Will Our Love Survive? (Filip Forsberg fanfic)

Chapter Eleven: Broken Hearts and Memories

Alexis's POV
I took a deep breath as I stepped inside the locker room. "Hey guys" I said smiling. Mike saw me and said" Hi Alexis" "I have to tell you guys something once everybody gets here" I announced. James and Shea were looking at me and smirking.
They mouthed" Someone's got a boyfriend" "Shut up" I mouthed back while glaring at them.
A few minutes later, the whole team was in the locker room.
"Ok, so what is the big news you have to us?" Mattias asked.
I met eyes with Filip, who gave me an encouraging smile. Well, here goes nothing. "As you all know, Filip kissed me after the LA Kings game last night. Filip came to my hotel room a few hours ago and told me that he really liked me. He asked me to be his girlfriend and that's about it" I said blushing. The whole team burst out into a series of applause and "finallys"
But during all of this, I saw someone with an angry look on his face.
I suddenly felt very sick.
The person was Roman.
This can't be good, I thought nervously.
What if he hurts Filip?
My eyes filled up with tears at the thought. The team stopped cheering and gathered around me.
Then, they wrapped me into one of the best group hugs ever.
I'm so lucky to have these people in my life. Filip especially.

I remember when I first met the team...

*Flashback*
"Don't worry honey, they'll love you" My mom said placing a warm hand on my shoulder. I smiled gratefully at her before stepping inside the Preds locker room. I felt very awkward and kinda uncomfortable, as some of the members were shirtless. "Um hi, I'm Alexis" I said plastering a small smile on my face. One of them, James, I think, turned towards me and waved, smiling. "Hi Alexis, I'm Shea nice to meet you" A tall young man with brown hair, brown eyes and a little bit of scruff on his face said. I held out my hand for him to shake, but instead, he pulled me into a warm hug. "I don't do handshakes" He said chuckling. I blushed feeling very embarrassed. Then, after Shea let go of me, he introduced me to the rest of the team. All of the members were very nice and humble. They also made me feel very comfortable. And my friendship with the team took off from there. After lots of hockey games and flights, I was very close with the team. Whenever the team had time off, we would go out and explore the city or country we were in at the time. During all the long nights we spent together, I began to grow extremely close to Filip. He was the member that was the nicest to me.
The team was family.
And that is just the way I like it.
Just me and the Nashville Predators, one big group of people who are there for each other through thick and thin.
I also remember when I got my first boyfriend. His name was Andrew, and he was the best boyfriend when we started dating. He was so polite and sweet to me. Andrew was the same age as I was and a sophomore in high school, like me. I thought I loved him, I did. I genuinely thought our relationship would last. Boy was I naive and stupid back then.
Why? Because the jerk cheated on me.
He was kissing another girl.
I know, so typical.
I was heartbroken, but I vowed to wait for the right guy to come along.
I ran all the way to Shea's house, tears in my eyes. When I showed up on his doorstep with puffy red eyes and tears streaming down my face, he immediately pulled me inside.
He wasn't alone though.
Filip, James, and Pekka were sitting on his couch, having a conversation.
Shea led me to the couch, telling me to sit down and make myself comfortable. I nodded and sat in between James and Filip, who immediately put their arms around me. "Wanna tell us what happened?" Pekka asked softly. "A- Andrew cheated on me" I replied burying my face in Filip's chest. He stroked my back comfortingly as I sobbed.
"That little jerk, wait till I get my hands on him" I heard Shea mutter with venom in his voice. Pekka got up from the couch and walked over to Shea, placing a hand on his shoulder.
"Don't do it Shea, he's not worth it" He said gently. Shea shrugged his hand off his shoulder and stormed out of the house. "Great. Now Shea's going to beat up a guy and it's probably going to be all over the news the next day" I groaned. A few hours later, Shea came back into the house with a cut lip.
Oh my gosh. He didn't! "Did you actually do it?" I asked.
Shea didn't say anything, he just nodded. I gasped and Pekka sighed.
"Why did you it? You couldn't just leave him alone! You just had to go and beat up Alexis's ex boyfriend!
I can't believe you did that! Do you realize how much trouble we're going to be in if the media finds out?
What if our manager finds out?
He's going to be furious. I'm very disappointed in you" Pekka said harshly. Wow. I've never seen him like this. "Look, I'm sorry ok? My anger got the best of me." Shea said softly.
"I'm going to be in my room if you need me" He said running upstairs.
Shea came down some minutes later and ate dinner with us. And I guess the whole fiasco was forgotten.

*Present*

Roman's POV
Did I think what I think she said?
Alexis is officially dating Filip.
I am a little heartbroken, but I am happy for her. I just want her to be happy.

Shea's POV
Wow. I can't believe it. Alexis and Filip are dating, which is kinda crazy to think about. Never in my life would I thought that they would end up together. Well, as long as Filip doesn't break Alexis's heart, he's not going to end up in the hospital.
