Chapter 7 – Spring Break can't come fast enough

Taking in a large breath, I dropped the weight. "Damn it." I cursed, Dylan laughed from behind me. "Are you okay?" I rolled my eyes and I shook my head, "No, I am not alright. I still have two weeks until I get to see Troy."

"Yea, how is that going?" I lifted my shirt and I wiped the sweat away from my forehead. "Okay. We are both talking to each other everyday, he is having fun and well we are both dying to see each other."

"You have been apart for only two weeks."

"Doesn't matter." I told him, I lifted the bar again and Dylan spotted me. I was doing his workout with him today; it had been a while since I had worked out. "You up for dinner tonight?" he asked, I put the bar back up. I had come with Ellie to see Dylan and she went to spend the day with her family. We were going to head back to New York tomorrow morning.

"Yea, I don't care."

"Well if you don't care, I won't take you out to dinner." I gave him a look, "Please, Dylan." He laughed, "Sorry, it was a good opportunity."

I chewed on my lip nervously; May guys came walking in and out of the weight room. Dylan was working his pre season workout and I was just working out. I did not miss volleyball like I thought I would. School was so much work it was crazy, I was glad I didn't end up doing the volleyball route.

Dylan began to lift; I leaned back against the bars. "I guess they are advancing Troy fast."

"That's what my dad said. He has pure talent and there isn't much more that they can teach him. They think by next season."

"That's serious fast track. They never do that with pitchers."

"He has every ball, I mean his slider isn't the best but he has the two seam and the four seam fast ball in the upper 90's, the curve ball is upper 80's, the cutter and the fork ball, he has a variety of pitches up his sleeve. He knows the game and he is just flying through these kids. Strike out after strike out."

"He is kind of freaked." I told him, "He is moving fast. I mean it's different with a pitcher than an outfielder."

"They aren't going to rush him and they will know when he is ready."

"I hope."

Dylan gave me a smile and tucked me underneath of his arms. "You guys are doing fine. There is no need to be worried."

I hugged Dylan, "Thank you,"

"Students, please," I rubbed my head with my fingers, "Can you all please pay attention to this demonstrations? You take the," the professor mumbled on about something, shit, I didn't know anymore.

I took notes and I began to wonder why I was even in this class. My phone vibrated and I looked at it, Troy had texted me a good morning even though I had been up for hours. I cursed the time change and I typed back that I had been up for hours.

Troy had to be on the field by eight everyday. It was ten here, just the beginning of my long day of classes. I swear Monday was sometimes the longest days. I had three classes to sit through.

I turned my phone off vibrate and sat it on my desk. When the professor announced to break into groups, he had posted them on the board. I gathered up all of my stuff and I followed the crowd to the board.

"You are with me Montez," I turned to see Colin. I closed my eyes; Colin seemed to have a thing for me that I didn't have in return. "Fantastic." I muttered, he laughed, "Why do you seem so upset?" he asked, I sat down next to him. "Well," I let out a long breath, "I am not upset."

"You don't seem pleased."

"Do you want to do this project?" I asked looking at him, he nodded, "Touché," he said with a grin. We went to our spots and I read over the guidelines. I could feel his eyes over me and I pulled my jacket closer. "Okay, so I think," when I looked up his brown eyes looked into mine. I pushed back and I broke the contact, "Okay, let's get this straight. I have a boyfriend."

His eyes perked, "This is news to me." He said glancing at me. "We have been together for two months and if you would like to erase the six months apart, it's almost been two years."

He laughed, "So he broke up with you and came begging back?"

"No." I snapped, "I broke up with him and we both kind of, its none of your god damn business." I snapped. He threw his hands up, "I didn't really ask in the first place." I glared at him. My phone buzzed and I looked to see a picture of Troy and Cody. A message that read came to see me. I smiled and I texted him back. "Which one is it?" he asked, "This one." I pointed to Troy. He was in a Royal's top his hat was on backwards.

"Does he play for the Royals?" he asked, his eyes big. "Kind of." I told him, "He is in the minor leagues. Starting at High Class A."

