Hello again, as always thanks for reading. After some really good advice I have went back through and did some editing to the 3 chapters that I posted so far. So I'm resubmitting the updated chapters. I'm also working on Ch. 4 and that should be up sometime this morning.

Please continue to review! =)

CHAPTER 2

Spencer was driving across town, following the direction that her phone was giving her. "I can't believe I'm going." She complains out loud. "I don't even like baseball, shit every time I'm around one I get knocked unconscious." She continues. "I don't like crowds, heat, or drunken people." She complains. There are bound to be all three today. Yet she continues to drive, Madison was correct when she said that they haven't hung out in weeks. On the rare occasion that Maddy asked her to do something, Spencer would come up with an excuse not to. She misses her friend and doesn't want to lose her one real friend so she continues to drive.

"This is going to be a long day." She mumbles as she pulls into the park. There is already a parking lot full of people. She drives around looking for a spot to park. Five minutes pass and she is about convinced to just leave and use the excuse of no parking when she sees an open spot. "Damn Damn Damn" she smacks the steering wheel with each damn.

She pulls into the spot, taking a few deep breaths, mentally preparing herself. "Spencer gets a grip. Maddy is here, no one will hurt you." She says giving her a pep talk. She steps out of the car and instantly the heat hits her. "I hope she found a shady spot or I'm out of here." It is an empty threat; once Maddie spots her there will be no leaving.

She pops her truck, grabbing her chair and cooler filled with ice and waters. Every other cooler at the park would be filled with alcohol she made sure to bring her own. She looks at her text from last night to see what diamond Maddy said they were at. She started walking towards diamond four sending a text to Madison letting her know she is there. Almost immediately she receives a response Yay Sitting under the tree.

"Well damn there goes my excuse to leave" she mumbles remembering her empty threat. She gets to diamond four "Great there are trees everywhere"

"Spencer Spencer"

She turns and sees Maddy waving at her. She walks towards her meeting her halfway. Maddy takes the cooler from her giving her a hug with the other arm.

"Thanks" Spencer says.

"No problem, what did you bring?"

"Just waters"

"Of course"

Maddy links her free arm through hers guiding her towards the spot she's watching the game from saying "it's good to see you."

"You too, I've missed you."

"What's not to miss?"

Spencer rolls her eyes and begins setting up her chair as Maddy continues "Although you wouldn't miss me if you didn't keep saying no to hanging out."

"I am sorry I will try to say yes more"

Maddy looks at her like she wants to say something instead she shakes her head "We are cheering for the gals in the blue jersey's" she says

Spencer grabs a bottle of water and sits down to watch the game. She surprised to find that she was having a good time. Listening to Maddy go on and on about her current flame of the month and love of her life. Maddy loves the idea of being in love, but lacks the ability to remain faithful or committed.

"When are you going to settle down with one of your great loves?" She says while laughing.

"Oh I don't know, there are just too many beautiful people in the world"

She laughs and just shakes her head, knowing that by beautiful people Maddy doesn't discriminate male or female. "So is this current flame a guy or girl?"

"Guy." Maddy responds while undressing the chick on third base with her eyes.

"For now" She gets out while laughing. Maddy reaches over and slaps her on the arm.

"So when are you going to start looking for Mr…" she suddenly stops looking at her confused.

"What?"

"I just realized that I don't know if your flame would be a Mr. or Ms." she says turning in her chair to face her.

Spencer suddenly became interested in her water bottle. She has never told anyone of her preference, letting people assume what they wanted. All her one-night-stands happened out of town. She decides to give a vague answer "Well there isn't a flame now." she mumbles out hoping that Maddy will drop it. Of course she didn't.

"I know that, but if there was?"

She answers partly because she feels guilty for not hanging out more and partly because she knows her friend won't judge.

"It would be an Ms."

"I knew it! Let's play I would sleep with her game!"

"I have to use the restroom first. Where is it at?" Maddy gives her directions while scanning the crowd looking for the perfect match for Spencer.

Spencer decides to take the long way back to where Maddy is, hoping she forgets about the pick a bed buddy game. As she is walking, she glances at the team on the field, she is walking past and immediately freezes her eyes landing on the tall brunette playing shortstop. That can't be her "please don't let it be her" she whispers to herself. As if the girl heard Spencer she slowly turns her head, instantly locking eyes with her.

She's completely shocked the second she made eye contact with the short stop everything else vanished. She did not hear the people yelling duck, did not see the baseball flying directly at her. She did however feel the ball smack her in the head "Shit" was all she could say before her world went black.

She felt someone shaking her, a voice from the past saying her name. "No No No this cannot be happening again" She pleaded in her head. Refusing to open her eyes, the memory fills her mind of the first day she saw the girl.

20 years ago: age 7

Spencer sighed as she watched the group of girls taking the field. She had always wanted to play softball, but it would never happen. Mother would never spend money on her when there was alcohol to buy.

She was just about to continue walking home so that she wouldn't be late in fear of the punishment that would come. When she spotted a girl on the field, she could not take her eyes off the girl. Unsure about why the girl captivated her. She had brown hair pulled into a pony tail, was throwing a softball with another girl. The girl looked at her and when their eyes met her world froze. They were the brightest brown eyes that she had ever seen. The brown-eyed girl was yelling something at her but none of her senses seem to work. She remained frozen, until her world went black.

The first thing she became aware of was the throbbing of her head, quickly followed by the feel of someone shaking her and talking. She slowly opened her eyes and saw the bright brown eyes looking at her.

"Hey you okay?"

"Yes, I'm fine" She tried to set up, flinching at the pain. She was finally able to set up, shaking her head trying to clear the fog. "What happened?"

"You were smacked by a ball and knocked unconscious. You really should pay attention."

She stood up aware that she really needed to get home "Well thanks, I need have to go" dusting herself off and starting to walk home.

"Hey wait!" the brown-eyed girl yelled, running to catch up to her "Let me walk with you, to make sure you make it home."

"No that's okay." she walks faster not wanting the brown-eyed girl to know where she lived.

"Well I'm coming anyway. That was a nasty hit you took. My name is Ashley."

Spencer continues to walk as if she didn't hear anything that the girl said, not knowing why this girl made her so nervous.

"Well?" she says bringing her out of her thoughts.

"Well what?"

"What's your name?"

"Spencer"

The rest of the walk was in silence when they reach her house; she went inside without ever looking back.

"Spence, Spence" The voice continues, Spencer slowly starts to open her eyes, immediately looking into the bright brown eyes of the girl she hasn't seen in years. Groaning out loud as the pain in her head makes itself known, she sets up shaking her head trying to clear the fog.

Hearing the other girl giggle she turns to look at her "We have to stop meeting this way." Ashley says with an amused look.
