Emma's P.O.V.

11:58 A.M.

"Riz gave me a necklace! Do you like it?" I asked KB as he wandered back into the clubhouse and found his way over to me. Giving me a thumbs up he sat down on the couch and pulled me into his arms.

"Can you give KB a big hug?" He whined making me giggle. I throw my arms around his neck and squeeze. He returns the favor and begins to carry me around never loosening his hold. "You know I love you very much correct." He whispered in my ear.

"Of course KB. And I love you too!" I told him kissing him on his nose. "Are you sad?" I questioned him concerned.

"No I'm not sad Emma bear. I just wanted to say I love you. I haven't said it in a while." He responded fast. Shrugging I gave him one more squeeze before he stopped by his cubby again. "Alright it's game time big girl. I've gotta go out and hit some homers. See ya in a little bit!" He told me as he set me down in a chair.

"Good luck KB! You've got this!" I whispered to him as I gave him one last hug. Kissing the top of my head he flashes me a smile and heads up to the dugout along with everyone else.

Now what do I do?

"Emma do you wanna go watch the game? I found some open seats we can go sit in." Jeff told me as he made his presence known. Jumping down from the chair, I grab his hand and he leads me out of the clubhouse and into the stands.

"Excuse me sir. Is this Emma Bryant?" A lady suddenly appeared asking Jeff. Flustered at her question he just nods.

Emma Bryant? I like the sound of that.

"Well I have two seats reserved for her from Mr. Fernandez if you would like to sit in those. They are right along the first base line behind the dugout." The lady explained as we followed her down the stands and to the seats. "Here ya go sir, first row behind the opposing dugout. My name is Maria if you need me." And with that she turned and scurried back up the stairs disappearing from my view.

"Well this is cool." I exclaimed while jumping into my seat. I could see the field really close from these seats. "Riz!" I called out seeing him standing on first base. He snapped his head around and waved at me before turning back around and catching the throw from Addison.

"Good thing that wasn't a real play otherwise it might've hit him." Jeff scolded me, making me look down in shame.

"I'm sorry I didn't mean it." I muttered, playing with my hands. Jeff tried to apologize but I tuned him out. His hand raised and I automatically flinched.

Oh god he's gonna hit me.

I closed my eyes and waited for the pain. After a few seconds I opened my eyes and noticed him staring at me. "I'm gonna go get us some food okay just stay here." He suddenly blurred out and rushed up the stairs. I stayed in my seat for three more innings wondering where Jeff went and why he didn't come back.

I stood up and watched Riz catch a ball. Once he threw it to Jake I ran up the steps and began to search for Jeff. It took less than five seconds before Maria ran up to me. "Hey Emma sweetheart how come you're all alone?" She asked grabbing my hand.

"I'm looking for the man I was with, he left me a while ago saying he would be back but he hasn't." I tell her while standing on my tiptoes and looking around.

"Wanna take a trip around the stadium to try to look for him? She asked waiting for me to respond. Once I nodded she led us to towards the food vendors and we began our trek around the stadium. "So are you Kris's niece?" She asks me after a few silent minutes.

"Uh not really, more like staying with him for a while. Hopefully forever but I don't know." I trail off trying to switch topics. "So how did you get this job?" I pipe up.

"Well my boyfriend is Jose Fernandez and I just took this job so I could be closer to him I guess. Look at us both of us are family with a baseball player." She said through a smile. Giving her a smile of my own, we continue walking until we are directly across from home plate. "Wanna sit and watch Kris bat?" She asked and I nodded pulling her forward towards the stands.

"A swing and a drive, deep center it could be, and it is gone. Kris Bryant his third home run this season." An amplified voice cries through the speaker. I begin to jump around and cheer.

"Excuse me miss, do you want this ball? I'm for the Marlins and I certainly don't want it, how about you take it." An older gentleman tells me as he hands me the ball KB just hit.

Smiling I grab the ball and then give the man a quick hug. "Thank you sir!" I cry out excitedly. "Look Maria, I got KB's home run ball!" She grabbed my hand smiling and we continued on walking around the stadium.

"Well we've walked around the stadium three times now and haven't seen Jeff. Why don't we just go back to your seats and wait for Kris to pick you up." She told me throwing her hands up in the air shaking them. Smiling we make our way back towards the section but are stopped in our tracks as a huge mass of people all stood up and began walking towards the exit. "Let's just wait here for a second." She pulled me out of the way of an angry Marlins fan who was muttering about losing the game.

"Let's go now." I told her growing tired of waiting. I let go of her hand and sprinted down the stands and stopped right before our dugout. Watching all the guys high five I lift myself up and sit on the dugout.

"Hey cutie pie, whatcha doing up there?" KB asked he came jogging over to me. I threw my hands up in the air and shrugged.

I scooted to the end of the roof before turning. "Bye Miss. Maria! Say hello to Fernando for me please!" I wave to her before jumping off the roof and landing in KB's arms. "Look someone gave me your home run ball!" I shoved the ball at his face giggling.

"Well isn't that awesome! Where's Jeff?" He suddenly asked as if he noticed the mans absence.

"I don't know. He left me in the first inning saying he was gonna come back with food but he never did. So I walked up the stairs after a few innings and Miss. Maria was there and we walking around the stadium until now looking for him." I took a deep breath before continuing. "I think he left because he scared me. He yelled at me and then raised his hand and I thought he was gonna hit me so I flinched and closed my eyes. He then ran away right after that." I told him as I wrapped my arms around him.

"Oh, that's interesting. He didn't hit you did he?" He questioned sincerely. I shook my head no and he seemed to relax. "How about I go shower and change, we can head out to dinner with the guys then go to the hotel and swim at the pool? Does that sound like fun?" I nodded my head super fast. "Alright then, I'm gonna go shower and then we can go."

He plopped me down on the couch and turned the tv on for me, changing the channel to Mickey Mouse. "I'll be right back EB." He whispered before kissing my head and running off. My eyes follow him until he disappears into the bathroom.

"I don't know how to swim." I whispered to myself as I looked back to the tv.