"Whoa, that's there top pick last year." I nodded, "Yea, we dated in high school."

"Okay, well," he cleared his throat and he began to work on the project. We talked for a while and then we decided a game plan. "Are you going to be here over Spring Break? If you are then we can finish it that week."

I pursed my lips together, "No, I am going to be in Arizona."

"Right, boyfriend."

I gave a nod; our teacher let us go, "Maybe next week?" I offered. "Yea, I can work that in to my basketball schedule." I closed my eyes, "That's right, you play basketball."

"Yea, are only break before March Madness is Spring Break." I cursed lightly and I looked at him, "I'll work it out, okay? Can you send me your basketball schedule?" I handed im the piece of paper with my phone number. "Sure thing."

We walked away and I slipped my bag over my shoulders. Stress melted away when I walked outside, I then called Troy since he was on his break. It rang a few times before he answered. "Hi beautiful." He said, "Hi," I told him quietly, "What's wrong?"

"Nothing," I told him, "Lie." He responded, "I have this project due after Spring break and my partner is a basketball player so he has to do stuff and they only get a break during spring break."

"Oh." Troy said, "Yea, I didn't really want to tell you."

"You aren't going to move our time together, are you?"

"No, of course not." I slid into Starbucks and ordered something. "I am just going to figure that it's going to be a bunch of late nights and too much time with him."

"Do you not like him?" Troy quickly became defensive, "Not really. He has a thing for me."

"Do you have a thing for him?"

"Troy," I said, "Okay, somebody isn't in the mood for jokes today."

"No, not really."

"I got that now."

"Good."

"Okay, so I have to go," I grabbed my Starbucks drink. "I will talk to you after my last class."

"We have a game tonight,"

"Right,"

"It's okay," he told me, "I'll call you after."

"Face Time?" I asked, "Sure thing."

"Good, I love you."

"Love you too."

"Bye,"

I hoofed my way to my next class; this was going to be a long day.

"Colin," he turned out, he was in a hoodie with a pair of jeans. "Yo," I rolled my eyes, "We can both do it tonight."

"I am going out tonight."

"Colin, we have a week before we are both not available. Either you are going to be at my dorm room tonight or you are going to flunk."

Colin looked up, "How does your boyfriend handle you? You are a pain in the ass." I raised my eyebrows, "Well for one we like each other, and it's a mutual feeling."

"Yea, I get that we don't like each other."

"Pretty much. So are you going to come tonight or what? I'll even buy Chinese food."

"Spend daddy's money?"

"Yea, I am. Got a problem with free food?"

"No but I don't like Chinese," he stuck his nose up, "Pizza." I offered, "All on me."

"Good. I'll be at your dorm room by eight." I rolled my eyes, "Good." He walked away, he plugged his headphones back in and I went back to my dorm. I only had one more week until I was able to see Troy. Colin and I were one fourth of the way done with our project. I was counting down the days with everybody else in my dorm. They all knew about Troy and they and I knew how much we missed each other.

Walking back into my dorm, I slid in and went upstairs. I opened the door; Mallory and Ellie were both going to Mexico for spring break. I had been invited but they knew my answer, they knew where I was going and nothing was going to change that.

Brad and a few other guys were also going, it was part of the campus thing but they were going to get drunk and have nothing to do with school. If you were part of the school you could get a nice discount.

Mallory was working on a project on the floor. "Colin is coming over at eight." I mumbled, "Oh you must be thrilled."

"Ecstatic." I replied, "Troy and I are supposed to face time then,"

"Face time, he probably wants to supervise Colin anyways." A giggle left my mouth, "Yea, probably."

I pulled out most of my homework, "I guess I am buying pizza tonight too. Colin is such a douche sometimes." She laughed, "You just figured this out?"

"No." Ellie came strolling through the door from her last class; she had been sick the past few days and was just now starting to look a little bit better. "How are you feeling?" I asked her; she collapsed down into the chair. "Like shit. I don't want to go to Mexico like this."

