Phillips' Sister

Part 15

-Benny's POV-
-the next day-

The boys and I collected enough money to go to the Drugstore and by a ball.

"Give me something to write with." I say. "Here, I got a pencil." Bertram says handing me a pencil. I scoff. "Not a pencil, dude." I say slapping the pencil away. "Here, I got a pen." Smalls says handing me a pen. "Thanks." I say. I began to write very carefully on the ball in cursive. "Baby Ruthie?" Smalls asks. "No, it says Babe Ruth." Squints says. "Yeah, I don't know, Benny Man." Kenny says. "Yeah, yeah, boy, that looks pretty crappy." Yeah-yeah says. "It doesn't matter what it looks like, his moms never gonna know the difference. It's just to buy us some time ya, dorks." Y/n says. I laugh. I've been keeping an eye on her since she fainted. I've been a little worried. She's been off for the past couple of days.

-Scotty's POV-

I ran inside my house. With the ball Benny had "signed." I ran into the trophy room. I put the ball on the stand. I looked at it for a second. "Scotty?" My mom yelled. "In here mom!" I shouted loud enough for my mom to hear me. "Whatcha doing?" My mom asked. "Uh, just looking at Bill's, i-i mean dads baseball." I say stuttering. "You know he doesn't like you to touch his things" She says. "Yeah. I know." I say. "Has he ever told you about that ball?" My mom asks. "No. I-I don't think so." I say. "Babe Ruth signed that ball. He was the greatest baseball player who ever lived." She says. "Your dads father gave it to him. Maybe some day he'll give it to you." She says. I stutter. Oh. Yeah. N-neat." I say stuttering.

-your POV-

I haven't been feeling good these past few days. I've been feeling a little off. Scotty just went to his house to take care of the ball problem. We were all at the sandlot waiting for Smalls. Benny sits next to me. "You okay, n/n?" Benny asks. I didn't answer. I was lost in my thoughts. "N/n??" Benny asks again. "Hm. I'm listening, sorry." I say putting my head down. "What's wrong, love." Benny asks sweetly. "I've just been feeling a little off lately." I say. "Yeah, I've noticed." He says. "Anything on your mind you wanna get off well, off your mind?" Benny asks. "I'm just not getting a a lot of sleep. With everyone fighting. Y'know?" I say looking at him. He puts his hand on my thigh. "No, I guess I don't know what it feels like. My parents and I get along very well." He says. "Oh..." I say. "Hey, how about you come over to my house for the weekend." He offers. "I mean, it would be nice, but I don't wanna get in the way." I say. "You wouldn't, love." He says. Taking his hand off my thigh and putting in on my shoulder. "Oh alright." I say laughing. He kisses me. But on the lips. I smile. Scotty then comes running back.

Stay tuned 😩
