A Part of the Team
Midnight Fights
"But what if the rest of the guys don't like it?"
"The only reason they wouldn't like him is if he was a total douche bag and you know stuff happens then we will have to do what all great brothers do and kick his ass. But if you want to a couple of my friends are single."
"See I think bringing a guy in you all would intimidate him so you know it may need to be a-"
The car screeched to a halt and went to the side and then Nealsy started screaming
"No, No you are not dating a hockey player. I wont have it they do not treat girls right and... and they cheat and lie and some of them even beat up women. I will not have it and neither will the guys. I would know they are arrogant bastards that get drunk he'll never be home. He will make babies then leave and hookup with another girl and I will not let that happen to you. Nope and what if we play them will you root for him or for us? Can you imagine how awkward it would be like oh yeah that guy right there has fucked my sister. Yeah nope, no hockey players for you its bad enough they look at you, now you're looking at them. We are going to have to lock you down in that goddamn penalty box."
"Hun, hun just calm down okay it was just an idea I will just have to be single for the rest of my life. And the only time I will ever be able to go to the bar is with 2 to 30 guys with me. But as long as you’re happy that’s all that matters in my life, right?"
The car was silent he drove to his house and into his garage. He opened his car door and you could tell he was pissed. He went through his door and into his house slamming the door behind him. So I sat in the car still thinking about my options do I run to a motel? The downside to that is he would feel horrible, he and everyone else would be looking for me all night, I could be kidnapped, and its a little over dramatic. Do I stay in the car? Then that would be weird, uncomfortable, and unhealthy. Do I go in his house? It would be weird, may make him pissed, and may seem like it didn't hurt me that he just left. Deciding I would stay in the car I laid down in my used to be beautiful dress and attempted at sleeping. I heard the car door open not being to sure I sat up to see Neal and I said
"if your mad at me-"
"its time to go to bed and I don't ever go to bed mad at anything cause it may not be there when I wake up. So come on, out of the car."
I slid out of the car and stood there thinking about how stupid I must have looked with tear stains down my face. Neal closes the car door and heads up this pair of steps to another door into the house he lead me to the guest bedroom with some clothes in the middle of the bed. He left the room and I closed the door to change I looked in the mirror and it wasn't as bad as I thought and in these huge basketball shorts and a big tank top I washed my face and went out to the hall to see no sign of Neal. So I ventured to find the kitchen and got a glass of water. I went to walk to my room before I felt a glare on me and I turned to see Neal looking at me from down the hall. I started walking towards him and he just stood there until I got to him. I stood right beside him I hugged him and I said
"You're going to break your promise. Not everything works out and maybe my life is not supposed to be about dating someone or everything falling into place. But it doesn't matter to me I just need to know that if I don't wake up someone will care."
I let go and started walking down the hallway and into the guest room I laid down in the bed and sat there just thinking. Then I heard a knock on the door so I walk over to it to see Neal with a pillow and blanket and he said
"Me and the guys would care if anything happens to you and I understand I was a little overprotective and was extremely too drunk to talk but I just want you to have the best. Now you got me all worried that you wont wake up tomorrow so I am sleeping in the guest room so you know if you don't wake up neither am I."
So he set up his mini bed next to the guest bed. I smiled and I said while turning the lights out "I love you Nealsy."
"Love you too Lyss."
I woke up and looked down to see Nealsy sleeping I decided to wake him up. He jumped at first but then said
“Hey babe.”
“Hey, what am I supposed to wear to the game.”
“Geno came by earlier and left some clothes for you. they are on the counter. We are going to go steal some breakfast at Pauly’s around 8am. What time do you have to be at the Consol?”
“Uh I usually like to be there around 10 so.”
“Okay, I guess I will just drive you in okay?”
I nodded and he said
“Okay I am just going to go back to sleep.”
I stepped over him and he said
“About last night-”
“Its gone, its done. Lets just forget it.”
I started to walk out of the door until he continued
“You can date who ever you want. But they do have to pass a series of test and hockey players get more test.”
I turned, smiled, and said
“Are you sure?”
He nodded and said
“Well I will tell you before the game guys that have the possibility of passing and you can just keep an eye on them.”
“Great now that's going to be a job check out guys on the ice. But thanks.”
We both smiled and I took a shower and changed into http://www.polyvore.com/untitled_91/set?id=107188132. By the time I straightened my hair it was around 8 and we walked to Pauly's and as soon as we walked in breakfast was ready and we all where talking about the game today against the Caps. When Nealsy left to use the bathroom Pauly said
“So I hear you had a long night last night.”
I nodded and said
“Well it matters which part.”
“You know he just wants the best for you right?”
“I guess its just like I should be able to date who ever I want to you know. But we talked it over so all is well.”
“Yeah but I mean I think that he knows what the life is like being a hockey player and I think he just wants better for you. But you are right you should date who you want.”
At that moment Nealsy came in and said
“we better leave so you're not late.”
I got up and said
“Bye Pauly see you later.”
“Bye Alyssa.”
We left from his house and got to the Consol Energy Center on time thank god. I unbuckled my seat belt and jumped out of the car. When I looked back I said
“Bye Nealsy.”
“See you later Lyss. Don't work too hard.”
I smiled and said
“I will try not to.”
I closed the door and walked in basically what I have to do is study the team roster for the other team and just set everything up for the day ahead. I walked around with Coach Dan a little then he went to a meeting so I basically took the time to buy dry erase boards and made a spreadsheet for all of them and its is basically one for every team mate asking if they needed anything and what they did need. Tomorrow we are leaving to face the Florida Panthers so I had to think of all the stuff I had to pack so just in case I could leave quick in case Geno had plans for the evening.
“Hey Alyssa the meeting is starting soon.”
I stood up and followed John to the Med room for safety procedures and cautions during the game. I am really excited for the Florida trip cause we have a day off at the beach, but today’s game is the one I am nervous for because I heard there is always fights. Which I don't mind until someone gets hurt, then for some reason I think I am the hulk and get extremely pissed. I learned that I have to keep my cool so the guys can do the same. By the time I got to the ice everyone was out there so I went to try and cross the ice then Coach stopped me and said
“The ref will come to get you, stay put.”
I huffed at the fact I can't even cross the ice by myself. The ref came over and held out his arm I grabbed it and I leaned over and said
“You know you don't have to do this.”
I got to the box and saw this tall guy in my box I looked across the ice at Dan and motioned to the guy and he shook his shoulders. So I open the door and say
“Excuse me sir, who are you?”
He said
“I am security.”
Expressionless I replied
“For the box? Excuse me I know this may sound rude, but... if you could just please exit.”
He gave me a questionable look and I opened the door and he said
“But I need a job.”
“Go... a.... go protect the bench.”
He walked past me and to the bench and Coach gave me a weird look and I shrugged my shoulders.
"The only reason they wouldn't like him is if he was a total douche bag and you know stuff happens then we will have to do what all great brothers do and kick his ass. But if you want to a couple of my friends are single."
"See I think bringing a guy in you all would intimidate him so you know it may need to be a-"