"You'll be fine by then."

My heart pounded, I still hadn't opened Troy's gift from my birthday. I was nervous to open it and I hadn't missed him that bad yet, my chest panged and I let out a long breath. I missed him I missed him like crazy.

I got up off of the floor and went into my room. I picked up the box from the chair and I went back out. Ellie and Mallory both gave me a look, "You are going to open it?" she asked, "Yea, I miss him and its only a week until I am back into his arms."

Mallory and Ellie shared a look. I then pulled the ribbon from the box. I unwrapped the paper and the first I got was a card. His handwriting looping across the top, a smile spread over my lips.

I opened it up and slid the paper out.

Brie,

I have no idea when you are going to read this but Happy Birthday, since I am writing this on your birthday. I'm glad you are mine all over again; I don't know how much longer I could have gone without you being mine. You are my one and only and this is why I couldn't make it to your birthday lunch. I am putting together this little kit of things, if you are okay that means you didn't open it for a while and that you will be back with me soon. Unless you are opening it that night but I doubt you will. Anyways, I can't wait till I see you again Brie, its going to be a long hard month without each other but we can do it. We are strong and we might have had those six months apart but we are going to make it through, it was a good break. I love you and I know you love me. One of the things I love about you would be when your nose scrunches up when you laugh or how your eyes twinkle. I love everything about you. How you can comfort me and how with one touch, I just need you. We are made for each other, you are my soul mate and that's the truth. Tonight I am going to take you to dinner and for some ice cream, the one place. I remember exactly what you ordered on our first date. The wedding cake. It was good, I have to admit and that's when I learned you aren't big into mint. I remember all of these things about you and when I wasn't with you, I didn't know what to do with those things. That's why I need you. I could probably keep writing for hours but I am going to cut this short. I hope you enjoy everything I got you. I will probably be calling you soon so I love you so much baby girl, I can't wait for you to be in my arms all over again. I can't wait to kiss you and I really can't wait to just hold you. I miss you and I love you.

Xoxo – Troy

I melted as I read the letter. Tears washed down my cheek, Mallory and Ellie reading over my shoulder. I put the letter down and wiped my eyes, "I love him so much," I said to them. "I can see why." Mallory said I then picked up the lid to the box. A CD was on top; I opened it up to see a playlist of our favorite songs together. I found a small blanket that was blue and had baseballs all over it. The next thing was a box of chocolates and some other candy.

My fingers then graced over a baseball, well actually three of them.

Our lunch together where I broke your walls.

We finally got back together!

Our first time apart.

I let my fingers trace over the three balls, dates were underneath all of them. February 8th, the day we got back together. A smile spread over my lips and I looked at all of the stuff in my lap. "I wish I had a boyfriend like that." Mallory complained, "All of the ones I have are just in it for sex."

"Those good boyfriends do this to get better sex." Ellie commented, I laughed and nodded, "Probably." I stroked the blanket. "Why the baseballs?" Ellie asked, "When he first asked me out he gave me a bucket of baseballs. He wrote our milestones together like when we met, our friendship, when things happen, stuff like that. Ever since, he gives me baseballs for certain things. He asked me to prom that way and a few other things. He writes them all down and we put them in the bucket."

"I assume that's at home." I nodded, "it is."

"He is so cute." Ellie admired, I wiped away a few tears and took in a big breath. I stood up to put everything in my room when my phone rang. I jumped and I grabbed it to see Troy was calling me.

I answered it, "Hey," I said, "You sound upset?" I laughed, "No, I am not upset." I told him, "I just opened your little package."

"Finally." Troy said with a laugh, "It was well worth the wait."

"Only one week baby girl, one week." He said I took in a large breath. "I know,"

"Friday night, I will be on the ball fields but I think you know your way around."

"I do."

"It sucks I can't greet you at the airport."

"It goes."

"Can we Face time later?"

"Yea, Colin is coming over to work on our project again."

"I really want to Face time."

"I figured but keep it professional okay?"

"What are you talking about?" he asked with a laugh, "Keep it clean."

