The rest of the season went by so fast. They boys were playing their hearts out but lost in the first round of playoffs. Auston didn't really talk much or do anything in the days following he was completely crushed.

But in the next few weeks the boys were all going to be returning home for the off season, so they wanted to have one last get together or should I say party. It was going to be at Auston's place but Steph and I were going to be late.

I had a final paper to finish so I spent all day doing that and then Steph came over to get ready with me. At this point we had become inseparable. We spent so much time together during the season going to games, events, and keeping eachother company when the boys were on road trips.

We got ready and pre-gamed for the night ahead of us. After some hair and make up we were ready to go. We called our Uber and headed to Austons

@StephanieLaChance: Can the party even start if we aren't there

@MitchMarner: It can and it did

@WilliamNylander: Where is my pong partner @BrooklynSeguin you left me with @MitchMarner and he's worst at pong then on the ice

@MitchMarner: STFU

@StephanieLaChance: Don't worry @MitchMarner I'll be your partner

@BrooklynSeguin: @WilliamNylander Don't worry I'll save you

We got there and the place was packed, I didn't know Auston's place could fit this many people

"IT'S ABOUT TIME" Nylnder yelled and threw me over his shoulder to the pong table

I started to play but also kept scanning the room for Auston. I hadn't seen him yet. I'll find him later I said to myself since I know Nylander was never going to let me leave this pong table.

We were dominating the table until we lost to Riley and Martin. It was a devastating blow for us. At this point I was pretty damn drunk if I do say so myself. But I made my way around looking for Auston and saying hi to people

I couldn't find him anywhere so I decided to step into his room to recollect myself and make sure my hair was okay.

I went to open the door and it was locked weird we never lock the door  I thought Austons got to be in there I started lightly knocking on the door. I don't even know if anyone could hear it because it was so loud in the house.

"Aus it's Brooklyn" I said

After jiggling the handle and knocking the door finally opened and I was met by a tall brunette girl. She looked at me up and down then didn't say anything at all and walked by me

I felt an aching pain in my chest. Out of everything I was expecting it wasn't that. Maybe him passed out on the bathroom floor or hiding from all of the people and watching sports center but never that

I looked through the cracked door and saw Auston putting his belt on and then Austons eyes met mine. He started coming to the door towards me

"Brooklyn '' he saif but I just shut it and walked away.

I took a seat on the couch and grabbed the closest bottle of vodka and started drinking it straight. That's when Auston came up behind me

"That was not what it looked like" he said while slurring his words clearly intoxicated out of his mind "let me explain"

I just looked and him and threw the bottle back and took a way to large of a swig of the bottle then got up and went towards Nylander

Auston tried to grab me "it was a mistake"

I ignored him and kept walking towards Nylander when I made it towards him I hung off of his shoulder

"You okay girl you looking a little tipsy" he laughed and held me up

"I feel great!" I said and pulled him closer regaining my balance "let's go take our table back" I said and pointed to the pong table with the bottle still in my hand

The truth is the drunker you are the better at pong you are because we were dominating that until I was way too drunk. And people we finally leaving it was about 3am and only the the guys who were the closest with Auston were still there

"Let's get you some fresh air" Nylander said and led me outside.

We sat on the outdoor furniture it was still decently cold in Toronto and the first thing I saw was the hot tub

Unproved I got up and took off my heels, unbuttoned my shirt

"Brooks what the hell are you doing" Nylander said concerned

I just continued removing my skirt until I was just in my thong and bra. Then I grabbed my bottle and got into the hottub

"Come on in the water is just fine" I said giggling

He walked over "Brooklyn you have to get out before you cause a scene" He said

At this point everyone who was left had already seen me in there an I couldn't have cared less

"Brooklyn Im going to go get you a towel and then you have to get out before Auston loses his mind"

"Who cares im having fun" I said quietly looking at him

At that point I must have caught Austons attention because before I knew it he was looking at me with a pissed off  but also like a sad dog expression

He walked over "Come on Brooklyn" he said

"Nope" I replied

"Willie can you give us a moment"

"No he can stay right here"

He looked torn of who to listen too, but ultimately decided to listen to Auston with hesitation

"Brooklyn please you are causing a scene" Auston pleaded with me

"I don't care anymore" I paused and looked at him "why would you do that to me"

I lost all the fire and sass I had a minute ago and tears starting welding in my eyes I began to look down

Auston placed his hands on my face making me look at him in the eyes

"I would never hurt you like that" I said at this point fulling balling my eyes out

"I know you wouldn't" he said his eyes getting red with tears

Nylander came back with a towel

"Can you take me home Willie" I said and hopped out of the hottub

"Yea come on, I'll get her home safe Auston"
