-Bella-

"It's not that Bella, it's just that," he breaks his eyes away from me. Ice-blue circles look up, to my right side, and then down. His voice lowers, "Baseball comes first. Come on," His cold eyes come back up to meet mine, "you know that."

His words echo through my head.

Baseball comes first.

And apparently I already knew that.

I shiver.

"So what am I," I spit at him with a grating tone. "Second?" I ask him. "Nope, thats probably Bear. Third? Most likely your team. Fourth," My voice picks up to almost a screech. "Now I'm sure that has to be your car!" Jasper's eyes scan above my head, probably for an awkward glance at his prying and surely listening teammates behind me.

But right now, I couldn't give two flying, shitting fucks about his team or anyone else.

"Bella," he whines in an exasperated tone.

"Oh, don't Bella me!" I throw back, stepping closer to him and pointing a firm finger to his even firmer chest. "Don't call me, don't look for me, don't send me any fucking flowers! We end here," I hiss my last words to him and stare into my favorite chilling eyes one last time, before turning towards my favorite team.

One foot in front of the other.

The last thing I need right now is to trip on a baseball bat and fall head first onto my face.

I'm sure Jasper wouldn't reach out to catch me this time.

"Bella!" Jasper's voice calls out, after only a step. His voice drops to just above a whisper, "Don't do this."

I freeze and blankly stare straight ahead for just a moment, before spinning back to his bitter eyes and telling him the first thing that comes to mind. With my most sarcastic tone and biggest smirk, I give Jasper the last words he'll ever hear from me. "You should probably get going, you have a game to start. Wouldn't want to cost your team a lose because of me, now would we. After all, I'm only second," My words cling to the fresh, clean, ballpark air for what seems like forever, before the dugout explodes in laughter and screams.

As I rush past the frantic players, headed towards my welcoming exit, I just barely catch someone yell in between fits of laughter, "They caught that on camera!"

Worth continuing?
