Distinct Distance

Kevin's POV

I got into my car and prayed that Mr. Jones did not call my parents about what happen. I felt so bad about hurting Jay like that. I was so remorseful. But, I do have to only focus  on the more  important things. I just got drafted by one of the most fiercest major league baseball coaches this world has known. I can't be bothered by Jay now.

    I made it all the way home and my parents were out so I was good. I went upstairs and just looked in the mirror at myself. I cried because I seen all the hickies that Jay let on me. We said it was a thing to mark our territory. He had mine and I had his. "How could you do that. I cried and cried and cried. 

I know crying wasn't going to make things better and I would leave soon so I know I won't be there to say sorry and he shoot me down. I loved the way he confiscate me and just torment me in his mind. I loved the way he laughed and the way he would get mad and then punch me. I loved how he would wink his eye when we would kiss. I loved how he would wrap up in my arms and do that hand thing in the middle of my back.

 I just screwed everything up and I couldn't fix it. I went into the shower just thinking how he would never want me to leave from the phone to go take a shower. As much as I wanted to I insisted that we talk all that night. I loved seeing the bags under his eyes knowing that they were from staying up all night on the phone booed up with me.

    I made my way to my bed after I got out of the shower and just laid there. I practiced what I was going to say to him. 

"I'm sorry I hit you.

Sorry I lied and I really hope you take me back"

No that's not going to work. I just began to count sheep until I went to sleep.

   I was awoken by my parents knocking on my door. "Son?" my dad said. "We heard what happen and he's going to get what's coming from him and Mr. Jones said he's very sorry" How stupid were these people. I was obviously enjoying I was moaning. They fell for the lie though.

  I just started packing my cloths. I was supposed to leave in about 12 hours from now and then come back to get the rest of my things. I began to put in a shirt with red and yellow stripes. Something about this shirt was special. I looked at the tag and I t had a note on it. I t said "I would always wear this because I knew it was yours and It kept me warm at night. Another tear started to fall.

"Come on Kev, pull it together." I went downstairs and ate some lunch with my parents and went out to the mall. I was just picking up a few things and coming back home. Everything was just playing in my mind. How I beat Jay, till how I fucked him hard. I rushed back into my car and had a panic attack. Man I had only a few hours till I left and I needed to see him. I knew he would act out and it would take more than a few to mend what I had done.

   The van pulled up and it was full of some of the other recruits and suitcases. "Bye Kevin, see you soon.", my mom said.

   I hoped in and we were off. 

We drove at least 3 hours to get to the airport. When we got there, there was so many people gathering around us. NEWS REPORTERS. I guess word got around we were the fresh meat on the team. I answered a few question but one question got to me "Hey Kevin, How does it feel to be drafted by a bottom boy?" I looked at the reporter and I blacked out and stared going crazy. "How the fuck do you know him? You better not be talking shit about him I will fucking beat your ass, do you hear me?" I was trying to get to him but they were holding me back.

I wondered how'd he knew Jordan. "What the hell man", Austin one of the recruits said. "I didn't know Mr. Sid was a sensitive subject to you" Sid was the name of the coach. He was known as the bottom boy. I didn't know that. I walked over to apologize to the reporter and he understood. 

The flight was silent and We landed pretty quickly. We got off and got into another van and headed out again. About 5 hours from that point we were checked into our hotel and we were in our rooms sleeping. I couldn't sleep. We were here for a few days to perform for the whole team and I needed rest. I couldn't get any though because Jay was all on my mind.

  I woke up ate me a small breakfast and did some push ups just to wake my body up. I put on me some work-out clothes and shoes and headed out to the field. I t was a few blocks down to the practice field. When I got there I was the first recruit there. "And he's early, I like him already." One of the players said. 

Coach Sid got started with me right away. He had me run the bases to see where my speed was and I finished in 13 seconds. So my speed was too good. He then moved on to strength and that was good too. I did 230 push ups in 3 minutes. He moved on to catching. Every ball that was hit in field was aught and thrown to the correct places. Then finally came my hitting. I was focused the whole time and then I got off track. I started thinking of Jay. "Give him a minute coach, he's worked so hard so he just needs to get some rest." I went into the dug out and sat on the bench. I started to cry and then someone walked in. "What's up man talk to me." It was Andrew Starr. One of the best stealers in the world.

"I fucked up man, back at home. I can't stop thinking about it. I can't believe I did some of the things I did." He then let out a sharp exhale and said "After you bat and make the team go see him," I jumped up and looked at him and said "Him?" "Yeah I know. I said him. I'm right aren't I?", I nodded my head. He then said "I went through the same With Austin, yeah this team's pitcher. Now we are a happy couple. Now go bat, make the team and go see him."

  I ran out and told coach I was ready and I was knocking them out the park. When the ball hit the bat it was gone and the team was going wild." I was officially on the team and free to go. I went to get my stuff and headed back to the airport. Got on the plane and had a bad flight but I was still determined to see my baby. I got off the plane and caught a ride back home. It was night when I finally reached home. I ran inside dropped my things off and said hey and bye to my parents hopped in my car and raced to Jay's house. It was 30 minutes away but I didn't care. I climbed up to his window and opened it. I seen him laying in his bed but It was a funny smell in the air. Smelt like dead flesh. I called his name shyly but he didn't answer.

  I did the technique that I always did to wake him up but he didn't get up. I crouched by his bed and pulled him back to find him Dead. I looked in terror. I screamed and Cried a the same time. I woke u all the Jones and they raced in. They began screaming and crying with me. "What happen Kevin, What happen?" We all asked each other what happened but we couldn't answer. I just kept repeating "Together or near".........Jay please "Together or Near".......Oh no please.

The ambulance came and rushed him to the hospital and When everyone left the room where he was laying in I could have sworn to hear him whisper "Love is truly near". When I lifted my head I seen a smirk on Jay's face and A tear of happiness began to fall.
