"Batting fourth is Seido's Koi Haru, with a batting average of .351 the flow of the game all depends on this one hit. With 2 strikes and 2 balls, Seido is in a tough spot!" I heard the commentator yell through the microphone.
It was a hot day; sweat gathered in the palm of my hand as I gripped the bat. I wiped my hands on my pants and cleaned my glasses on my pants. I wasn't worried. I knew I could hit this ball, everything was going fine. I repeated these words in my head as I took a deep breath. The field was somehow quiet despite all the yelling in the stands. If I hit this ball it'll get our momentum going. I can't let it get past me. I have to hit it perfectly. Perfectly. Perfectly. Perfect-
"YOU CAN DO IT HARU!!!" I looked at the dugout to see one of my best friends, Kawakami, encouraging me.
"YOU'RE TOO TENSE RURU-CHAN! RELAX~ RELAX~" Right beside Kawakami was Miyuki, my best friend since junior high. I always thought he'd be a great pitcher, but I support Miyuki's choices, he's an amazing catcher and is a big part of this team.
I took another deep breath as I rolled my shoulders. Gripping the bat with both of my hands I got into position, lowering my self and spreading my legs a little further apart so I could have better balance.
Two people on base first and third, I can do it. I watched as the pitcher raised up one of his legs pivoting himself as he twisted throwing the ball. I watched as it got closer and closer, I got ready to hit the ball before stopping in my tracks.
"BALL 3!!!"
"Nice~ Ruru-chan!!!"
'Okay, I can do it! I can do it! I'm amazing and cool! And I'm like the best batter EVER so like I can totally do it.' I thought to myself as I got into position.
I can do it!
The pitcher slowly got into position
The team is depending on me to get to the Nationals!
He released the ball
I can't let the 3rd years down
It slowly got closer and closer at an amazing speed until...
I CAN'T BE THE REASON THAT THE 3RD YEARS DON'T GO TO THE NATIONALS
It felt as if the world was moving in slow motion as the ball curved to the right. It was so fast even if it felt as if the world was moving 5 times slower than it should've. Yes! Another ball as long as I mo- What? W-why can't I move? Body move! Why won't you move! WHY WHY WHY! Come on the body not right now! We're so close to the Nationals! Seido can finally go to the nationals! WHy won't you MOVE! MOVE BODY MOVE! IT'S COMING CLOSER! IT'S COMING CLOSER!!! This can't be the reason we don't make it to the nationals! NO! NO! NO! N-
The world moved at its normal speed. It seemed as though the ball teleported. In that moment of confusion, a spherical object appeared in front of my face. And it just stayed there, taunting me of my impending doom. I couldn't move once again, it as though I was being chained into place not being able to move. It felt as if I was there forever like the gods wanted me to get a grip at what was happening, and know that I couldn't be able to do anything. That I was too weak to get my team out of this rut. As if... they wanted me to know how much of a failure I was to my team. And whatever was going to happen after this was going to happen next was my punishment. For not being good enough.
I suddenly felt the ball hit my face as I fell over from the force. I looked at the dugout the entire team was frozen in place their faces showing the same emotion sadness, despair. I could tell that not all of them were completely worried about me.
Of course, they weren't with what happened right now we wouldn't be able to go to the nationals. But I should be glad that they were still worried about such a fuck up like myself. Throwing away all of our chances of going to the Nationals.
I could feel the side of my body hit the floor as my eyesight went dark. I was still conscious but i just couldn't seem to see anything. It's probably because my eyes are closed. But for some reason, my body just doesn't seem to want me to open my eyes. Why?
I could hear my name being called and the padding of feet. Oh, it's the team.
"It's fine everyone I'm a-okay!" I yelled as I unsteadily got to my feet.
"Oh thank goodness," Miyuki? Oops, they're behind me! I turned to face the team" I thought something would've happened I'm so glad you- H-haru?" Hmmm.... why'd he call me by my name instead of his nickname for me?
"Is there something wrong Miyuki? I honestly can't open my eyes, so I wouldn't be able to tell if something happened! I don't know why though, maybe it's because of shock or..."
"Y-your e-eyes Haru."
...what? I slowly reached up to feel my eyes. Why is it wet? It smells like...metal.
"Huh? WHat ? what happened to my eyes?!?" I yelled as I wiped the blood from my cheeks. Getting no answer I ask again. Getting frustrated I grabbed the person in front of me. Who just so happened to be Miyuki. "Miyuki. Tell me, What HAPPENED?" I asked slightly raising my voice at the end.
"G-GLass..."
"W-what do you me...an" I could feel my consciousness slowly fading away. I fell forward trying to get a grasp at what was happening. I felt my face fall on something which was most likely Miyuki's Shoulder. There was a sharp pain causing me to scream out before succumbing to the darkness.
~~~
AH, very depressing indeed it is. It made me almost cry when writing it... almost
aannnnnyywwaaayyysss. This poor 1st year who just wanted to get the 3rd years to the nationals... breaks my heart just like the whole like last part of the second season... I think? Right when Sawamura accidentally hit the guy in the face and then the 3rd years cried and... depression. welp see ya next time... probably.
