"Mom, Dad, do you think we can go to the arena, So I can see him before I leave?"

"yeah"

We got to the arena, I was walking down the stand making sure I didn't fall. Then I heard clapping, I look down at the ice, All the guys were clapping. I smiled, out my head down, and when I got to the bottom Sidney was there.

"what are you doing here?"

"I wanted to see you before I lefted." I said "Sidney, I don't wan to go home."

"you got to"

"I'll be fine by myself"

I nodded, and went to found out what room she was in, then went there.

I looked into the room. I seen her sitting in the bed, playing with her blanket, with her head down. i took one step into the room, she looked up. I looked into her beautiful blue eyes. i barely notice her busted lip and cut above her eye, and the busies on her face. Her blue eyes started to fill with tears. i walked up to her. I held her hand.

"I would say don't cry but you been though alot baby" She put her hands around my neck very lightly.

He covered my mouth again. I screamed into his hand and bit him. he moved his hand.

"bitch" I took off running. but he grabbed me, and throw me up against the wall by my neck.

"let go of me"

"no"

"what do you want?"

"Brittany, you know what I want" he said grabbing my hips.

"let go" he started to unbutton my shirt. I hit him, and kept pushing him away. i tarted to cry.

"Stop it" I said he punch me across the face. I fall to the ground.

"get up" he yelled

"no"

"now" he kicked me and then again. I stayed there, trying to catch my breath.

"fine, you want it that way" he said getting on the ground, gabbing me to put me up straight. i screamed when he touch me.

"help! help!"

"shut up" he hit. I was crying my eyes out.

"why don't you leave me alone?"

"i love you Britt, you know how hard it is to found you I thought you never leave you parents, and I know you still love me."

"no you don't'. and I love someone else."

"who that hockey boy"

I didn't say anything, and thought about Sidney, maybe he would come after me or try to find me.

"Sidney" I whisper

He ripped my shirt off me. he started to unbutton my pants. I tired to kick him but he stopped me. I felt blood run down my face, and I could taste it on my lips.

"I said shut up" The slapped me across the face. then I felt him get lifted off of me.


Sid's POV

I came out of the arena, with Max, Marc, Jordan, and Geno, with my bag on my shoulder. Thinking if i should got to Brittany's or not. I heard a light scream, must just be the fans, The I heard it again, and it wasn't a fans. i stepped on something. I looked down it was Brittany's bag. I Bent over and picked it up. then I dropped mine and her bag, and ran down the parking lot.

"Sid" Marc yelled I stopped when I saw a guy over Brittany, he was trying to unbutton her pants.

"I said shut up" he said slapping her, that when I grabbed him by the shirt off of her. i slammed him into a wall.

"what the hell is wrong with you?" I yelled

I looked down at Brittany who was trying to lift her head and open her eyes, it broke my heart to see her like that. the I looked at him, the back at her, then back at him.

"your kyle" he nodded I punch him, again, and again

"hows it feel to get punched by someone bigger than you huh?" he punched me then i punched him. I kept punching him when someone grabbed my arm and Geno and Jordan held Kyle back.

"Sid Dude stop."

"you asshole, how could you."

"Sid we got him, Brittany needs you." Max said

"let me tell you, as long as I'm around and in her life, you'll never go anywhere near her."

I let go of him, and went over to Brittany. i put one hand on the back of her hand on the back of her neck and lifted her up a little. I put my hand or her side she gasped.

"sorry" I choked

She shook her head she has a cut above her, and a blood lip. I took the blood off her head.

"It's okay, now I gotcha ya." I puled her close

"Sidney" she whisper

"yeah, baby"

"it hurts"

"I know, I;mm gonna get you help" I said holding back tears.

"V call 911"

"okay" she did

"here" I said taking off my jacket and wrapping it around her.

With in ten minutes they were there. They took Brittany to hospital and kyle went to jail. I told the cops what I saw. Then I follow them to the hospital.

Chapter 36

When the game was over. We went to the locker room. Vero went up to find Marc, I just was standing there looking losted, thinking what should I do, maybe I should just leave. I turned around, I stood there still not knowing what to do. When I felt someone grab my shoulder. i turned around. It was Sid.

