I AM SO SO SO SORRY ABOUT THE LATE UPDATE! I WAS GROUNDED AND HAD SOME THINGS GOING ON! HERE IS THE NEXT CHAPTER! Unfortunately, it's not that good. It doesn't have that much drama as my other chapters do. Well here is the chapter. Thank you to EVERYONE who stayed with the story. I really appreciate it! :)
Harper
Harper was in her bathroom pulling up her dirty blonde hair into a ponytail when someone knocked on the front door. Harper could hear Avery going to answer it.
"Oh Hi, Benny!" Avery chirped. "What's up?"
"Hey, Avery. Have you seen Chloe? She left our room last night."
"No, I haven't. Maybe Harper has?"
Benny turned to face her who had joined them a second ago. They both looked at her expectantly. Harper felt a pang of guilt, she remembered Chloe going into Yeah-Yeah's room last night but she didn't want to get her in trouble.
"I haven't seen her," Harper answered truthfully.
It was the truth. Harper didn't see Chloe, she only heard Chloe going into the room.
"Maybe she is with the other girls?" Harper offered desperately.
Benny shook his head and closed his dark eyes, "I already checked with them. They haven't seen her."
"Maybe she is with one of the boys?" Avery suggested.
Harper shrugged as if she didn't care. Benny opened his eyes and marched out of the room with the two girls following. He took out his keycard and opened Yeah-Yeah and Squint's room. There laid Chloe in Yeah-Yeah's bed while Yeah-Yeah sat at the edge organizing baseball cards while Squints slept on the other bed.
"Play Ball!" Ham yelled.
Harper dug her feet into the dirt, waiting for the right pitch. After getting his sister, Benny had offered a baseball game. Chloe had invited Logan much to the boy's distaste. Logan was warming up with the black-haired girl now, he had never played before.
"Ready for my heater?" Kenny asked.
"Anytime!" Harper quipped, taking a practice swing.
Kenny grinned then loaded up the pitch. He released the ball to Harper.
This is it.
Harper dug her feet in the ground before swinging. With a satisfying crack, the ball sailed over to Squints in right field. Harper didn't look to see if he caught it, she just ran.
"Get it Squints!"
"Pretend it's Wendy Peffercorn!"
"She's going to second!"
"Throw it here!"
Finally Squints managed to get the ball and threw it in, stopping Harper at second base.
"Nice hit," Bertram -the second baseman- congratulated her.
"Thanks!"
Next up was Grace who hit the ball straight to shortstop. It would've been an easy out if Yeah-Yeah had been paying attention. He let the ball roll past him, letting Harper go home and Grace to third.
"Wake up Yeah-Yeah!" Benny yelled.
Yeah-Yeah shook his head, cleared his eyes, and then picked up the ball. Harper and the boys jogged over to the distracted team member.
"What's wrong with you?"
"Why didn't you catch that?"
"That was an easy out?"
"Because of you, Harper scored!"
Yeah-Yeah glared towards the dugout, "Kind of hard to make plays when a blond freak is trying to kiss Chloe."
Heads snapped to where Chloe and Logan were. Logan had Chloe pushed up against the fence. The black-haired girl was trying to move closer or away from him. It was hard to tell. The team didn't care. Benny ran over there with a bat, Ham, and the others loyally followed. They weren't there to just protect Chloe but all the sisters. If Logan could get to Chloe, who knows who else he'd go after.
"Get away from her!" Ham ordered.
Seeing that he had company, Logan quickly stepped away. This allowed Chloe to go to her brother's side. Benny whispered in her ear while Chloe nodding yes or shaking her head.
"Trying to kiss her?" Kenny asked sharply. "We went over this!"
"Look," Logan put his hands up and took a step back. "I wasn't trying to kiss her. I wanted to tell her a secret."
The group looked at Chloe for confirmation.
"It's true," she confirmed.
Benny scowled but didn't say anything, Logan looked relieved. Chloe walked into the dugout to reappear with a bat.
"Come on!" She yelled. "I'm up to bat!"
Yeah-yeah grinned, happy to see that Chloe lost interest in the young article writer. Benny smiled cause his sister was back to normal. The boys ran back to their positions while the girls went into the dugout to watch. Logan started following but Harper stopped him.
"You need to go," Harper told him.
Logan's eyebrows shot up, "What? Why?"
"Cause we don't need you."
"You are tearing us apart."
"You are taking Chloe away from us."
"You are making our brothers mad."
The blond teen looked dejected as the girls started coming up with reasons.
"Okay, I'll go," Logan sighed. "Can you at least tell her I'll see her later?"
"Sure," Harper promised.
Absolutely not!
Logan walked off and Harper turned to see is Chloe saw. She didn't, she was too busy rounding bases. Benny saw, he put thumbs up, smiled at her, and mouthed:
Thank You.
Yes I know...
Not my best chapter.