"Oh, you mean it that way."

"Troy," I said lowly, I put the baseballs up and I spread the blanket over my bed. I then collapsed down onto it. "I have to go but I miss you."

"I miss you too." I whispered, "I miss you a lot."

"One week."

"One week."

"I'll talk to you in a little bit. I think Zack will be there too."

"Good, I miss Zack."

"Really now?"

"I thought you had to go."

"I do, I love you."

"I love you too." We hung up and I buried my head into my pillow. After my last class next Friday, I was gone. I was going to be on a flight to Arizona, then to Surprise. I was going to go to his game. I felt my stomach crawl with giddiness. Nobody had any idea how excited I was.

Curling up with my blanket I felt a poke. "Montez, where the hell is my pizza?" I stirred awake and I looked up to see Colin standing before me. I closed my eyes again and I picked up a pillow to put it over my eyes. "Colin, call it in yourself. I'll pay."

"Come on, let's get this started." I groaned and sat up, "Let's keep going. If you don't remember, I already did all of the research."

"Oh yea,"

"Colin," he gave a look. "Sorry." He picked up his phone and he called in two different pizzas and bread sticks. I didn't complain and I started up my laptop and went back out to the living area. I grabbed my iPad and I fixed my hair into a neater messy bun, if that was even possible.

Colin came back out and took some of his stuff out. We worked easily for the first thirty minutes, then the pizza man was there and my iPad was going off for Troy's and I face time. I picked up my wallet and I glanced at my iPad. "Colin, can you answer that?" he looked over at the iPad and he picked it up. Troy's name was Stud under my phone and Colin raised his eyebrows. "I'm not calling you."

"Colin, can you just answer it." I opened the door and I heard him greet Troy. Then Troy's confused answer greeted my ears. "I'm coming!" I yelled over my shoulder, I smiled at the pizza man and then paid him. He waved and I gave a big smile. I then jumped over the couch and shoved pizza into Colin's chest. He groaned and I stole my iPad back.

"Hi!" I said with a smile, Troy laughed, "Hi, your eyes look crazy." I gave a smile I set up my iPad. Colin, Troy and I engaged in a conversation for quite some time, Zack had joined at one time. Mallory and Ellie had come back from dinner and we were all talking. Colin and I were three fourths of the way done when we had both stopped doing and were just talking.

"Alright, I gotta go baby," I said with a sad face. "I am going to go eat anyways. Nice meeting you Colin," Colin nodded and waved in response. I then stood up to go to my room; "I'll talk to you tomorrow okay?"

"Okay, I love you."

"Love you too baby."

He smiled and we both hung up. I then went out to see Colin cleaning up. "He is a great guy." Colin said with a defeated smile, "I'm glad you have him."

I laughed, "Thanks," he finished cleaning, "I think we can have it finished this week. Can you come over Monday?"

"What time is your last class?" he asked me, "Two."

"I can be here at four." He replied, "I have practice in the morning."

"Thanks," I told him, "For tonight, I had fun."

"I had fun. Do you think we could be friends?" he asked, "You are pretty cool. I kind of like Mallory," I laughed and nodded, "Yea, I think we can manage as friends." He smiled, "Good."

He hugged me and then he picked up his backpack. "See you later."

"Bye," I hollered, he walked out of the door and I finished cleaning the living room. I then went into my room, it was close to midnight, I was tired and I had nothing to do tomorrow. I then crashed into my bed; I cuddled up with Troy's blanket and took a long whiff. It didn't smell like him but I wished it did. Tears then were in my eyes, I really missed him and I don't know how to miss him any less.

"Finished." Colin said, he taped the last thing down and I smiled, "It looks great."

"I hope Professor Sanchez thinks so." Colin then turned, "So do you think you could hook me up with Mallory?" he asked, I raised an eyebrow, "You want to get together with Mal?"

"Kind of."

"She isn't looking for a fling."

"Of course not I want a relationship."

"Well then maybe. Do you think you could until after Mexico for her? I mean who wants to be in a relationship while they are in Mexico?"

