I have a small laugh. That's true. I just don't like the idea of him no longer being around. I think Noah felt the same way, but wanted to show the tough kid act.

We both fell asleep, not knowing when Zeke would come back from the beach farewell party.

The next morning, I decided I couldn't wait for him to leave for college. He may have come back late, but that didn't stop him from waking us up early for a jog and some light weights. I was jealous that the twins got to go take a nap after breakfast whereas we had to go to our softball game.

Luckily, it was another old people team. We got to have a fun, relaxing game with our team. Alisha was horrified after finding out that we worked out before the game while Andy looked a little jealous. KJ and Kaylee spent a lot of the time talking about softball pitching and it sounded like Kaylee wanted to learn from KJ. Slightly strange since her sister is such a phenomenal pitcher.

After easily beating the old folks, we separated from the team to hurry home. We rushed to take showers and put on our A's gear. The twins waited impatiently by the door, itching to hit the road.

”I wonder where we'll sit in tonight's game.” Dave mused when we finally packed up the car and Zeke started to drive to the highway. ”Hopefully it's all you can eat seats again.”

”I can just text Rose so we get free food.” Noah volunteered. That's right...he had her number.

”What? Why do you have her number?” Kyle asked, confused.

Since he was gone on a camping trip, Noah had to give a small recap on how everything went down.

”I wonder if she'll end up being Jake's sister-in-law?” Kyle mused. ”Would that make her our sister-in-law? How does it work with adopted siblings? Do I just call Jeremy my brother's brother?”

Noah shrugged. ”That's what Jeremy did. He called Zeke his brother's brother. It works.”

”Ah! It's such a strange feeling to know a real pro.” Dave stated. ”I wonder if we can meet some of the other players today since we're going to arrive early.”

”On the field passes.” I told him.

”Jake, your brother has really opened my eyes.” He sighed.

I turned red, unsure of what to say.

At the stadium, it was already late afternoon, two hours before game time. We followed the same pattern of going to the will-call window and got the tickets. As soon as we entered, Rose was there to greet us.
