chapter 11
Chapter 10.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Renaee POV
There he was the man I had been looking for. Eric stood with his arms in the air staring at us.
"Its not what you think man." Kris stepped back.
"I know. I saw the hole thing." he pulled me into a hug. "I was coming over to save her. Then you took my thunder."
"Oh. I am sorry." Kris looked down.
"It's okay." He smiled toward Kris. "More important..Are you okay?"
"Yes. I...I thought he was you at first." I stuttered.
Ten minutes later they were boarding the plane,Good byes were said but Vero and I were still sitting there. We had said good bye about 5 minutes ago. The ramp doors were shut and everyone had left. Yet there we sat. I being unable to leave still playing the Max incidient in my head. Although its a good thing they are gone.
Max POv
After packing my things I headed to the airport. There I saw her. Her back turned to me and Eric no where in sight. I knew that there was probally a better way of doing this but...Hell, Oh well. I wrapped my arms around her and spun her around. That's when all hell broke loose!! The words she said really stung. I couldnt stop replaying everything in my head. 'why do I have to be so stupid!!' I stared out the window most of the plane ride.
At the hotel Tanger was my roommate. He tried and tried to get someone to switch him but Coach wouldnt allow it. I think the only other thing that could happen would be if Eric and I were roomed together.
"Why do you have to do this to her?" He stopped pacing.
"Who?" I looked towards him.
"Renaee. She obviously doesnt want to be around you. But you cant take no for a answer! Can you?!" He yelled.
"I..Im sorry Tanger!" I pleaded.
"Dont apologize to me. Just stay away from her!" He grabbed his phone and key card.
"Okay. Ill try. But its not that simple when I have been in love with her for 10 years now." I stepped in front of him.
"No you havent. If you were in love you wouldnt have slept with all those other girls." He tried to leave.
"Shes the reason it all started!" I looked to him.
"Dont blame Renaee for your dumb mistakes." He grabbed the door handle.
"I'm not! It's the truth. Promise!" I took his hand off the door.
"Prove it." His eyes filled with sincerity as he sat down on the bed.
I begun our story...
When I first met Renaee we had just won our first hockey game of the year. Flower had been so excited that his girl was coming to watch again this season. After the game we met Vero. She had brought a friend, so she didnt have to drive by herself. That's when I started believing in 'Love at first sight.' I was hit hard by cupids arrow. They then woud come up every weekend. Marc and Vero would hang out and so that left us. At first we were just friends, till one night I kissed her. I couldnt take it any longer. I hadnt seen her in 3 weeks! It turned out the reason she hadnt been up was cause she was at a different game, cheering for a different team. More specifically a different player, that wore the number 12, Simon Gagne. She had met him one night, he was then about 3 years older then me and 2 years older then Renaee. At first I thought she was just in it for the money, he was a good up an coming hockey player. The year they met he was going in to the draft. they dated through the summer, through training camp, and half of his first season with The Philadelphia Flyers. Then one night she came to me in tears. It absolutley killed me. He found someone down there, closer to him and his age. She was devastated!!! She stayed with me that night. Well one thing led to another and she ended up being my first. I was even more in love. It turned out that she was just a little drunk and looking for a rebound. She sure did find one. Since then she is all Ive wanted. I pushed myself to the brink to make sure I made it to the NHL. When I did, I thought maybe if even thought it was for the money, id be with her. She turned me down to say the least. Now, I do the same thing to girls that she did to me.
He didnt say anything. He just sat there in a 'awh' state.
"I'm...I.. didnt know. Im sorry I flipped. I didnt know it was that serious." He hugged me.
For once in my life, I felt at a ease. Even with the look in Sid and Marc's eyes, I didnt get the same affection.
"Thanks for understanding." I hugged him back.
"Anytime. Now I gotta call her and see why she wouldnt tell me. She told me everything else." He grabbed his stuff again and headed towards the door when I stopped him.
"Kris." I turned towards him.
"Yeah?" He turned around.
"Will you help me?" I pleaded.
"Well You know how she feels about Eric. You are going to have to wait for your chance. After HIM!!!!" He stressed.
"Okay." I fake smiled as he walked out the door.
'Why does everyone keep telling me that!!!'

chapter 6.
"So Katie what did you think of Max's fight?" Oksana asked.
"Oh I just hope he is okay."
The girls and I just laughed, It is funny how people talk about things when they dont know anything about the subject. When we made it to the lounge FSN was on. We sat down an watched as soon as we got to the couch. Then they zoomed in on us and the room went silent as I turned up the volume. Everyone gathered around as Bob started talking.