"Fair enough, when do you get back?"

"The following Monday."

"The Monday after Spring break?"

"Yea, I am going to miss one class but it was a fair trade off."

"I would think so." He crossed his arms and we both began to pack up. I had three more full days until I saw Troy it was beginning to become hard, I could only imagine what two months without him was going to be like. "What does Mallory like?"

"To be lazy," he laughed, "Really? I don't see Mallory as that type."

"Well she is. She loves to lay around and watch movies or listen to music."

"Sounds right up my ally,"

"She likes surprises. She loves romantics and she wants to be your everything."

"Do you think she likes me?"

"Maybe. All you can do is ask her on a date and see how it goes and no, I am not hooking you guys up. You need to be a twenty year old and get up the courage to ask her out."

He glanced at me, "Really?" he asked, "You are such a loser." I laughed, "Come on. That is so middle school."

"Yea! And I had a girl do it then for me too!"

"Come on Mallory won't bite you. She will either smile and say yes or tell you to fuck off."

"I am worried about that second part."

"I would be too." He looked at me, "You are no help, at all."

"Well I have been separated from my boyfriend for about a month," I told him, "Oh blah blah," I glanced at him, "So insensitive."

"You are too sensitive!"

"Shut up."

I put my project under my arm, "Don't you have basketball practice to be at?"

"Yes, I do. Now I will see you later, thanks for the help."

"It was a project."

"It was one of my first that I had to actually do." I glared at him, "That doesn't fly with me."

"I know. I was kind of bummed when we were partners."

"So sorry."

He smiled, "I had fun. Now I want to see your dad play sometime."

"I already have maxed out on my home opener."

"Doesn't have to be a home opener."

"Good. Maybe some other time."

"Maybe, I could take Mallory."

"Maybe you could."

"I'll see you later." I told him, "Good job,"

"Yup!" we went separate ways and I went back to my dorm. I was done with classes for today and I still needed to pack for Arizona. Thank Goodness, I could finally say such words.

My phone rang and I picked it up, "Hey Gabs,"

"Hi momma." I heard one of the twins babbling in the background. "How is everything at home."

"Good. The twins miss you and wish you were coming home for Spring Break."

"Sorry." I apologized, "No, you go have fun with your boyfriend. I think I am going to take them to Florida."

"Yea, they would probably love to see dad."

"Yea, I think they would. How is school?"

"Okay. It's going by really slow this week."

"I bet it is."

"Has dad called you in the last forty eight hours?"

"Yea, why?"

"He hasn't called me."

"Oh, well call him."

"I did. He didn't return my phone call."

"Oh." My mom sounded puzzle. I touched my necklace. "I guess I should call him again."

"Yea, do. If he doesn't answer call me okay?" I nodded, "Okay."

I hung up with my mom to call my dad. He did answer. "Why did you never call me or call me back?"

"What do you mean?"

"I called you three times yesterday."

"Oh, I was busy."

"I guess."

"Gabi,"

"Dad,"

"Don't get sassy. I will take those plane ticket away."

"Dad," I fought, "Why are you so pissed?"

"Don't use that language with me."

I threw my hands up, "Are you okay?"

"Well instead of going to see her family my daughter is going to Arizona."

"Dad," I argued, "You are going to be in New York in like two weeks, mom and the twins will be here. I don't see a big problem here. I won't get to see my boyfriend until May."

"God, Gabi, I'm sorry. I don't know what's wrong with me. I am so snappy lately."

"Apparently." I said, my lips turning upside down. "I was just wondering why you hadn't called me back."

"I've been…busy."

"Busy with what?"

He was quiet, "Dad?"

"Nothing Gabi,"

"Dad, you are scaring me."

He took a deep breath, "I got hurt two days ago. They are doing more tests but they think I might be out for a few weeks."

"Dad, why didn't you tell me?"

"I know how stressed you are and,"

"Dad,"

"Okay, fine I know how much you would want to come see me over Troy because I am hurt but I don't want you to do that."

