The One That Got Away (Pt 2-3)

~~~ My POV ~~~

It was around four in the morning. My phone started to go off. It was Crawford. Got dammit, I really don’t want this right now.

“Hello?” I groaned.

“Did I wake you?”

“Yes you did.” I laughed.

“Oh I’m sorry. I just wanted to tell you that we just now landed. Oh and Taylor’s here. She’s already torturing us.”

“Tell her I said to stop being a bitch and go home.”

“Who’s that?” Emery asked.

“What?”

“Nothing! Nothing.” I answered quickly.

“Is someone there with you?”

“Uh, no. it’s just me. That was the… the TV.”

“But- okay never mind. I’ll call you after the game tomorrow. Night baby girl.”

“Night baby.” I sighed then hanged up the phone.

“Oh that was Crawford?” Emery laughed.

“That’s not funny! I could have gotten into trouble.” I rolled my eyes.

“I’m sorry.” Emery pouted.

“Ugh, I’m going back to sleep.” I rolled my eyes.

~~~ 11 a.m. ~~~

I decided to go hang out with Sarah today. Go shopping for some gear and some other good stuff. And plus, I want to hang out with her before she leaves to go to the academy. I was parked outside her house, honking the horn. Either this crazy bitch is deaf or she’s still trying to put makeup on. Ugh, this is one reason why I don’t wear makeup. Oh yeah! She did tweet a picture that she got a new haircut too. I didn’t see it because well, I didn’t want to look like an idiot laughing at a computer screen. But you know! If it’s weird looking, I will laugh at her. I was meeting up with Sarah in front of the Blackhawks store. So much fucking walking, even though, I live 10 minutes away from it. I still hate walking. I despise it!

“Hey love!” Sarah smiled giving me a hug.

“Hey sweet cheeks!” I smiled.

“How are you and the unborn baby?” She asked.

“Fine actually. I’m getting my ultrasound next weekend I think.” I said.

“Without Corey?” Sarah gasped.

“Well I’ll webcam him.” I laughed.

“That’s good! But you know, what if there’s no internet!?” Sarah thought.

“Hey, shut up.” I glared.

“Clam down.” Sarah rolled her eyes.

“How are you and Kris?” I asked, opening up the door to Subway.

I’m starving, don’t judge me.

“I don’t know Jammy… I don’t know. It’s not getting better, I really thought it was but it’s really not. And I don’t want to lose him.” Sarah sighed.

“Oh my! What happened?!” I gasped.

“He told me that I have to choose between us or the academy.” Sarah said.

“He can’t break up the Sharp couple though. That can’t happen!” I shook my head.

“Not that, Kris and myself.” Sarah laughed.

“Ugh! You need a job! Why is he acting like an asshole?!” I rolled my eyes.

“It’s Kris… he won’t even cut his hair.” Sarah gagged.

“Ew he still has that nasty ass hair?”

“Yes.”

“I’m so sorry that you have to look at that everyday.” I said sarcastically.

“I’m sorry you have to deal with Crow’s facial hair.” Sarah laughed.

“Ugh! I hate that! I told him SO many times to cut it and he never listens to me. I feel like I’m kissing a fucking squirrel.” I rolled my eyes.

“Oh my god… did you really kiss a squirrel???” Sarah gasped.

“No you idiot.” I said smacking her on the arm.

“ABUSE!” Sarah yelled pointing.

This bitch….

“Mind y’all business! She’s not getting hurt. Yet…..” I glared right back at Sarah.

“You know it’s true!” Sarah whispered.

“You’re lucky we’re in a damn Subway….” I said.

“You’re pregnant though! You can’t fight!” Sarah laughed.

“Ugh, you’re annoying.” I laughed getting up and leaving.

“WAIT! Don’t leave!” Sarah jumped, eating the last piece of her Philly streak.

“Okay! Where do we go now?!” I asked.

“Um, do you want to go to…? Chick-Fil-A?!” Sarah suggested.

“We just ate. No.” I laughed rolling my eyes.

“Okay what about the Pier?” Sarah smiled big.

“Are pregnant people allowed?” I cocked my head.

“Yeah you’re defiantly not allowed in the Pier because you’re pregnant.” Sarah glared.

“I was just asking!” I yelled.

“Come on.” Sarah laughed jumping into the car.

