Bradin lay on his bed that night staring at his ceiling. He can't believe that Kay was living in Playa Linda. The night before she left entered his mind. Feeling her lips against his. Feeling the softness of her skin. Feeling the love he felt for her. That feeling has never left him since that night happened.He had sex with other girls because he thought he loved them. After each time he did it, Kay entered his mind and he soon realized that nothing added up to the way he will always feel for her.
It still bothered him that she called that night a mistake. He was hoping that her feelings for him would make her stay. He needed her. He was determined to get her back. He just needed to find a way. He took the chain that was around his neck. Kay gave it to him on his fifteenth birthday. Before then, he has always wanted a chain that had something special attatched to it. Kay was not only attatched to the chain. She was attatched to his heart. There was no way to take her out of his. He kissed the chain and went to bed.
Morning arrived. She rolled over and looked at her clock which read 8:03 A.M. She groaned and got up to get ready for practive at 9. She got up, washed up, changed into practice clothes, and pulled her hair back. she ate something quick and began to brush her teeh when the doorbell rang. She jogged to the door since she was the only one up and opened it to find Him there.
"Hi," he said softly.
She motioned for him to come in and told him one minute before running up to stairs to spit out the toothpaste in her mouth.
His heart sped up. She was actually going to talk to him. He never thought she would do it ever. Something must have hit her and wanted her to talk to him. She came back down and walked up to him.
"Um...want anything?" she asked not sure of what to say.
"Can we talk about what happened?" he asked. "I know that you don't want to talk about it. But, I need to...with you. Please, Kay Mae."
"I have practice at nine. I don't know how long we're going to have."
"Then, can we get together and talk about it?" he pleaded, "I need to tell you everything...every goddamn thing that I have felt since that night."
"After practice, I have games all day until late tonight."
"How many teams are you on?"
"Five."
He sighed. "What time are you done with them all?"
"Ten-ish tonight."
"Kay Mae, please talk to me after your game. Derrick has a game at eight. Meet me."
"Bradin," she said softly.
He placed his hand on her cheek and felt her soft skin. "Please."
Kay's day went by so fast. Going from practice to game to game to game until late that night. Her arm was getting so soar. She pitched in every game and was extremely tired by the last. However, her teams won. In her final game, she was starting to fall apart. She wasn't putting enough speed on the ball as she needed. The catcher ran up to her after she walked three people.
"What's going on?" she asked.
"My arm," Kay said rubbing her pitching arm, "I've been pitching all day."
The coach ran up as she watch Kay hold her arm. "Are you okay?" she asked woriedly.
"Can you take me out?" Kay asked.
"What! You're our star pitcher!"
"I've been pitching all day, coach. I can't feel my arm right now."
She nodded. "Come on. You can ice it and rest it."
Kay walked to the bench and grabbed an ice pack that would help her arm soothe. She sat down and placed her head on the fence behind her and sighed. She looked towards the stands and could feel her eyes water after what she saw.
