Chapter 2 - Baseball

It's been one week. One whole week. Seven days sense I last talked to Caitlyn. Well, of course I'd talked to her, we share a cabin, but only little hello's and goodbye's.

I could tell it was really starting to annoy her. Whenever our eyes locked, I could see the concern and worry in hers. I also saw some kind of guilt in them, but I just figured that was about something else.

But getting back to the point, it's been a week. Do you know what that's like? To not say anything to your best friend and possibly the girl you love for seven days?

Love. Did I just think that? Did I really just say that I love Caitlyn?

No. It was a mistake, I'm sorry I ever mentioned it. I don't love Caitlyn like that. No, I could never. It's not right. It's wrong.

I walked out of the cabin and into the sunny weather that now surrounded me. It was one of those days were there were only one or two lazy clouds in the sky. The sun was shining brightly. Proud to be there.

Before I could even reach the trail, my mind was back on her. I hated myself, I have no will power. Like, none. I'm pathetic.

I let out a frustrated sigh as I walked down to the lake. I wasn't expecting to find anyone, but when I did, it surprised me.

Jason, of Connect 3, was sitting in a canoe...on land. He had a paddle in his hands and he was paddling away at the canoe's side...at air.

I walked up to him and without saying a word I hopped in the canoe and sat on the other seat, facing him. He smiled at me but continued his rowing.

"Should I ask?" I questioned while pointing to the paddle.

"I told Nate that I really like this girl but I don't know what to do. He told me to take her out on a canoe ride, and that it always works. He said he told Shane the same thing and that it worked for him, I figured I'd give it a shot." He smiled while keeping his eyes on the moving paddle.

"You do know that you're on land...right?" I laughed while turning to look behind me at the lake.

"Nate told me to practice first so I don't drown." He replied while moving the paddle to other side of the canoe and rowing on that side. His eyes still following the paddle's every move.

"What do you mean it worked for Shane, like what's the canoe ride for?" I asked with a small laugh.

He glanced over at me then answered, "To get a girl to like you...and then Shane told me something about getting to first base and second base and then third...I didn't know we were playing baseball."

"Did Nate say who Shane got the canoe ride thing to work on?" I knew the answer would be me, but I just wanted to hear it. But I don't recall 'playing baseball' with Shane. I waved the thought from my head. Shane was probably just messing with Jason.

"Hello! He never stops talking about her." Jason smiled while switching rowing sides again. "That cute producer girl, Caitlyn. She's all he talks about. I wonder if he played baseball with her with yet."

I wonder if he played baseball with her. The words rang in my head. My heart felt like it had just been stabbed. Shane...with Caitlyn? MY Caitlyn? No, that's...he'd never go behind my back like that. He wouldn't. He didn't.

And there's no way Caitlyn would be into him. He's Shane Gray, the handsome, charming, persuasive, popstar that...oh my god I think I'm gonna throw up.

I jumped out of the conoe and ran towards the trail. I heard Jason yell out a, See You Later, but I didn't care. My eyes burned as tears began to gather. I cursed myself for being so weak. I didn't want to believe this, but something told me it was true. Something told me I was too stupid to realize that my ex was doing my best friend.

Without thinking about what I was doing or where I was going I took a left turn on to a trail. All I could think about was Shane's smug grin. I didn't believe it. I was going to ask Caitlyn straight up if it was true. I was gonna march in there and ask her, no matter what.

I stopped when I saw my cabin in front of me. I stopped when I realized I had taken the right trail without realizing it. I stopped when my brain refused to function. I stopped when I saw Shane Gray kissing Caitlyn Gellar.

AN: This chapter turned out a lot different then I had thought it would have. I wasn't even planning on putting Shane and Caitlyn together, honestly I'd never even thought of that couple until I wrote this down. Weird huh?