“Ugh, I have to drive. Wonderful.” I mumbled.

~~~ Corey’s POV; Kings Locker room at morning skate ~~~

“Does anyone know why Emery didn’t come?” I asked.

“He talks!” Stalberg laughed.

“Yeah you’re funny.” I glared.

“I know I am. But he said that he had to stay back or something like that.” Stalberg said.

“How come?” I asked.

“Because coach said that we needed you to keep you’re A-game so he had to keep Emery back.” Sharp said.

“Damn, watch me get booed by Hawks fans tonight…” I mumbled.

Then the unexpected thing happened…. I mean it’s not even game time and she’s here.

“Well, well, well,” Taylor said walking in the locker room.

The amount of groans in the room…

“If it isn’t The Hawks…. How was your 9 game losing streak?” Taylor smirked.

“Really…Taylor… Really?” Kane mumbled.

“I heard you cheated on your girlfriend with a skank at the bar.” Taylor pointed.

“Oh shit…” Sharp mumbled.

“Did you know that your buddy over there got your ex-fiancé pregnant? Or was it Bieksa… I wonder if it was Bieksa.” Taylor laughed looking at Sharp.

“Don’t come over here, don’t come over here.” I said in my head.

“CRAWFORD!” Taylor turned around.

“Fuck”

“What?” I rolled my eyes.

“I hope you get pulled tonight.” Taylor winked.

“Who is this chick?” Scott rolled his eyes.

“Don’t worry about me. Worry about how you haven’t had any goals since 2009.” She rolled her eyes.

“Guys, this is Taylor… Jamila’s best friend…” Kane mumbled.

“Yeah you better introduce me.” Taylor said flipping her hair.

“Can you leave now?” I asked pointing to the door.

“Nope. I just have ONE more thing to say to all of you, you’re in Kings Territory tonight. Not your little ‘Madhouse on Madison’ so good luck. OH! And don’t try anything stupid. I know your GM.” Taylor smirked.

“Wait weren’t you at the home opener? With my jersey on?” Duncan thought.

“Yes, you’re like the only Hawk I can tolerate. Well and Stalberg. But the others, no.” She laughed.

“Okay Taylor you can leave now!” I yelled.

“Alright, alright, I’m leaving. But get used to hearing this after the game, “Great Save by Quick’ see ya on the ice.” Taylor said, and then left.

“She reminds me of the Sedin Twins, annoying as fuck.” Bolland said.

Everyone in the locker room started laughing.

“I wish you would say that too my face.” Taylor said popping her head back through the door.

“My girlfriend needs new best friends.” I laughed.

~~~ Taylor’s POV ~~~

“Okay well, that was fun!” I said walking back into the Kings locker room.

“What did you do?” Dustin asked right away.

“Oh you know… just the original pep talk. Go out there and have fun! That type of talk.” I lied.

“You’re just a pretty little lair.” Dustin laughed.

“I love that show!” I smirked, giving him a kiss.

“Hey, none on that.” Williams said.

“Ugh! Come on!” I groaned banging my fist on the bench.

“I need to like, get a personal locker room.” Dustin thought.

“Yes, yes you should.” I said.

And then Richards and Carter walked in… oh great…

“You’re blocking my stall.” Carter said walking over to me.

“That’s my problem because….?” I shook my head.

“You need to move.” Carter explained.

“No you need to watch your mouth.” I said.

“Why are you so rude to traders? I will never understand that.” Richards said.

“As you can see, I don’t like the Flyers, except Jagr. He’s amazing, but you two, will NEVER get on my good side. Back talk me again, I’ll have you fired.” I pointed.

“I love it how everyone pisses off my wife…. I go home with that you know!” Dustin glared.

“I feel bad for you.” Carter said.

I slapped Crater in his face, “Say something again I will have you gone. Number 77.”

Then I left the room. I need to make a phone call!

“This is Rachel.”

“Hey baby cakes.”

“You sound mad. Who made you mad?”

“Carter and Richards.”

“I LOVE THEM!”

