A/N: why do I even bother people don't actually read these things!
He pulled back and rested his forehead on hers, " I know that you know that I love you, that's what I wanted to tell you"
Charlie leaned back on Spot's lap suddenly feeling a little light headed, " are you sure"
Spot couldn't help but laugh, "yea I'm sure"
"I don't know Spot, this is all kinda sudden"
"sudden Charlie c'mon we've been sleeping together for a month, that's not exactly wham bam thank you ma'am" Spot answered shifting Charlie off his lap and laying her next to him on the bed.
Charlie just lay there staring wide eyed at the ceiling, "damn Spot, look I'm sorry but we have to stop this it has to end now" she said moving to get up.
"shut up and sit your ass back down, look Charlie it freaks the shit outta me too, but your not getting away that easily, you know that you love me and I know it too,"
"no I don't , I haven't been serious about a guy for two years, look Spot I'm sorry but I wont let myself be put in this position"
Spot was starting to get angry he stood up fists clenched, "what position" he ground out through gritted teeth.
"the position to hurt you".
"whatever Charlie listen I put myself out there and now your gonna be like this fine I'm done I'm leaving"
Charlie sat there and watched him leave, she remained in the same spot on her bed clutching his shirt that he left behind, and for the first time in years crying.
It was a few weeks later and Charlie had successfully avoided Spot, she spent her lunches in the library, ignored him during classes, walked to and from school, all in all she was probably going to end up valedictorian from all the extra schoolwork she picked up just to keep herself busy.
Baseball season had started up and Charlie was dreading it because not only was Spot on the team but so was Jack, and Davey and every other guy she knew and was close too, therefore meaning she was forced to have to see him twice a week.
"hey Sweetcheeks, you comin tonight" Jack asked catching up to Charlie as she walked home.
"oh hey Jack, I don't know, I'm not sure its such a great idea for me to be there"
"you know for the past how ever long its been I've been telling you not to worry about Spot and you don't listen to me , well listen to this Davey and I will never forgive you if you don't come to the first game"
"yea yea I know I know, I don't know why you pester me so much you know I'll be there"
"I know I just had to make sure"
Charlie smiled and clasped the hand that Jack offered as they proceeded in the walk home.
She showed up promptly at the baseball field at seven o' clock wearing a red baseball shirt Jack provided, she was nervous granted but baseball was her favorite sport so she wasn't too extremely worried.
Spot was behind the plate catching, Jack was pitching, Skitts was left field, and Race was on second, the rest of the positions were taken up by boys that Charlie recognized but wasn't really familiar with other than names and faces.
Dave came up and sat down next to Charlie, she looked at him quizzically, "wait aren't you on the team"
Dave looked at her "yea but they decided to bump be down to JV so I decided screw em"
"alrighty then, so why is Spot catching, hes so not catcher material, hes short and has no ass"
"honey, have you seen his ass in baseball pants"
Charlie looked at Dave "well yes I saw him walk out of the dugout", she looked up and gestured towards Spot but apparently she hadn't looked as closely as she thought she had because upon a closer second glance she was a little taken aback, "oh my god" exclaimed clutching David's knee.
"told ya, sunflower seed?"
"huh, no catcher but, game, later" she mumbled.
Dave chuckled to himself, "oh lord here we go"
The game ended the boys winning by 5 of course.
Afterwards Jack invited Charlie to go with the rest of the team out to serendipity their favorite place to eat and get fat.
"Jack why did you drag me hear, you know what forget it I have to go I cant do this not yet anyways" Charlie said pulling away from Jack as he held the door open for her.
"I'll see you in class on Monday, bye"
Jack just hung his head, "why did you let her leave" Skittery questioned coming up behind him, "I thought you were gonna fix her and Spot"
"yea I was but you know what, this is something that they are going to have to fix for themselves, ya know and I think its bigger than we know, something else happened and I have a feeling this time it wasn't his fault"
Charlie awoke at 3:47 that morning to the buzzer buzzing up a storm, she walked not so gracefully to her front door and pushed the button on her intercom, "what" she growled.
"hey its me we need to talk"
"Jack go away" she sighed.
"I brought ice cream, cookie dough…your favorite"
"Jack it is 3 in the freakin morning do you really think that I want some damn ice cream" Charlie growled when she finally opened the door for Jack.
"well Charlie to be honest I don't really care because two of my best friends aren't speaking to each other and I have no idea why so I came to find out" he answered
"look Jack I don't really feel like divulging the details of my sex life to you especially in the middle of the night"
Jack nearly joked on the mouth of ice cream he had, "sex life, whoa no one told me about any Spot/ Charlie sex life"
Charlie looked surprised, " your kidding I thought for sure he would have told you at least hmm oh well"
"look Jack we were sleeping together for about a month and then he told me he loved me and the reasons that I bolted are only meant for him to hear and me to tell so forgive me if I don't exactly feel like getting into it"
"fair enough, but answer me this are you ever going to talk to him again"
Charlie sighed and ran a hand through her hair, "yea I will its just a matter of time"
Jack stood up to leave, "No Charlie it's a matter of you sucking it up and taking a walk on the wild side so to speak just go for it but I will warn you hes gonna want you to beg to talk to him so be prepared"
"yea yea thanks for the pep talk goodbye Jack" Charlie shut the door and silently prepared herself for the next day.