"After that Max Talbot fight Veronique as you may know has been linked to Marc-Andre, Kelsey linked to Kennedy, and Heather linked to Staal all hugged this young lady" He looked to Stagie after the video completed.
"Do you know who that could be?" He asked.
"Obviously she is linked to Talbo." Stagie added.
"We have Dan Potash with Max Talbot right now." Bob added. "Dan."
"So that fight didnt look to be for many reason's was something said or did we just miss the problem."
"Oh there was plenty of reason, and we have a history." He smiled.
"Max when you headed to the locker room after the fight, you looked up to the group of girls sitting in the family seats."
"yeah."
"Who were you looking at?" Dan asked.
"Well just some friends."
"Oh just a friend."
"Friends."
"Thanks for the interview Max."
"Yeah you to." He walked away.
I turned the TV down and everyone just looked at me. I sunk down into the couch to try and hide from the glares.
"I have got to go see him."
"Who?"
"Simon."
"Oh want us to go with you?"
"No thanks. I need to go alone. But thank you."
"Alright. Text if you need us."
Katie stopped me at the door.
"Are you with Max?" She looked upset.
"No I am not."
"Well they said.." I cut her off.
"Dont believe everything you hear." An walked down the hallway.
Outside the Flyers locker room, I noticed a bunch of girls sitting around.
they all turned to me. "Can I help you."
"yeah, I am a old friend of Simon's I was hoping I could talk to him."
"Oh, okay. I am his wife Karine." She held out her hand.
"Renaee."
"Oh from when he was in juniors."
"Yeah." I smiled.
"Let me go get him." she smiled back.
Ten minutes later we were sitting there catching up.
"So that fight. I am sorry."
"How could you be sorry. It wasnt your fault."
"Eh. I dont know."
"what do you mean?"
"Max still has this thing for me. He fought his teammate because of me."
"I didnt know that. He just dropped the golves and called me a pussy." He looked down. "I didnt know it was because of you. I just dropped the gloves."
"Yeah. I understand. Are you okay?"
"Yeah I am fine." He smiled. " So you met my wife. Did you meet my son?"
"No. I didnt even know you had a son."
"Matthew." He motioned to a little boy.
"Awhhh he looks just like you."
"Thank you. Not many say that."
"He does just like you did when you were younger."
"Thanks. Well I wish I would have known you were here. I would have found you earlier."
"Hahah I barley made it here in time to see the boys come out. It is girls night."
"ahh I see."
"Yupp it was pretty fun."
"So are you with Max?"
"Oh hell no. He has this blond waitress chick, but anyways, I am with. Well kind of with Eric Godard."
"Ah he is a good player. Good fighter to."
"Yeah. He is a nice guy."
"Well I better let you go, So you can be there when your guy comes out. An plus I gotta get my stuff together."
I laughed. " I am glad I came to see you. I will have to make sure that I say hi when we see each other again."
Yeah same here. Keep in touch and call if you need anything even just to talk to some one. Your still my 'nae nae'." I smiled. "bye." We hugged and he handed me his number. I waved as I walked down the hallway and placed the paper in to my jacket pocket.
Eric:
I finished showering then made my way to the lounge. I couldnt find Renaee anywhere. I walked over to the girls and asked if anyone had seen her.
"Yeah. She went to see Simon Gagne. She should be on her way back." Kelsey was the first to answer me.
"Why."
"Oh. You didnt know did you?" Kelsey asked.
"I'm so confused."
"She used to date him."
"Oh so that is the reason for the fight."
"Yeah."
"There she is." Heather pointed to the door.
I ran over to her and pulled her into a hug.
"What was that for?" She asked.
"Well I heard that this game kind of upset you a bit." I smiled. " So I got to make it better."
She couldnt help but smile.
"So what are you doing after everyone gets out here." I asked. "you up for Diesel?"
"You want to go to diesel?" She tilted her head.
"Yeah. Party with my girl." I smiled.
"Awhh well I am sorry I think we are going to Deja vu."
"Can I go with you?"
"well.. It is girls night. I'd LOVE for you to go. But they would all tell me off. But go party with YOUR FRIENDS for once."
"What is that supposed to mean."
"I was told that you dont go out and party EVER!"
"So.."
"Yeah."
"Ah. I dont know."
"Please. Go have fun."
"Okay. For you."
"Thank you." She smiled.
"Come on nae." Vero yelled. " Time to party."
"Awhh do you have to go."
"Yeah... Kind of but maybe I can see you later?"
"Yup. For sure. Just call me."
"Alright I will."

chapter 5
I was sitting in the back of the limo towards the driver with Kelsey. I had just gotten another glass of wine when Vero asked everyone to get quite.
"Guys this is Katie." She said pointing to the girl sitting next to her, then smiling down at me.
