Chapter 6: The game?

It was the next morning, game day. I got up and saw that it was 8:15. We usually meet up at the sandlot around 9:30 but we have a game so we said 9 instead.

I sat up in bed and grabbed my phone, I had gotten more messages. Mainly from Sydney, Chris and more of my friends from back home but also from Logan.

I decided to open them to see what he wanted.
Logan<3
I stared at his name for second, I took out the heart since it was there when we were together.

Logan: Hey, I'm sorry about last night, I was being a real jerk. I was just jealous that you were hanging out with new guys.
Me: Yeah, you were. Also you don't have to be jealous, we're not together anymore.

I was about to put my phone back down when I heard it buzz.
Logan
He replied,
Logan: I know that, but I still love you and I want you back.
Me: I know you do Logan, I don't. I hate to say it but it's true, you were a real jerk to me all the fucking time and I'm over you now okay.
Logan: I know you are and no I wasn't. Also I'm never gonna get over you, you were my everything.
Me: get over it Logan, I gtg I have a game.
Logan: good luck beautiful:)
Me: Goodbye Logan.

I rolled my eyes and put my phone down. I got changed into:

I walked downstairs to see dad and Luke talking at the table. "Morning Kins" my dad said, turning to me.

"Morning dad" I said, a little surprised. He seems genuinely happy and was talking to Luke. Luke didn't seem to mind it either.

"Dad got a job" Luke said, looking at me wide eyed. "Oh good" I said, smiling at him. "Yep and speaking of work, I gotta go" he got up and kissed me on the head walking by.

This was the first time in a while that he was in a good mood, I'm not mad about it, I'm just surprised. I looked at Luke, he looked as surprised as me. We both shrugged, "ok Bye kids" he said, closing the door behind him.

I turned to look at Luke, "what just happened" I said, sitting down at the table. "I have no idea, he seemed actually-" "happy" we said in unison.

"Yeah" he giggled. I checked my phone and realized I should probably get going. "Ok at I have a game today so I should get going" I said, getting up from the table.

"Can I come with you" Luke said, standing up. No. "Ugh are you sure" I said, hoping he would change his mind. "Yeah" he said, walking over to me.

"What about Jacob?" I said, still hoping he'd just stay. I love him and all but he gets all weird in front of my guy friends. Like scaring them I think, brothers, I swear.

"We won't be in the way, I just wanna meet your new friends" he said, smiling at me. "Promise you won't scare em off" I said, holding my pinky out like we were in 5th grade.

He chuckled, "I promise" he said, interlocking our pinky's. We got Jacob and headed out the door. I was a bit nervous to go to the sandlot with them.
