I throw my phone across the room in frustration over Alexs Instagram post, I know it's not her fault she doesn't know the reasoning behind why I hate talking about my baseball days in high school.

I shouldn't let it still get to me but it does, I buried that part of my life down year's ago when it happened, I don't want to talk about it again.

I'm just lying there on my bed in thought, my mind going to the dark places of my past that aren't good for me mentally at all when I hear a sudden knock on my front door.

I reluctantly leave the spot on my bed and trudge down the hall to see who could be here.

"Alex? Why are you here," I say not expecting to see my girlfriend at the door

"I was worried, I tried calling but you wouldn't answer your phone and I wanted to check if you were okay," She says a clear concerned expression on her face

"Yeah I kind of threw my phone across the room," I say realising I've probably broken it now

"Look I'm sorry if me posting that picture offended you I didn't mean to upset you I just thought it was a good photo," She says. I just let out a high knowing I can't be angry at her

"I just don't like remembering my time playing baseball in high school, it just bright back some bad memories," I tell her

"I had no idea, I'm so sorry babe," Alex says taking my handing hers

"it's not you're fault, no one really knows about it all anyway, I kind of just buried it all down

"if you want to talk about it you know I'm here right" She tells me

"we've got our date tonight I don't want to ruin it" I say thinking about what she will have planned for us

"nonsense, we can stay here and cuddle up in a blanket instead" She says dragging me further into my place

We get ourselves comfier into my bed and I lie my head on Alex's stomach, letting her run her fingers through my hair.

"During highschool and college I was part of a baseball club and it was great at first, I was really good at it, the coach saw real potential in me to be something big." I say thinking back to my past

"Take your time baby" Alex whispers to me.

"we'd just won the title for the 3rd time in a year and coach pulled me aside, I thought he was going to congratulate me but he said that he had made me who I was and that I owed him. I was really confused as to what he meant but then he tried to touch me and I knew he was trying to get on me" I explain letting out a staggered breath.

"I never told anyone after that because I was too scared, no one would believe me anyway, the whole town loved this guy and was just an adopted child. So I quit the team and never spoke of it again" I finish saying

"until know" Alex replies back sadly

"until know, yeah," I say, turning my head to look up at Alex

"I'm so sorry you had to go through that babe, I've had my fair share of creepy coaches but none have ever tried anything, I can't imagine what that must have felt like," She says sympathetically to me

"It happened almost 6 years ago now, I just don't like to think about it much," I tell her, she just does her head in understanding

"come on then, why don't we watch a movie to take your mind of it all" Alex says looking at me questioningly

"I would love to" I reply and shuffle up in the bed so I'm leaning more into Alex.

What did I do to deserve this girl?