For the rest of the week Charlie continued her normal routine except this time she was avoiding Jack as well as Spot .
"God I might as well just move to a convent and take a vow of silence" she thought as she hid in a corner in the library, she picked up a book of the shelf some random collection of quotes. The first quote she turned to 'sometimes you have to take a leap and grow wings on your way down.'
"hmf guess that means I'm goin to that game" she said to herself as she shut the book and
got up.
The boys were out on the field warming up when Spot ran out to Jack to discuss the game with him but Jack had other plans, "so Spotty why didn't you tell me"
Spot removed his face mask and wiped his forehead, "tell you what Kelly"
"that you were bangin Charlie"
Spot looked at him shocked, "whatd you just say"
"yea she told me, well not really on purpose but it was 3 in the morning so yea but seriously why didn't you tell me"
Spot shrugged "I don't know, its just not, damnit Jack I don't know probably because it started out as just this piece of ass thing then I started to really like her, ya know like love her, and it just hurt too much to talk about it after she ditched me"
Jack nodded, looked up and saw something that made him smile, "well don't look now but your ex-love is here and might I say I haven't seen her dress like that in quite a while"
Spot looked up only to see his worst nightmare, Charlie, a hot Charlie for that matter, she was wearing some of those short trouser shorts, and a tan shirt thing and his favorite black stilettos.
" God I hate it when she does that"
"does what" Jack questioned puzzled
"looks gorgeous" he replied simply pulling his mask back down over his face.
Meanwhile Charlie was settling down in her seat,
"so whats the plan for tonight" David asked sitting down next to her.
"umm not sure but I really want to just be the loudest person in the stands"
"then do it" he answered as if it were the most obvious thing in the world, "you look nice tonight, haven't seen you like that in a while"
Charlie smiled, "thanks, the shoes, they're Spot's favorite"
"oh my god shut up and just watch the game" David laughed.
About half way through the game Charlie could no longer ignore some girl from the Harlem stands that wouldn't take her eyes off of Spot and continued to make rather disgusting statements about him.
"David are you hearing this girl" she asked elbowing him in the side.
"yea you should of heard her during football season"
Spot played football? Charlie thought to herself before continuing, "yea well she sounds like a whore" she replied apparently a bit too loud because little Miss Harlem stood up and walked over to the pair.
"excuse me mami but I know you weren't talking about me" she said waving one of her long acrylic fingernails in Charlie's face
David smiled knowing what was coming.
Charlie stood up and thanks to the heels met the girls face, "actually Harlem I was talking to you and if you say one more thing about number 21 or look at him one more time I will personally make certain that you will never be able to see or whistle at him again" Charlie smiled and sat down.
"oh no you think your gonna get off that easy for calling me a whore"a hand flew towards Charlie's face but luckily she caught it without even flinching.
By now the game had stopped and people had begun to stare.
"look bitch if you try to hit me again I will kick your ass, and if you ever look at him again I will kick your ass and you know what lets just make it simple if I ever see your face in manhattan or Brooklyn again I will kick your ass" she replied firmly yet calmly.
The Harlem girl turned around and slowly walked to her car hopped in and sped off.
Charlie sat back down, David who was still hysterically laughing gave her a high five while Jack and Spot once again met up at the pitchers mound for a little discussion.
"well I guess we wont have to worry about la vida loca showing up in the locker room anymore" Jack stated
"yea I guess not, I cannot believe that Charlie almost got in a fight with her"
"hmf I cant believe Charlie almost got in a fight over you"
"I know me either" Spot replied.
The game ended the boys winning their fifth game in a row. Charlie was standing around with Jack and the rest of the team all standing around congratulating each other and what not, slowly but surely everyone began to disperse when eventually it was just Spot and Charlie.
"so" Charlie began looking up at him.
"you wanna go for a walk" Spot questioned.
Charlie nodded a yes, Spot grabbed her hand and laced his fingers with hers and dragged her back to the baseball field and into the dugout.
"is this supposed to be turning me on because to be perfectly honest it kinda screams bad horror movie" Charlie joked only half kidding
Spot looked up with a stern face, "Sit"
She sat, "feet"
Charlie lifted her feet up to his lap, he removed her shoes and handed her a ball and glove. "c'mon we are gonna play a little game"
Charlie sat up and followed Spot out onto the field, she left him and headed for the pitchers mound.
"please you're a chick you cant throw that far"
"didn't I tell you my cousin is Derek Jeter, baseball is in my blood" She called out as the ball ripped through the air and hit his glove loudly.
"ok maybe your one of those mutated sporty hot chicks" he replied throwing it back.
"yea well ya know you weren't looking too bad yourself" she smiled.
"yea I know"
Charlie laughed, "and modest too"
"well why lie"
She rolled her eyes and caught the ball he threw back, "so what is the point of this whole game of catch" she questioned tossing it back to him as she walked closer.
"I don't know, I wanted to tell you something"
Charlie walked the whole way over to him and sat down. "ok so tell me"
Spot tried to talk but seemed to stumble over his words, "well I uh, I started dating this girl, and we are getting pretty serious and I just wanted to tell you that I don't love you and I'm done so yea"
Charlie's jaw dropped she honestly didn't know what to say, so she said nothing got up and left.
