"Yeah. Let's go somewhere more private." He replied while walking past everyone and into the only bedroom that was in the basement near us. I quietly followed behind him. People were giving us skeptical looks left and right. I tried to ignore it by looking at the ground. I walked in the room and noticed Jordan was already sitting on the bed. I went over and sat by him. Looking at him, I realized the truth. No matter what, I really loved Jordan. I finally decided to say something. "What's going on between us Jordan?" "I really don't know." We sat there again in silence, neither of us knowing what to say. Suddenly he spoke up. "Honestly Rae, I think you need to go back to Florida and we should see other people. This, just isn't working and I can't deal with it or you anymore." I looked away from him. I couldn't believe he just said that. I mean, I wasn't expecting everything to go right back to the way it was but, I thought eventually we would get back together. I sat there holding back the tears that tried to force their way out. I wasn't going to let him see me cry. I got up without saying anything and walked away. "Rae.." Jordan said right before I left the room. I ignored him and kept walking. I ran past everyone and went upstairs ignoring the people calling my name behind me. I slipped on my shoes, got in my car and went straight to Eleigh's to get my things. I messily packed everything up and got back in my car. The next thing I know I was at the airport booking the next flight for Florida. I didn't care that I was leaving Sean there, I'm sure him and Jordan will get on just fine without me. About an hour later a lady came over the loud speaker announcing it was time to board the flight. The lady checking my ticket gave me a smile that I couldn't return. I silently went to my seat and sat down. Resting my head on the back of the chair, I finally let the tears fall. Throughout the plane ride I continuously ignored the phone calls I was getting. Not even checking who was calling, I would click ignore. I didn't want to talk to anyone. I just needed to be on my own. It was very late when I arrived home considering I boarded the plane around 12:00 o clock. I was lucky there was a flight still going out at that time. I walked in to my empty house and right up to my room. I crawled into bed and for the first time in years cried myself to sleep. The next morning I woke up, turned on the TV, and just stayed in bed. The constant vibrating of my phone was getting on my nerves so I just turned the damn thing off. Even though I was watching TV I wasn't paying attention to what was going on. Nothing seemed to matter to me. Hunger, thirst, and things like going to the bathroom never seemed to phase me. Next thing I know it was dark outside again and I drifted off to a tired less sleep. The next few days went on like that. Suddenly the hunger overtook me and I went downstairs to get something to eat. I grabbed some cereal and went back upstairs. I decided I should at least check my phone and let everyone know I'm still living. I turned on my phone and realized I had like a million calls, texts, and/or voice mails. All consisting of people including; Eleigh, Sidney, Sean, Max, My Dad, and last but not least.....Jordan. I stopped and stared at his name for a second. I couldn't believe he had the nerve to try and talk to me. I went back to Eleigh's name and texted her back. 'I'm fine, don't worry about me.' I went through all the other texts and calls and deleted them. Eleigh was the only one I felt necessary to talk to considering she would probably tell everyone else I'm okay. She quickly replied, just like I was expecting.
'Oh my God, don't ever scare us like that again. What the fuck were you thinking? Where are you?'
I replied back; 'Sorry, don't worry about me or where I am. I'm okay.'
I didn't want her knowing I was back at home because knowing her she would come down here and see me. Which seeing people was the last thing I wanted right now. My phone vibrated again, I was expecting it to be from Eleigh so I quickly opened it. I was wrong.
'Rae, Seriously where are you? -Jordan'
I just didn't understand what the hell he wanted from me and why he kept trying to get ahold of me. You think by now he would get it that I didn't want to talk to him or see him.
'You honestly think of all people I would tell you where I am right now?'
My phone vibrated as Jordan replied.
'Even though we aren't together anymore I still care about you Rae.'
I read the text over and over again while tears began to cloud my vision. As I shut my phone I put my head down and yet again fell asleep. The only way I could forget everything.

Everyone noticed that it landed on me, they all looked at each other unsure of what was going to happen. I looked at Jordan who once again had the stupid smirk on his face. I got up and so did he. We stood there for a second just staring at each other. If it had been anyone else the guys would have yelled something along the lines of 'hurry the fuck up' or 'get it over with already' but, they all knew the circumstance and were watching intently for our next move. We moved closer to each other until I could feel his hot breath on my face. His eyes were fixed on mine, filled with lust. I'm sure mine looked the same. Slowly he wrapped his arms around my waist, my arms linked loosely around his neck, both of us unsure. Neither of us wanted to wait anymore. His lips came down onto mine. The kiss getting more vigorous as the time went by. My hands found there way through his hair, my arms linking tighter around his neck. His hands moving from my waist to the small of my back, pulling me closer as he did so. Soon his hands found there way down to my ass. I let my hands roam along his arms and chest, feeling his muscles tense up as I did. Forcefully I felt myself being pushed up against a wall. I could hear the 'gasps' of some people around us, not expecting this at all. His hands cupped under my upper thigh pulling me up against the wall. "Okay WOW! enough is enough. I do not want to see you two fucking the shit out of each other in front of me, and I'm sure I am not the only one. I mean it was just an innocent game of 'spin the bottle'. Leave it up to you two to turn it into some goddamn porno!" Max joked. I could feel the blood rushing to my cheeks. Jordan and I looked at each other and he set me down. As we both walked over to sit back down, Malone and Colby both whistled. "I don't think anyone can beat that one for tonight." Marc-Andre said. "Yeah, I think we need to officially call it quits for this game." Sid replied. Kris Letang leaned over. "What the hell was that?" He whispered in my ear. "Good question." "You guys just can't keep away from each other." "I guess you could say that." I replied. People started getting up one by one and busying themselves with other things. I just got up and sat on the couch. I could tell that people were whispering and discussing what just went on between Jordan and I. I looked around the room and noticed Jordan was quietly talking to Sidney in the corner by the bar. Eleigh was with them but, she caught my eye and came over to sit with me. "Wow Rae. That was, a bit unexpected." "Your telling me." "You guys are the weirdest couple, I swear to God." "haha I know right, leave it up to me." "So what exactly does this mean for you two?" "psh the hell if I know." "Well are you going to talk to him?" "I mean I suppose I should but, it seems a tad bit awkward." I took a quick glance at Jordan and I caught him staring at me. "Oh come on, you have to talk to him." "ehh I don't know." "I wasn't asking, now get your ass over there before that blonde bitch sticks her tongue down your mans throat again." She pushed me up off the couch. "Your a bitch you know that?" I joked with her. She just smiled at me. I reluctantly walked over to Jordan. Sid noticed me coming so he realized that was his cue to leave. I stood in front of Jordan, we just stared at each other. I could feel that every one's eyes in the room were on us. I decided to speak up first, I couldn't stand the tension. "Jordan? Can we....uhhh....talk?"

My throbbing headache wasn't much help the next morning. I opened my eyes only to quickly shut them closed and pull my covers over my head. After what felt like five minutes I got up and went to the bathroom. I glanced in the mirror and noticed how terrible I looked. I decided I needed a shower. When I got out I wrapped a towel around me and went out of them room. I wasn't surprised when I saw Jordan sleeping on the couch. I walked right past him and went into the kitchen to get a water bottle. I then proceeded to go into the bathroom and get a couple of aspirins, I needed something to make this hangover go away. I went back into Jordan's room and started to pack up my things. I wanted to get away before Jordan woke up and luckily I did. I sat in my car, staring ahead thinking of where to go. I decided to call Eleigh. 'ring,ring,ring' "Hello?" "Rae?" "uh yeah, Hey." "What's up? Is everything alright?" "Considering Jordan and I aren't on the greatest terms, I don't really have anywhere to stay and well....-" "Would you like to stay with me?" She asked. "Well, yes actually that would be quite nice." "haha alright come by whenever." "okay I'm on my way."


