No one's Pov.

All of the guys, including Benny and Smalls. Were playing Baseball. The same type of game every time.

Benny's Pov.
After batting all day, I decided to let my lover bat. He's good at it so it'd be okay. Besides, I need a break.
"Mi amor!" I shouted across the field.
He turned and looked at me.
"Yeah!?"
"You're bat!" I said as I jogged over to him. A huge smile formed on his face. He started to jog to me, and when we got to each other, without stopping, we switched the glove for the bat. Then he continued to jog to first base.

Scotty's Pov.
As I got up to home plate, I looked at everyone. Ham looked...mad? Why? Why would he be mad?
"Ready Smalls?" Kenny asked, ready to pitch to me.
"Yeah" i said as I got ready to swing.
Kenny pitched the ball, a fast ball. I swung the bat, and without a doubt. It was a home run. As I started to jog to the bases, I noticed Ham was staring me down, I then saw Benny looking at me with a concerned look, like he knew I was confused. I jogged over to him and he held me into his arms.
"Is everything alright love?" Benny asked me as I looked up at him.
"I, I- I don't know. Ham has been staring me down since you let me bat." I said as I got closer into his arms. He looked at me for a bit before he said something.
"I'm sure he's just had a bad day. Don't sweat it. It'll be ok. Okay?"
I slightly smiled.
"Okay." I said as he kissed me.
"Okay. Alright everyone back to position's!" He yelled as we all went back to our normal spots. Benny let Kenny bat, and he pitched. As I stood in my position at second base, I looked over in out field to see Ham still staring me down. I started to get nervous. Why was he doing that? Did I do something wrong!? I was so busy in my thoughts that I didn't realize that the ball went right past me.
"What the heck Smalls!?" Yeah-yeah yelled. "Yeah! What the heck Smalls!" Tommy yelled.
"I-im sorry! I didn't mean it!"
Ham then said something that made Benny snap.
"You always ruin everything Smalls."
"Hey Hey Hey! Ham. Do not talk about Scotty like that. It's not his fault. You know? He's been going through a lot right now, and he's had a lot of things on his mind! So guys! Don't get mad at him, because every one of you guys have done the same thing." Benny said as he held me in his arms. I started to tear up as the guys continued to make comments on me.
"You know Benny? Ever since you and Smalls got together, you've babied him." Ham said.
"He's my fucking boyfriend! I'm supposed to baby him. He fucking deserves it. I love him so much, and he deserves everything in the world." Benny yelled as he got closer to Ham.
Ham just rolled his eyes.
"I thought you excepted us?" Benny asked ham as he took a step back. At this point I had tears in my eyes, and while they were bickering, I just decided to leave, as I ruin everything anyways. I walked out of the sandlot and I didn't know where I was going. I just didn't want to ruin more friendships for my lover.

Benny's Pov.
"I thought you excepted us?" I asked as I took a step back.
"I thought you all excepted us?" I asked.
"I do," Kenny said.
"We do too" Timmy and Tommy said.
"Squints and I do" yeah-yeah said.
"Me too" Bertrum then said.
"Ham?"
"Whatever. I don't care anymore. Do what you want." Ham said as he walked away.
I then turned around expecting to my lover. But he wasn't there! Where is he!? I shot my head around to look all around the Sandlot. But no, he wasn't to be found. I started to panic more.
"Guys!" I shouted, with light tears in my eyes.
"What?" They all said.
"Have any of you seen where Scotty went!? I can't find him!" I yelled as I looked at everyone with pure panic in my eyes.
"Benny, man calm down. We'll find him." Kenny said as he pulled me to the bench.
I sat there for about 5 minutes thinking of where he could be. Then I had a thought. What if he went back to my house?
"I'll be back!" I yelled as I sprinted out of the sandlot and towards my house. As I got down the road my house was on, I noticed that my parents weren't home. Weird. They're usually home by now. Forget that, back to finding my lover. I ran inside and searched the kitchen and living room.
"Babe!?" I yelled as looked in every room. I went upstairs and looked in my room.
"Baby!?" But no luck, he wasn't there. I don't know what to do! I don't know where he could be! At this point I had tears in my eyes, I was having a panic attack. I couldn't breathe. I stumbled downstairs and onto my front steps. I sat down and tried to calm my breath. I started to think hard, of where he could be..... Then I remembered. The spot. One day I found this little spot in the woods, it was great to hang out at. And when I first met Smalls I brought him there. That's also were I asked him out. None of the other guys knew about it. So quicker than my feet could carry me, I sprinted down the road. I pasted Scott's parents house, he'd never go there. Right? I continued to run as I got to this big fence, the fence that looks so familiar. I walked over to the left end of the fence, catching my breath. I looked down at the hole in the fence. Waiting to go in.
