Break the Ice

I woke up early the next morning.
I was still laying in bed but decided to check my phone....
10 Messages.
Jeez do people ever shut up?

I went through them...5 from Jordan. 1 from Brittany. 1 from Flower. 2 from Tyler. And 1 from Luke.

Jordan's were repetitive...."Call me..." and "Call me...." and "Call me...." and "Stop ignoring me...." and "Call me..."
Delete, delete, delete, delete, and delete.

Brittany's message actually surprised me. Well, the fact she called at all surprised me.... "Hey Nicki. I'm sorry. Don't blame your brother, okay. It just sorta happened. Well, I have to go. See you at practice today? Anyways, bye."

Flower was asking if we were gunna hang out after practice like usual. Along with Tyler's two messages.

Luke just wanted to say he got into Toronto, and that Jared was an idiot, that he was watching his every move on the flight.
I laughed at the last one.

I got ready a little bit later, and had attempted to make breakfast by the time Sidney got out of bed.

"Oh God Nicki. Did you burn the house down....cuz I smell food."
"Haha, actually no I didn't. I made toast though...." I smiled at Sid.
"Gimme some," He laughed and grabbed a piece of toast, "Then we have to head to practice."
"Mhmmm...."

We finished eating, then left for practice.

I avoided Jordan even after Brittany's message.
I avoided Brittany as well.....
Practice went as normal....but with a lack of people to talk to.

After Practice....

"So Nicki..." Flower asked, walking out of Mellon arena.
"Yeah?" [Me]
"You hanging out with me and Sid?" [Flower]
"Yeah....." [Me]
"What'cha wanna do...?" [Flower]
"Shopping!" I smiled with a glitter in my eye.
"Oh God..." Sidney sighed.

We took Sidney's car to the mall, and as soon as we entered, the guys could sense their doom.

"So, why are we shopping with you?" Marc asked cautiously.
"Cuz I'm still mad at Brittany..." I replied in a strait tone.
"Why...? You still haven't told me the reason...."
I just shook my head, "It's nothing."
"Uhmmm, okay then..."
"Yeah."

It was a normal afternoon...nothing out of the ordinary.

That night the Pens did have a game.
They were playing the Flyers...
Everyone's favourite team.

I walked down to my normal seat. And within minutes Brittany was sitting beside me.

"Hey." She said, smiling slightly.
"Hello..." I still wasn't in the brightest of moods.
"You know nothings happening between me and Jordan. We're just friends."
"Now you say that..." you rolled your eyes.
"Come on Nicki. Don't tell me you've never made a mistake."
"I'm sorry. I have made a mistake before," I replied sourly.
"Sorry, Nicki, kay. I'm sorry. And Jordan's going physco without you."
I looked over and say the sincerity in her face.
"Okay." A smile smile crossed my lips.
A few minutes later the Penguins skated onto the ice for warm ups.
Jordan looked up at me with a little pout across his face.
I closed my eyes tightly. He knew that his puppy-dog pout always got to me. When I opened my eyes he was laughing lightly, standing at the bench.
He mouthed over 'Sorry.'
And I mouthed back, 'Fine.'

The Penguins ended up losing...4-3 in OT.

I waked down to the locker room and Jordan greeted me by picking me up.
"NICKI! Does that mean you'll move back in?!"
I paused before replying....
