Part 24

"Ouch." Brooklyn said taking a step back.
"Brooklyn I swear it's not what you think." Nicklas said stepping toward her.
"Right, Nicklas. Shes just in your bed now." she said biting her lip to keep back the tears. "I came here to apologize, to say it was all my fault, and that I was sorry for doing what I did and I was wrong for jumping to conclusions, but obviously I didn't jump to far from the truth."
"Wait. What do you mean 'doing what you did'?"
"For making out with Alexander, for almost letting him get his way." she said avoiding his eyes.
"Woah hell no. You didn't add that part." he said his mouth dropping open.
"Yeah well you didn't add you were sleeping with the puck slut thats been stalking you for the past 2 weeks!" she screamed now getting defensive.
"Excuse me Brooklyn, you're the one who hasn't stopped screaming long enough for me to tell you whats going on!"
"I don't need you to tell me." she said her voice almost in a whisper. "I've seen this before, you're just like Brody."
"Seriously." he said obviously angry. "That's what you think?"

All she could do was nod as a single tear ran down her cheek.

"Maybe we jumped into this a little to fast." she said looking at the ground.
"Yeah. Maybe we did." he responded his voice soft almost caring.

She nodded looked up at him and slowly walked into the neighboring room to join the Alexes. She shut the door behind her and slid her back down til her knees were once again to her chest. All three jumped when they heard the agruging in the next room.

"Bre leave now! I don't fucking care what they say, leave! Do you not know what you just did? Yeah I bet you're just fucking jolly about it! Get out! Now!"

"I've never heard him yell like that." A.O. said coming over to hold her in his masive arms.
"I no either, he quiet." Alexander added sitting cross-legged in front of them.
"What happend?" A.O. asked.
"We broke up."
"Oh no." Alexander said his eyes wide. "Why?"
"Why do you think, Alexander?" she whispered into A.O. shoulder. "He was hiding the fact Bre was in his bed. I've been cheated on, I'm not going through it again."
"What are you going to do?" A.O. said rubbing her arm.
"I don't know. I have a place in mind. I came here to get away from home and I guess being theres the only way I can get away from both."
"No, Brooklyn!" Alexander pleded. "You no leave now, playoffs soon. We need you."
"I'll be here for that, I promise. I just, I think I need a few days out of this city."
"Who are you staying with?" A.O. asked. "You can stay with me, I've got plenty of room."
"You know him, very well." Brooklyn said with a small laugh. "I grew up living next door to him, he's a really good friend, but you won't like him."
"Oh God, Canada. Who?"
"Sidney Crosby."