“Of course you do…”

~~~ Ashley’s POV in Virginia ~~~

.... I do love you! I just miss you so much. Can we start over? That will make me feel so much better. Leave your girlfriend. She doesn’t love you like I do.

Call me? ;)

-Bethany.

“I love it how you name it from Bethany. That’s an old ass name.” James said.

“What’s your excuse?” I cocked my head.

“I don’t have one! But you know, what you’re doing is wrong.” James thought.

“I don’t care. I don’t want her with Crawford.” I rolled my eyes.

“Okay so… Kat and Sarah don’t want her with Bieksa, and you don’t want her with Bieksa? What the hell is up with girls….?” James mumbled.

“James, I know what I’m doing. It’s fine, just shut up.”

“Rude.” James said.

“Can you pass me my lipstick and perfume?” I asked.

“No.” James replied.

“PASS IT!” I yelled.

“You’ve changed so much.” James thought.

“You should really tell me how I changed.” I said, fairly amused at his comments.

“You’re just like Kat and Sarah, always wanting to ruin SOMEONE’s relationship.” James glared.

“No… no that’s mostly me. Now shut up and get out.” I rolled my eyes going back to decorating the letter.

~~~ Kristen’s POV in New Jersey ~~~

Only a couple hours… and Kat is annoying the hell out of me. I don’t know how it feels to be single for like… 3 days, but I can tell that if you’ve been dating someone for like a really, really long time once they cheat on you, but damn…I just can’t… damn man. I was really hoping she was gonna stay in Chicago with Punk, BUT I guess he decided to fly her here. Where it was nice and quiet… bastard.

“Is she still crying?” Punk whispered.

“Yeah, I never knew someone can cry for 2 hours straight…”

“I want to watch Degrassi! BUT IT’S NOT ON! Kane and I used to watch Degrassi during the offseason and after we have sex.” Kat cried.

“Well… that’s not weird at all.” I said.

“I used to call Kane weird.” Kat pouted.

“Kill me now.” Punk groaned.

“I used to yell that in bed.” Kat whimpered.

“Kat! STOP!” Punk yelled.

“No! You two love each other! I don’t have anyone to love anymore!” Kat yelled back.

“Look, I know you’re upset, but telling us every little detail about what you and Kane did is starting to make me throw up. A lot.” I said.

“You don’t have any sympathy do you?” Kat pouted.

“I don’t! I don’t know about Krissie, but I sure as hell don’t have any.” Punk shrugged.

That made Kat cry even more.

“Nice going dumbass!” I rolled my eyes.

“Hey, just saying the truth…” Punk said.

“Well you said it wrong!” Kat mumbled into the pillow.

“We can go out for dinner!” I randomly suggested.

“I hate being the third wheel. I’m not going anywhere.” Kat said.

“I can invite someone! You’re very familiar with him!” I jumped.

“Who?” Punk thought.

“Justin.” I whispered.

“Oh that South Atlantic guy who flips…” Punk nodded his head.

“Justin?” Kat wondered.

I’m surprised she knew.

“Yes him. We’re going to Magianos!” I jumped.

“Oh god… we’ve been there so many times.” Punk rolled his eyes.

“Well we’re going again. Kat didn’t go there yet! So we’re taking her.” I ordered.

“Yay!” Kat jumped.

“Ugh, no.” Punk glared.

~~~ Little after 6:30 ~~~

“Punk can you get the door please?” I yelled from the bathroom while I was doing my make-up.

“How do I look?” Kat asked walking into my room.

“Well don’t you look pretty?” I smiled.

“It’s Justin’s favorite dress. I wore this on our first date.” Kat said.

“You’re nervous.” I assumed.

“Yes, I haven’t seen him since… well, I don’t know.” She sighed.

“Don’t worry, everything will be fine!” I said giving her a hug.

“Ugh, I’m not ready.” Kat pouted.

“Hun, you’re single. Stop overthinking yourself.” I rolled my eyes.

“Girls let’s go! I’m hungry!” Punk shouted.

“Let’s go!” Kat jumped leaving the room.

“Well damn…” I cocked my head.

When we came downstairs, Kat and Justin locked eyes so fast it was unbelievable. Either…. She misses him or, he was just dying to see her. I don’t even know, but this dinner better be good!

~~~ Sarah’s POV ~~~

Jammy just dropped me off at home, I’m really, REALLY, don’t want to be here right now. Because I know that Kris is going to be pissed and wants to know what I’m choosing. I don’t want to choose between my boyfriend and my career. That’s just plain ignorant. When I opened the door, the lights were dimmed… there were rose pedals heading upstairs to the bedroom. It’s probably a trick to keep me here. I’m not changing my mind. I know what I’m gonna do. I started heading upstairs, following the rose pedals. Kris was standing on top of the steps, I was still confused on what was he doing.

