The Broken Hearted Hockey Player - Jack Hughes

Chapter 7

The day before Columbus and New Jersey, Jack got ready to go to the airport with Nico and Luke. Nico was waiting for both Jack and Luke.

"All you almost done yet, Jack? Nico is waiting for us," Luke yelled!

"Don't yell. I get that you stayed in a college dorm room, but don't yell," Jack gently stated.

"Just come on. Taylor is not going to be there," Luke acknowledged.

Jack came out with his stuff and looked at Luke with disbelief and told him that Taylor and him were just friends, and Jack knew that he couldn't date Taylor because that was going to be breaking the best friend rule. But as they were walking out, Luke told Jack that if he didn't confirm his feelings for Taylor, then Jamie Drysdale would ask Taylor out. Jack was surprised at that. He didn't know that Jamie liked Taylor. But Jamie does see Taylor more during home and always games.

Taylor (Swift) Zegras

Jack:
Hey Taylor

Taylor:
Hey Jackie
What's up?

Jack:
There's not much
I'm just telling you that
i am leaving to go
play against Columbus now

Taylor:
Okay, have fun, Jackie

Jack turned on airplane mode, sitting on the end seat next to Nico. His true lover (Joke, they are best friends). Nico was reading his book while Jack was trying to follow along with the words, but Nico was going to fast. Jack does this all the time on an airplane, and Nico doesn't seem concerned about this. Even though Jack has been on many airplanes, they still give Jack anxiety because what happens if the plane breaks down. With this, Jack is either messing with his hair, or this is why Nico is always by Jack because he only lets Jack touch his hair. Jack also stutters or avoiding eye contact with people.

Nico's pov:

As I was reading my book, I felt Jack messing with my hair. Jack has an angelic tone in his voice when he's talking to me.

"Nico... Do you think that the plane could land in the water," Jack mumbled.

No, you're just overwhelmed by the entire year happening, so you're overthrowing this

"Thanks, Nico," Jack said.

I went back to my book as Jack laid his head on my shoulder. I didn't mind it, I let him do it. I saw the tik tok comments saying that our way of showing love is physical touch. That is mostly 100% of being true. I just don't want people getting the wrong idea. The plane is landing soon, but I will wake him up when it's time.

Plane landed

Jack. The plane has landed. I placed my hand on his shoulder.

"We're here? That was like 10 minutes," Jack whispered.

Jack stood up, walking behind Dawson Mercer. We made it to Columbus again, and it looked so different from last time.

"This place looks so different from last seaso," Dawson shouted!

"I never been here before. This is my first time," Luke put out.

"Well, you are the rookie still Luke," Jack recalled.

There it is, Jack sass. You can count on his sass to come out to make everything funnier. The best part of being friends with someone with anxiety, they have so much sass within them. Maybe that's why people like us together because I could talk about Jack a lot. Even if he's not here with me.

"You guys can go to your hotel homes for the night," Lindy Ruff ordered.

The players went to the rooms, me and Jack stay in a room together. Jack normally talks about Trevor Zegras sister when we're alone. I keep telling him to ask her out, but he says that it's breaking the best friend rule. He always says that, but Jamie might take her alway from him.