I got myself settled in at Eleigh's and we were watching TV on her couch when Sid walked. Eleigh welcomed him with a hug at the door. They came back over to the couch hand in hand and sat down next to me. "Hey Rae." Sid said. "Hey." Eleigh snuggled up next to him. Ugh who I was I kidding, watching them together drived me insane. I couldn't stand watching them be all over each other. I got up and decided I would try to take a nap, or something. "Hey Rae, where are you going?" Eleigh asked. "Uh I'm tired, I'm just going to go lie down." "Alright." I went into the guest room, where I was temporally staying and started unpacking my things. After everything was unpacked I noticed I couldn't find my purse. 'Shit' I thought to myself. I left it at Jordan's. I quickly slipped on my Uggs and left for Jordan's. "Rae, Where are you going?" Sid asked before I could slid out the door. "I left something at Jordan's and I have to go get. Wish me luck." Before he could reply I shut the door and hurried out to my car. I wanted to get this over with. Seeing Jordan and having to talk to him was not something I was too thrilled about. I arrived at his apartment and reluctantly dragged myself up the stairs. 'Knock,Knock' The sound of my fist against his door echoed throughout the empty hallway and made me even more nervous to see him. He opened the door and a smirk crept along his face. "Forget something?" He asked with a cocky edge to his voice. He knew that I hated having to come here and see him. "Yeah, actually." I replied. "Well, come on in." He smiled and motioned for me to enter. "So..What's up." He asked. I could tell he was trying to piss me off by acting like nothing happened. "I didn't come here to talk to you, nor do I want to. I just want to get my purse so I can leave." "Someones a bit touchy today, eh?" I ignored him. "Alright, follow me I'll help you get your purse or whatever." I followed him into his TV area only to be shocked by who I saw. "Sean what the hell are you doing here?" "What? You said he was a cool guy, so I thought I would hang out with him." Jordan added in. He was really starting to piss me off. "Jor can I talk you alone?" "Of course babe." He winked at me. Even though he was pissing me off, I had to admit that part of me thought it was cute. Considering the fact he looked fucking hot also added on to that. I started walking into his room and he followed. "Oh so this is what your after, taking me into the bedroom." He teased. "Trust me, if that was what I was after I wouldn't be coming here." "oh ouch." "Can you just give me my purse?" "Oh I'm not quite sure if I know where it is." I knew he was lying. "Honestly what do you want from me?" "Oh you know what I want from you." He ran his hand along my thigh. "Yeah well that makes one of us." As much as I hated to admit it, that was a huge lie. I wanted him and he knew it. He slowly walked closer to me. "Don't kid yourself." "Shut the fuck up." I replied. I had enough of his stupid games. Even though deep inside I was enjoying it. "Oh I like it when your mad." I soon felt the wall against my back. I then realized as Jordan was inching closer to me, I was backing up. Until I couldn't anymore. I was trapped. "Jordan stop being an asshole and just give me my purse." He leaned in, his hot breath against my ear. "Fine, If that's the way you want it." He walked into his closet and came out with it. "Here." He handed it to me. I turned around and started to walk out. Before I left I looked at Sean. "Oh and if you are going to be hanging out with him while you are up here, I don't want to have anything to do with you." I turned around and left without looking back. I drove back to Eleigh's and went straight to my room. I didn't really feel like talking to anyone. All I could think about was Jordan and that's just the way he wanted it.

I must have drifted off to sleep because the next thing I know I was being woke up by my cell phone going off, signaling I had a text message. It was from Max Talbot. It said; 'Party at my house tonight, come over.' I wasn't really sure if I wanted to go. I knew Jordan would be there. Yet in the end I decided to go. I wasn't going to let him ruin my time while I was up here.

I hit reply. 'I'll definitely be there ;]'

I crawled out of bed and hopped in the shower. I needed to look good tonight, especially if Jordan was going. I decided to wear tight dark skinny jeans that made my ass look good, a low cut white tank top with a light blue unbuttoned sweater over it. I straightened my hair and applied some makeup. Slid on my black high heels and headed out the door. Sid and Eleigh were already there before I had even left. I suppose you could say I was being fashionably late. I parked on the street, considering Max's driveway was already packed with cars. I knocked on the door and waited. Max opened the door. "Well damnnnnnnnn Rae. You look good." "Haha thanks, I gave him a hug and walked in. "Everyone is downstairs, let's go." Max grabbed my hand and led me to the basement. I look around and pretty much the whole team was there.........including Jordan. I walked over to Colby who was pouring drinks. "Here you go Rae." "Thanks." Through out the night everyone drank huge amounts of alcohol. I soon found myself in the midst of a game of 'spin the bottle'. It was Jordan's turn and it landed on some blonde girl I've never seen before. He smirked at me before sticking his tongue down her throat. A kiss that lasted a little to long for my liking. Finally it was my turn. I spun it and it landed on none other than Max. I got up and walked towards him. At first it started as an innocent kiss but then he placed his hand on my lower back pulling my closer to him. My hands found there way around his neck also pulling him closer to me. I wasn't really paying attention to how long that was going on for but we were interrupted. "Okay you two, enough already." Marc-Andre said. I blushed and pulled away. I looked at Jordan and smiled before I sat back down. Two can play at this. The game was pretty tame after that. I got a kiss from Kris, Colby and Marc but, nothing to the extent of Max's. I wasn't really paying much attention until I realized it was Jordan's turn again and......it landed on me.

I walked back up to Jordan's apartment. "Hey babe is there a problem with Sean or something?" I asked as I sat down next to him on the couch. "uh...not really." He answered hesitantly. "Not really?" "Yeah, just forget it. Let's just go out to get something to eat." "Uh alright." "I'll invite a bunch the team since you haven't seen any of them in forever." I nodded my head and smiled as he got up and went to grab his cell phone. "Oh and can you make sure that Sid brings Eleigh?" I asked. I hadn't talked to her in forever. "Will do." He walked into his bedroom while dialing a phone number. I needed to get ready so I went into Jordan's bathroom and got in the shower. After a couple minutes I heard the shower door sliding open. "Yes?" I asked. He stared at me for a minute. "Jordan?" "Oh uh yeah. Just wanted to let you know that pretty much everyone is coming. The only ones that are not are the unimportant ones we never really hung out with." "....and you couldn't of waited to tell me until I got out of the shower?" "eh no, I prefer this view anyways." I rolled my eyes and shut the shower door. "You love me, don't try and deny it." He said while still standing there. "Yeah you keep telling yourself that." I joked. He once again opened the shower door. "You love me, just admit it." "If I admit it will you let me finish my shower?" "ah maybe." "Jordan, we are gonna be late." "Hey it's not my fault." "Okay fine I love you." "I know, how could you not." I took the head of the shower and pointed it at him. "Uncalled for!" He yelled. "tehe. What are you gonna do about it?" I teased. "This." He got in the shower with his clothes still on. "Jor--" I was cut off by him kissing me. After I was out of breath I decided we really needed to get going. "Jordan we are going to be late and I hate being late." "Hey, you brought this on yourself." He said while taking off his soaking wet clothes and throwing them out of the shower. "What so you are punishing me now?" "You could call it that." He said while winking at me. "ugh the things I have to put up with." I said while pulling myself closer to him. I let my hands roam around his upper thighs while I left a trail of kisses down his neck and stomach. When I reached down by his cock I did what I knew he wanted. When he had had enough of that he pulled me back up, shoved me against the wall and pushed into me. Once we had finished our task at hand we both got out and started to get dressed. I went over to my suitcase and dumped it out on his bed. I had no time to be neat. I searched through my clothes until I found something to wear. I decided on a short, red plaid, pleated school girl skirt and a black sweater from Hollister. I finished off the outfit with black knee socks and my UGGs. I settled on leaving my hair curly and wearing my favorite diamond necklace and earrings. Once I had finished my makeup I walked out and over to Jordan. "Well damn." He commented. "Let's go."We are already insanely late because of you. "You wanted it." "I never denied that but, that still makes it your fault." We jokingly argued about the topic until we arrived at the restaurant. It was a nice Italian place that we used to always go to with the team before I had moved so I found it appropriate to go there again. We walked in and up to the lady at the front. "Hello Mr. Staal I'll show you to your table." As we were being shown to our table Jordan put his hand on the small of my back and walked closer to me. "Are you ready?" He whispered in my ear. "Not at all." I replied. To be honest I was extremely nervous to see everyone again. I had no idea what their thoughts of me were. Considering they were all on Jordan's side during our whole fight. Who knows what he had told them. As I looked at the table it was just as I suspected, everyone was already there. I looked at the time on my cell phone real quick. We were an hour late. "FINALLY." Max yelled. As he said that, everyone turned and looked at us. Which made me even more nervous. "Damn, what were you guys getting it on before you left or something?" Colby asked. I could feel my cheeks getting red. Neither I or Jordan said anything, we just looked at each other. "EW they were!" Max said. "Anyways..." Jordan said. I walked over to Eleigh. "Rae! It's been too long." She exclaimed while getting up and hugging me. "I know I have missed you so much." "Same here, we need to hang out while you are up here. You have a lot to tell me about everything." "Oh I know and same for you. I see you and Sid are still together." "Yes we are." She said while kissing him on the cheek. I walked around the table saying 'Hi' to everyone and giving them hugs. Colby and Malone were there for some reason. I guessed probably because it was around Thanksgiving so they had time off. After finally getting around the whole table I went and sat next to Jordan. He put his hand on my thigh and leaned over to whisper in my ear. "You did good." I replied by smiling at him and kissing him on the cheek. "Okay you two. You can hold off for a few hours, I hope." Colby said. "I wouldn't be too sure with her." Eleigh added. "Ha Ha very funny you guys." I replied.

