“Have you ever been hit that hard in the nuts?” Jessica asked.

“No.” Michael replied. Jessica and Ashley laughed.

“The ball was going pretty fast Michael, I seriously don’t think you’re gonna be having kids…but you didn’t want to anyway right?” Ashley laughed.

“I don’t know.”

“Well it’s a little late to change your mind.” Ashley chuckled. Michael just lay there curled up on the bench. He was angry about the way the girls thought it was so funny, and he was seriously concerned about his testicles.

“Poor Michael.” Jessica lamented. Giggling with Ashley. Emily came back with a cup of water.

“Here ya go, feeling any better?” Emily asked.

“Not really.”

“Come on, it’s been like ten minutes, you’ve gotta feel better than ten minutes ago.” Emily retorted.

“It’s just burns so bad, I can’t take it…I need to go to the hospital.”

“The hospital?” Emily questioned.


“Yes, I have to go.” Michael insisted. Jessica rolled her eyes, Ashley was quietly laughing to herself.

“Come on Michael, we just got here, and this is the last day of the fair.” Emily whined.

“Well, you guys don’t have to come with me.”

“Yeah, but how are we gonna get home?” Emily asked.

“I can come get you when I’m done.”

“No, I don’t wanna be stuck here, what if we wanna leave? Who knows how long you’ll be gone if you go to the hospital.” Ashley whined. “Just stay here with us, you’ll be fine.”

“Yeah, of course it hurts right now, you just got hit with a ninety mile per hour baseball. You’re just lucky it didn’t hit bone, that would’ve really hurt.” Emily reasoned.

“This REALLY hurts.”

“We get it Michael, it hurts, so get over it. You don’t have to do anything, just walk around with us.” Ashley said. Michael was fuming with anger, he was really worried, but they were making it difficult for him to just leave.

“Fine, we can stay here a little longer, but not til ten at night like we planned.”

“Not til ten, but we just got here, we’ve gotta stay here at least til 8.” Ashley demanded.

“That’s like nine hours from now!” Michael exclaimed.

“Better than 11, right?” Emily pointed out.

“Yeah, we’re compromising for you, because you’re being a baby about your nuts.” Ashley explained.

“What the fuck Ashley? You saw what happened!”

“Yes, it was hilarious.” Ashley replied, the girls all laughed.

“Jesus, you have no idea how much it hurts, but whatever, I’ll bear it so you can have fun at the fair.”

“K whatever” Ashley rolled her eyes.

They walked around the fair a bit checking out the lay of the land.

They all got in line to buy tickets and Emily started going through her purse. “Crap! I left my wallet at home”

“I have like five bucks.” Ashley announced.

“I have ten.” Jessica added. The three girls all gave a puppy dog eye smile to Michael.

“What? I only have like 20 bucks.”

“Shit, well we need much more than 35 bucks to spend the day here. Do you have a debit card?” Emily asked.

“Yeah, but I wasn’t planning on spending much money here.”

“Well, how about this? You take out 200 dollars, and I’ll pay you 100 dollars back when we get home?” Emily suggested.

“200? We don’t need that much do we?…this is frustrating, I don’t even wanna be here really.”

“Oh gosh, come on! Stop whining.” Ashley scolded. “Fine, I’ll pay you the other hundred when I get back to New York and get my check.” Michael was stressed. He felt sick from the pain that was still agonizing and burning. He felt weakened and tired from it. He could feel that his testicles were swelling up.

“Ok, whatever, but you guys HAVE to pay me back.”

“We promise” Ashley spoke for both of them. Michael reluctantly withdrew the 200 dollars from the atm. His main concern was getting to the hospital to make sure his testicles were ok. The pain was sickening, but he was hoping the girls were right, and that he would be ok. Either way, he really wanted to leave the fair. Ashley and Emily stood there waiting for him to give them the money. Michael just gave them the one hundred dollars each.

“There ya go.”

“Thank you” Emily replied.
