Prompt: Jackson and Romana at a baseball game.


Jackosn had fond memories of going to baseball games with his dad. He loved baseball and whenever he wasn't working he would take Jackson out, just the two of them since Max was still a baby. But then his dad died and he had no one to go with.

His mother was always busy with life so she didn't have too much time to go to games with him. Aunt Stef was fun to go with it but she was still known as the curse. Max wouldn't go without Rose and Rose wasn't a huge baseball fan. Lola was never a big baseball girl either. So he settled for going by himself into Romona offered to go with him.

It got him really excited until he realized that Romona wasn't interested in baseball. When he asked her why she went, she hugged and said it was important to him and as his best friend that was enough.

He was touched by that.

It meant a lot to him that Romana made an effort to go with him to the game.

His past girlfriends didn't like baseball that much and most only attended one game.

Even with them in different colleges, she never missed a game in the summer.


The summer before their junior year of college, Romona came back and he didn't recognize her.

Her long hair fell past her waist in waves and she grew about four inches. She arrived in a light summer dress and a pair of flats. She looked so grown up and it hit him them why so many guys in high schools had chased after her.

He made sure not to hang out with her by himself, he wasn't sure if he had the willpower not to kiss her or run his hands through her long hair.

When his mother got them tickets for a baseball game he froze and then politely asked Romona not to come. The hurt in her eyes was the worst thing in the world. The looks the members the she-Wolf pack exchanged are confusing to him and he tries to ignore the worrying knowing glint in their eyes.

So he went to game with Max and Rose instead and felt miserable watching his brother and his future sister in law, holding hands and giggling.

Romona didn't speak to him after that.

Papo comes by and tries to sweep Romona off her feet again. She agrees to one date and Jackosn paces into the houses like a cornered jungle cat.

When Romona comes in, she drags him to her room. She brushed out her hair and sighs.

"He's still the same asshole."

"I could have told you that."

She curls up next to him in her big bed and he feels his heart pound.

"Romona."

She turns to look at him and she gets too close and Jackosn is off the bed and out the door, he will not let his hormones ruin his friendship with his best friend.

He ignored the little voice in his head that sounds a lot like Max that his friendship with Ramona is already ruined.

The next morning Romona announces that she another date with Papo and leaves after breakfast.

He ignored the image of Max in his head saying "I told you so" in favor of looking at Romona with hurt puppy eyes,

She avoids him.

She goes out with Rocky and her new boyfriend Flynn. They head down to Texas to visit their roommate Maya who is with her friends in Texas for two weeks.

Jackson is miserable watching her snapchat stories and her Instagram. She is so happy and beautiful and he ruined everything.


So when she comes back he slips a present under her door.

Two tickets to see a baseball game.

When she comes down for breakfast the next morning, she kisses his cheek and he tries to ignore the butterflies in his stomach. The older She-Wolf pack exchange knowing looks.


The game is scheduled for Friday and Jacosn and Romona spend the week doing a dance.

Max and Rose watch the two with interest. The childhood crush had turned into actual romance for the teenagers and they already knew their future. They were both amused by the two older kids, it was entertainment.

Rocky too was amused especially when Romona asked her for help as to what to wear.


When Jackson saw Romona on Friday he was stunned. She was in a pretty red lace crop top with a pair of dark blue shorts. She had on converse and her long hair was slightly curled. She had a baseball cap and she looked gorgeous that he felt his heart thump and her blood churn.

They sit front and center like they always do.

They order hot dogs and soda and it is like how things used to be, just two friends hanging out.

Then he looks at her smiling and laughing and he can't help but smile.

She finds him staring at her and gives him a look.

"Jackson?"

Her brown eyes are wide, half curious half amused.

Jackson leans forward and kisses her, one hand cupping the back of her head.

Jackson doesn't even realize what he is doing until after its done.

He goes to pull away before Romona pulls him back, kissing him hard.

Finally the both away, both of them needing air.

Jackson rests his forehead against hers.

"I've been wanting to do that since you came back home this summer." He gives her a quick kiss again.

She blushed and pulled her head away only for her to gasp.

Jackson looks up to see the kiss cam focused on them.

Everyone around them is cheering.

They were so wrapped up in each other being, they didn't realize they were accidentally putting on a show.

They laugh and Romona leans over to kiss him quickly and the camera moves on.

Romona reaches over and Jackson takes her hand.

Her small dainty fingers in his larger hand.

They shouldn't fit, but somehow they do.

After that, they spent the summer laughing, kissing and going to baseball games.


So finals week is coming!

I have one project, and four more exams to get through before I can sleep, watch Netflix, write more fanfiction, and look for a job, and get my schedule together for next year.

But I needed a break so here's another update!

Let me know what you think.

Love you Wallflowers!
