AUGUST 8TH 

Well we finally have a day off and we're all excited about it. We are coming off an eight to five loss last night and I think that's due to exhaustion on the boys and I can't blame them for that. It's our last day here in L.A. and we leave tonight at 7. 

Most of the team was staying in today and getting some much deserved rest, I on the other hand was going out with Andrew and Corey Seager to the grove to do some shopping. I really needed to do some shopping for school since I'm leaving in a couple weeks. 

Andrew and I really haven't brought that up because we both know it's going to be a hard one for the both of us. I know he'll make trips to see me once it's the off season and I'll be seeing him during Christmas Break and spring break and once I'm done with school. 

I got up around 9 and went over to the gym across the street and did my workout like I do every morning and then I went back to the hotel and got breakfast and went up to my room to get ready. (Outfit in media.)

I straightened my hair and put it in a side braid and did minimal makeup because of how hot it was outside. There was a knock at my door and I grabbed my purse and went over and opened it and saw Andrew. 

He gave me a smile and kissed me. "Corey is waiting downstairs." I nodded and we went down to the lobby. Now the reason why we're hanging out with Corey is because he and Andrew went to the same college and were on the same team and they were best friends. 

We got into Corey's jeep and took off for The Grove. 

We spent most of the day shopping for me, how nice boys. I ended up getting so much stuff.

I'm pretty sure I could've shopped more, but we had to get back to the hotel and get ready to leave. Andrew and Corey did their bro hug and then Corey hugged me. "Take care of her Andrew, she's a gem. Good luck at LSU this year." He said. 

"Don't worry, I will." I said and then he dropped us off at the hotel and then we went up to our rooms and packed everything up and I changed into something more appropriate for flying across country. 

We all met in the lobby and put our stuff onto the bus and then I sat down and Andrew sat next to me and I pulled out my phone and took a picture for snapchat and captioned it "Goodbye L.A. you've been too good to me" 

It was a short ride to the airport and we got right onto the plane and we were in the air in no time. "So, what's going to happen when you go off babe?" Andrew asked and I guess it was finally time to talk about it. 

"Well, I want to stay with you and I hope you'd trust me not to do anything with anyone." I said and he sighed. "I'm just insecure and you know that and I'm going to miss you a lot." He said and I leaned my head on his shoulder. 

"I know I'm going to miss you too babe. I'm going to miss everyone to be honest." I said. "Promise me you'll be faithful to me?" He said and I looked at him and he had some tears in his eyes and I gave him a sad smile. "Of course I will babe." I said giving him a kiss and he pulled something out of his pocket. 

It was a ring case and he opened it and it was beautiful.

"Babe, this must have cost you a fortune." I said as I admired the ring. "It's nothing really. I just want you to be reminded of me while you're at school. It's important to me that I show you how much you mean to me." He said and I smiled and put it on my finger and it looked amazing. 

"I love it and I love you, Andrew." I said while looking at him and he got the biggest smile on his face. This is first time one of us had said those three words. "I love you too Kristen." He said kissing me. 

The next 5 hours were full of sleeping and talking and then we finally landed back in Boston. We took a bus back to Fenway to get our cars. I got into Xander's car and I couldn't stop admiring the ring. 

"What's that you got on your finger?" X asked. "It's a promise ring. Andrew gave it to me on the plane ride home. He wants me to have something that reminded me of him while I'm at school and he's still here in Boston." 

"So you two are getting really serious aren't you?" "Yeah we are, I really like him, I even love him. After Jake he has made my world spin in a good way and I can't imagine someone else coming into my life. There's no one like him X." 

"Well I'm happy if you're happy lil sis. Just no babies or marriage any time soon okay?" I laughed and nodded. "Of course not, not for a few years." And by that point we were home and I was dead tired. 

I went up to my room and unpacked and changed and collapsed on my bed and then fell right asleep.
