my career is taking off. i'm making so many friends. i'm in arizona with people i absolutely adore. i'm so good with everything right now. yet for whatever reason i feel a little off when i'm just on my own. i don't know why. everything around me is perfect. i'm supposed to be happy, and i am but i'm not at the same time? it's really strange.

everything makes sense right now except for one thing but i can't even figure out what that one thing is. it's kind of messing with me.

i'm in the dugout waiting and preparing for the game to start. as i start to jot down some things i hear foot steps coming towards me. it's corey!

"hey sades." corey says as he walks up to me in the dugout as i set down my notebook.

"hey! you ready?" i ask. i notice he looks a bit concerned.  "are you good core?"

"yeah, i'm fine. can i talk to you about something though?" i look at him with worry.

"so, what's up with you and cody?"

"um, i don't understand. what do you mean?"

my head starts to spin and put things together.

"i mean what are you two? like are you guys talking or getting together?"

"oh my gosh. corey. " i laugh, amused by his concern. "no we're just really close now. we're just friends."

"it doesn't seem like that honestly." he says.

"why are you so concerned about it corey?" i say starting to get a bit frustrated.

"i just don't want you guys to end up hurting each other. i mean, i love you both. i'd hate to have to see some huge fall out between you two. i also just wanted to let you know that if anything ever did happen between you two i'm here to support you both." corey sighs.

"awe core. listen, cody and i are just friends. don't worry about that okay. i really appreciate your honesty. now go get ready, you have a game to play!" i tell him reassuringly.

corey smiles and gives me a hug before heading back down to the locker rooms.

my heart sinks suddenly wondering why that came up in the first place. did cody feel something for me and tell corey about it? did i feel something for cody? how unprofessional would that be? would getting together even be an option? i mean we're just friends. that's all it has been since the day we met.
