Heading Home

A Not So Perfect Moment

As I climbed into bed with my clothes still on because I knew that Chops was going to come in and wake me up and force me to go down stairs and talk to Squints, That was exactly what he did. "This is your chance" he said opening the door "No I said covering the blankets over my head more. "Well if you meet him now you don't have to meet him tomorrow" "Ugh please don't make me do this Chops" I said begging 'So y/n what is your favorite thing to do around here since you moved?' he asked. 'Well I like to play baseball with my dad since he is going to be the new pitcher for the Dodgers starting tomorrow.' I said. he stared at me then said, 'But girls can't play baseball, you must have had a softer ball which Is softball.' He stated, 'Just so you know I can tell the difference between a baseball and softball Squints.' I stated 'Ok then If you really do, play baseball with us tomorrow be ready at 6:00 see you then.' "No you're going to see him because you used to like each other. He told me now go down stairs" "Wait you told him that I was here already?" I asked fearfully "Nooo." he said shutting the door it was still dark and tripped over my suit case "Squints you shouldn't go now" I hear Porkchop say, I thought thank you Squints "Uh Chops I don't know how you knew about that and where you got that name but she left along time ago she wouldn't come back." I hear Squints say, I instantly felt bad "Squints that girl has kept you from seeing anyone else you can't turn away" Porkchop said to him "She not here Chops ok so could you stop" he said and then I heard a door shut, and a single tear rolled down my cheek remembering how I left him on June 26, 1963. I was got ready to bed, I heard a knock coming from my window, I knew it was Squints so I let him in. He hugged me and wondered why I was leaving, I said what people say. 'My dad's job' but he was still plenty sad. I ran down the stairs to see Chops just drinking his Pepsi™ and just said "Really?" he looked at me "I'll go tomorrow" I said looking at him straight in the eyes "You better, because he didn't believe me just because you were to scared to meet him" Porkchop said "Ok I'm sorry I just couldn't make him feel way too weird seeing me here." I say "Well you know now you just made him sadder" he said as another knock on the door was heard thru the house, "If that's him you're sitting right there" he said pointing to his chair, he got up to answer the door. "Hey Chops and uh?" said the person coming into the house I knew that voice and I looked up "Y/n?"
