Unbelievable(Benny Rodriguez Love Story)

Baseball Help

Aqua

My mind was awoken from it's peaceful slumber from a voice yelling at me to get up. I opened my blue eyes and saw Fiona standing there with a smile on her face. I got up and changed in and ran down the stairs, jumping over the last two. I ran into the kitchen to see Tiger and Anna sitting there looking healthy again. I felt a huge smile creep up onto my face as I attacked them in a hug. I heard them laugh and I smiled even bigger. I felt like all of my worries were lifted off of me, like the world was lifted off my shoulders. I heard a knock on the door and Alex went to get it.

"STRIKE-OUT!!!!! YOU HAVE PEOPLE HERE FOR YOU!!" he yelled from the front door.

I rolled my eyes and ran to the door and looked at who was there. The Sandlot boys, even Benny, and Rose, Malena, Zoey, Jackie, Sarah and Georgia. I looked at them and narrowed my eyes feeling very suspicious. I nodded at Alex and he left. I crossed my arms over my chest and leaned against the door frame.

"What do you guys want?" I asked carefully.

"We need you Aqua, pleasee," Scotty said.

I walked out and closed the door, yelling that I will be back later. I heard a faint ok and jumped off of my porch. I looked at Benny and quickly looked away. Sure we may hate each other but I really like him I always have. We came to the sandlot and I saw my bag I left here. Scotty, Squints, Beatrum and Rose blocked the way out and I looked at them scared. Yeah-Yeah came up to me and took my shoulders. I looked him in the eyes and felt my fears calm down a bit.

"We need you on the team. We need your pickles, saves from home runs. Beatrum has to move and you are the only other person we know that can play baseball like a pro, like Benny," Yeah-Yeah said, looking me in the eyes.

"Not all of your team mates will like me playing with you guys," I said looking at Benny.

"It was my idea, we need your skills on the team. We need to beat Philips's team," he said almost begging.

"Why should I help you? Philip is more of a friend than you'll ever be. He never called me names. That one time I helped you because Scotty gave me no choice. I never did anything for you. Why should I help you after the year of torture you put me through?" I yelled feeling angry.

"Don't do it for me, do it for your friends. I would much rather play with somebody else, but you do have skills that no other girl has," he snapped.

I felt my heart break even more but I just looked at him with my glare that people say has gotten better over the years. I replied with a snap, "Shut it Rodriguez or I won't."

He glared at me but I could've sworn I saw hurt flash in his eyes, but I was probably imagining it. He got close to my face and we stood there, ready to throw a punch and I realized what I was about to do. I took a shaky breath and backed off and felt tears form in my eyes as I looked away. I shook my head and looked at him with watery tears.

"Is this how it's going to be now? Almost punching each other? Cause if it is, I don't want a part of this. I'm sorry guys," I whispered as I started to walk toward my house.

"Aqua!" I heard a voice yell behind me.

I turned around to see Kenny running after me. I smiled softly at him and looked at the ground hurt. I felt him hug my side and lift me off the ground and spun me around. Now don't get this wrong but he is like my brother that I can have fun with. I never ever thought of him like that. That's gross in my mind, but I do think he is attractive, but I would NEVER date him. I know he feels the same way towards me. He put me down and I smiled at him.

"Thanks Kenny I needed that," I smiled softly at him.

"He's sorry, Benny is. You should try to work things out between you two," he said with no jokes in his eyes.

"I keep trying but..........he hurts me Kenny, not physically, but mentally and emotionally," I said looking at the sun setting as me and Kenny stood in the middle of the road about three houses away from my house.

"He is stressed. Just do what your heart tells you because you two together are a legend, separate you are heroes. Remember that Heroes get remembered, but Legends never die," Kenny said with wisdom. I looked at him shocked and shook my head and he continued, "We need baseball help, we need your baseball skills."
