Connie plopped next to me in the dugout. "How's Luis doing?"

I looked up at her. "Oh, he's good. He came home yesterday."

She gasped. "He did?!"

I nodded. "Yeah...did he not tell you?"

She shook her head. "No, he hasn't spoken to any of us."

"Oh," I mumbled. "That's odd."

She shrugged. "It's okay, he just needs some time to recover."

I nodded. "Yeah."

I then felt Benny plop next to me. "What's happening over here?"

"Oh, we were just talking about Luis," Connie stated.

He frowned. "Is something wrong with him?"

I swallowed. "He was in the hospital."

Benny gasped lightly. "Oh, I am so sorry."

I shrugged. "Don't be. He made a stupid decision and paid the price."

"Oh, um, what did he do?"

I sighed. "We got into an argument and he tried to drown out his pain with drinking but...that didn't work out very well."

"Ah..." He nodded his head up. "Was it because of me?"

My eyebrow raised in confusion. "How would it be because of you?"

He shrugged. "I don't know. I think I upset him when I was teaching you how to play baseball."

"No, it wasn't your fault," I reassured. "He was just...caught up in his head."

"Oh, well, I hope he's doing okay."

I nodded. "He is."

"That's good..." Benny awkwardly sighed.

We just sat in silence and Connie looked at us back and forth. "Um, okay, this is awkward. Lia, let's go."

Connie then grabbed my hand and started pulled me by her side, leaving Benny there alone. He didn't seem to mind though.

"Connie, what are we doing?" I sighed.

"Getting you out of that awkward conversation." She chuckled.

I rolled my eyes playfully. "It wasn't that awkward."

She shrugged. "Whatever."

Luis laughed loudly as I gently tickled him. He squirmed around and I laughed along with him.

"Molly, stop!" He begged.

I immediately stopped and my face turned into confusion. "Molly? Who the fuck is Molly?"

He looked at me while catching his breath. "What?"

"You said, Molly..."

He shook his head. "No, I said Amelia..."

"No, you didn't," I denied. "Babe, who's Molly?"

He swallowed. "I don't know a Molly."

I scoffed. "You just said, Molly!"

"That was an accident!" He defended.
