Called Up

by Bella Rayne

He ain't no bat boy!

Sarah

 

Jonas was my first crush. He was totally gorgeous, totally amazing at playing baseball, and totally off limits. He’s the older brother of my best friend Hannah. I lusted after him all through high school but I was always too afraid to speak up. Then, on the night of graduation, we had an intimate encounter that would change the rest of my life.

 

Now he’s back in town for Hannah’s wedding, and I have no idea how to act around him. Jonas thought I was destined for Julliard. He never would have expected to find me still hanging around little Homer, Indiana. But that’s where I stayed, and that’s where my life is now.

 

The first time I saw him again, I was so nervous that I thought I was going to be sick. After all, Jonas used to be a big sweetie. But fame changes people, and I didn’t know if he’d turned into a real jerk. I was prepared for the worst.

 

Almost to my dismay, Jonas wasn’t a jerk. He was just as sweet, sexy, and confident as ever. I could tell that he’d really grown up.

 

But was he grown up enough to want a real relationship? With me? Little Sarah Mason, shy girl from a nobody town? And furthermore, I’d kept a pretty major secret from Jonas for all these years. When he discovers the truth, will he hate me for life?

 

 

Jonas

 

Playing baseball was all I ever wanted in life. A good party, some cute girls, and an open diamond: that was my vision of heaven.

 

Everything changed when I met Sarah. She was the perfect girl: down-to-earth, adorable, and whip smart. But she was my little sister’s best friend, and I knew that Hannah would kill me if I so much as laid a finger on Sarah.

 

I slipped up the night of Sarah’s high school graduation, but it was the best mistake I’d ever made in my life. I was heartbroken when she told me that she couldn’t be involved with me because of Hannah.

 

But I never forgot about her. Even though I play for the Detroit Tigers now, everyone has to go home sometimes. And that’s when I bumped into Sarah: still living in Indiana, plans of Julliard swept under the rug.

 

I still want her more than anything else in the world, but now she won’t even give me the time of day. And she’s so secretive, so private about her personal life that I just know she’s hiding something big from me.

 

Will I ever be able to tell her how much I love her? And will she listen this time, or will she just brush me off and crush my heart once again?