I tilted my head trying to figure out what was so great that deserved that kind of smile. I looked to Kelsey and she said just what everyone was wanting to say but didnt have the courage to do so.
"Who is she with?" Grabbing my hand in the process by then we were both thinking it had to be Max.
"She is with Max." Vero said causing everyone to look at me.
"What?" I shrugged, clinging glasses with Kelsey.
They all turned back to their conversations an then Vero returned back to her seat next to me.
"So how do you feel about it?"
"Bout what?"
"her."
"Oh. I dont know. That just makes things easier for me and Eric, cause now we dont have to deal with him."
"No Naee. Im going to be honest. The only reason that she is here is because of you."
"What?"
"He is trying to piss you off, and when he knows that you aren't he will ditch her after one night like all the other girls."
"Oh I see."
"Yeah. But apparently it doesnt bother you."
"No not at all."
"Damm i need a mirror." Kelsey looked around.
"Here use my phone." I dugg for it.
"Thanks." She smiled.
After she handed it back to me I noticed the red light blinking stating that I had a text message.
'Hey have fun with that.'
"Awh Eric." Kelsey leaned back out.
"yupp."
I texted him back saying 'I think we are out of the clear with Max, Some Katie girl is with us.'
Vero:
She took the news so well, I guess Max really didnt have a chance. I'm happy though it is good that she doesnt have to deal with him tonight. When we arrived at the restaurant all the girls waited outside the limo for Kelsey, Renaee and I to make are way out.
"You guys ready?" I asked. Half of them already a little bit tipsy.
They all followed behind me as we made are way in. The VIP room was all ready for us to go up, for I had called ahead. I could already tell that this was going to be a good night by the time everyone sat down and begun to talk.
Eric:
After a short skate we were all sitting in the lounge Tyler, Jordan, Mark, Matt, and I were all playing cards at a table near the wall when I asked TK what they were talking about earlier.
"Oh the Max thing."
"Yeah."
"He met some girl earlier. An I guess she was going to dinner with them."
"Oh so good for me or bad for me?"
"I dont know. If Renaee doesnt get pissed Id say both."
"He's trying to get her pissed then?"
"yeah. But if he knows it isnt working then its a guarantee that he will ditch her and try something else."
"Wow he doesnt know when to stop huh?"
"No defidently not."
"It's okay man. We are here for you." Mark and Cookie just smiled.
"Thanks guys." I laughed.
I went back into the locker room the only person in there was the person that I didnt want to see. I avoided him as much as possible then reached for my phone in my locker. She had texted me back and I had noticed him looking at me.
"What is that your girl?" He smirked.
"Is it your business?"
"Dude."
"what."
"I got a girl."
"Yeah so I heard."
"So why the anger?"
"Dude you were the one that came after me."
"I know, Im sorry."
"Okay."
I walked out without another word.
'yeah I just ran into him :x he said he was sorry.'
I went back over to the table where I had previously been playing cards.
"Guys Max just said he was sorry for coming at me the other day."
"Are you serious?" Staalsy asked.
"yeah."
"Woah."
Vero:
Dinner went so well. Everyone seemed to be having a good time. We all loaded up into the limo to head to the game when I noticed the time.
"Oh crap."
"what?" They all looked at me with confused looks as we pulled out of the parking lot.
"We are late."
"Oh my. Are you serious?" They all pulled out there phones to see that we only had 20 minutes till the game started.
"Hurry." Everyone yelled to the driver.
Luckily we ended up making it inside and to our seats just as the guys were coming downt he runway.
"Phew. I thought we werent going to make it." Renaee looked at me.
"Yeah. your telling me." Kelsey relaxed.
When we noticed that Katie was sitting with Geno's girlfriend Oksana we all started laughing.
"Well she picked a good crew didnt she." Kelsey laughed.
Jordan's Girlfriend Heather who I noticed was getting along great with Renaee at dinner came and sat by us. After seeing what we were laughing at she began laughing to.
It was halfway through the third when Sid tied it up. The third line was playing great like the past couple games. Out of all the 17,096 people in the arena I think that the loudest people had to be are group of girls. Some of us were either drunk or were getting there or just had a few to drink and didnt over do it and since the guys were playing great they didnt even try and hide it.
"Go Jordan, Go Jordan, Go Jordan." Heather yelled as he made a breakway and scored. Giving the pens the lead. With Three minutes left Max got in a fight with Simon. I looked over to Renaee just as Kelsey did.
"I cant believe him." I muttered.
"That was uncalled for." Heather added.
As he skated by to go to the locker room he looked up to me and winked.
"UHHH!!! He is so UHHH!!!!"
"It is okay girl." They all hugged me.
