Batter Up: Chapter 1
This is my first attempt at a Fanfic and I am super nervous to be posting this, but I hope you enjoy it and let me know what you think!
I do not own any of the characters that belong to Wynonna Earp.
Freshman Move-in Day at Purgatory College:
"Come on baby girl! Get a move on we are just moving across town, you don't need to bring your whole life with you in one trip!" Wynonna calls to Waverly from the living room of their Aunt Gus' house.
"Give her a break Wyn, she is just nervous to be moving." Gus said as she nudged Wynonna's shoulder.
Waverly was in her room running through her list one more time while she looked at the bare walls she had surrounding her. "I can't help but think I am missing something-" Waverly thought to herself, but her thought was interrupted when Wynonna came barging through the closed door.
"Let's go!" Wynonna yelled as she dragged on the "o" with a hint of annoyance in her voice.
Waverly rolled her eyes and smiled at her impatient older sister. "Okay, keep your pants on, I just want to make sure I have everything I will need right away since freshmen start practice tomorrow morning. Why doesn't the rest of the team need to be there too? I find it very unfair." Waverly said as she pouted her lower lip at her sister who was practically dragging her little sister across the house.
"Baby girl, I've told you all of the freshmen have to go through the week of Hell before the rest of us move into the mix of things. But don't worry, your fearless captains will be there making sure you don't keel over on the field." Wynonna stated sarcastically with a shit-eating grin on her face.
"Way to make me feel better Wyn." Waverly scoffed at her sister. Waverly was so nervous to be starting college courses as well as softball practice. She was hesitant to take the full-ride offer to Purgatory College because her older sister was the captain and one of the star returners. She was afraid that maybe she might be living in the shadow of her older sister for all of her career. But Waverly weighed her options and with Wynonna being her only family besides Gus, she didn't want to be too far away. So before she talked herself out of it during her senior year of high school, she accepted the offer to Purgatory College.
Purgatory High Waverly's Senior Year:
Waverly stood in the gym with two school options in front of her, she could either head to the States to play for a small school that had been looking at her for her whole high school career, or stay put in Purgatory and join her sister Wynonna at Purgatory College. Waverly had stayed up the whole night before her signing day trying to make the decision that might not crush her sister and aunt. Ever since Waverly has been little Wynonna and her Aunt Gus were the only family she had. During one of her many panic attacks the night before she called her boyfriend Champ.
"Babe why are you even going to college? We can just live off of the money you make working at Shorty's and we'll be fine. I'll even go look for a job. Then we can just focus on shutting that brain off for a little while. Don't that sound nice baby?" Champ said with a flirtatious tone.
Waverly rolled her eyes so hard she thought they might get lost inside her head. "No Champ," she said popping the "p" as she tried to sound as angry as she could, "I am not going to 'shut my brain off' and not go to college. Ya know, you are absolutely no help in this matter. Why don't you call me when you start thinking with your brain?!" Waverly practically yelled at him. From the other side of the line she heard him start to stammer something out but she was so mad she hung up before she heard his pathetic response. "Why do I even date this idiot?" she whispered aloud to herself.
"Waves! Waves! Hello?" she heard as she snapped back to reality, realizing she had a hand on her shoulder shaking her.
"What? Oh, hi sorry! I just didn't get much sleep last night." As she turned to see who brought her back to her senses her eyes met her Aunt's worried gaze.
"Honey, you look exhausted, did you sleep at all?" Gus said in a worried tone.
The youngest Earp girl looked down at her feet in embarrassment. "I just couldn't figure out where I wanted to go and then I had a fight with-" She was cut off by a curt voice.
"Champ the chump? You just need to dump his ass Waves, he's only bringing you down." She heard a familiar voice chime in. Wynonna came over to wrap Waverly in a hug. "Baby girl, you need to take care of yourself."
"I know Wyn, I just got anxious last night." Waverly said with a little blush building up in her cheeks. "I promise I am taking care of myself."
"Earp!" a gruff voice yelled across the gym. Both Wynonna and Waverly turned their heads as they were conditioned to answering this voice they knew very well. Coach Nedley came walking into the gym with his normal khaki shorts and polo shirt on. "Are we gonna get this show on the road or what? My gym isn't going to be occupied all day by this decision," Nedley said with a smirk as he came and put a rough hand on both of the Earp girls' shoulders.
"Yes, sorry coach we were just going to get started on my decision." Waverly said with a chipper voice.
Waverly was one of the best pitchers around, surprising as she only stood at 5'3 and looked rather skinny to be any sort of athlete. She had many offers throughout her junior and senior year of high school but she had narrowed it down to the two colleges she thought would be the best for her major of foreign languages and history. "I think I have finally made my decision." Waverly said loud enough for her to hear but nobody else with a smile plastered on her face pointed at her sister and aunt.
Gus's House:
"Honey, there is no need for tears, you'll only be 15 minutes away from my house. I will be just fine. Now go before you are late for freshman check-in." Gus said as she pushed Waverly towards Wynonna's full truck.
"C'mon baby girl, we have a lot of unpacking to do with all this shit!" Wynonna exclaimed as she pointed to the back end of her truck.
Waverly wiped her eyes with the back of her hand and gave a little shy wave to her loving aunt. "I love you!" She yelled as she jumped into the passenger seat of the truck.
