Claudia
Today is day 2 of the season. Last night alex and i ordered food and watched movies. Right now we just finished making breakfast. "You're so beautiful" he says standing in between my legs , I'm sitting on the counter. I put my hands on his shoulder. "You're fucking hot" i say and he laughs. "Seriously. You're fucking HOT. Those fucking eyes" i say and i see him blush and he laughs. He burries his face on my neck. I rest my head on his and he wraps his arms on my waist leaving us in a comfortable position and comfortable silence. These little moments are all that matters. I really love and appreciate the small moments we have.

"My parents will be there today. We can go to ny place after the game and spend time with them if you want ?" He asks. "Of course" i say and peck his lips. "Okay I'll be at the stadium later" he says. "Okayyy" i say and chuckle. We say our goodbyes then i head to the staidum and do the "usual" which is practice , meetings and practice. After practice i go back and get ready for the game. I need to fix my hair and put on the uniform then i go to the dugout. "Claudia centerfield" andrew says and i nod. "You'll be miced up the whole game. You can take it off before batting if you want" he says. "Okay" i say. "Go with alana to get miced" he says and i nod.

"Were here now joined by the top prospecter Claudia Tihan. Who's in centerfield tonight" i hear through the ear piece. "Hello Claudia its Joe Davis" he says. "And Alana" she says. "Hello! How are you guys tonight?" I ask. "We're good! Thank you for asking how are you?" She asks. "I'm good" i say. "Whats the feeling for tonights game?" He asks. "The feeling is good , we're feeling confindent but also don't want to come off as showing off" i say. "Great job last night btw" he says. "Thank you" i say. The first girl gets to plate and i check the player card. "You actually use the note cards?" He asks. "No its just a glimpse so they can see we use them?" I say and chuckle.

"So for anyone whos wondering whats on the cards?" Alana asks. "With each player they will obviously hit different , the cards tell us where to be according to their hits" i say. She hits the ball and comes through the middle. "This one's on me" i say as i run to the back and catch it. I then throw the ball to a fan. Second player comes and gets on first base. Thrid player comes and hits it lands behind second base near me , second player starts running to base and i throw the ball to home and take out the second hitter. 2 outs. "Wow amazing play" they say. "Thanks" i say.

We're currently on our way to stl. We've been in colorado for the past 3 days. We played 7 home games then came to colorado now we're going to stl. Its 6am right now. We have the day off tomorrow. So let me say this , the team and i get along in the way when it comes to playing. Outside of it they all do their own thing and I'm in no way involved lol. I mean its all good right? Feeling alone , unwanted , unwelcomed. Yeah its totally fine. Traveling to a different place alone , being forced to room alone because no one wants to room with you. Spending 99% of the time alone. Yeah I'm totally fine. The loneliness bring back those horrible feelings and thoughts you haven't felt and wish you never had feel again? Yeah I'm fine. I wasn't able to say bye to alex because he had a game. I miss him alot.

"Claudia you'll be coming with us , the suv's are full" Alana says and i nod and put on my headphones. I walk to the car and put my suitcase and duffle bag in the trunk then get in the car and put my hood on tiying the strings. I'm honestly feeling so many emotions at this moment. Alana and someone else gets in the car and we head to the hotel. Midway she tapps my knee and i take off my headphones pausing my music. "Are you okay? You seem down a bit" she says. "Yeah I'm fine just tired" i say. Tired of feeling unwanted maybe? "Oh ,you look sad and you usually smile alot" she says and i chuckle. "Yeah I'm fine" i say and she nods.

"Alina , Daniella room 715, Yoatzi , Gabriella room 716 , Corinna , Elle room 717, Natti , Camila room 718 , Martha , Julia room 719 , Sarah , Nelly room 720 , Daisy , Tina room 721 , Claudia 726" he says and gives everyone the keys. You see i don't mind being alone , because i decide to be alone you know? But when I'm forced to be alone is when it sucks. Everyone starts going to the elevators. They all go in one and i go on another one alone. Before the door closes i see alana and the coaches talking. I soon get to the 7th floor and start looking for my room. I soon find it and its on the other side. From them. Isolated AF.

"This is fucken great" i say and sit on my bed. I showered before getting on the plane so I'm good. I fix some of ny stuff then lay down and watch tv.

"Morning babe" Alex says as i answer his facetime. "Morning" i say and half smile. "Whats wrong?" He asks and i stay quiet looking around the room. "Babe" he says more concerned. "I just I-I don't feel like i belong here. With this team , this league" i say and my eyes water. "I'm definitely not welcomed here" i add. "Don't say that , you definitely belong on the team. You're amazing , you're unbelievable" he says. "I do not. How do i belong in a team where I'm always doing shit on my own?" I ask. "A team sticks together , a team is suppose to be a family. They all have that with eachother then there's me. They have their own group and I'm here" i say.

"Babe just give it time. Give them time to adjust to you. It's not easy just bonding with potential strangers. Don't let that affect you and your game though. Don't let it get to your head. When i was is tripple A it took them a while to get comfortable around me. Thats how it goes with everyone. Okay? Don't make this hard on yourself. Don't feel alone because you arent. Don't feel unwanted nor unwelcomed" he says. You know what also is definitely making these feelings more hard? April 11 is my grandma's birthday , alex knows this. It's still very hard for me. I haven't really had a time to grieve.

"I'll call you tonight. I love you okay. I love you so so much. I don't like seeing you upset" he says. "I love you" i say. "Turn that frown upside down" he says and i chuckle.