Throughout dinner we talked about pretty much everything. I was the main topic of the evening, of course. I told everyone about my life in Florida and all that good stuff. It seems like every time I meet people now a days all they want to talk about is my life. It was around 11:30 when I felt my phone vibrating in my pocket. I looked at the caller ID. It was Sean. 'Shit' I thought to myself. I didn't even think about inviting him to dinner with us. "Hey Sean." I said while answering the phone. "Hey Rae, I just wanted to let you know I am all settled in my hotel and everything." "OOO Who is Sean?" Fleury asked. I ignored it but, Jordan replied for me anyways. "Some guy she brought up from Florida." "Jord I'd keep an eye on her if I were you." Malone added in. "Oh trust me, I know." He replied. "Excuse me Jordan? What is that supposed to mean?" I exclaimed. "Nothing, just get back to your phone call with your new best friend." He snapped. "WOW Jordan what is your problem with Sean?" "Rae, just leave it alone." "Rae?" I heard on the other end of the phone. "Oh yeah, sorry Sean. Can I call you back?" "Uh...Yeah no problem." I hung up the phone and put it in my purse. "No, I will not leave it alone. I bring a friend up to meet you and all you can do is act like an ass." "Rae, I told you I'm not dealing with this or you right now." He said under his breath. I could tell he didn't want to make a scene in front of everyone. "Will you excuse us for a minute." I said to everyone while grabbing Jordan's arm and pulling him with me. I took him outside so we could talk. "Jordan what is wrong with you?" "Oh don't give me that." "Give you what?" "I see the way the Sean guy acts around you." "We are just friends Jordan." "Hah don't make me laugh, you being just friends with a guy? I'll believe that when pigs fly. You practically fuck every guy you meet." I brought my hand up and slapped him across the face as hard as I could. "I don't know what the fuck your problem is Jordan but, I haven't done anything with Sean." "Oh stop with the bullshit." "No Jordan. You stop. Stop with your fucking high school drama. Once you grow a pair and stop acting like such a jealous pussy, get back to me." I walked back into the restaurant and sat down. I wasn't going to let him ruin my night. "Woah looked like things got a little heated out there." Sidney added. I ignored him. "Is everything alright Rae?" Eleigh asked me. "Not really but I'm here to have fun with you guys. Let's go to the club." "Now that's what I'm talking about!" Max said while getting up. "Club?" Malkin asked. "Yes, the club." I answer. "Woohoo I love club!" I laughed. Malkin could always make me smile with his bad English and stupid remarks.

We all went to the club. Yes, even Jordan. I didn't talk to him all night though. We all got pretty drunk. Around 4:00 in the morning I had Malone drive me back to Jordan's. Thank God he wasn't home yet. I put on some sweatpants and a tank top and got into his bed. He could sleep on the couch tonight, Hell he could sleep outside in the snow for all I cared.

The next week went by rather slowly. I felt somewhat lonely with Jordan not there. It was Wednesday afternoon when I walked down into the kitchen and found my mom talking with a man, his back towards me. He turned around and I was shocked at who I saw. The guy I met at the airport. Sean? I think his name was. "Good Afternoon Rae." My mom said to me. "This is Sean, I hired him to help with ideas for our backyard and all the landscaping." She looked over at Sean. "Sean, this is my daughter Rae, she just came to live with me a few weeks ago." "Yes, I believe we have already met." "Oh?" My mom replied. "Yeah I met him at the airport on Sunday." I added. "What a small world we live in huh?" She said. "Yeah I suppose." "Well, I have to go meet up with someone for business, so I will talk to you guys later. Sean if you need anything just ask Rae." "Alright, will do." My mom then walked up to me and hugged me. "Bye darling." "Bye mom." She slid on her shoes and left. I highly doubted she was going to meet up with someone for the type of business she was referring to, I knew exactly what she was doing. I suppose it was nice of her to try and hide it from me and do it in a polite manner though. "So we meet again." Sean said, interrupting my thoughts. "Yes, we do." "Shall we start our conversation off to where we left it last time?" He asked. "Nice try but, I still don't know you well enough. In time though." "You are a tough one." "What can I say?" "Considering it's my break and I'm hungry how about I take you to get a bite to eat? Then maybe you'll let me in on this mysterious life of yours." "Hmmm, I suppose I could pencil you in." "Alrighty then let's go." He then took me to a near by restaurant that had pretty basic food. I finally gave in and told him about everything my life had to offer, including my dad and Blaine, and why I moved to Detroit and now Florida. After that all he could say was 'wow.' I didn't really care though, most people didn't know how to respond when I told them about how messed up it is, I was used to it.



3 months later;

Things between Jordan and I were still going pretty strong. He visited me as often as he could and I was really starting to like living in Florida. Sean and I continued to hang out on his breaks everyday which eventually led to us hanging out on the weekends. You could say he became one of my best friends. I started going to a college that was near by so I could get a job working with Sports Medicine. I already had the basic knowledge for a trainer but, I wanted more. In a couple of days I was going to go visit Pittsburgh for the first time in a long, long time. I decided that I wanted to bring Sean with me so he could meet all my friends up there. Jordan didn't know I was coming, I wanted to surprise him.



Sean and I were on our flight to Pittsburgh and he seemed pretty excited. "You seem more excited than I am." I said to him. "Yeah well I like traveling to knew places." We finally touched down, got our luggage and grabbed a taxi. The taxi eventually pulled up to Jordan's apartment. I texted him to come and open his door. "Babe!" He said while pulling me in a hug and then kissing me. "Hey, I thought I would surprise you and come up here. It has been so long." "Ah I'm so glad you are here." He replied. Then he noticed Sean. ".....and you brought a friend I'm guessing?" He didn't look entirely happy about this. "Yeah this is Sean, I met him at the airport after you boarded your plane, back when you first came to visit me. He's one of my really good friends down in Florida." Sean smiled at Jordan. "Nice to finally meet you, she talks about you all the time." He said to Jordan while sticking out his hand. Jordan reluctantly shook it. "Uh.....yeah nice to meet you too." He said back, unconvincingly. "Well, come in." Jordan said. "So are you staying with me?" "I would but, I don't want to leave Sean at a hotel by himself in a city he doesn't know." "Oh Rae, don't worry about it. I will be fine. If you want to stay with him, I'll go to a hotel." Sean said. "No Sean I don't want to have to make you do it." "Rae, he is a grown man." Jordan added. I could tell he didn't want me staying in a hotel with him. "Yeah It is completely fine with me, like I said before." "Hmm...well you won't get mad will you?" I asked. "No, I promise. Just don't forget about me." He joked. "Well uh okay. I suppose. Don't worry I'll call you to check up on you and so we can hang out. I'll come down and tell the taxi where to take you, there is a hotel just down the street." I walked him down to his car. "I don't think your boyfriend likes me very much." He said once he opened the door to the taxi. "Oh don't mind him, he's just jealous." "Okay whatever you say, I just don't want to get you in trouble with him." "You won't and if he has a problem with it then I don't really care. He'll get over it." "Alright I'll talk to you later." He wrapped me in a hug before getting in the cab. "Call me once your settled in your room." I told him. He nodded, closed the door and off he went.

Tuesday went by pretty slowly. My mom finally came home and said hi, just to leave again. I didn't mind much though, I had the whole house to myself most of the time. She was always with her new boyfriend, Mike. Which was kind of weird considering her and my dad were still "technically" married but, whatever.





It was Wednesday morning. I suddenly felt someones arms around me which brought me out of my sleep. At first I thought it was just a dream so I ignored it. Then I felt someones warm breath on my neck. "Good morning." They said. The voice sounded familiar but, I was still incoherent from sleep. I rolled over and there I saw him. "What are you doing here?" I said confused. "I wanted to surprise you so I came down earlier." Jordan said. I didn't really know what to say so I just wrapped my arms around him and pulled him closer to me. I couldn't actually believe he was here. Even though I hadn't been away from him that long it sure did feel like it. "Awh I love you babe, thanks for coming down." I said to him. "I love you too." He said while kissing me. "So how long until you leave me?" "Rae, I live in another state. You make it seem like I'm going to die or something." "Psh, you never know these days Jordan." I joked. "Hah right." "You still didn't answer my question." I continued. "Well lucky for you I don't have a game until Tuesday. So coach let me come but, I have to practice at the nearest rink while I am down here and I have to leave on Sunday so I can be there for practice early morning on Monday." "Yey." "Well considering I am really hungry and plane food is always nasty. Let's go get some grub?" He asked while smiling. Even though I would have rather just laid there in bed with him and not got up, I knew I wasn't going to win this one. "ugh if we must." "I need to be returned healthy and ready to kick some ass on Monday. You wouldn't want to be the reason that got in my way of that now would you?" "Oh shut up Jordan, just give me time to get up." "hmm, I'd rather not waste time." With that he scooped me up in his arms and picked me up off the bed. "Jordan! Put me down." "Nope." He walked me into my bathroom and turned on the shower. "I can do this on my own you know." "Oh but I'd much rather watch, or help." I felt the water and waited until it got warm. Then I slipped off my clothes and hopped in. "....well, are you coming in?" I asked Jordan. "Hmm, I suppose I could." He said while stripping. Well anyways, I don't need to go into detail about what happened next. So we went to a little diner we found after driving around for a little while. Considering I just moved there I didn't have a good sense of direction yet.

