~Bruces POV~
That night went horribly since I hardly got any sleep so now at practice I'm extremely tired.
Coach is making us do extra too today since it's like a 'reward' of me being gone.
While I'm sitting waiting to hit, I lift the necklace up and look down at it.
"Wait.."
I lift it up and engraved in the side is our initials.
That's so sweet
I smile as I tuck it back into my shirt since Noah's  sat next to me.
"Hey Bruce"
"Hey"
"What's that?"
"Just a necklace from a girl"
"Ooo what's her name?"
"Veronica"
"Nice"
"Can I see the necklace?" He says almost right after
"Uh sure" I say lifting it out and he looks at it
"Oh sweet, did you get her one too?"
"She got it for me"
More like he did but he can't know that
"Oh weird but alright"
He shrugs and legs go as my name is yelled
"Oh I'll cya" I say dropping it into my shirt and jogging up
"Cya!" He yells
Veronica? Really bruce
That's the only thing you come up with for
Vance?
Whatever
I jog up and grab my bat
I look up and it's Las again throwing
I nod and he smiles at me as I ready myself.
Once I'm ready he throws.
The whole normal thing goes on and I hit it,run to first and stop.
It's all like normal
I wonder when state is gonna get harder?
This just feels like our small town game
"Bruce!"
"Huh?-"
"Go!"
I realize we're running again and I run to second
I have to dive and I touch it before the ball is caught so I stand up and immediately fall from pain.
I wrap my hands around my ankle.
"Bruce you ok?"
I shake my head and I hear steps coming up to me
"Bruce?" I hear las say
"My- my Fuckin ankle"
"Sit down sit down" he says and I fall back onto my ass.
He grabs my ankle and I hear coach yelling then him running up to us
"Hey hey hey, what's going on?" Coach says
"Bruce might of sprained his ankle"
"So? come on kid hop up"
I sigh and Las helps me stand up
"You good?" He says
"Mhm yea I'm fine"

Las let's go and jogs back to the middle then coach walks away and yells that we can start again.
That was embarrassing as hell
I sigh and watch as another kid hits so I jog to third but it's caught before I get there so I just walk my way back to the dugout.
I'll just call my mom
Go home early and come back tomorrow with an ankle that I can fucking run with.
"Hey coach?"
"What's up?"
"I'm gonna call my mom so I can rest my ankle so it's better tomorrow"
"Bruce you'll be fine"
I sigh
"I know that I just wanna be able to run-"
"Just walk it off"
Then he indeed walks Away
I roll my eyes and sit down
Whatever

"Hey Bruce"
I turn around and see it's las
"Oh hey"
"Can I see your ankle again? You might of just moved something"
I nod and lift my leg up.
He looks at it for a minute Before pressing down
"That hurt?"
"Actually no"
"Well good that means you didn't sprain it"
I sigh
"That's a relief"
He laughs lightly and lets my foot go
"Just put ice on it tonight and rest it then you'll be fine"
I nod
"Thanks Las"
He smiles "not really a problem, kids here have this happen a lot"
I shrug
"Makes since"

We talk until he's called up again.
I lightly stomp my foot and it's kinda better?
I can stomp so it's slightly better.
I stand up and walk to the front of the line where I'm supposed to be and once I'm up there I'm pushed out again.
I grab my bat and sigh
"You got this bruce!"
I laugh a little hearing this from Justin
"Thanks" I mumble to myself as I ready then nod.
Watching las throw,hit it,run.
I made it to second even though if my ankle was ok I could have made it home but whatever.
Watching all these people do such good things is so weird to watch.
Like I know I'm good but I'm on a team with all these better people.
I shake my head and start running to third
I slide slightly and make it.
When I look over I see Las laughing while knelt down
"The hell?-"
I look around and see Justin covering his face while also laughing
I watch as he moves his hand and his nose is bleeding insanely bad
"Holy hell" I yell and Justin breaks out laughing again as coach runs up to him and shoves paper towels onto his face.
I laugh slightly as he walks out and Noah walks out looking disgusted
