Forever - Christian Yelich

The City That Never Sleeps.

Brooklyn~

"Can I have the keys? I left my bag in the car. I'm not sure if I'll have time to get out there before we leave," I tell Christian in the clubhouse. He reaches into his locker and grabs the keys to his car before handing them to me. "Thank you. I'll be back in here soon." 

"Can you grab my charger that's in there too?" he asks me when I was about to turn away. "Yeah. Are you heading toward the trainer's room?"

"Yeah, I'll be in there soon."

I make my way out to his car and grab my work bag that was behind my seat. I reach over and also grab the charger from the USB port. We were headed to New York City tonight to hopefully finish this series tomorrow. We leave right after the game, with little time in between the end of the game and the time we need to board the bus. We lead 1-0 and they did pretty well last night. I'm just hoping it'll stay like this.

I jog back into the stadium and make it back to the clubhouse to return his keys and give him his charger. "Here. Are you coming back with me?"

"Yeah," he slings his arm around my shoulders and we walk back to the trainer's room. 

I look up at him, "Are you nervous?"

"A little, not really though. I think we got this."

I smile, "You guys got this."

I set my bag down in my chair before heading back out to the multiple guys who are waiting to be seen. I head over to Christian so he can get out and hit bp. 

"Brooklyn, can you hurry up?" Ryan says yelling across the room. I look up at Christian and shake my head. "Brooklyn?"

I look over at him, "Can you give me a minute?"

"No." I let out a breath and turn back to Christian. 

"You're going to miss that aren't you?" Christian whispers to me. 

"What are you guys talking about?" Ryan shouts across the room and the rest of the guys start to quietly laugh.

I laugh and look back at Ryan, "Yeah. I'm gonna miss that so much."

I finish up with Christian, "You probably should get over there otherwise he won't stop."

I throw my head back and Christian laughs. "Well, you're good to go."

"You have fun with Ryan." I roll my eyes and let him get down from the bed.

I walk over to Ryan, "You are so impatient."

"I know. I can't mess with you for much longer so why not do it."

"Don't remind me about that."

"You act like I won't be around."

"I know you will be, but it's just going to be weird for the first couple of months or the entire season. Do you actually need anything?"

"Yeah, uh, can you just wrap my wrists? I gotta go hit bp soon."

This game is flying by. It's the bottom of the 8th and the guys are absolutely killing it. 10-3 and it seemed like all of the guys were just having incredible nights. All of them were showing up at the plate, pitching was incredible tonight. The smile hasn't left my face since the beginning of the game.

I watch as the guys start to gather their gloves and head to the field. Three more outs. I feel like this whole season went by way too fast. I still can't believe it's October and they only have about 3 weeks left of the season. Then Christian and I are in full wedding mode. Or at least I'll be.