The rest of the week went by pretty fast. We spent our time visiting around the city and just hanging out. Somewhat catching up with each other because the last time we were together was pretty hectic. It was nice to just relax and be calm around him. We didn't have to worry about anything. Soon Sunday came around and it was time for him to leave. We were at the airport and he was about to board his plane. He set his bags down and wrapped his arms around my waist. I brought myself closer to him and laid my head on his chest. We just stood there like that for a few minutes until a lady came over the speaker and said it was time to board the plane. Jordan didn't move. "Jor you have to go, you don't want to miss your flight." "Ugh, I know. I don't want to though." "I'll visit you soon, I promise." "You better." "Alright. Bye baby. I love you." He leaned down to kiss me and lingered there while his hands ran along my lower back. "ah Jordan you need to leave. It's just making it worse and if this keeps going the way it is you will be missing your flight." "Hmm well I kind of like the sound of that." "Get on the plane." I ordered. "Love you babe." I went up on my tip toes and kissed him one last time. "I'll call you when I land. Bye." He reluctantly grabbed his bags and slowly walked onto the plane. I let out a loud sigh and just stood there for a few minutes. I eventually turned around and started walking away. I guess I wasn't really paying attention because I ran into to someone. I looked up at a tall, dark haired guy. "Oh wow, I'm sorry. I guess I wasn't paying attention." I blurted out. "Oh don't worry about it." I walked away and then waited for the bus that would bring me to where I parked my car earlier. I got seated on the bus and next thing you know that same guy I ran into walked on. He smiled at me and sat down right next to me. "So we meet again. By the way, I'm Sean." He said to me. "Hey, I'm Rae." "So what brings you to the airport?" "My boyfriend came down to visit me from Pittsburgh and he had to go back, so I drove him to the airport." "Why does your boyfriend live in Pittsburgh." "Well, uh...he plays on the Pittsburgh Penguins hockey team." I always hated telling people that, I always feel like they won't believe me and think I'm crazy or something. "Oh wow, are you serious?" "Yeah..." "That's pretty cool." "Yeah but, it gets to be a pain with him always on the road and busy, and now we don't live anywhere near each other." "Why do you live down here then?" "Oh don't worry it's not my choice. Long story." "I've got time." "No offence or anything but, I don't even know you. I'm surprised I already told you as much as I have." "Yeah I guess your right." "Well I've got to go, so I guess nice talking to you?" "Yeah, bye." I walked off the bus, got in my car and drove home. When I got there my mom was in her room with her boyfriend so I decided there was no need to say Hi. I didn't want to interrupt 'anything.' I was pretty drained from the past few days so I filled up the bath tub and climbed in. While laying there, I soon drifted into a light sleep.

I was almost done with all my packing when my phone started ringing. It was Jordan. "Hello?" "Hey Babe." "What's up?" "Nothing to much, just got out of practice and I'm going to go out to dinner with the guys. What about you?" "uh, I'm packing." "Why are you packing?" "Well Babe, I'm moving to Florida." "What? Why?." He asked confused. "Apparently that's where my mom has been living and my dad thinks by moving me AGAIN that things will change." "What the fuck, you know how much farther you are going to be away from Pittsburgh now?" "Yeah, I know. I'm sorry." "No, it's not your fault." "Yeah." "Okay well I just called you to say Hi and that I loved you." "Alright behave yourself tonight Jor. Love you." "Haha okay I'll try. Bye Babe." I set my phone on my bed and just sat there on the ground staring at my stuff. 'yet another move' I thought to myself. I remembered how it used to be in Pittsburgh. My bitchy boss, my best friends, Jordan, my real home. I missed it all. Maybe someday I will finally be able to go back there and stay there. I was pretty tired so I jumped in the shower real quick, got out and went to bed. It was early but I just wanted this day to end.




Next thing I know my alarm was waking me up. I unwillingly got out of bed and put on some sweatpants and one of the many sweatshirts I had taken from Jordan. I went downstairs, grabbed a granola bar and started taking all my stuff into my car. I didn't bother saying goodbye to Blaine, I just got in my car and started driving. When I got to the airport I checked the time, I had thirty minutes to get to the plane. I quickly checked in my bags and did everything else and then boarded the plane. We touched down in Atlanta, Georgia so we could switch planes. The plane didn't take off for another two hours, so I walked around the airport until I found some restaurant that looked like the food was edible. After I ate I decided I would walk over to where I was going to board the plane and then call Jordan. 'Ring,Ring.' "Hello?" "Hey Jordan." "Hey what's up?" "Nothing much just sitting here waiting to board the next plane. What about you?" "oh nothing really, just got out of the shower." "mmm too bad I can't be there to see that." I said teasingly. "Yeah it's a shame. I think it is going to be necessary for you to visit often. I don't know how long I can last." "oh really? and what if I don't" "There are always other options around here. I can have girls begging for me." He joked. "The only girl who will be begging for you will be Crosby." "hey! no need for the gay jokes." He attempted to sound hurt, and failed. "I was just kidding babe." "Yeah you better be." "Psh, you think you're all tough" "I'm Jordan Staal, I am tough." "ha ha, don't make me laugh." "You are just on a roll today aren't you." "Well, I don't mean to brag or anything." "Good, then don't." "haha shut up. Well I need to board the plane so I'll call you when I'm to my new house and let you know how much it sucks." "Alright sounds good to me. Love you." "Love you too, bye." I hung up the phone, grabbed my carry on bag and boarded the plane. About an hour and 30 minutes later we landed again. I got my luggage and went out to the parking lot. My dad told me that my mom should be waiting for me. I looked around and saw someone who was dressed up like a limo driver holding a sign that said my name. I walked over. "Are you Rae?" The man asked me. "Yeah. Where is my mom." "She had some...uh business to do." 'ha right, more like some people to do' I thought to myself. "....alright then." Typical. I shouldn't of even expected my mom to be there. The man took my stuff and put it in the trunk while I climbed in the back seat. About 30 minutes later we pulled into a driveway. "This is your new house." It was in Marco Island. I got out and looked at the house. It was big and the beach was right in our backyard which was pretty nice. The man grabbed my bags and led me into the house and then to my new room. The room I had was on the second floor all the way at the end of the hallway. Not anywhere near my mom's room which was downstairs. I didn't mind. When I walked in my room I noticed my mom had decorated it for me, I guess she was trying to be nice. It was a teal color, which I liked. There was a big bed in the middle of the room with a cool iron design on it. I figured it was a California King. The comforter was big, white, and fluffy. Over to the left side, the wall was just a big window that overlooked the beach. If you kept walking to the corner on the left wall there was a huge bathroom with everything a person could need. I walked back out of the bathroom and to the right corner of the room, where I found my big walk in closet. Which would be great for all my clothes. There was a flat screen TV up on the wall straight across from my bed. I looked around a little bit more and found another door over on the right side which led me into a little room that looked like a little hangout room, or for more privacy. Hah my mom always thought of everything. The man that had taken me from the airport was still standing in the doorway. "By the way, my name is Al. If you need anything just let me know." "Alright thank you." I was still amazed by my room. I hopped up on the bed and decided to call Jordan again. "Hello there." "Hey, wow Jor you really need to come down and see this house." "I know, I want to come see you." "Please do. When do you think you could?" "Well this weekend I don't have any games so that might work." "Please, Please, Please." I begged. "....I'm thinking about it." He teased. "What is there to think about!.....and we won't have my dad or Blaine watching our every move." I continued. "Alright, Alright. It's a deal. I'll leave on an early flight Friday." "Okay, Good. Well I have to unpack so I'll talk to you later. Love you." I hung up the phone and just laid on my bed. 'This isn't going to be so bad after all' I thought to myself.

The day went by pretty slowly after that and ended up with Jordan and I just laying around all day watching movies. "Babe?" Jordan said. "Yes." "I'm sorry to break it to you but, I do have a job as a hockey player and I need to get back to Pittsburgh soon." "Soon as in when exactly?" "Tomorrow....my coach called me and wants me back." "ugh Jordan." "I know, I know. I'm really sorry." "It's okay. What time do you have to leave tomorrow?" "Early, like 6:00. I have practice to get to also." "Ah well maybe we should just go to bed now, you're going to need some rest and it's getting late." "Alright." He got up and pulled me by the hand into the bedroom. I slipped on a pair of Jordan's sweatpants and climbed into bed. He went to the bathroom and came out in just his boxers. He got into the bed and I curled up next to him. "I love you Rae." "I love you too." "Night babe." I closed my eyes and slowly started to drift to sleep.

The next morning I rolled over and noticed Jordan wasn't there. I sat up and noticed his stuff wasn't in the room anymore either. I got up and walked into the the kitchen. I found a note.

Rae,

Sorry I left without saying goodbye. I didn't want to wake you. The keys to the hotel room are right next to the note in an envelope, when you leave just give them to the front desk. I hope everything goes okay when you get to Blaine's. I'll call you when I get out of practice. Love you babe.

Jordan.

'Ugh' I thought to myself. Back to hell. Now that Jordan was gone I had to go back to Blaine's and at the moment I hated him and wanted nothing to do with him. I got out of bed and started getting the things that I had accumulated over the days together. I didn't feel like changing out of what I was wearing so I just left it on. I double checked everything to make sure that I or Jordan didn't leave anything here. Then I grabbed the keys to the hotel and left. I got into my car, which was freezing I might add. Fall was finally here. On the way back to Blaine's so much stuff was running through my mind. I just didn't know what to think about anything. Expecially about my Dad. I pulled into the driveway, got out of my car, walked up to the front door and unwillingly walked in. Of course, Blaine was sitting on the couch. "Finally decided to stop running to Jordan for your problems?" I wanted to hurt him so bad at the point. I decided to not respond to him. "Well I thought I'd let you know that Dad has a nice plan in store for you. I'll let him tell you though." He continued. Once again I just ignored him and walked upstairs. I climbed in bed and turned on the TV. I lifted the arm of the sweatshirt that I was wearing and smelled it, smelled just like Jordan. I wanted him to be with me so much. Soon I went to sleep, considering I didn't have much of anything else to do.

