Will Our Love Survive? (Filip Forsberg fanfic)

Chapter 1: Alexis's James Neal Impersonation and Locker Room Antics

Alexis's POV
I shivered as I walked down a long hallway to the Preds locker room, pulling my warm sweater tightly around me.
I opened the heavy wooden door and stepped inside. "Sup Lexi?" James Neal asked giving me a high five.
"Hi Nealer. I'm pretty good." I replied smiling. Suddenly, somebody picked me up and hugged me. I laughed, immediately knowing who it was.
"Shea, put me down." I said. Yes, I know Shea Weber, captain of the Preds. On the ice, he looks very serious, but off it, Shea has the maturity of a two year old.
He laughed and then gently set me down on the ground. "Sorry, just happy to see you." Shea said as he put his hockey gear on. I rolled my eyes and lightly punched him on the arm.
Shea just laughed and went back to putting on his gear. "Shea, you are such a child." Pekka Rinne said as he threw his helmet at Shea's head.
Shea turned around and glared at him.
"Hey! I am not a child! I'm twenty nine for crying out loud!" He exclaimed throwing the helmet back at Pekka.
Pekka laughed and caught it saying "Yeah, but you sure don't act like it."
Shea turned beet red, making me burst out laughing. "Pekka, that was so great. Shea just got his self esteem lowered. Nice going" James said laughing. "Shut up!" Shea mumbled as he strapped on his helmet.
"What did I miss?" A voice asked from the doorway. I turned around and a huge smile broke out onto my face.
Standing no less than two feet away was my best friend on the whole team, Filip Forsberg, the rookie.
I ran over and gave him a huge hug.
"Hey Fil." I said. "Hey Alexis." He said with a light chuckle. I pulled away from him and sat down on the bench next to James. Filip stepped inside the room and sat down at his spot on the bench, immediately putting on his gear. "So, do you guys think you're ready for the big game tonight?" I asked. The Preds were playing the Chicago Blackhawks, their rivals.
"Yeah, I think our defense and offense have improved and hopefully we'll beat them tonight" James said.
"Guys, I want to show you all my impersonation of James on the Beneath The Ice thing you guys did" I said. "I have to see this" Shea said laughing. "Well, the first day I didn't lock my door, and this guy is just full of energy like every second of the day to the minute he wakes up right to the minute he goes to bed so, the first day I didn't lock my door and he's in my room hitting me with a pillow like a seven year old the first day" I said in my best James voice. Shea, Pekka and Filip all clapped very loudly after I finished. "That was so good!" Pekka said smiling. "Is that what I sound like to people?" James asked his face bright red. "Pretty much" I replied.
"I'm sorry James" I said giving him a hug. He laughed lightly and said" It's ok Lex. I know it was a joke"
I let out a yawn, feeling very tired as I didn't get enough sleep last night.
"Awww, is someone sleepy?" Roman asked. "Yeah, didn't get enough sleep last night" I replied as my eyelids started to get droopy. The last thing I saw before I passed out was someone pulling me into their lap.

Filip's POV
I watched in horror as James pulled Alexis 's head onto his lap.
Stop it! James is a very great guy and you know he wouldn't do that to you, I thought. The thing is,I really like Alexis. Like a lot. She's a really good friend and will help me with any problem I have. But, she probably doesn't feel the same. Well, I guess this a secret I have to keep to myself then.

(Practice time)

Shea's POV
I'm worried about Filip.
He seemed very off during practice today. Filip's never usually like this, he's usually very focused during practice. He's probably just tired, I thought. I can't blame him though. The Preds have been doing lots of traveling to and from Nashville.
We just got back from a game at Toronto yesterday. We won 9-2, but I'm so exhausted. Hockey is a very tiring job. You have to travel all the time and don't get much sleep.
We did have a day off yesterday and slept in. It was a very well needed one, trust me. Peter, our coach, blew his whistle, signaling that practice was over. Then the team and I skated back to the locker room to rest.
"Great job at practice today boys" Mattias Ekholm said. We all changed into our normal clothes and headed out. "Hey guys, how was practice?" Alexis, who was waiting outside, asked. "It went well. I think we are ready for the game tonight" Pekka replied. "Great! Now, let's all get a bite to eat because I don't know about you guys, but I'm freaking starving! I think I'm going to die from lack of food if we don't hurry up" Alexis said.
"Let's go then" Filip said smiling.
And with that, we were off.