I couldn't lie it crossed my mind. "Dad, I am going to go see Troy." I said softly, "What did you hurt?"

"My hand,"

"What about it?"

"I fractured it in several different places or they think. We are waiting to get the results back."

"Why did I not see anything on it."

"Nobody really knows besides coach and a few doctors. I should be fine though. Really."

"I'm glad but you could have called me."

"I will, next time."

"There better not be a next time." He laughed, "No, there shouldn't be."

"What were you doing?"

"A ball hit my hand by our best pitcher. He nailed me."

I laughed, "Of course, well I hope you are feeling okay."

"I am feeling fine. My hand hurts like hell though."

"How long?"

"Six weeks they think."

"So the home opener."

"Yea, I probably won't be playing."

"My friends won't care," I said with a brief laugh, "No, probably not."

"I will though."

"Well I can see you a little bit more."

"Good."

"I love you dad."

"I love you too sweetie."

8 hours. ;)

I jumped giddily at the text; I only had one more class.

Spring break could not approach soon enough. My stomach flew and I entered my class, it had to be my longest class of the day and then I had to go grab my things, get to the airport and then the five-hour flight.

My stomach twisted in knots. I missed him. I missed his touch and his smell. I wasn't sure how we were going to make it two months without each other. Our professor assigned us no homework, which made it even better. I had some homework but not a bunch. I was glad for that. I wasn't going to drag it all the way to Arizona; I didn't plan on doing any homework there. I planned on being with Troy.

I was going to go to Spring Training, games and anything I could go to. My dad had bruised his hand badly and fractured it in one spot. He was going to be back in the line up faster than he thought, which was good.

I jumped when the teacher let us loose, I went running for the door and then back to my dorm. Mallory and Ellie were leaving tonight and Brad was going home instead since his grandmother had taken a turn for the worse.

I bounced into my dorm, I began to scoop up bags and stuff, and I found my plane tickets stuffing them into my purse. "Whoa, slow down honey," Mallory said with a laugh, "That plane isn't going anywhere."

"Yes it is! It's going to see Troy!" I yelled from my room, I packed my blanket and my laptop away. I pushed movies I had never seen before into my bag and slipped it over my shoulders. I found everything else I would need plus my id. I then went out to scoop both of my friends into a large hug. "I love you guys."

"I love you too Gabs," Ellie and Mallory echoed, "Have fun with Troy." I nodded with a big smile, "I will. I will text you when I land and you text me when you land okay?"

"Fair," we all smiled and hugged once more. "Alright, I gotta go."

"Be safe girl!"

"In more ways than one!" Mallory said with a grin, I rolled my eyes, "Bye!" I waved, I ran into Brad. "Have fun Brad."

"Yea, fun, going to see my grandmother instead of Mexico."

"Don't take the time for granted." I told him, I then gave him a hug. My car should have been waiting for me. He hugged me back and he gave a soft smile, "I'll see you later, and have fun with Troy."

"I will and thanks!" I waved goodbye and hurried out of the building with my suitcase and my purse plus my backpack.

My car was awaiting and they loaded everything up. I climbed into the back seat, it was noon in Arizona, and I would land a four, which was the exact time right now. I tapped my foot against the ground and the driver drove through the streets of New York. I looked at my boarding pass and I smiled, I took a picture and posted it onto Twitter.

Going to see my baby! So excited!

I tagged Troy in it and I looked up to see us arriving at the airport. A smile burst over my lips and I paid the guy. He thanked me and I took my bags through the airport. I checked them in and I then went through security. I slipped off my belt and my earrings, my bracelet and necklace before taking my shoes off. I slipped through security without a problem and I put everything back on.

I then found a comfortable spot until my plane was called. I texted both my parents and Troy letting them know I was about to board a plane. When my flight number was called, I got up and I showed my ticket, they let me through and I found my seat. I had a window seat and buckled up, pushing everything away. I turned my phone off and stowed it away, hoping that just doing that will get us out of here a little bit faster.

