Did anyone ever tell you that you guys are the best? I didn't get the rest of the story posted today, but tomorrow for sure!
Thanks to Missy, Annie, Kenny and Mid who read this all right after I finished writing it and made suggestions on how to fix things!
April to June
"You should just tell her, man." Emmett shot me a pointed look.
"But why? What would be the point? First of all, I don't want to lose her as a friend, and secondly, what if she doesn't like me back? That would be awkward," I responded with a heavy sigh.
We were locked in my dorm room while the girls all got ready in Bella's. Everyone had decided to come to our place this weekend to hang out; even Alec, but he wasn't here yet.
"What if she does like you back?" Jasper asked.
"Has she said anything to the girls?" I waited anxiously for his response, but he said nothing. Instead, I watched Emmett and Jasper exchange a look. "What? What aren't you two telling me?"
Emmett sighed. "Look, she hasn't said much. But I think you're kind of hurting her feelings."
"What do you mean?"
"Think about all the stuff you guys used to do when you were hanging out. Being playful, goofing around. Even in the small amount of time we've been here, we can see the recent difference. I can only imagine what she's thinking," Jasper explained, while Emmett nodded.
That certainly gave me some stuff to think about.
There wasn't time at that moment, though, as there was a knock on our door. It opened with a flair and the girls came in giggling.

I didn't fully consider the implications of joining the baseball team. Sure, I was getting to play a sport I loved, but it also meant I wasn't going home, and Heidi was devastated. She'd cried on the phone when I told her, and I had to admit, I teared up, too. She felt a little better when I told her she could come to visit me, and that maybe Mom and Dad would let her fly out on her own. I felt better when I learned that Bella would be staying behind, as well.
