MORE IDEAS = LONGER CHAPTERS BABY GET READY😎😎😎

Rhea's POV

Tonight the Ducks are versing the Devils and Trevor, Jamie, Andrea, and Stef are forcing me to go. I really don't want to go, but I guess I got to go for them. Andrea and Stef were staying at our apartment as Trevor and Jamie were at Jack's. Trevor being the protective friend he is told me that he was going to put Jack in his place for me.

Stef was wearing a Drysdale jersey and Andrea was wearing a Zegras jersey. I'm still concerned on what Stef was doing because they're not even dating. She's considered a wag but at the same time they're technically just friends with benefits that for some reason live together and sleep in the same bed together.

"So how are things between you and Jamie?" I asked her as we were all getting ready together in the bathroom.

"We're good. What makes you ask?" She responded.

"Nothing. I just thought maybe you guys finally decided to take it to the next level," I said as I finished putting eyeliner on.

"What do you mean? Like boyfriend-girlfriend?" She questioned as she put on her mascara.

"Yeah, I mean you guys aren't labeled yet. Are you?"

"No, we're not. I just don't know how I feel about the whole 'commitment thing'. It's not that I don't trust him, I just don't know if I wanna be labeled like that."

"What does he think about it?"

"We haven't really talked about it."

"Trevor told me that Jamie said he wants you to be his girlfriend. But he's scared to ask you because he doesn't know how you feel," Andrea said as she put her makeup away.

"I think you should give the whole 'commitment thing' a go. Maybe you'll end up liking it." I told Stef.

"Yeah, why are you so scared anyway?" Andrea added.

"I don't know. I just like where we are now. I don't want to rush things. I mean look at you and Brian." She pointed to Andrea. "And you and Jack." She pointed to me.

We both just gave her a nasty look. I don't know why she'd say that. She took all her makeup and put it away in her suitcase, regretting what she said.

Afterwards, we finally went to the game. They weren't sitting with the wags, and neither was I. We got our own seats in a random section, which was probably one of the worst ideas ever. We had to walk in with everyone else, and of course we got asked almost 20,000 times to take a picture with fans. I guess I shouldn't complain though, since no one asked any questions. Why we were there with everyone else, why I wasn't wearing a jersey, etc.

We got to our seats and thankfully sat around a bunch of adult-adults and older people who didn't care about who we were, so they didn't bother us.

The ducks won first period 1-0, and tied 1-1 in the second. They then tied 2-2 in the third, but the Devils ended up winning in OT. For some reason, Jack was actually playing better than he was. I thought that was probably because Trevor told him I was here. From what Trevor told me, Jack misses me as much as I miss him. And he's been acting pretty much the same way, too.

After the game ended, we sat in our seats for a while. I didn't know if they wanted to go wait outside of the Ducks locker room or say hi to the other wags. Eventually, when all the people around us left, Andrea said, "follow me" and got up out of her seat. We did what she said and followed her.

"Where are we going?" I asked. I was hoping that we were leaving because I just wanted to go home.

"You'll see."

"I don't like the sound of that," Stef laughed.

"Neither do I." I tried to laugh.

Andrea somehow remembered her way to the Devils locker room and I realized about halfway through walking there.

"Andrea," I started.

"Be quiet."

"But-"

"Shhh." She looked at me, putting her finger over her lips.

I listened, and didn't say anything else. I didn't want to start a fight. We then eventually made it. We waited outside for a while, and some of the players started walking out. At this point I wasn't scared of seeing Jack, I just didn't want to see any of the other players. Especially Dawson. I looked the opposite way from the way they were coming out, and thankfully no one said anything to us.

All the players left by now, so I turned my head back around. Then we see Trevor and Jamie walking to us.

"Anything yet?" Trevor asked.

"Nope," Andrea replied.

"What's going on?" I asked them.

No one said anything as Trevor just patted my back.

"Don't worry, I'm just as confused as you are," Stef said, holding onto Jamie. They were all lovey dovey and on top of each other. I seriously don't understand her problem with commitment.

After a little while longer, Jack came out. We just stared at each other for a while, until eventually I started walking up to him. He hugged me so tight, I felt safe in his arms again. I started to tear up, too. Once we let go, he had his arm around my shoulders and he led me into the locker room.

He shut the door and I looked up at him. He was all teary eyed, too.

"I'm so sorry," he started.

"No, don't be."

"I am. It's my fault. I love you so much you don't understand. I don't want anyone else but you." He put his arms around my waist tightly. "You didn't do anything, and don't ever think you did."

"I shouldn't have said that, I'm sorry." I started to cry.

"No, it's not your fault, Rhea. I know you wouldn't do anything like that. I trust you."

"I just don't wanna lose you. Especially over something like that. You're the first person I've ever loved like this. I hated my last boyfriend so much I said no to having sex with him. Multiple times. It might not seem like a big deal to you, but to me it is. And to have someone like you in my life, it's even bigger." I never told anyone about Matthew. It's something I hated to talk about, which is why it look me by surprise that I actually said it to him.

"You're never gonna lose me. Don't worry." I buried my head in his chest. "I'm always gonna be here with you. I promise."

We then looked at each other for a while. "I took care of the cat. Don't worry," he smiled.

"Thanks." We slightly chuckled.

After a while of this, we walked back out and saw everyone was gone. We went to Jack's car and I checked my phone to see Andrea texted me.

andrea

left u guys alone were on our way back to jacks apartment :)

thanks<3
were on our way

Neither of us said anything on the drive home. We got back to his apartment, which Trevor had a key to. Everyone else was either showering or in bed. I went to the bathroom and started brushing my hair. Jack went into the extra bedroom to talk to Trevor. I didn't want to get involved, so I didn't ask any questions. Then, Jack walked in the bathroom. He hugged me from behind and rested his head on my shoulder.

"You, can take a shower, I'll leave," I said. I tried leaving but he quickly pulled me back and hugged me tighter.

"Don't go, baby," he said. "Stay with me."