'Ring,Ring' I grabbed my phone and looked at the caller ID, my Dad. I contemplated not answering it but, I thought I should just get it over with. "Hello?" "Hello Rae. So here is the new plan. Your mother has been living in Florida for a while now, if you didn't know. Which I'm sure you didn't because you've obviously been busy with other things. Well anyways, we made arrangements for you to move down there because apparently Detroit isn't working very well for you and I'm sure you don't want to live with your brother anymore. I suppose that's not his fault though, he was just keeping an eye on you like I told him. He actually knows how to listen." "Yeah, and he is a 24 year old pussy who listens to everything his Daddy tells him to do." "What was that Rae?" "Oh nothing." I replied sarcastically. "You better watch your attitude." "Okay wow. I'm 19 years old. I'm not going to bow down to you like Blaine does." He ignored me and went on. "Your plane ticket is for 9:00 AM tomorrow. I'll check in on you in a couple days to make sure everything went okay. Bye." I hung up the phone. 'Ah shit.' I thought. Now I have to go and move to a new place and start ALL over once again. I also have to go to work and quit. AND now I'm going to be even farther away from Jordan. Just my luck. I looked at the clock it was 11:00 AM. I decided I would go to work and get that over with before I started packing. I walked downstairs, Blaine wasn't there so I figured he had went to work. I pulled into the Joe Louis Arena and went in. I walked up to Babcock's office and knocked on the door. "Come in." I opened the door and sat down. "Hello Rae. How can I help you?" "I'm here to tell you I can't work here anymore." "....and why is that?" He asked confused. "Well, I guess I'm moving to Florida to live with my mom? Not really my choice but, I suppose I can't really do much about it." "I'm very sorry to hear that. A lot of the guys really liked you working here with them. Well I guess we should go announce it to them, they are just getting ready to go on for practice." "Alright." We walked into the locker room. Babcock grabbed Blaine on our way, I guess he thought he needed to be there or something. Whatever. "Guys listen up." Babcock said loudly to get their attention. They all looked up at us. "I'm sorry to say that Rae will no longer be working with us." "What? Why?" Lebda asked. "I'll let her explain that to you." Babcock said while looking at me. "Well, uh I guess I'm moving to Florida. My mom lives down there." "This blows!" I heard Downey say. I had to chuckle at that. He always made me laugh. "Alright I have to get home and pack." "When are you leaving?" Valtteri asked. "My plane leaves at 9:00 tomorrow." "oh." Was all he replied. "Well It was nice meeting all of you. I'll visit and call you guys." Then one by one they came up and said their 'Goodbyes' to me. As soon as that was over with I walked away, pushing past Blaine. I got in my car, drove home. When I got in my room I opened my closet. The next few hours would be for packing.

As I turned around and started to walk away Jordan grabbed my arm. "Rae wait." "What do you want Jordan?" "Rae I didn't mean to say that, it just came out." I was just so overwhelmed I didn't really have anything to say. "Look I'm really sorry. Everything is going to be okay." "No, it's not going to be okay. I mean Jordan, I wouldn't even be in this mess if you wouldn't of worked with my Dad to get me up here. Not to mention the fact that you wanted the little break that led us to this." He just looked at me with shock like he was expecting an instant acceptance to his apology. "I understand that you are sorry, and I accept your apology. It's just I don't know anymore Jordan. Things are REALLY messed up." "I know Rae, I know." "Can we just go home? Well to your hotel because I'm not dealing with him." "Yeah, that's fine." He took my hand in his and we walked out to his car. The ride to his hotel was silent. There wasn't much to say anyways. As soon as we got in his room, I slipped out of my dress and put on a pair of his boxers and just decided to sleep in my bra. As I was pulling back the covers on the bed he came up behind me and wrapped his arms around me. "Excuse me." "Yes?" "Did you ask to borrow those?" He said while joking. "No, actually I didn't." He leaned in closer, whispering in my ear. "Well I guess it doesn't matter much, they are going to be on the floor soon anyways." He turned me around and starting kissing me while pushing me back onto the bed. "Jordan...." "Yes?" "Why do you always have to do this." "Do what?" He said while kissing down my neck. "Oh don't even play innocent with me." ".....You like it." "Well I wasn't denying that." "Exactly, so shut it." "...what if I don't want to." "I'll make you." "Oh really? how so?" He looked at me with an evil smirk on his face, pushed me down on the bed again, and got on top of me. He then took both my arms and held them down above my head. While doing this he started kissing down my neck, then stomach, then back up to my mouth. He lingered around there for awhile, which I didn't mind. "This isn't very fair you know." I said once he left my mouth. "...I know but, that's the fun in it." He held my arms above my head in one hand now, while the other went down to slide off his boxers that I was wearing. I could of easily gotten my arms free, but where's the fun in that? For a not even a minute he let go of my hands so he could take his own clothes off. Of course just for the sake of it, I left my hands where they were. After he had undressed himself he came back to me. Considering I already didn't have a shirt on, he ran his hands up my back and took off my bra. His hands roamed around my body freely, which I did not mind. I decided it was now my turn. I sat up and pushed him off me. I ran my hands along his upper thighs, teasingly. His muscles tightened and his breathing quickened. I could tell he was getting anxious. Every inch I moved closer and closer. Right before I touched his dick, I stopped. "Rae..." He pleaded. I loved doing this to him. He grabbed my hand and put it in it's place. I decided I had tortured him enough. I moved my hand up and down, until he decided it was time for the real thing. He flipped me over, spread my legs, and got on top of me. Need I say more?
After our little rendezvous I was quite exhausted. I snuggled up next to him and feel asleep, trying to forget everything that had happened that day.
'RING, RING.' I rolled out from under Jordan's arm and grabbed my phone. Before I answered I looked at the clock, 12:18. I didn't even bother to check who it was. "Hello?" I said groggily. "Rae, your brother informed me this morning everything that has happened with you recently and let me tell you, I am not pleased. Nor am I surprised, for that matter. I didn't really expect much from you anyways yet there was a little bit of hope." I didn't really know how to respond to that, so I just didn't say anything. "Are you there?" He asked. "....Yeah." I nervously replied. I wasn't expecting Blaine to tell him so soon. "Babe? Who is on the phone?" Jordan asked me. "Oh so you are with someone at the moment? Figures. Who is it? Anyone I would know?"Or just some random guy? I'm not really sure who you sleep with now a days. Seems like anyone and everyone." My brain told me to say something but, my mouth wouldn't move. "I asked you a fucking question and I expect to be answered." ".....I'm...I'm with uh Jordan." "I thought I had a deal with him. I thought he was staying away from you. I guess I didn't make myself clear enough before or maybe you're just to stupid to understand but, I don't approve of you guys being together and in my world that means you won't be together." "You can't fucking control who I date." "Rae, Who is on the phone with you?" Jordan asked again. "Tell your little faggot boyfriend or whatever he is, that I'm on the phone with you. He is getting on my nerves." "It's my dad Jordan." "Okay now that that is settled, back to what I was saying." My Dad continued. "I don't fucking know what I'm going to have to do so that your dumb ass will understand and obey me. But I will promise you this, you will do what I want. No matter what the hell it takes." "Oh really? I'd like to see that happen." "Oh don't worry it will."

