Bram's P.O.V.
I was woken up by Axel jumping on me.
"Get up, shitface." He said while hitting me with a pillow.
"How did you even get in here?" I sighed as he stopped.
"My dad gave me the room key. Get your ass downstairs for breakfast so I can go to my tournament." Axel said while punching me.
I groaned in annoyance, but grabbed a change of clothes and went to the bathroom.
I changed into my clothes and went down to the continental breakfast at the hotel.
I ate some fruit from there and after ten minutes, we went to check out of the hotel.
We gathered all of our stuff up and put it in the van.
I went back inside with Will when he went to pay and I stole some waffles from the continental breakfast.
We drove to the baseball diamond and set up where we did yesterday.
"We're going to get more ice." Will told me.
I nodded and they went to the store.
I was sitting on the grass beside the blanket, undoing my shoe laces when I saw a shadow over me.
I looked up to see Axel holding the cooler above me and he pulled the tab at the bottom.
I shrieked since cold water started coming out due to the ice being melted and Axel laughed.
He stopped and put the cooler down.
He went on his phone while sitting in a chair and I laid down on the blanket.
I'm surprised that he isn't near his friends or at the dugout already. He came here today with his friends like he did yesterday, and yet he still comes over to where we are.
Once mom and Will came back, Axel left and went to the dugout with a water and a Gatorade. I kind of zoned out during his first two games, but all I know is that they lost the first game and won the second one. Axel had some downtime between games, so he went with his friends while I stayed in my seat.
"You should go hang out with Ax, Bram." Will suggested.
"He's wth his friends right now." I said.
"I know. You can still go over there. His friends are nice. They won't mind if you're there." Will replied.
"But-" I started and was cut off by my mom.
"Don't argue with Will. Go hang out with Axel." Mom told me.
I sighed but got up.
I walked over to the picnic table that Axel was at with his friends and I sat down.
"Go away, shitface." Axel said.
"Will made me come over here." I replied.
Axel sighed and went back to talking to his friends.
I put my earbuds in and made it look like I was part of their conversation, even though I was listening to music.
After half an hour, they had to play another game, so I went back over to Will and my mom.
"So what did you guys talk about?" Will questioned.
"Sports." I replied.
Will nodded, believing me and I laid down on the blanket.
We watched Axel's game, which they won and then had some downtime again.
Axel sat down in my lawn chair and Will stood up.
"I'm bringing back McDonald's. What does everybody want?" Will said.
"Big Mac please." Axel replied.
"Chicken nuggets please." I said.
"I'm not sure. I'll go with you so I can look at their menu." My mom told Will.
"Okay. What drink do you boys want?" He asked.
"Orange pop." I answered.
"Root beer." Axel added.
Will nodded and left with mom.
"I want to lay down. Get off." Axel told me while kicking me.
I winced and got up.
I sat down in my lawn chair and Axel laid down on the blanket.
He went on his phone and was watching videos.
I looked over after ten minutes and Axel fell asleep.
I smirked, knowing I could finally get him back for all those times that he's woken me up.
I stood up and went over to him.
I sat on Axel's back and started hitting his back.
He quickly turned over, pinning me beneath him and he sat up while keeping his hand on me so I don't run away.
"You seriously thought that you could do that and get away with it?" He scoffed.
He punched me a couple times and then noogied me.
He got off of me and shoved me away from him.
I got up and sat down in my lawn chair and waited for the food to come.
Mom and Will finally came and we ate our food.
Axel took three of my six chicken nuggets, trying to piss me off.
Axel had to go play his last game, so I took some of his fries after I finished mine.
Axel's team lost their last game, but they came in second place so that's still good. After they took team pictures, Axel came over to us.
We packed everything up and put it in the van.
"Dad, I left my stuff in the hotel. We need to go get it." Axel told Will.
He nodded and we got into the van.
We drove to the hotel and Axel got out.
"Bram, can you go help Axel get his stuff please?" Will asked me.
"Uh, sure." I answered.
I got out of the van and ran to catch up with Axel.
"Will's making me help you with your stuff." I said.
"You're not touching my shit." He replied.
We went up to the hotel room and his bag was the only one there because his friends took theirs. He got the room key that his friend left and took his. He got his bag and we went to the set of elevators that him and his friends went to yesterday. The elevator was at one end of a hallway where I saw there was a sign pointing up the hall that said "Pool and Gym".
Shit, I know what he's gonna do.
I stopped walking but was pushed by Axel to keep going.
I tried to run to the lobby but Axel ran after me and caught me within a few seconds.
He put his hand on my shoulder, squeezing it so he had a firm grip on me, and he went to the pool.
He swiped the room key card on it and went inside.
There was nobody in the pool, which sucked for me since I know he wouldn't do anything if people were in the pool.
I frantically tried to get away from Axel, but his grip was absolutely killing my shoulder. He put his bag down and took my phone out of my pocket along with my wallet.
He threw me into the deep end and I shrieked.
Once I surfaced, I swam to the ladder and got out.
I squeezed out the water from my shirt and my shorts.
Axel threw one of the hotel towels at me and I patted my pants dry.
My shirt was still really wet but I had to put up with it.
Axel shoved the towel into his bag and we checked out and gave the rook keys back to the front desk.
Axel and I went out to the van and he put his bag in the back of the van.
We got in and I sat in the single seat beside Axel who was in the other single seat.
I took my shirt off and grabbed my sweater from the very backseat.
I used it as a blanket since I knew I'd be too hot if I wore it.
I was almost asleep when I got kicked in the leg.
I knew that Axel kicked me, so when Will stopped to get gas, I went to the very back seat and laid down on it after putting my seatbelt on. I took a nap for an hour and when I woke up, I saw that Axel was asleep.
I took a bottle of water that I found in the back and I moved seats so that I was behind him.
Since he didn't have headphones on, I poured a little bit of water on him and he instantly sat up, wiping off his face.
I hid the water and pretended to sleep.
Axel punched my knee and Will said "Axel, don't do that!"
"He poured water on me!" Axel exclaimed.
"Bram! Don't pour water on him!" Mom scolded.
Axel shoved me and I was about to hit him back, when Will stepped in.
"Both of you stop or you'll be grounded." Will threatened.
We glared at each other, but stopped and I laid back down.
I fell asleep again and was woken up by being punched by Axel.
He kept hitting me and I started crying.
He stopped hitting me after a minute and got out of the van.
I stayed there and kept crying for a few minutes until I felt better.
I got out of the van and went up to my room with my stuff.
When I got up to my room, Axel was in there, laying on my bed while on his phone.
"What do you want now?" I sighed.
"Don't talk to me like that." He said.
I waited for him to continue since I knew he'd get more mad if I interrupted him.
"I'm having my friends over tomorrow and I don't need you ruining our day, so just stay away from us." He told me.
"Okay. I don't like your friends anyway." I said.
"I'll tell them that you said that." He replied.
"Fine by me." I said.
I laid down on my bed and he said "What are you doing?"
"I'm laying down on my bed. What are you doing?" I replied.
"Beating you up." He smirked and grabbed me before I could get away.
He started punching me and I winced in pain.
He put me in a chokehold and I coughed.
I kicked my legs and frantically tapped out as I lost oxygen.
He let go and Will called Axel's name from downstairs.
Axel left my room and I got up.
I closed the door and locked it, then I put my chair under the handle to stop Axel from trying to come in.
I got back into my bed and slept for the rest of the day.
