just another hockey boy.. (Auston Matthews)

Chapter 5- Is he gonna respond?

"Oh my god Hannah, this was a terrible idea!" I panicked, pacing around the room. "No it wasn't Jor, you guys need this! It's time you guys talk again. You guys were inseparable, and I still can't believe that day in the locker room ruined that." She had a point, it was really dumb, I just wish he got kicked out like every other time he tried to come in my locker room. For context, he used to go in there to hangout with me, as I was the only girl on the team. He was my best friend, and we did everything together. He knew how much I hated going in the locker room on my own, and missing out on all the dressing room memories, so he always came to hangout with me. Well, it usually only lasted about 2 minutes before the coach would kick him out, but that day, he was in there for 10 minutes.

"I guess you're right, it's time we made amends. Now we just wait for his response." I replied back. Suddenly, we heard my phone buzz against the counter. Hannah shot her head in my direction, a huge smile creeping up on her face. "JORDYN! ANSWER IT NOW!!" she screamed pointing at my phone. I jolted up, not expecting her to scream like that and grabbed my phone. My eyes scanned the text..

Auston Matthews: Hey, no problem. Would you be able to meet up at the rink tmrw? We have practice around the same time, and I want to talk.

Uhm.. what the fuck did that mean?? "SAY YES!" Han yelled in my face again. "Jesus Han, I don't think this is a good idea." she gave me "the look". "Jordyn. Your doing it, I don't care what you say. You need closure, and so does he." Damn it, she had a point. "Okay fine, but can you be there? please??" I begged. Her face softened. "No I can't be there, this is a private conversation, you guys need to be alone. But I will be right there when it's done." She explained. I hesitated again, staring at my phone. Was I really comfortable doing this? I mean yeah I wanted closure, but was this really necessary? No, I have to do this. I picked up my phone, replying to his text...

Auston Matthews: Hey, no problem. Would you be able to meet up at the rink tmrw? We have practice around the same time, and I want to talk.

Jordyn Kade: Yep for sure, where do you wanna meet?

The typing bubble popped up.

Auston Matthews: My practice starts at 6:30, so how about we meet at 5:45?

Jesus, that was almost an hour earlier than my practice. Ugh, fine.

Jordyn Kade: Yes that works.

I closed my phone, Oh fuck here we go.