My stomach grumbled. I didn't realize how long I had been just laying there with Jordan. It was 5:00 already. "Hey Jor wanna go out tonight? We can get something to eat and then go to a club or something?" "Yeah, of course." He said smiling. "Okay well I'm going to head home and get changed and stuff. Pick me up at 7:00?" "Sounds good to me." I got out of the bed and started putting my clothes back on. I started walking out of the room when Jordan suddenly wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled me back. "Yes?" I asked. "I forgot something." He then kissed me. "Alright now you can go." "Pshhh. See you later." "Bye babe." I then left and rushed home, I didn't have as much time as I wanted to get ready and I wanted to once again avoid Blaine. Him knowing Jordan was here would not be good. Anyways I hoped in the shower, straightened my hair, did my make up and got dressed. I was wearing a short, tight, red dress and my black stilettos. I walked downstairs and Blaine still wasn't home. I figured he went out with the team or something. As soon as I walked out the door, Jordan's car pulled up. I opened the door and climbed in. "Hey baby." He said while kissing me. "Hey whats up?" "Nothing just you know, picking you up. haha. Well where do you want to go for dinner, because I don't really know anywhere to eat around here." "haha uhmm lets just go to Arby's?" "alrighty, that's simple enough but, aren't you a little dressed up for that?" "haha oh whatever." "Okay whatever you say." Then he drove off and went to the closest Arby's. After that we went to the club. We weren't even in there for 10 minutes when pretty much the whole Red Wings team came in......followed by my brother. So I was right, he was out with the team. Of course, the one night I go out with Jordan they all have to come to the exact same club. "Shit." "What?" Jordan asked. "Blaine is here, along with practically the whole Red Wings team." "Ohh. damn." "Lets try to avoid them." "Rae, I came to the club to have fun I'm not going to be hiding from them all night. They can get over the fact that I'm here with you. Now lets go get something to drink." He grabbed my hand and pulled me over to the bar, where coincidentally my brother was. "Rae what the fuck is he doing here?" Blaine asked once he saw us. "I came up here to see her, not that it's any of your business or anything." Jordan replied for me. "I want you to stay away from my sister, you already fucked up things enough." "Blaine calm down." I added. "No Rae I won't calm down, I'm not letting you fuck up everything again. I swear to God if you guys do anything." "I'll do whatever the fuck I want, including your sister." Jordan said. Blaine then got really pissed and started getting in Jordan's face. "Blaine back the fuck off, Jesus Christ." I said while standing in between them. By then Downey, Lebda, and Quincey had realized what was going on and came over. "Is there a problem here Blaine?" Downey asked. "Yeah, this douche bag in front of me needs to stay away from my sister." "Do you need us to handle it for you?" "No, he doesn't. I'm here with Jordan. Get over it." With that I grabbed Jordan's hand and took him out to the dance floor. "Sorry about that babe." I apologized. "Just forget about it. We're gonna have some fun tonight." He whispered in my ear. I looked around and saw Blaine sitting at the bar with the guys, they were all staring at us. 'Fuck it' I thought to myself. I then started to dance on Jordan. It started getting pretty physical if you know what I mean. His hands slid from the small of my back down to my ass, pulling me closer to him. I looked up and he was staring down at me. I tilted my head up and we started making out. After a while I wanted a drink. "Let's get something to drink." I grabbed him and we went over to the bar. Standing right next to Blaine. "I'll have a Corona, what do you want babe?" "Make that two." Jordan said. Blaine turned to look at me, grabbed my arm and pulled me over to him. "I'm not fucking joking around Rae. Don't do this with him." "Let go of me." "No, you are going to listen to me." "I'm not going to do shit." I pulled away from him, grabbed my beer and walked away. Jordan followed close behind me. I went to the back corner of the club where there were little booths to sit in for more privacy. Jordan sat down and I got on his lap. "I'm glad I came up here." He said to me. "Yeah me too, I missed you." Through out the night we just kept buying drinks. Pretty soon we were pretty buzzed. "Come on, let's go dance." I said. We went out there and started dancing. 10 minutes later I felt a tap on my shoulder. It was Lebda and everyone else. "Hey, can we have a dance?" "No actually you can't." Jordan answered. "Jordan, stop." I said. "Look Rae, I know you fucked like half of them and all but, I came here to see you. You can see them whenever you want, I live in another state." Right then Blaine came barging in. "YOU FUCKED HALF THE TEAM?" "No, I didn't." "Then who did you do Rae?" "No one." "Don't even give me that bullshit." "I'm not talking to you about this right now." "Yes, you are. I told you that if you started up this shit again I was going to tell dad. Did you think I was bluffing or something?" "Okay first of all you don't even know what the fuck you're talking about, so calm down." "No I won't, you are going to tell me. I'm going to ask you one more time, did you fuck anyone on the team?" Right then I knew I was stuck. "....or I could just ask them myself, and they will tell me. I do have connections with the coach and all." "God, you're such an asshole. Yeah I did, even though it really is NONE of your business." "Of course you did. I can't believe I even expected better from you. I thought you were finally over being a whore. Guess I was wrong. Oh and how many were there? because knowing you, it wasn't just one of them." I couldn't believe he was actually treating me like this, in front of all of them. He wasn't even acting like my brother. Just sucking up to Dad, being his little bitch. "I asked you a question Rae." I couldn't take it anymore, I just blew up. "There were three of them. Are you happy now? or do you want their names too? Hell I'll just tell you anyways! Filppula, Lebda, and Downey. OH and that isn't even counting the lead singer of Slipknot and the fact that me and Jordan did it earlier today. Satisfied? Now you can run off to Dad like the little pussy you are and tell him all the bad things I've been doing while in Detroit. So then he can get pissed at me and send me to live somewhere else where I can fuck up even more there. All of this just so you can look like the perfect little child. Dad's favorite. Yeah well fuck that and fuck you."

When I woke up the next morning I decided I needed to call Eleigh. It had been forever since I had seen or talked to her and last night made me realize how much I missed her. I picked up my phone and dialed her number. 'Ring,Ring.' "Hello?" "Hey, I've missed you!" "What do you want, I thought you moved on." "What are you talking about?" "Word is you don't want anything to do with anyone in Pittsburgh anymore." "Yeah, let me guess Jordan told you that?" "Actually, yes he did." "And you guys all believe him?" "For the most part, yes." "He is full of shit, why would I be calling you right now if I didn't want anything to do with you?" "True but, why would he say all that shit?" "Good fucking question, I'm really getting sick of him." "Why, what do you mean?"

I then went on to explain everything that happened between us two and everything that happened while I had been living in Detroit. "Well damn girl, you get around! Ow Ow!" "haha what can I say? So anyways how are you and Sid doing?" "We are doing pretty good. We broke up like two weeks ago because he got drunk and did some girl at a bar." "Typical guy." "Yeah but, then I went and hooked up with Ryan Whitney. Now we are all good though." "hahah well damn, and you say I get around!" "Okay yeah, my one other guy compared to your like eighteen." "hahah right." "Well Sid is walking in the door, and at the moment he dislikes you a lot because of Jordan. So, me talking to you would not be the greatest thing." "Ah alright I catch your drift. Call me another time though, soon." "Okay I definitely will. Bye." I hung up the phone. So, Jordan was also trying to get everyone in Pittsburgh to hate me as well? Apparently they believe all his bullshit. There were no words to describe how much I hated him in that moment. I had found myself being mostly angry at everything those days. I needed something to get my anger out. I decided to go running. I was sick of fucking guys left and right and getting drunk. Running just cleared my head. It was around that time of year where summer had just ended and it was getting cold again. The time when hockey started up again. I put on some running pants and a sweatshirt, grabbed my ipod and left. I ran about 3 miles before I started feeling better. When I finally got back, I went upstairs and took a shower. I got out put on some jeans and Jordan's sweatshirt. As if on cue, right when I started feeling better about everything, my cell phone rang. It was Jordan. I was so sick of his bullshit, that I needed to put a stop to it. "Jordan what the fuck do you want?" "I just want to talk." "Stop with the bullshit, Honestly. I can't take it anymore Jordan. I went to your hotel earlier thinking things could go back to the way they were, to find out you just blew me off pretending like you didn't invite me over to talk to you." "Rae, I'm sorry about that. I just...I don't know." "Yeah exactly." "Just please listen. This time I really do want to talk to you. Come over and I promise you we will talk." "If you fuck this up Jordan, I swear to God...." "I know I know, just come over." "Fine." I hung up the phone. I did my makeup and left my hair curly. I was still wearing his sweatshirt and jeans. I looked in the mirror one last time and left. After I got to the hotel and went through all the bullshit with talking to the lady at the desk downstairs I went up to his room and knocked on the door. I was trying not to get my hopes up for anything because this could just be another rerun of the day before. He opened the door. He was wearing this cute little blue zip up sweater with dark jeans. His hair was spiked up, just the way I liked it. He looked great. Right then, I realized how much I had missed him. "I see you still love that sweatshirt of mine." He said while eyeing me. "Hah yeah." I had to blush. He smiled. "Well come in." I walked over and sat on the couch. He closed the door and came over to sit by me. "So how have you been?" He asked. "Not that great but, alright." "I'm sure I didn't really help with that." "No, you didn't." "Once again, I'm really sorry about that." "Yeah. I just don't understand any of this Jordan. You said you wanted a break. So I gave you one. I fucking moved states. Then you call me up, all pissed that I was with some other guy. What did you expect? Not to mention what you did the other day. I just don't know what the fuck you want from me." "I just miss you Rae." "Yeah well this bullshit is not the way to deal with it. We can't be on this little break anymore and I don't think friends would work out too well. You have to make up your mind. You either be with me, or you get out of my life. It's your choice." Right then he grabbed my face and starting kissing me. My mind said 'NO' but my body said yes. So many emotions were running through me. I wanted him so bad and I missed him but, was this really the best way to deal with things? What I wanted finally took control over what was right and I gave in. I let his tongue roam my mouth. Soon enough he was on top of me. My hands ran up his shirt, taking it off. I then felt all over his chest and stomach. Soon my hands lowered to where his pants were and I slowly slipped them off, along with his boxers. Feeling around his upper thighs and lower stomach. "I've missed you so much." He whispered seductively in my ear. He started pulling up my sweatshirt which I eagerly helped him take off. Then onto my pants, he unbuttoned them and pulled them down. His hands explored around until they got to my back where he unlatched my bra, throwing it across the room. I willingly took my lace underwear off. I could tell he was sick of waiting, so I made it a little worse for him. I rubbed my hand along his dick. His breathing started to increase. I stopped teasingly. "oh come on Rae." He pleaded. I still didn't continue and apparently he had had enough. He picked me up and pushed me against the wall. We did it right then, and there. After we were finished we had made our way into the shower and then to his bed. "Well that just made my day." He laughed. "Haha shut up." I said to him. "So how many girls did you get with while I was gone?" I asked. "Hmm, there were three I think?" "...and what were their names?" "Kristina, Lindsey, and I don't remember the other one I think it started with an S?" "hahah nice." "yeah, and what about you?" "Four." "Their names would be nice...." "Valtteri Filppula," "Oh yeah that douche." "Do you want to know their names or not?" "Continue." "Okay so Filppula, Corey Taylor, Aaron Downey, and Brett Lebda." "Well damn why don't you just do the whole Red Wings team." "Oh shut the fuck up." I smiled at him. The rest of the day we just laid their catching up with each other and watching TV.