After twenty minutes of just sitting on the plane, they finally began to taxi. I couldn't have been more excited. A guy had sat down next to me and he was listening to something, he was wearing a Rangers shirt. I was wearing a Royal's one. "Are you going to Surprise?" he asked looking over at me. "Yea, I am. My boyfriend is a minor leaguer."

"Oh really, which one?"

"Troy Bolton,"

"Wow, the first round pick that is just killing it in the minors." I smiled, "Yea, that would be him."

"I wish the Rangers would have had a shot at him. He is a great pitcher."

"Thanks,"

"How long has it been since you have seen each other?"

"A month,"

"Are you going to school here?"

"Yea, I am going to NYU."

"Wasn't Troy Bolton once dating Alex Montez's daughter?" I laughed and nodded, "He still is." He gave a smile, then he stuck his hand out, "It's great to meet you and your dad is a fantastic ball player."

I thanked him once more and then the plane was smooth sailing. I just wanted to be back in Troy's arms.

~T&G~

"Ladies and Gentlemen, we are finally landing in Phoenix Arizona, it is a warm 70 degrees outside and the sun is high in the sky. I hope you all have a wonderful stay in Arizona, the local time is 4:34."

I unbuckled my seat belt quickly and I gathered up my things. Of course I had to wait for baggage claim but the sooner I was off, the better. The guy smiled at me and I got off the plane quickly. I ran to the baggage claim and I prayed that I could get my baggage fast. I ran over to my rental car place, my dad had set everything up so getting a car shouldn't have been that big of a deal since I was 19.

He had called and told them, I had to be charged more and blah but it was well worth it. I went to the counter and it was pretty painless, I then went back to luggage to grab all of it. The luggage was coming out and I spotted my suitcase and bag pretty quick. I slung it over my shoulder and walked outside, I found the car and they took a report on it.

Getting out of the garage was easier. The sun was beginning to set and traffic was flowing. I knew exactly where I was going, I turned down the music and I tried not to speed to the stadium. I was supposed to take up to an hour but I was half way there in twenty-five minutes. I pulled through a sonic and grabbed a drink, I then continued through the streets.

At a stoplight I had texted my dad and the girls, saying I was here and almost to Troy. Going through the light, I tried to keep my excitement inside of me. He might be on the field or not available but if I could just see him that was enough. Taking a long breath, I turned around in the parking lot; I then found a parking spot. To get into the minor league games was free; the park was full as somebody on the big leagues was having a game. Texas or Royals, I don't know. I didn't care.

I parked the car leaving everything behind except my purse. I would be back. I ran through the parking lot and down the long stretch. Looking at all of the fields and trying to find Troy. I then spotted Cody, "Whoa! Is that Montez?" I skidded, "Where is he?" I was almost in tears, he smiled, "Go down there and take a left." My feet went off faster than I my brain. I ran and I came to his field. They were just coming off the field, Troy was in the dug out and he had turned around just in time.

His eyes caught mine and he pulled out of the dug out.

I moved faster and he met me half way. My body collided with his and I burst into tears. Troy wrapped me up into his arms and he spun me around. "Hi baby girl," he said into my ear. I cried in his neck and he gave me a big smile, then he kissed me. I cupped his face into my hands. Our lips meeting faster. The encounter couldn't have been more than a minute but I pulled away. He looked into my eyes and he smiled, "I have missed you."

"No, I have missed you."

He smiled, then he kissed my forehead, "I have to go back but we only have a few innings left. Cody is here,"

"I saw him," I sniffled and Troy wiped away my tears. "It's okay," he said with a laugh, "I know, I am just so excited to see you." He kissed me again. "I'll be back soon, okay?"

"Okay." He squeezed my hand and then ran back to the dugout. Zack shoved his shoulder and I laughed, I wiped away my tears. "Man, he missed you."

"I figured." I told with a laugh, I then hugged Cody. "Hi,"

"Hi, how have you been?"

"I'm a lot better now."

"Must have been hard."

"Spring Break couldn't have come soon enough."
