Numero Veintinueve

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.
