The Summer Things Fell Apart and Back Again

by KMPcool

This is a story comprised of scenes, each 100 words or less. The sandlot boys have a new team member who isn't who he says he is. When secrets are discovered things fall apart, and Benny just can't run fast enough. It falls back together as they grieve. Rated T for suicide.

12. Benny's favorite letter

A.N. I don't own the Sandlot. Do you want more of these scenes?

Benny's favorite letter differed from Scotty's. He didn't want to remember that day so directly.

He preferred the one that read "You know it's okay to cry right? You shouldn't have to be strong for everyone else just because I wasn't. After everything I hope you all find someone to love just as strongly as you care for each other." He loved it because he wasn't alright, but he kept saying he was. He kept the tears from showing around the guys. That letter ended with "You've done enough."

"Do you like it here?" Benny asked.

"Yes," Scotty said.
