and realized she was naked. She looked down and saw long tan arms wrapped around her waist. She turned around slowly trying not to wake the other person to see that it was Tobin Heath. Her heart immediately started racing. Did I really sleep with her last night? She wasn't sure if she should get up and leave or stay. Panicking she picked up the first few articles of clothing she could find and left the room as quietly as she could. As soon as she stepped out of the room she bumped into something and stumbled backward.

"Shit sorry I didn't see you-Chris?" Kelley said after realizing she had bumped into her fellow Stanford grad. She examined the girl and noticed she was wearing a UNC tarheel shirt and number 17 shorts. "You just came from Tobin's room didn't you?"

Christen just nodded as tears started streaming down her face.

"Shhh it's okay Chris. its okay, come here" The older girl said pulling Press into her. Kelley just held her as she cried into her shoulder. "Tobin doesn't know you left yet does she?"

Again Christen just shook her head and continued to cry.

"It's okay Chris it's okay." Kelley said running her back. "But we do have to take care of some business here. First of all Alex thinks you went home with some guy so you have to play it off like that actually happened. Second of all you can't do that if you're wearing a UNC t-shirt and number 17 shorts. Third I'm actually getting coffee and Advil right now and I think it'd be a good idea if you came"

"Yeah you're right. Thank you" Press said wiping her eyes and detaching herself from Kelley.

After they picked up 5 coffees and a large bottle of Advil they walked back up to their floor and decided they needed to come up with a plan to get Christen at least some new shorts. They tried to think about who they could trust and ended up deciding on McCaffrey and Dunn because they were never really too involved in the drama. When they knocked on their door they didn't have to wait too long for an answer.

"Jesus it's like 7 am sharp you two are the last people I would expect to be awake" Dunn said answering the door.

"Why are you guys here anyways? And why are you wearing a UCLA shirt and you wearing a Tarheeld shirt?"

"Long story actually, can you just let us in before anyone else sees us please?" Kelley said slightly chuckling.

"Fine fine come in" The forward said stepping out of the way of the door.

"Kelley? Christen? What the hell?" Steph said sitting up in her bed.

"Yeah long story" Kelley said sitting down at the edge of crystals bed.

"Yes would you mind telling me why you showed up at our door at 7 am this fine morning?"

"Do you wanna start?" Kelley said looking at Christen.

The puffy eyed forward sighed before saying, "Sure why not, but don't interrupt just let me tell the story. So me and Alex finally starting bonding after all that drama or whatever so we deciding to go out drinking without the rest of the team. And then we were arguing over whether a Stanford grad could out drink a Cal grad. Well I easily out drank Alex, but I was still very intoxicated at the time. So we decide to dance a little a bit and then we meet these guys out there sand start dancing with them and I guess Tobin saw me and got jealous or whatever so she came over and started arguing with the guy and I could tell she was going to punch him or something ,so I kissed her to get the guy to leave. I mean it worked I think. So me and Tobin start dancing and eventually making out. And then things got heated very quickly so Tobin texted Kelley telling her to find another room but not Alex's room if I'm correct. Because it would've crushed Alex now that me and her started bonding if she found out that I had gone and slept with Tobin the same night. So I end up hooking up with Tobin or whatever and Kelley ended up sleeping in Syd's room with everyone else who was sexiled. S he woke up super early and decided to get coffee, but I guess she already talked to Alex this morning and Alex thinks I slept with that guy from last night. So I wake up a little after Kelley and I roll over and see Tobin and I freak out. I was not about to stay and let Tobin break my heart again. I can't trust her to have my heart again. Not after what happened two months ago. I thought finally after all this time, Tobin had realized maybe Alex wasn't the one for her, maybe I was. But I was wrong. I was wrong to think she wanted anything from me besides a hookup. Anyways I freak out and I grab a random shirt, shorts and slides, and leave. As soon as I walk out the door I bump into Kelley and she tells about Alex and then we get coffee and here we are now."

"A simple 'I hooked up with Tobin, Alex can't know, and I bumped into Kelley after I left' would've worked but thank you for sharing." Kelley said laughing and looking at Christen.

"Hey shut up" The forward gave her a little shove.

"Awww pressy I'm so sorry " Crystal said giving the girl a hug.

"It's okay I just really need some pants and shoes because Alex is going to start to wonder what's taking Kelley so long."

"Alright alright gotchu"

"You have to swear on your life not to tell anyone you guys" Christen said after changing into some sweats and running shoes.

"Alright alright we swear" Steph said opening the door for them.

"Thanks for everything Crystal and you too McCaff" They left the room and made their way to Alex's room knocking on the door.

"Hey Kell you're finally back with coffee and Advil thank God."

"Yeah and I bumped into someone on the way" Kelley said stepping aside to reveal Christen.

"Where'd you end last night huh press?" Alex said smirking.

"Oh god I don't even remember his name."

"Where'd you get that clothes?"

"We had to stop at Crystal's room this morning for clothes" Kelley said interrupting.

"Jesus you're lucky Jill or Dawn didn't catch you this morning." Alex said chuckling.

"Right now I just need sleep and Advil" Christen said walking into the room and plopping down on her bed.

"Thanks for the coffee Kels. I'll see you later." Alex laughed.

"Team bonding at 10:00 right?"

"Yeah I'm pretty sure"

"Alright I'll see you later than lex"

"See ya Kelley" Alex said before closing the door. "So tell me" she said turning to Christen. "How was he?"

"He was the best I've ever had" Christen said with a smile on her face before falling asleep.
