Love is hard- A Ricky Vaughn story

Chapter 1

Amelia's pov
I was sat at the desk across from Lou Brown. One of my close friends since I got sent back to a fucking normal life since that bitch from the other team cut my thigh deep so I would get cut off the team. Lou waved his hand in-front of my face and I looked up while tapping my pencil on the desk. "You okay kid?" He asked with concern on his face, I nodded and he gave me a look with his eyebrows raised and I sighed "I was just thinking about that day and Jake...." I said quietly. Lou gave me a sad look and was about to say something when the phone started to ring "we will talk about this in a Minute" I nodded and he picked up the phone "hiya whirl" Lou's said into the phone. As the other person talked Lou's face when a little confused "I dunno" Lou said while rubbing his pointer finger on his head "let me think it over will ya Charlie. I got a guy on the other line about some white walls. I'll talk to you later" and put down the phone "Who was that?" I asked "it's Charlie from the Cleveland Indians team" oh for Christ sake my brothers old team "what did he want?" I asked further while standing up and putting some paper work away in some people pigeon holes "he wanted me to manage the team" he said while I looked at him wide eyed "Lou, this is wonderful you can go back in pro baseball coaching and you'll do brilliant" I said going on about how good he will do "Melia" Lou said while looking at me "yea Lou" I said while looking him in the eyes "your like the daughter I never had, I won't take the job unless they allow you to coach with me" "Lou, no I'll be fine here. It could be your last chance at coaching and you don't need me following you around and getting on your nerves" as I said that my phone started ringing. I picked it up slowly and put it to my ear "hello" I said "hi, is this Amelia Taylor?" The person asked "yea, who is this?" "This is Charlie" I cut him off "from the Cleveland Indians?" I questioned "yes that's right, I want you to join Lou Brown to coach the team this season and also be one of the players this season" he said. I looked at Lou and he looked at me and mouthed 'you too' I just nodded and mouthed back 'what do I say' and he mouthed back one word 'yes' I looked at him and nodded "okay Charlie I'll do it but Lou is also doing it or I'm out" I said down the phone with a serious tone "deal" Charlie said straight away and then the line went dead. I put the phone down and looked at Lou "now it looks like we are both doing it" I said with a smile as we began running around packing all our stuff away and writing a letter to our workers who will understand why we are gone and grabbed our bags and walked out the door.

We walked down the street to our two apartments that are across from each other. "So, you were thinking about your brother that you haven't seen for for over 6 years because of an argument you two had when he agreed with your mom for her not wanting you to play baseball cause it's too dangerous for you" I nodded while looking ahead "what are you going to do if he turns up?" I shrugged "if he wants to talk to me he can talk to me. But doesn't mean I will become to close to him again. I mean Jesus Lou, mom turned up to the final and apologised but he didn't. He didn't even go..." I trailed of while looking at the sky to stop the tears from falling. "He will talk to you at one point" Lou said while patting my back while I smiled at him. We arrived at our apartments. "I'll see you out her tomorrow at 8 so we can get there before everyone starts turning up" Lou said while looking at me, I nodded and said "night Lou" "night kid" he said back and I went into my apartment. I walked over to the large kitchen and dumped my keys in the key bowl and made my way upstairs to my study with my bags. I opened my bags and put all my paper work in the cupboard and locked it I won't be needing them for a while I said to myself while I was looking through my draws for my necklace and saw a locked draw. I grabbed my key and unlocked the draw forgetting what I had put in there . I opened it and tears Immediately sprung to my eyes as I looked at my childhood memories. Mostly of me and Jake when we was super close in his teenage years and I started crying cause our whole friendship had broken down cause of my stupid dream that lasted 2 seasons and a quarter until everything happened and then I had to live a normal life like Jake wanted me to do I would be safe and I would never be harmed but I was so stubborn that I wanted to be as good as him. I went into my bedroom and climbed into bed holding the photo of me and Jake at his first baseball game close to my chest and closed my eyes and fell into a deep sleep, waiting to see if I was gonna see my older brother the next day.
