2nd Base, here I come

5. Bad News

I

had my ear pressed up against the cold screen door listening to a conversation between my brother and some man.

I pulled back my hair and removed my ear from the door. I looked at the man walking away, and I saw my Brother come my way.

He made his way out of the wooden door and walked up to me. "Taay... I have something important to tell you..." he told me. I didn't smile nor nod, I couldn't move, I knew what was happening.

"I'm being shipped to war." Tears filled my eyes, I then eventually gave up holding them back and they came rushing down my face.

I started to yell. The tears kept on coming down. "YOU'RE JUST GOING TO LEAVE ME? ALL ALONE HERE?!" I hit his chest trying to get my anger out.

He stood there taking it. "Yo-You could die and never com.." He interrupted me. "NO, Don't say that I may not even be on the field Taylee!"

I stopped and looked him in the eyes. "You're still leaving me... I've lost enough. I don't want to lose the only thing I have." I fell to my knees, crying into my hands.

James fell with me and I cried in his shirt letting all my emotions out. My eyes were burning and stinging from all the tears. James stood back up looking around the block.

He grabbed my shoulders and looked me straight in the face. "You can never lose me Taay, I'll be here with you forever." I pushed him off me and ran to the door. I looked over and saw all the guys staring at me.

"Well you're leaving me now!" With that, I slammed the door. I looked at all art on my walls and thought about each one, what was the emotion behind all these paintings.

I walked into my closet grabbing art supplies. I looked at the big white empty spot on my wall. I took some paint throwing it at the blank wall.

I began to dip my brush in the paint. The world was going slow for a moment, all I could see was colors. Backing up onto my bed and looking at my masterpiece, I smile.

It had my childhood all in it. It had small scenes from every good memory of my life. My dad and I playing ball, mom dressing me up and my brother teaching what I'm doing, draw. All the memories came flooding back.

I laid back on my bed staring at my ceiling. I was covered in paint and my faced stained with my tears. I walked into my bathroom taking in the person I saw in front of me.

Taking off my clothes I then got in the shower. I took my hair down feeling the warm water hit my skin, I was relaxed, washing off all the anger and grief.

I got out putting my hair up in a bun grabbing my moms college sweater and matching shorts. I put on tall socks and laid in my cold bed.

James POV

"She won't talk to me, what have I done?" I said to Taylee's friends. They all seemed curious as to what they just saw.

I explained everything getting good looks from them. "I have an idea" Benny said. He took off running alerting us to follow.

He took us to a small store getting lots of candy and drinks. He found some classic old movies Taay would absolutely love.

I paid for everything and we walked out walking back home. I knocked on her door getting a "go away" I felt around the top of the door frame for a key.

I found it and put in the lock and opened the door. She had tears in her eyes and paint on the floor. We all looked over at her wall.

I noticed all the memories in it looking back to her. "You can stay!" she came over to me and gave me a hug saying sorry.

I hugged her back motioning the boys to surprise her. Benny put in a movie and handed us all the candy. "I love this movie!" She said cuddling into my side.

I smiled and cuddled her close. The movie was almost over when I looked over to see Taay laying on Benny's chest asleep.

Anger came up but I pushed down. "Your moms wouldn't mind you staying, right?" I asked the boys. Smalls and Benny nodded but the others couldn't so they left.

"I'm going to sleep. I'll make you guys a bed." I said getting lots of blankets and pillows. I made a spot on the floor and kissed Taay's head saying Goodnight and turned the lights off and closing the door.
