Rhea's POV
Andrea and I arrived at Prudential and the Devils were versing the San Jose Sharks. I was wearing my Jack Hughes jersey as Andrea wore her Nico Hischier Jersey.
"Hopefully Trevor won't get offended," I laugh.
"Don't worry. I'm wearing my Ducks hoodie under this," she replied.
She laughed as we walked to our glass seats. During warmups, Jack skated towards us and flipped a puck over the glass. I giggled as he smiled and skated away. During the game, they showed me and Andrea on the screen. I looked over to the bench and saw Nico jokingly hit Jack and laugh with him.
Eventually, the game went into overtime, with the Devils winning 4-3. We went through the hallways Jack told me to follow then ended up in front of the locker room door. We waited for a good 15 minutes until Nico Hischier walked out first. He smiled and I smiled back, saying, "hi." He ran back to the locker room and within minutes he returned with Jack, who was pretty confused at first. 
"Oh, hey," he started.
"Hi," I replied.
"Like the jersey," Nico said, pointing to Andrea.
"Thanks," she laughed.
"What's Trevor gonna think of that?" Jack asked sarcastically.
"Oh, don't worry. I'm wearing my Ducks hoodie under this," she said, pulling up her jersey to reveal the hoodie.
"Wow, you betrayed me," Nico chuckled.
All of the other players started walking out, and Nico walked with them, leaving us with Jack.
"So do you guys wanna go get drinks or something?"
"Not me," Andrea replied. "I'm gonna go home."
"I'll go with you," I said.
"Alright, you wanna come with since Andrea isn't going," Jack inquired.
"Yeah sure, here are the keys, Andrea." I gave Andrea the keys to my car.
"Thanks. I'm assuming you're not gonna be back until tomorrow morning."
"I don't know. So don't get scared if I don't come back tonight."
She took the keys and walked away. I realized that if I get in the car with Jack, everyone will probably see me in the car with him and it'll start a whole commotion, which is not really what I want.
"So, if I get in the car with you, how are people not going to notice that I'm literally sitting right there? I know fans tend to wait outside until you leave so," I began.
"Yeah. If you want I have an extra pair of clothes you can wear so it doesn't look as suspicious if you get what I mean."
"Yeah, I get it."
I changed into his pair of sweatpants and took my hoodie off so I could put his on. I put the hood up all the way so no one could see me from the side, or if I looked down. We walked out into his car, and as soon as we got in and started driving, people from every direction started swarming the car. They realized someone else was there, but obviously since they couldn't see me, they didn't know who it was.
Finally we were able to leave and we decided to go to this club that Jack goes to with the team pretty often. He said that they know him well there, so hopefully they won't say much about seeing Jack Hughes with Rhea Grant.
We got there and Jack was right. Not many people said a lot about me being there. Obviously I got the usual, "omg can I get a picture with you?" but other than that no one harassed me or Jack.
We both got drinks and got drunk pretty quickly. I was more drunk though, since Jack had to drive. He was still a little under the influence. Then both of us stood up to get drinks. We got them, and started walking back. Jack grabbed my waist, pulling me closer to him. Then we both put out drinks down on the nearest table in unison. He pulled me closer, leaving no space between our bodies. We looked at each other, and before I knew it, his lips were pressed against mine. After a few seconds, we both pulled away, staring at each other, smiling. We quickly returned to the kiss, this time lasting longer. One of his hands grabbed my face, and both of mine reached for his. This sort of escalated until we realized we were still in public for everyone to see. I grabbed his hand as he followed me to the bathroom. We ran in and closed the stall door. He pushed me up against the wall as we started seriously making out. We didn't do anything more than that, but just as we were about to, we heard someone walk in. We immediately stopped and looked at each other, trying not to laugh. Once they left, we ran out and decided to leave.
"Wanna come back to my place?" Jack asked.
"Sure," I responded.
Since I was so drunk, I didn't really have a filter on what I was saying.
"So what does Trevor think of all this going and being put together with Andrea? Does he know?"
"Oh," he began, chuckling. "He's quite aware. I made the mistake of telling him that I got your number, and he went completely out of his mind. He keeps calling me and asking for her number."
"Well why didn't you tell me? Do you know what Andrea would do to get his number? Or to just meet him in general?"
"Really? She actually like him that much?"
"Yes! She will literally start crying if you show her a picture of Trevor."
"She's really that dramatic?"
"Yep. You'd be surprised."
"Doesn't she like have that boyfriend Brian or something?"
"Oh, no. They broke up a while ago." My voice slowly got quieter. Jack knew by the tone of my voice that something bad must've happened.
"Oh, I didn't know. What happened? They were always together on her Instagram."
"Don't tell her I told you this. It was only supposed to stay between us. But he cheated on her and used her. She truly was in love with him and she'd always talk about spending the rest of her life with him. He invited her over on Valentine's Day this year and she came earlier than he told her to. She had this card she bought for him and wrote this huge thing that took up the whole inside of the card explaining how much she really loves him and how she wants to have his kids when they're older. When she walked into his apartment, she caught him sleeping with another girl. They got into this huge fight and he started to hit her and stuff. She found out that he'd been cheating for months. It left her heartbroken and she didn't know what to do. I helped her and had to sleep in the same bed as her for months, so I could listen to her cry and vent all night. She slowly started getting better, but I still don't think she sleeps at night because of it. She's terrified to go out with another boy because she doesn't want her heart to get broken again and her trust issues went way down and I'm like the only person she trusts."
It was quiet for a while after that. Jack didn't really know what to say.
"Jesus. I'm sorry. I didn't know."
"It's okay. Don't worry about it. Just like I said, don't tell her I told you anything."
"Don't worry, I won't. But you should just know that I've known Trevor for a while. We used to be best friends. Well, we still are, but since he plays for Anaheim and I'm on the Devils, it's hard to be that close, but we hang out constantly off season. And I want you to know that Trevor is a really great guy. He really is. I know that you said that Andrea's terrified to go out with another guy, but if she and Trevor start talking, you gotta convince her. He's really perfect for her. He'll treat her right and I know he'll never do that. She deserves someone like him, and he'll protect her over everything. He's someone she'd spend the rest of her life with. Actually. He'll do everything in his possession to make sure she's truly happy and he'll love her the same."
I didn't really know what to say. It made me happy to think that Andrea could actually have someone like that in her life. I wanted her to be that happy without getting crushed. I love Andrea with all my heart and that's really what I wanted for her. I ended up giving Jack her number so he can text her and what not.
Later, we then got to Jack's apartment. Neither of us had a care in the world in that moment and we continued what we had started in the bathroom. I'm the type of person to get attached really easily, and in this moment, I really started to think I was in love with him.