“What is all this?” I asked, smirking a little bit.

“You know I love you right?”

“You haven’t shown it lately.”

“I do love you. But not seeing you for half of the summer is gonna kill me.” Kris thought.

“Yeah I know. But I told you already, I will call you every Friday. You’re making it seem like I’m gonna be out of your life forever.” I sighed.

“I just don’t want to lose you. Look Sarah, I love you, and when you leave, I’m just gonna go insane. I talked to my parents and asked them how was it like being far apart from each other when it was like father son or mother son trips, they said it wasn’t that big. They missed each, but they still love each other.” Kris explained.

“What are you saying?” I asked, looking into his eyes.

“I’m saying two things. Sarah, if you decide to go to the academy, I will,” He let out a huge sigh then continued “I will support you. Every step of the way.”

“What’s the other thing?” I asked.

Kris then, got on one knee.

“Sarah will you marry me?”

I started to choke up. I didn’t know what to say. He’s been a douche to me for the past week and a half.

“I’m sorry.” I said beginning to cry and running into the bathroom.

I don’t want to do this. I can’t. I just don’t know how to tell him.

~~~ My POV ~~~

I was getting ready to watch the Hawks game. I hate let games. Curse California and their pacific time zone. I had on Crawford’s home jersey that he left here, that’s good luck right? I hope it is. I was also wearing my sweatpants that Crawford got for me. It’s the PINK sweatpants from Victoria’s Secret. I love PINK. My food was in the microwave warming up, I love that Corey made food before he left. So thoughtful. By the time my food was heating up and getting ready to beep, the puck has already been dropped. Well damn, they can’t even wait till I sat down first? Sheesh. I was so amused by the commentators. They said that Corey Crawford is gonna be an upcoming dad… Well I was thinking probably step dad... but you know, whatever works for them. But dad would be rather amazing. I haven’t talked to Kevin ever since my party… but I heard he’s doing well. I wonder how good… but anyway, it’s been 6 minutes of the game already and they’re doing the ‘Go Kings, Go.’ Chant… that is annoying.

“Hey beautiful.” Emery whispered in my ear.

“GOD!” I screamed jumping from the couch.

“Did I scare you?” He smiled.

“Don’t do that! Especially when I’m pregnant you idiot!” I yelled.

“I’m sorry.” He laughed kissing me on the cheek.

“Don’t touch me.” I glared.

“Oh it’s like that now?” Emery glared.

“Yes it is.” I said focusing back on the TV.

“You know you liked it.” He whispered.

“No I didn’t. I lied.” And I’m still lying. I fucking loved it.

“You’re just saying that just to make me leave.” Emery shook his head.

“I am! Now shut up!” I rolled my eyes.

It was about 30 seconds of quietness until Ray decides to pick me up, and put me on top of him.

“Ray stop! I’m not playing!” I struggled.

“You should really stop struggling.” Emery laughed.

“Stop!” I yelled trying to let go of his grip.

“Stop struggling!” He shouted trying to take my jersey off.

“EMERY STOP!” I just kept repeating, but he didn’t stop.

“Alright, I’ll stop. God.” He said pushing me off him.

“Don’t push me you fucktard.” I rolled my eyes.

“Whatever.” Emery said looking back at the TV.

For a pregnant chick, I really do have a sudden mood change every time. I totally just gave it. I needed sex now. I just took the jersey off, got on top of Ray and started kissing him. What the hell am I doing? I just betrayed Crawford… AGAIN. I think there’s something wrong with me.

“Upstairs?” He thought.

“Yes.” I said biting my bottom lip.

Ray picked me and took me upstairs. Didn’t even bother closing the door. I mean how else has key’s here? No one! So we just kept the door open. Ray started kissing me all over and started taking my pants off. Ugh, I’m gonna end up regretting this, but he’s amazing in bed. I got back on top of him and started to straddle him. But then…

“Jammy?!?”

That really scared me; I almost fell off the bed. That would have been embarrassing. I looked over and it was Sarah… I thought she was home?

“This isn’t what it looks like!” I said trying to catch my breath.

“Bro! You’re cheating on Crawford! WITH HIS BEST FRIEND!” Sarah yelled.

My god my life is over…