"hey" he said

"hey"

"ahhumm" he said

"great game" I said

"thanks, I'm glad you came"

"me too"

"Brittany" he grabbed my hand "I'm not going to lie, I'm still upset with you for not telling me, but I love you."

"I love you too, but please don't be mad at me."

"Britt, how could you not tell me?"

"I don't know"

"Brittany"

"I don't know, why?"

"you could have been hurt." he said grabbing my arms

"I know" i put my head down

"Brittany....I" he run his hand thought his hair."I don't know what to say."

"please don't be mad at me, it's killing me not talking to you."

"and you don't think it's killing me."

"I love you Sid, I'm tired of fighting."

"me too"

"and I know your upset, and you might be for a while, but I just want to talk, kiss hold you in my arms again." he didn't say anything.

"Sidney?" he grabbed me and kissed me. the first time he kissed me in almost two weeks.

"I love you"

"then can you don't be mad at me anymore?"

"I don't know"

"well when you do know tell me." I started to walked away he grabbed my arm.

"Brittany"

"no"

"babe"

"don't call me that, right now, I just want to go home and think. Why can't you just not be upset anymore?" I kissed him on the cheek, and walked away.

I walked out of the arena(where the player leave) to a dark parking lot, trying not to cry. When I felt someone put their hand over my mouth I jumped, dropped my bag and he put his other arm around me, me carried Me to the back of the parking lot. I tried to get out but his arm was very tight around me. He held me against the wall. Still with his hand over my mouth he came in front of me, and removed his hand I screamed.

Chapter 35

Sid’s POV

I went to the rink, after I left the café. The last thing wanted to do was fight with Brittany, but she could have been hurt, if it was him, and if she can’t tell me something that important, how are we supposed to be together. I am mad at her.

I was shooting pucks, skating around, I could be back in the game in a week. I was doing laps trying to get my mind off of Brittany, but it wasn’t working. I turned the bends when I saw Max coming out of the locker room.

“hey” he said

“hey, how‘d you know I was here.”

“you were upset, I kinda though you‘d be shooting pucks”

“I‘m not upset”

“yeah, right”

“did you talk to her?”

“no, but I saw her, she was crying.”

I didn’t want her to cry, but how could she not tell me.

“dude, I don‘t know who this Kyle dude is but I don’t think she would have cheated on you.”

“what! You think she cheated on me, no dude no it was something else…. I can’t tell you.”

“oh”

“where is she now?”

“her place, you going to see her?”

“no”

“why?”

“because, I‘m still mad at her, she could have been-- never mind.”

Here was a game that night I went. I asked Brittany to came earlier that day. I kinda figured she wouldn’t come , but I didn’t blame her. Then heard I light knock. I looked at the doorway. Brittany was standing there. You could tell she been crying. I waved for her to come in. She sat down next to me. I was still upset with her, but I do love her.

“Sidney, I‘m sor--”

“no”

“what?”

“I don’t‘ want to talk about it right now.”

“Then when”

“I don‘t know, but not now”

We sat there the whole game, we barely talked when the game was over, we just stood there.

“I should get going” she said


“Okay” I lightly kissed her cheek. She looked up at me then quietly looked down, and walked away.



Britt’s POV

I got home I couldn’t stop thinking about Sidney. I get why he’s mad at me, but we sat through that whole game, not even talking, and it took me everything to go.

That night I hardly got any sleep. I was tossing , and turning.

Two days later, Sidney was in his first game back. He did text me the day before. That all we heard from each other. I sent him a text before a game like I’ve been doing for months I said good luck all he said was “thanks”, he always say “thank babe”.

I sat at home, and watched the game by myself.

A week later, we were still barely talking, and its killing me. I haven’y seen him in days. Tonight was a home game, and I’m going I was sitting with Vero.

“you and Sidney talking yet?”

“no…………I don‘t know what I‘m even doing here.”

“well you love him, he’s your boyfriend”

“but we haven‘t talked in a week”

“you guys are gonna be fine.”

The team got on the ice. Sidney looked up at us. He waved, I waved back.
