(A/N:  okay I am really lazy today so this is the game were Tanba get hurt, the last first-string game. Alex played mostly outfield next to Jun but hasn't been up to bat... yet and I changed up some of the plot.)

Alex POV

We all walk into the dugout. Tanba just pitched and was regaining his confidence as the teams ace. He was more pumped than usual when going up to bat.

"Tanba if you get a strike, you have to shave you head!" I said.   

"What!?" He replied.

"I agree, Tanba. I will right it in my notebook." Chris replied.

"It's in Chris-Sempai's notebook! It's offical!" Eijun yelled.

  "Two strikes and you have to grow your hair long?" Miyuki joked.

"Yeah and if he gets out he has to shave his eyebrows!" Kuramochi

"You guys..." Tanba sweat dropped

I was after Tanba and I had to say, I was really pumped. More than usual for me.

The pitch wound up his ball and threw it, it ended up as a ball. I could tell that he was under a lot of pressure.

He wound up his next ball and I wish I wasn't watching.... The ball hurtling toward Tanba and ended up hitting it jaw line. That called the game off and the other team left. I just stood there shocked.

««~Time Skip~»»

"Hey! It's time for dinner, Al..." Miyuki trialled off.

It been a few hours and I'm still standing there, in the dugout, shocked. The accident just keeps replaying in my mind but, Tanba wasn't the one to get hit.

"Brother..."

That's right it was my brother. The shaggy brown hair. The golden eyes. His smile. The stance. Everything showed Eren but...

'I'm so confused... it was Tanba but, when the scenes replaying my head... it's Eren....'    I thought

(A/N:   Okay so it's like she's having a panic attack from the incident what happened to her brother because they were similar.)

3rd POV

Alex had said something in English that Miyuki couldn't understand. Everyone was worried about him. Miyuki call Yuki on his cellphone so he could have help in carrying Alex his dorm.

««~Another Time Skip~»»

It has been a few day since Tanbas' accident and things have gotten worse for Alex. Tanba, being the mother hen towards Alex, gone, everything ended up crashing. Alex was getting beat up more, threatened to stay away from the regulars from jealous members that weren't choose. Every time the regulars would approach them, he'd put on a fake smile and make an excuse to leave.

(A/N: to explain further, other member are jealous and since the ace, Tanba, is injured, the decide it's the perfect time to strike.)

Alex it walking around the school area when a group of non-regular baseball players approach him. There was about 8 of them, taunting Alex one after another

'Alex POV'

"Well if it isn't Mr. Pipsqueak..."

Shut up.

"Still moping about your brother I see"

No I'm not. Shut up

"Look who's a mute boy now."

Shut up.

"I bet cheated his way into this school."

Just shut up!

"Aw, who misses their family."

Leave me alone.

"Haha, too bad they're all dead"

Shut up. Leave me alone

"I think we should teach him a lesson. What do you think, Roko?"

Just... Just... Just get it over with.

"I think that's perfect!"

One by one they kick, punch, and slap me. What was I to do? They're my seniors. I can't 'disrespect' them. I tried my best to keep a blank face, which seemed to anger them more.

That's my face... Ittie...

That's my gut... Ow...

That's my back... Ittie... ittie...

I need my knees to walk... Ow... ow...

Please try not to break my elbows...

I can't see without my eyes... Ouch...

Im pretty sure my nose is bleeding...

I can't hold my head high without my neck...

_|_|_|_

By the time they were done I was covered in buries(I thing that how it's spelled). You know, I didn't cry. I didn't yell. I didn't make smart remarks. I wasn't sad. I wasn't happy.  I was just blank. It has been weeks since Tanba went to the hospital and this has become a normal thing to me. Luckily, I was a master with makeup, so I could cover the buries when I had practice.

I walk into the indoor ball pin and grab a crate of baseballs. I start to pitch into a net. I sigh.

I am angry even though I tell myself I'm not...

I kept pitching, each pitch rising in speed and strength.  I'm pretty sure I've probably broken a speed record or something because I broke the net... man I need to learn to control my anger. At least I didn't kill anyone......... I take that back... if I see anyone now I'll probably strangle them......

I sigh and head back to my dorm, skipping practice.

'3rd POV'

Alex skipped practice. She didn't even bother to fix the buries on her face and soon her roommates came back.

(A/N:    This chapter sucked... ehhhhh gomen! I'll make the next one cherry! Hope you liked it!
