MLB IMAGINES! (COMPLETED)

His Doubts~Nolan Arenado

Requested by phelpsphann1583

I couldn't help but wish I was in L.A. for the semi finals of the WBC for Nolan and Team USA. You see, I'm in college across the country and I'm not on spring break anymore so I can't be there with him. 

He did really amazing in Miami and not so hot in San Diego and now his doubts are carrying over into L.A. and I knew it would affect his game later on, and I hate knowing that he reads all this crap on the internet about him and he takes it to heart. 

I was in the middle of studying for my midterm when my phone rang with Nolan's ring tone and he was Facetiming me. I slid to answer and waited for his face to pop up on my phone and when it did, it was not a happy face. 

"Nolan what's wrong?"I asked hoping to help whatever was bothering him. "I just can't help but think what people online say is true. Am I really that bad of a player?" He asked and I sighed. This was a conversation we would have almost daily during the regular season and I hated it. 

"Coming from the guy who is a 2 time all-star, has four gold gloves, 2 time silver slugger, had 41 home runs last year, 182 hits, 116 runs, and 133 RBI's. Now do you wan to listen to the haters on the internet, or keep up with your stats that prove you're good?" I said. 

He knew I was right by the way his face was, he hated saying he was wrong but he knew better. "You're right babe, I'm sorry. I just can't help but think that I'm letting the team down with not doing good." He said and I gave him a soft smile. 

"Nolan, you're not letting them down. If you were, you'd be in Arizona right now for Spring Training and out of the tournament and not in the Semi Finals." He smiled. "You're right babe, thank you for everything." He said. 

"You know I would do anything to help you feel better Nolan. I love you and go hit a homer for me tonight alright?" I asked and he let out a laugh. "I will princess, hope you can watch the game tonight. I love you." 

"I wouldn't miss it for the world Nolan, I love you too." I said and we hung up. My midterm came and went and now it was time for me to sit down with a bucket of popcorn and watch Team USA kick some Team Japan ass. 

The game came and went and Nolan kept his promise and hit the game tying home run for me to advance them to the championship round tomorrow. I couldn't help but be a proud girlfriend of him in that moment. 

All his doubts were helpful to him and do better than he has the whole tournament tonight. I watched the post game interview with him and we hadn't really put our relationship out there, but Nolan did tonight. 

"What helped you do better tonight?" The interviewer asked him. "Truthfully, my girlfriend who is across the country at school. She's helped me with all the doubts I've had throughout this tournament and she's made me a better baseball player than I could've asked for." He said and I smiled. 

I  knew he would be texting me as soon as he got to the locker room and sure enough, my phone buzzed. 

"I did it for you princess, I know I outed us but hey, I couldn't help be proud of you that you helped me get out of the slump that I was in. I love you babe." I smiled and sent him a response. "I'm glad you outed us, like I said earlier, I would do anything to help you. I love you too Nolan, see you soon."

A/N: Hope you loved it!
