Next day

All the sandlot boys were on sandlot but weren't playing. They just were sitting. Lola and Sabrina came inside of the sandlot.

"Thanks a lot Rodriguez " Lola said to Benny angry

"What happened ? is Eliza fine? " Benny stand up quickly

"I don't know if she is. She is went missing " Lola roll her eyes

"What " Smalls stand up

"Eliza will do this thing. If anything is going wrong in her life. She will go missing for a couple of days. We woke up to a text from her saying that she will be away. She needs time " Sabrina explain it to the boys

"So thanks to Mr I can't keep it in my pants. Eliza went missing for a couple of days" Lola glare at Benny

Benny just looked down. He told his mother what happened and let's said she told him some nasty stuff.

"I'm got go and try to find her" Benny walked away

"You will never find her. She good at hiding" Lola yell out

"I got try anyways" Benny yell back

"His mother told him some nasty stuff so now Benny wants to fix things " DeNunez said

"Lola you shouldn't have been so tough on him " Sabrina hit Lola arm

"Whatever " Lola roll her eyes

With Eliza

Eliza was in her hiding space. On top of the school. Eliza was writing a song to make her feel better about this whole Benny problem.

I saved every letter you wrote me
From the moment I read them
I knew you were mine
You said you were mine
I thought were mine

Do you know what Sabrina said
When we saw your first letter arrive?
She said: "Be careful with that one, love
he will do what it takes to survive."

You and your words flooded my senses
Your sentences left me defenseless
You built me palaces out of paragraphs
You built cathedrals

I'm re-reading the letters you wrote me
I'm searching and scanning for answers
In every line
For some kind of sign
And when you were mine
The world seemed to burn
Burn

You published the letters she wrote you
You told the whole world how you brought this girl
Into our bed
In clearing your name
You have ruined our lives

Do you know what Sabrina said
When she read what you'd done?
She said: "You have married an Icarus.
He has flown too close to the sun."

You and your words obsessed with your legacy
Your sentences border on senseless
And you are paranoid in every paragraph
How they perceive you-
You, you, you

I'm erasing myself from the narrative
Let future historians wonder
How Eliza reacted
When you broke her heart
You have torn it all apart
I'm watching it burn
Watching it burn

The world has no right to my heart
The world has no place in our bed
They don't get to know what I said
I'm burning the memories
Burning the letters
that might have redeemed you

You forfeit all rights to my heart
You forfeit the place in our bed
You'll sleep in your office instead
With only the memories
of when you were mine

I hope that you burn
