A few days pass and I ignore Jordan the whole time. I mostly stay in my room. It's around midday and unsurprisingly, I'm in my room. I hear a knock on my door. I don't say anything in case it's Jordan.

"It's just me." It's my mom's voice.

"Come in" I say. She opens the door but doesn't come in.

"I'm really busy with work, do you think you could go to the store to grab a few things?" she asks. I don't really want to but I might as well help mom out.

"Okay" I say getting up from my bed.

"Thank you, there's a list downstairs on the counter with some money next to it" she says before walking off. I'm dressed in joggers and a hoodie, I won't be out long so there's no need for me to change. I go downstairs and grab the money and the list from the counter. There's not too much for me to get. I put my shoes on and head to Vincent's drugstore.

I turn the corner of Vincent's drugstore and see the sandlot boys standing by the entrance. I pause. I consider going back home but my mom will be annoyed if I come home with nothing. I take a deep breath and continue walking. I'm a few feet away when ham notices me.

"Look who it is" he says causing all of them to look over at me. They all start laughing and making jokes with each other. I look up and make eye contact with Benny. He's staring back at me. His face shows little emotion, he's not laughing with all the others. After a few seconds I look back at the ground and quickly make my way into the store. I start looking for the items on the list.

"Y/n." I turn around. It's benny. I look at him confused.

"Are you okay?" He asks "You seem a little off."

I'm not sure how to reply so instead I just sigh. He looks at me with guilt, I don't know why though he hasn't done anything wrong.

"I'm sorry about the others." He says.

"Don't be sorry benny, I don't blame them. I fully deserve it." I admit.

"Y/n is there something your not telling me? What happened came out of nowhere." He says "you can tell me"

"I can't." I say looking at the ground.

"Why not?" He asks eagerly.

"Benny I want to tell you everything but I just can't" I say "I know you deserve an explanation but if I told you then everything would get so much more complicated, not between you and me, but between me and-" I pause unsure if I should say.

"Jordan?" Benny guesses. I slowly nod. He sighs.

"Listen you don't have to tell me now but I would appreciate an explanation at some point" he says. "I think I have an idea of what's going on but I don't want to come to any conclusions"

"I promise I'll tell you, just not now." I say. He nods before leaving the store.

The man passes me my bag of items and I head towards the door. The sandlot boys are still there. They all look over at me walk through the door. I can hear them all make jokes once again. I ignore them and continue walking

"Shut up guys" I hear benny say. All the other boys start disagreeing and arguing with him.
