Will Our Love Survive? (Filip Forsberg fanfic)

Chapter Two: The Big Game and Flying to Tampa

Alexis's POV
I watched in anticipation as the Nashville Predators and the Chicago Blackhawks battle for the puck.
My heart leaped in excitement when Filip got the puck and skated to the goal with Patrick Sharp and Jonathan Towes right on his heels. I screamed in joy when Filip hit the puck straight into the goal. The whole arena broke out into a chant. "Hey! Hey! You suck! Hey, Hey, You suck! We're gonna beat the heck out of you!" I smiled as Filip hugged Shea, James, Paul and the other players. He than skated over to the bench and fist bumped the other players. I caught eyes with him and he winked at me. I laughed and continued cheering along with the crowd. The game was off to a very great start. The Preds were leading 4-2 and I am very proud.
(the end of the game)

James's POV
A smile broke out onto my face as we skated on the ice, holding our sticks up in the air. We had beaten the Blackhawks 6-3. That was a very tough game, but it was fun. We skated back into the locker room and got changed.
Then, we all headed back to the hotel. Everyone said good night to one another and went their separate ways.
Well, except for Shea, Alexis and I.
We all shared a room.
"Great game tonight guys!" Alexis said high fiving each of us. "I can't believe we won though" Shea said as he plopped down on his bed.
"I'm really proud of you all" Alexis smiled. "Aww thanks Lex" I said.
"Well , we have a long flight tomorrow, so let's all get some rest!" Alexis exclaimed as she grabbed her pajamas and walked into the bathroom to change. After a few minutes, she came out and climbed straight into her bed. "Good night Nealer. Good night Weber" Alexis said she switched off the lamp on the nightstand, leaving the room in darkness. "Good night" Shea and I chorused. And soon enough, we were all fast asleep.

(The next morning)

Alexis's POV
I woke up to find Shea and James already dressed and ready to go.
"How come you two didn't wake me up!?" I asked jolting out of bed.
"We tried, but you told us to leave you alone, so we did" Shea replied.
I rolled my eyes and threw the clothes that I was going to wear on the bed.
Then, I got ready for the long day ahead of me. A few minutes later, I was dressed, packed and ready to leave Nashville. I was wearing my blue Nashville Predators sweatshirt, black skinny jeans and black Chuck Taylor's.
Then, Shea, James and I gathered all our things and headed outside where the team was waiting.

*Time Skip*

Filip's POV
I sighed as the plane took off from the runway and descended into the sky.
It's not that I don't like flying, it's just I really love Nashville and I only got to be there for one day. Sometimes, I wish we could just stay in a city for more than a day. I want to see the city, eat at the restaurants, etc.
Due to my busy hockey career, I can't do any of that. The Preds are always on the move, never stopping.
I get very tired and jetlagged from all of it. It's kinda aggravating, but you learn to deal with it. I looked at Alexis, who was sitting next to me with earbuds in her ears fast asleep. She looked so beautiful. I looked away from her before she noticed I was staring.
Be more subtle Forsberg, be more subtle. I ran a hand through my short brown hair and thought" This is going to be a long couple weeks"

*Few hours later*

Pekka's POV
After a long and exhausting flight, we finally landed in Tampa Bay, FL.
I looked over to where Alexis and Filip were sitting. Alexis's head was resting on his shoulder and Filip had his arm around her. How cute, I thought smiling. Filip seems to really like Alexis. They'd be cute together, I thought. But I know Alexis.
If her heart gets broken, she will be very depressed. Alexis won't talk to anyone and she won't go out.
She'll stay locked up in a room and never come out. I just hope Filip doesn't break her heart. Cause if he does, he'll be in big trouble with Shea. Weber is very protective of Alexis and if he finds out that Filip had broken up with her, he'll go crazy. Shea is very nice, but trust me, whenever Alexis gets hurt, he always gets very angry.
I just hope that doesn't happen.

*at the hotel*

Shea's POV
"I wish that I could wake up with amnesia and forget about the stupid little things. Like the way it felt to fall asleep next to you and the memories I never can escape, cause I'm not fine at all" Alexis sang. Wow, she was actually a very good singer. "You are really good at singing" I said smiling.
"Thanks, Weber" Alexis said giving me a huge hug. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Filip frown. What is going on? He's not jealous right? I love Alexis, but not in that way. She's more like a sister to me. I hope Filip doesn't think it's the other way around.
"I'm exhausted, I'm going to take a nap" Alexis said as climbed into her and Filip's bed. And a few seconds later, she was fast asleep.
I smirked as I saw Filip slide in next to her. He pulled her closer to him and wrapped an arm around her. Alexis smiled and laid her head on his chest.
I need to come up with a plan to get these two together...

(game time)

James's POV
I felt my heart beating very fast, as if it could burst out of my chest. I took a deep breath as I skated out onto the ice with my team. Looking into the very large crowd, I smiled at some of the few Preds fans that were there, sporting their white jerseys. To be honest, I am a little nervous about this game. Tampa Bay Lightning is a pretty good team, after all.

*Time Skip*

Alexis's POV
I glanced up nervously at the scoreboard. The Preds were tied to Tampa Bay Lightning 4-4. There is only forty five seconds left in the third period. I watched as the Preds and Lightning battled for a chance to score. Then, something amazing happened.
Shea managed to steal the puck from Steven Stamkos, skate all the way to the goal and slap shot it into the net. The horn sounded, signaling that the game was over. I felt like bursting with happiness. The Preds beat Tampa Bay Lightning! I'm so proud of them!
I smiled as I heard the loud screams of Preds fans. No matter what city or country they go to, there are at least a few Preds fans. I headed to the locker room, where the team was waiting. "Great job tonight guys!" I exclaimed. "Thanks Alexis, we try" Pekka said chuckling. "Oh, don't be so humble. I think you made some really great saves" I said. Pekka smiled and said" Thank you" After the team got changed, we all headed back to the hotel, feeling jetlagged and exhausted.