I woke up to my cell phone ringing. I turned over and looked at the screen. "Ahhh!" It was Jordan, once again. What the hell did he want. If he was just calling to yell at me again I didn't even want to talk to him. Yet I found myself missing him. I clicked ignore and rolled back over. I wanted to talk to him, just not now. I went downstairs to find out, to my relief that my brother wasn't home. I grabbed a apple and some caramel sauce. I went upstairs to my room and watched TV. Nothing was on so I watched reruns of Burn Notice. Half way through the show my phone started ringing again. Unsurprisingly it was Jordan. I decided I couldn't put it off anymore. "uh..Hello?" "Hey." "Yeah? What do you want?" I wasn't going to pretend to be nice to him after how he acted before. "I just wanted to tell you that I'm in Detroit right now." "...okay? why?" "uhhhhh.....hmmm...I....my.....Because my...uh...agent wanted to talk to the Red Wings about a deal." I knew when he was lying but, I wasn't going to press it. "...oh really?" Seeming uninterested. "Yeah, and well I think we need to talk." "Alright...." "Well do you wanna come to my hotel and talk?" "Sure." "Okay well I'm at the Hilton." "I'll be over in like 30 minutes." "Okay, see you." I hung up and started getting ready. I decided to put on some tight Hollister jeans that made my ass look great. Of course I left Jordan's sweatshirt on. I put on my makeup and straightened my hair before I left. I slipped on my black flats and drove to the Hilton. When I got there I walked in and up to the front desk. "Hello how may I help you." "Jordan Staal's room please?" "hmm are you Rae?" "Yes, I am." "Alright. He is in room 618. It's on the 8Th floor." "Okay, thank you." I got into the elevator. 'Ding' I looked up at it was at the eighth floor. I walked out and started looking for room 618. I finally found it. I knocked on the door a few times. After a minute or two of waiting Jordan opened the door. He was fully naked except for a towel around his waist. I looked in his room and there was naked girl lying on his couch. "Jordan come back, I wasn't finished with you." I just stared at him. "What are you doing here?" He gave me a weird look. "What the fuck are you talking about? You called me like 30 minutes ago and asked to talk." "No I didn't?" "Oh my fucking God. You can not be serious right now." "uh...yeah." I was so fucking pissed off I didn't even know what to say. I punched him in the balls. "Shit Rae, what was that for?" I then punched him in the face. "Fuck you Jordan." "I turned around and walked out. I really could not believe it. 'haha' I laughed at myself, and I actually considered getting back with him again. I didn't even know what to do or think. I needed to get my frustration out and the only thing I could think of doing was going to the bar. I decided to call up Lebda and ask him to go with me to the bar. He agreed so I went home, got changed into something more revealing and left to meet him there. I got there before him and I ordered a martini. I was just standing there at the bar when I felt someones arms around my waist. I turned around, it was Lebda. I really think I could now consider Lebda one of my best friends. He was the first person I met when I came up here and I really liked him. We just kinda hung out for a while drinking for a couple hours. "So how was your day?" He asked me. "Horrible." "Why what happened?" I then when on to explain everything about what happened with Jordan. "Wow what the fuck, dude Rae that guy is seriously fucked up." "Yeah I know." "Well it's getting kind of late, so lets go." He said to me. That was one thing that Lebda was always good at, getting me home and being on time. I stood up feeling a little dizzy. I hadn't realized how much I had drank. Lebda grabbed my hand and walked me out towards his car. He walked me over to my side of the car but, he stopped before he opened the door for me. "Hey Rae?" "Yes?" "I just wanted to say thanks for inviting me out tonight." He leaned in and kissed me. We started making out. He shoved me up against the car and his hands started roaming up my shirt. Soon my pants were around my ankles. I quickly pulled down his pants and boxers, rubbing his upper thighs. We fucked right there then. It was filled with so much emotion. When we were finished. I got in the car and he drove me home. We pulled into my driveway. "Well I had fun to night." He said while winking at me. "haha so did I." "I'll see you later." "Bye." I got out and walked into my house. Unfortunately my brother was sitting on the couch. "So Rae, where have you been these past couple of days?" "Uhm well the other day I went to a concert with Downey and I stayed at his house that night because we got back really late and then tonight I went out with Lebda to the bar just to hang out." I had to lie to him. "Right, just checking up on you." "Alright, I'm really tired so I'm going to bed." "Okay, Goodnight." I walked upstairs and got in the shower. After that I put on some pajamas, got into bed and turned on the TV. While watching a Pittsburgh and Ottawa game, it reminded me of everything that has happened with my life. Soon I started to think of Jordan, and then I started to miss him. No I could not do that. Finally I dozed of to sleep.

I got out of bed, glancing at Corey while he was still sleeping. I walked out of the room and grabbed my purse. Rummaging through it I tried to find my phone, it wasn't there. I must of left it with Downey. I looked around the room for a phone. I picked it up and dialed Downey's number. "Hello?" "Hey, it's Rae." "Well Hey! What happened to you last night?" "Haha I'll explain that later but, I don't know where my phone is and I was wondering if you saw it or have it?" "Yes, actually I do, you left it at the bar last night and I found it. I was waiting for you to realize you didn't have it." "Yeah well I wasn't necessarily thinking straight last night haha." "Whatever, it's all good." "Okay well I'm going to come over within the next hour? To get my phone." "Okay sounds good to me, see you then." "Bye." I hung up the phone and turned around. "AH holy shit! Don't do that." Corey was standing right behind me when I turned around. "Hah sorry I didn't mean to scare you." "It's alright, well I have to go because I left my phone with Downey last night and I have to go get it." "Alright, we should get together some other time then?" "Yeah, here is my number. Next time you're in Detroit or Pittsburgh for that matter, give me a call." "Oh, I definitely will." He smiled at me and gave me a hug. "See you." I walked out and downstairs remembering I didn't drive here. 'I guess I'll have to get a taxi.' I thought to myself. I wasn't to great with the whole getting a taxi to come over to me. After ten minutes one finally parked in front of me. I told him the address and off we went. We stopped in front of Downey's house. I paid the driver, got out, and walked up to the door. 'Knock, Knock' To my surprise Lebda opened it. "Hey!" He grabbed me and gave me a big hug. "hi, whats up?" "Nothing much just hanging out with Downey." "Cool,Cool." "Well come in." I walked in to find Downey on the couch. "Hey Rae." "Hey, where's my phone?" "Here you go, you got a call from that douche bag Jordan, just to let you know." "Ugh, great. Whatever he's an ass." "Yeah. So anyways, what are you doing today?" "Nothing that I know of." "You should hang out with us today." "Okay, I will." The rest of the day we just kind of laid around and watched movies. It was nice. After awhile Lebda left because it was getting pretty late. I stayed though, I had nowhere to go or be. Downey and I started watching Crash. Through the movie I found us moving closer and closer to each other. I had to admit I was attracted to him so I didn't mind. Every once and awhile I would take a quick glance at him and I always caught him staring at me. Next thing you know we were making out. Unexpectedly he started taking off my clothes and I let him. He carried me into his bedroom and we finished the night off pretty nicely if you catch my drift. I woke up around 8:00. I hadn't been home in a while and I didn't want to get Blaine more suspicious than he already was. So, I got dressed and left. Once again I had to take a taxi because Downey had picked me up from my house the other night. When I got home Blaine was sleeping, which I was thankful for because I didn't need to have a 20 questions with him about the past two nights. I quietly went upstairs and took a shower. I felt nice and clean once I got out and surprisingly very tired. The past few days had been pretty overwhelming. I looked through my drawers for some comfy pajamas. I grabbed a pair of sweatpants that were from the Pittsburgh dance team and of course the only sweatshirt I had that was clean was one of Jordan's that I never gave back to him. I put them on and slipped into bed. Soon I was off to sleep.

