Jasmine P.O.V.

I stuffed my phone in my pocket as I made my way to the coffee shop. I spotted father Tim by the paintings on the right side of the shop. I wave to him and sit down at the small table. I smile faintly before the waiter arrived with our tea. "Thanks for ordering ahead," I thank him.

"No problem Jas, now how's you and Anthony?" He asks.

"Well, father-"

"Eh," He cuts in.

"Timothy, we're friends now and um yeah we're good nothing else," I tell him.

Except you have a big not big huge crush on him. Shut up no one asked for your opinion brain. "That's good, now you and..." He starts.

"I swear I'm trying," I tell him.

"Jasmine I really want you to be safe," He faintly responds.

I try to keep myself from crying. "I promise I'll be fine," I add.

I clamped my mouth shut waiting for him to say something. He sat up more and folded his hands looking me in the eyes. "Do you have an escape place?" He asks.

I shake my head no slouching down on my chair. "Sit up," He tells me.

I straighten myself up. "Edna and Shara are okay with you staying for awhile," He tells me.

He has adopted children who are both in third grade and are very sweet. I smile. "It's, fine the girls need their sleep," I reply.

"Any other close friends?" He asks before taking another sip of his tea.

"Well, Pippa and Renee," I list.

"come here," He tells me signaling me to get closer.

I do what he tells me. "You are going to list all your friend's names on a piece of paper with their numbers in case something happens okay?" He whispers.

I know he's right but I don't want to admit it. I decided to take it knowing this might just work coming from father Tim himself. 

~*~*~*

On my way home I got a text from Daveed.

Daveed

Dav: Anthony needs you at the baseball field close to the theater

Jas: Ok

I mean we're friends now but why is Daveed texting me this shouldn't Anthony? And why does he need me?

I came to the park with my glasses and different clothing just in case we're playing something. Anthony looked really focused like cut focus. No not cute focus just um-"Hey, Jas!" Dav called out.

I smile happily walking down the field to my guy friends.

Anthony's P.O.V.

When I meant that I wish someone was here to actually not be a lazy bum and throw the ball so I can practice my batting I didn't mean text, Jasmine. Surprisingly she came though, she wore a red top and ripped jeans and glasses. She's cute with glasses. I didn't say cute. "Hey, Jas!" Dav calls out.

Jasmine smiled walking towards us. "Apparently you needed me," She tells me.

I blink realizing she's talking to me. "Um- yeah do you have a good arm?" I ask her.

She smirks. "Does this answer your question?" She asks before throwing the ball out of the field.

I smile. "Let's play," I tell her as we settled into positions.

A/N Don't have much to say but I will update tomorrow possibly and keep sucking up the world of romance!
