Numero Trienta y Siete

A year later......






'Ring,Ring.' "Hello?" I asked. "Hey Rae, your coming up to Pittsburgh tomorrow right?" "Oh hey Eleigh, and yeah I am." "Thank God, I haven't seen you well, since you uh...left." "Yeah I know it's been to long, I just needed time." "Yeah I know, I'm just happy you are coming up. You know you can stay with me if you want." "Yeah I think I might just do that. Well, I have to go finish packing so I will call you when my flight lands tomorrow, Okay?" "Alright, see you. Have a safe flight."





I finished packing, took a quick shower, and went to bed early. My alarm woke me up early around 6:30. I slipped into some sweatpants, conveniently they were Jordan's that I had never given back. They stay in my drawers along with many of his sweatshirts and tshirts. I grabbed my luggage and got into my car. While driving to the airport butterflies hit my stomach. I would probably be faced with the one thing that started this all......Jordan.



Soon my plane landed in the all too familiar Pittsburgh. I sat down with the luggage and called Eleigh to come and pick me up. As I saw her walked towards me I stood up and she gave me a big hug. "I've missed you." "Me too." I replied. On our way back to her apartment she informed me that her and Sid were still together and that soon they were planning on buying a house together. We socialized about all of the old friends except for one that always seemed to be avoided, Jordan.



We finally arrived back at her apartment, as I walked in I noticed everything still looked the same except a few new pieces of furniture here and there. I walked into the guest room and put my stuff in the closet. I walked out to Eliegh and announced that I was going to take a shower and get ready. I guess we were going to go out to the clubs with everyone tonight, as a sort of welcome back reunion. While in the shower thoughts kept running through my mind and I couldn't help but feel sad. I honestly missed Pittsburgh and living here. It was my home. After a long hot shower I faced the fact that I had to get out sometime. I got out and blew dry my hair. I was going to straighten it. I mean, its the first time in a year everyone has seen me, I had to look my best.



After making sure I had finished getting ready I walked out of the room. "Wow Rae, you look amazing." I heard Eleigh say. I looked over myself in the body length mirror in the hallway. Wearing a deep blue mini dress that clung to me and made all my curves look good including my boobs I had to admit I did look good. "Wow, Rae is that you?" I turned and saw Sidney standing by the door. "The one and only." I smiled at Sid as I walked over to him and gave him a hug. "Yeah doesn't she look good? If only I could get as tan as her" Eleigh chimed in. "Yeah well that's what happens when you spend all your time in Florida. I said. "Well we better get going to the club, don't want to be late!" said Sid. I slipped into my silver sparkly pumps and grabbed the matching clutch and headed towards the door. Sidney drove. On the way there I could feel the nerves building up inside of me. I was not only nervous to see all my old friends but, I was nervous for the fact that Jordan could be there.



As we walked into the club I took a deep breath. Eleigh leaned over and whispered in my ear, you'll be fine. I gave her a small smile as we walked into the VIP room. A bunch of people were already there. Everyone turned and looked my way. Max came up to me and gave me a huge hug. "It's been far too long." "Agreed." I said as I smiled at him. Out of all the people, he was one of the ones I had missed the most. Suddenly I felt arms around my waist, as soon as I turned around a huge smile spread across my face, even Colby had come. After chatting with Colby and Max for a little bit I looked over towards a group of guys, almost all of them Penguins players. Suddenly the group of guys dispersed. It was then that I noticed it. The tall blonde with icy blue eyes that caught mine.

Jordan.
