Kris and Eleanor got engaged in their final year of college and were planning to get married a week after their graduation. Well that was before Ellie found a drunk Kris and some random girl together doing things that only the Ellie and Kris should...
I groaned as the light seeped through the windows. I heard some chuckles as i buried my face as far into my pillow as possible. My head was throbbing and I was exhausted. I usually never drink so that's why the "small" amount of alcohol had this big of an affect on me.
"Morning princess." I heard from somewhere close by.
"Go away you evil man and let me sleep." I mumbled not even caring who it was. This time I heard multiple people laughing. I groaned and sat up. I was met by some overly chipper baseball players smiling at me. I glared at them as I got out of bed heading towards the bathroom.
I looked at myself i the mirror and let out a scream.
"What the hell happened to me!" More laughs echoed the room as I remained terrified and my ow reflection.
I quickly turned the shower on running out to my beg grabbing some clothes. As I was picking out my clothes I quickly remember what I was planning on doing today. Going out to lunch with Kris so I could talk to him.
"Kris. We're going out to lunch after I get ready." I made sure it was a statement rather than a question to make sure he knew I wasn't playing around. He quickly nodded as all eyes were now flickering back and forth between the two of us. All of the guys had shocked expressions on their faces but at this point I didn't care.
I went back into the bathroom and undressed before stepping into the nice warm water that was waiting for me. I sighed in content as the water put my body and mind at ease. I shampooed and conditioned my hair along with washing my body. I could still hear all of the guys' voices when I got out of the shower signaling they were still here.
I looked at myself in the mirror once again and sighed at my reflection. What I saw in the mirror was a girl I've never met before. With everything that's been going on I can't even recognize myself. You see no matter how cliche it sounds Kris was a major factor in helping me become who I was. The good, the bad, the ugly. He helped me develop who I was. But right now I felt like he was helping me destroy myself without even realizing it. I can't blame all of it on him because I am still holding onto what has happened.
There was a knock on the bathroom door. I snapped out of my trance and realized I was in the bathroom for far to longer than I was supposed to be.
"Hey everything alright in there?" I heard Anthony question. I yelled a quick yes As I was slipping on my outfit.

One last look in the mirror I headed to where the guys were. I grabbed my phone and purse after slipping on my favorite white converse.
"You ready?" I looked at Kris. He nodded as he slipped on his shoes. I kiss Javy, Anthony, and Jake's cheeks before I head to the door where Kris is waiting.
"Bye boys behave please!" I yelled to them as they laughed. I smiled and looked up to Kris.
"SO where are we heading?" He asked awkwardly. I dismissed his awkwardness and kept walking towards the elevator.
"I was thinking Panera. Is that alright?" I asked him as the elevator doors shut and pushed the button that took us down to the lobby.
"Of course." With that we both stayed in a comfortable silence until we got to Panera and ordered our food. It was a short walk maybe two or three blocks.We both slid into a booth in and looked over the menu. We ordered what we both desired and waited for the waitress to come back with our drinks.
"So I don't mean to sound rude or like I'm not enjoying your company, because I most certainly am, but why did you want to go out to lunch with me?" He asked confused. I couldn't help but smile as his eyebrows crinkled in the middle and his bright blue eyes showed confusion and curiosity.
"Well I wanted to talk to you, about us. Well about what happened between us. I know I left suddenly without giving you any time to explain, but when I saw you with that, that girl my brain stopped functioning and my heart broke. I ran because that was the only logical thing I could think of at the time. I get it was cowardly but I couldn't stand being around you at the time because it hurt already just thinking about you let alone seeing you." I rambled not being able to make eye contact. Thankfully our waitress came with our drinks before he could respond. SO I quickly continued.
"I should've stayed and let you explain yourself. I should've at least given you that. But I was scared.I was scared that what you did wasn't a mistake to you. I was scared that you finally met someone that could make you happier than I ever did." I breathed out shakily as tears welled up in my eyes. He quickly grabbed my hand and ran a thumb over my knuckles.
"Eleanor Marie Harper. I could never, ever find someone that made me feel more happier and loved than you ever did. Even till this day. I... I was drunk that night. And there was this blonde, that looked exactly like you in my drunken state of mind. I thought it was you all along, until you walked in and I clearly could tell the girl I was with was most definitely not you. I chased after you and I kept calling and texting. I got nothing back. I deserved that. Being drunk wasn't an excuse but what I'm telling you is the truth Ellie." I said as a tear slipped down his face.I didn't realize until this moment I was also crying . He leaned over the table and whipped away a few stray tears that happened to fall.
"I just want things to be at least bearable between us. I want you to be able to do what you love and not let me get in the way. Baseball is your life Kris and I can tell already from when I first came here that I influenced your game in the most negative way possible. And I hate myself for it. So from now on we are going to be friends and you're going to get your act together on that damn field and be the Kris Bryant that all you fans know and love." I said finally looking into his eyes.
"I would like that a lot Ellie." For the rest of the time we spent together at Panera was actually enjoyable. We talked about all of our old childhood memories and reminisced in the past.
Things finally started to fell like they were going well, for the both of us.
