Baseball Lovers (editing)

Part 1

I've never understood people who like road trips. 

Sitting in a car for hours until your butt goes numb and you think you're going to go crazy if you don't get some fresh air. That's how I feel right now. 

At this point we've been in this moving death trap for six million hours, my brother probably wants to kill me, and my parents have talked non-stop about how much we're going to like California. 

My mom is the one who always tries to look on the bright side of things. I'd like to think of myself as more of a realist.

"I know you're going to miss your friend's sweetheart but California is a big place I'm sure you'll make perfectly good new friends." My mom looked back at me smiling like her sentence was supposed to make some incredible impact on me or some shit. Maybe it would have if this wasn't the fourth time she's said it.

"I had perfectly good friends in New York," I grumbled flopping half of my body onto my brother long forgetting my seatbelt.

"Oh like your friend that got with your boyfriend two hours after you broke up?" 

Do you ever just want to stab your brother?

Charlie Cabrareah, a tall guy with more hair than brain cells. Likes the kind of music that makes your parents want to send you to church. Falls in love with almost any girl that gives him attention. Also known as my older brother. 

"Fuck off Charlie." Okay so maybe he's right. My boyfriend broke up with me once he found out I was moving and maybe he did start dating my best friend the same day. Maybe I would have been more hurt if the guy was smart enough to even point out California on a map. Not my biggest heartbreak.

"You're mother is right C, California is a big place. Heard lots of people play ball out there maybe you'll finally have some competition." My dad has always been a big baseball guy. He played when he was young but just didn't have what it needs to go to the pros. He always tried to get my brother into it but Charlie is... well a diva. If he doesn't want to do it he won't. So I guess in the end I was his little ball player. We have that in common, neither of us will make it to the pros.

-----------------

It's almost dinner time when we make it to the unimpressive-looking town. California's a big place my ass. It's just a small little suburban town. My first thought of it was, It looks dry.

We stopped at a small diner to eat. I swear smelling fresh air after sitting in car fumes made me light-headed. I got out of the car to stretch when I feel my feet leave the ground.

"Put me down you prick! Haven't I faced enough torture for one day?" I whined looking at Charlie who just had a big grin on his face.

"Well excuse me, your highness, I just thought maybe after not standing for so long your legs stopped working or some shit." He laughed while swaying me from side to side. 

We continued to goof around until I looked over and saw a group of boys staring at us. I blushed when I realized that my shirt had ridden up my stomach a bit when Charlie grabbed me. I smacked Charlie on the side of the head telling him to put me down. When he did I pulled my shirt down and looked over at the group of boys who were still staring. So I did what any person would do in that situation.

I stared back.

We stared at each other for a good ten awkward seconds before they finally looked away. Well most of them looked away. There was a tanned boy with soft-looking hair who was of decent height and just wouldn't look away. He smiled and waved at me but before I could do anything back he walked away.

"Come on Cade I'm starving and if we don't eat soon I'm going to eat you."

Ah, Charlie.

I started walking over to my family and thought to myself-

 I'm definitely going to see those boys again.
