                           AUSTINS POV:
  i'm on one of the biggest hot streaks of my life. my life seems to be going great. the one thing that isn't going perfectly is my relationships with people. i miss my girlfriend a lot. and when i say a lot, i mean a lot. she lives in north carolina, so we rarely get to see each other in person. because all we do is facetime, i feel the most distant i ever have from people. i really hope fans at the games cant tell that though. i just want to be able to show out for my fans. i try to remind myself that there are kids that want to be where i am, and that not many people get to the MLB. it's rare. it's difficult. and, i'm not going to hit a homer every at bat. 
Y/NS POV: 
  i'm surprising my boyfriend, austin riley, after his game tonight. he's been down in the dumps for the past few weeks. i hope this will spark some excitement in him. he seems really sad and i hate to see him, or anyone sad. but, especially him. it hurts me. i hope whatever's going on will stop and he can play the game like he knows how to.

  the braves showed up and out. they won 14-3 against the nationals. not that it was very nerve racking. i went down to the tunnel where the family and friends could meet after the game. i didn't really expect him to come through that way, but he did and he looked sad. "hey, hon! i missed you so much." i exclaimed as i jumped on him for a hug. 
  "oh baby, i haven't seen you in so long. every time i see you i think to myself, 'wow, i'm livin' the dream!'" he said hugging me right back. "i missed you so much! i wish you lived closer. you could come to even more games!" 
  "you're on a huge hot streak, austin! you most certainly are livin' the dream!" i complimented him. 
  "anyway, let's not talk baseball right now. i wanna take you out. how's that sound?" he asked me, mostly telling. 
  "okay, that sounds fun! i just don't want to stay out super late." 
  "alright princess."

  austin and i got home around 2 AM. i guess that's not late for him. "austin, honey! i need you to hurry up and get in here, or i'll go to sleep without you." i joked with him.
  "oh no! i'll be so fast." he joked back.
  "bruh, shut up. no one likes you, riley. get in here." i rushed him. he came into the bedroom fairly quickly. we laid in bed for a while. both, just sitting there. i turned on my side to face him. "you know how you said you were livin' the dream, earlier? it sure feels like it now." i put my head to rest on his chest. i felt him laugh under me as we drifted to sleep.