I sat there for a while, just staring at the name on my phone. I read it over and over again. Jordan. Everything that happened back in Pittsburgh kept running through my mind. I didn't know if I wanted to talk to him. Yet I was anxious to know what he wanted. I clicked on his name, and hit send. 'Ring, Ring.' "Hello?" Hearing his voice unexpectedly shocked me. "...uh Hi. You called me?" "Yeah, I did." "...okay and?" I could tell this was going to be a awkward conversation, not good. "So, I heard about you and that pussy Filppula." "How did you find out about that?" "It was in some article, but that is besides the point." "So Jordan, what exactly is the point?" "I was just seeing if it was true or not." "Honestly, why do you care?" "Just wondering if you're the same slut that left Pittsburgh, but I can tell you haven't changed one bit." "I'm still not understanding this. YOU are the one who said YOU wanted a break and that YOU needed time, not me. You can't get pissed for anything. Now you're getting what you wanted." "Fine, two can play at this game." "Jord---" The line went dead. What the fuck, honestly. He called me just to say that. Suddenly my door slammed open. It was none other than Downey. "Hey, there is a Slipknot and Disturbed concert tonight. Wanna go with me?" "hmm I don't know." After that phone call I didn't want to do much of anything. "Come on Rae.....PLEASE." He was just like a little kid, I swear. I couldn't say no to him. "Ah alright." I did love those bands and I suppose I needed something to get Jordan off my mind. What better than loud headbanging music? "GREAT! I'll pick you up at 7:00." The rest of the day was a blur. I went home, showered, did my hair and makeup and last but not least got dressed. I decided to wear very tight gray ripped skinny jeans with a Slipknot tank top that was a little too small but it still looked good on my figure. My hair was straightened and my makeup somewhat dark. I walked downstairs, slipped on my bright red heels and went outside. Of course Downey was there already. I hopped in the car and we were off. "Damn you look great." "haha thanks." We drove down to the Filmore and of course we had VIP seating and backstage passes. I loved this, of course because I found the lead singer of Slipknot very attractive. [at least when he had short hair.]
The concert was amazing as expected. We then went backstage to have drinks with the band. Once back there I found all of Slipknot, each member with drink already in their hands. I went up to Corey Taylor [the lead singer.] "Hey I'm Rae." "Well hello, I'm Corey." He looked me up and down appreciatively. "So wanna come to get a few drinks with us?" He asked me. Hmm he was quick with making plans, no hesitation. I liked that. "Of course." I replied with a smile. Downey was caught up with talking to Sid [DJ] about how he broke both his feet. I told him I was leaving with Corey and that I would meet up with him later. I got into Corey's car with him and we drove to some bar I had never been to. "So whats your story?" "It's quite long actually, I might bore you." "oh babe I've got all night." I then went on to tell him the whole story of when I lived in Pittsburgh, my job there, Jordan, Eric, Eleigh, My Family, and why I'm currently here. "Well Damn, I thought I had a fucked up life." "hahah yeah..." I didn't really know how to respond to that one. "Anyways you look like you need some fun in your life. Here's a drink." He handed me some drink, I had no idea what it was but I didn't care. A few drinks later I think we were both feeling a little buzzed. Downey soon showed up with the rest of the band, he was loving hanging out with them. Corey and I somehow found our way to the dance floor. I would have to admit that, that was some of the most dirtiest dancing I had ever done. A little weird considering I had only met Corey that night. While we were dancing Corey whispered in my ear. "Let's go back to my hotel." I couldn't resist. "Okay let me just tell Downey." "Hey Downey, I'm leaving with Corey. You don't have to drive me home or anything. I'll see you tomorrow." "Alright. Don't forget to use protection." He winked at me. "hahah oh I will." As soon as I turned around Corey was pulling me by the wrist to his car. He drove quite fast back to his hotel. As soon as we walked in the door he was over to me. We started making out and such. "He really shouldn't have left you alone with me." He said in my ear while undressing me. It sent shivers through my body. I started taking off his clothes. Soon we were both fully naked and on his bed.
I think you know what happened from there.
The next morning, I woke up with a slight hangover. Knowing that Corey would probably only be a one night stand, I didn't feel too bad about what I did.

'beep' 'beep' I rolled over and hit the snooze button on my alarm. Last night was crazy. After the whole team seeing me and Val in the V.I.P. room I decided to get totally drunk I don't really remember much but, I think that Val drove me home last night. I wonder what Blaine thought about that one. I slid out of bed and hobbled over to the bathroom and got into the shower. It felt refreshing. I reluctantly got out and put on my clothes for work. I went into the kitchen and grabbed a cliff bar and headed towards the door, glad that I had missed Blaine. He most likely wouldn't make a big scene about everything at work, so I could avoid it for now. I opened the door. "Rae." Shit, he caught me. I slowly turned around. "Yeah?" "What the fuck happened last night? I told you to be responsible about things." "I was fine." "Yeah right, showing up drunk out of your mind and having Val practically carry you upstairs is not fine. You need to stop acting like a stupid slut." "I can handle myself Blaine, I'm not a kid." "Yeah well you sure act like it, this is the last time I'm warning you before dad gets involved." I didn't even want to talk to him, I couldn't believe he was going along with my dad, I'll remember that next time. I just turned around and walked away. I drove slowly to work, I knew it was going to be awkward when I saw all the guys. I parked and just sat there for a few minutes. Then eventually I unwillingly got out and walked into my office. Of course to get to my office I have to walk through the locker room. Just my luck. "Ow nice little show you put on last night Rae!" I didn't even look to see who it was I just went straight to my office.
Work went by slowly and finally it was lunch. I decided to leave early and go out on my own to avoid the guys. I drove to McDonald's, quick and easy. I left my phone and pretty much everything else at work. I wasn't in the mood to talk to anyone today. I finally drove back to work and went to my office, all the guys were still out to lunch. When I got back I noticed my phone was flashing. I checked it and I had a missed call. None other than from.....Jordan.

We walked in and over to a table in the back corner of the club. Pretty much all of the younger guys on the team were there, and I was liking it. I then noticed that Valtteri had came. This is going to be a good night, I thought to myself. I walked over and sat by Val. "Hey whats up?" "Just hanging out, want a drink?" "Yeah, I'll take a Mint Mojito." "Okay, I'll be right back." As soon as he walked away Brett came up to me. "So you have it out for Filppula?" "haha possibly." "Psh figures. Women always are." "What are you saying he gets around?" "Are you kidding me? No. I mean damn if I was him I would be getting laid left and right. You could say he controls himself well in that area of things." "Hmm well that's good to know." Val then walked back to the table with my drink. "Thanks." "No problem." "Hey want to dance?" I asked him. "uh..sure." We got up and went to the dance floor. Of course Grind On Me by Pretty Ricky was on. So well, I found it appropriate to grind on him. Not that he minded or anything. After dancing for a little bit we went back to the table where everyone else was. "Enjoying being with hockey players? I bet you've never been laid by one before." Kyle Quincey said to me. "haha well actually yeah I have." "Oh really give me some names." By now everyone at the table was listening. "You really want to know?" "I did ask you didn't I?" "Okay uhm well, I dated Jordan Staal and Eric Staal, and hooked up with Colby Armstrong." "WELL DAMN GIRL! You did it with both the Staals!" "hah yeah." "Guys we have found a winner! Babs chose a good one for the job!" All the guys laughed. I decided I wanted another drink so I walked up to the bar. "Can I have a Bailey's?" I noticed that Val had followed close behind me. "Make that two." He added. I looked at him and smiled. We sat at the bar and talked for a little bit, then decided we wanted to go somewhere quieter. We then proceeded to go to the V.I.P. section upstairs. No one else was up there, which was good. I went to go sit down on a big red couch. I pulled Val over there with me. We both sat down pretty close to each other. There was an awkward tension in the room but, it was a good awkward. Soon enough Val's hand found mine. I scooted close to him, he did the same. We sat there just staring at each other. Suddenly, I snapped. I couldn't take it anymore. I got on top of him and we started making out. His hands roaming up my dress, sliding it up as he went. I reached for his pants and got them off as fast as I could. Val then went on to unclasp my bra and take off his shirt. I ripped off his boxers while he slipped off my thong. Well, I think you know what went on from there.

When we had finished our little deed, we just laid there. "Well we should uh do this again sometime." He said to me with a laugh. "haha yeah I agree." "So, you really were with both Staals?" "aha yeah." "How did that work out, don't they hate each other?" "Yeah I don't know, It's a long story." "Well I've got time, and while you're at it explain why you moved up here." I told him about Jordan and Eric. Then continued on to tell him about why I moved to Detroit. "Well damn, that's messed up." "Yeah, I've never had what you would call a "normal" life. Oh and whatever you do, don't let my brother find out about this." "haha don't worry I won't." We put our clothes back on, made ourselves look presentable and went back downstairs to join everyone else. As soon as we got back to the table Brett was already making comments. "Shit, what the hell were you guys doing? You were up there forever!" "Oh, nothing that would interest you." I replied. "haha right, we all know what you were doing. Being the dumbass's that you are I guess you didn't notice that the walls of the V.I.P. room are glass and it overlooks the whole club, we can see pretty much everything that goes on up there. Including that nice little show you two put on." I could feel all the blood flood my cheeks. I looked up at the V.I.P. section and understood what Brett meant, everyone just saw Val and I getting it on.
