Chapter 1
Camila's POV
   "Josh!" I scream running up to him outside the MTS centre. He drops his bag and opens his arms.
   "Camila!" He screams back as I attack him in a hug. "God you've grown!" He laughs twirling me around.
   "Oh yeah, a lot since June I'll say," I roll my eyes.
   "So how have you been?"
    "I've been great! I'm currently enrolled in the University of Winnipeg for history as well as Dance and vocals. Pretty excited about it. How have you been?" He smiles.
    "That's awesome! I'm so happy for you, I've been great! Moved down here so I could play for the jets if they allow it."
    "Sweet! I hope you and Eric are on the same team this year."
    "That would be great! I would love to play on a team with him again. Especially if I get to see you all the time," he winks.
    "Jesus, when did you get so smooth?"
    "I've always been like this! You've just never noticed," he laughs.
    "Oh really? Hmm my bad," I stuff my hands into the pockets of my shorts.
    "Let's go inside," he smiles picking up his bag and stick.
    "I'll take your stick," I say grabbing it from him.
    "Thank you," we walk in together. Hockey players are everywhere! I mean it doesn't surprise me considering we are at an NHL preseason "tournament".
    "There's so many people," I say looking around.
    "Yeah and most of them are trying to get a spot on the jets roster. Most of us don't stand a chance," he says shaking his head.
    "You sure as hell have a chance, you're a great hockey player!"
    "Thanks Cam but I'm as good as any of those players out there too,"
    "Well then you need to show them that you're better than them and deserve a spot on the team."
    "I guess you're right," he grins.
    "Good! I saw what you played like in January. If you play like that in these training camps you'll be golden," Josh gives me a hug.
    "You're amazing you know that," I giggle.
    "I've been told that a time or two," I press my head against his neck. "I missed my Morrissey hugs."
    "Well I sure hope so because I missed my Comrie snuggles," he laughs squeezing me tighter. We sound like a couple. Hmmm reminds me of the way we acted during Ivan Hilinka.
    "Camila!!!" I hear Eric yell at me causing Josh and I jump apart.
    "There you are! I've been looking for you. Josh! Man, how's it going?" He asks running up to us.
    "It's been going great man! How's it going with you?"
    "Pretty great. I see you two have been catching up," Eric smirks at me. I glare at him. No no no, he's thinking about when I had feelings for Josh. I mean, who wouldn't? He's adorable.
    "Yeah, it's been nice! I've missed her," he smiles side hugging me.
   "I've missed you too," I whisper.

Two weeks later
    "God I'm tired," I say falling onto the couch in the house I share with my brother.
    "Camilla, this house is too much room for just you and I," Eric says popping down beside me.
    "I know. It's massive what do you have in mind?" I ask.
    "I got assigned to the Manitoba Moose along with Morrissey and DeLeo so I asked them to move in with us but, only if they help with the rent,"
    "Ummm ok? So when are they coming?"
    "Well they're grabbing their things from the hotel and will be over in about twenty."
    "Great enough time to have a quick nap," I say resting my head on Eric's lap.
    "Sure go ahead," I close my eyes and drift off to sleep. I soon wake up though to the sound of a lot of commotion and someone squishing me.
    "Please get off," I whine snuggling into the couch.
    "Sorry Cam. Can't do that," Josh says. I peel one eye open and glare at him.
    "I'm so tired leave me alone," I whine.
    "What did you do today?"
    "Sat through a four hour lesson on the American colonization, did a vocal class to test our ranges and how to find it and then did a two hour conditioning class for dance. I could curl up and not move for hours," he gets off of me and moves my head so he can sit down before moving it back.
    "Hmmm sounds like you don't want to go to the gym with me then?" I groan and hit him as he laughs.
   "What the hell do you think?" I ask.
   "Okay, okay. Cute room by the way," he comments.
    "You were in my room?"
    "Accidentally walked in there instead of my room which is across from yours. I love the photo wall you have up above your bed. It has a lot of us and the boys."
   "You guys were a huge part of my life. Most of you since you played with Eric at the Ivan Hilinka."
    "I noticed one from that tournament."
    "That is where we became friends right?" I laugh.
    "Yeah, what good times they were. You were what like ten?"
    "Good try but no, I was fifteen."
    "Hmmm really? Oh yeah because you're Ty's twin."
    "Ding ding ding we have a winner."
    "Cut me some slack."
    "Hmm maybe," I close my eyes again. He strokes my hair.
    "This reminds me of the first time we actually hung out at the Ivan."
    "Really? How so?"
    "The way we were just bantering like we had been friends for years."
    "Yeah, that was interesting," I giggle remembering the memory.
    "Hey! Love birds, we're going out for dinner you guys coming?" Chase asks. I blush and sit up.
    "I think I'm just going to stay in tonight. Do some R and R," I say.
    "I'll come with you guys. We can bring you something back Camy," Josh says standing up.
    "Thanks Joshy," I laugh.
    "Camy? Joshy? Hmmm how cute."
    "We've been like this for years," I assure him.
    "Mhm sure," he winks. "Let's go man."
    "See you later Camila," they say together.
    "See ya!" I wave as they walk out the front door. As soon as the doors shut I run to the bathroom to start the bath. The one thing I made sure we had when we moved here was a really pretty bathroom and a claw foot tub. I was like we need one and Eric was like 'yeah! We can find something but don't get too disappointed.' And then we found this one and it was like love at first sight! I put some bath salts in and some bubble bath solution before tying up my hair, taking off my makeup and grabbing my towel from my room. I slip into the tub and turn on some of my tunes before relaxing. I must have fallen asleep because the next thing I remember is someone barging in and me screaming.
    "WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING IN HERE?!" I ask angrily as Josh comes in.
    "I'm sorry I thought you were out. I had to pee," he says.
    "Sorry, I fell asleep. Can you wait like a couple minutes?" I ask trying to cover myself up as much as I could. He shields his eyes and nods before bolting out of the bathroom. I drain the water and wrap myself in my towel. I race into my room and throw on some clothes really quickly. I brush out my hair and pull it up again. I walk downstairs.
    "Hi boys," I say with a grin. Josh looks at me sheepishly.
    "I'm sorry," he says.
    "Don't worry about it," I laugh.
    "What happened? Is this why Josh was so red when he returned from the bathroom?" Eric asks. I nod.
    "He walked in on me while I was still in the bathtub waking me up and seeing me naked. He adverts his eyes quickly and rushed out of the room," I could see Eric glaring at him. "Eric! Fuck off," I slap him.
    "Sorry Cam," he says with a pout. I shake my head and walk around the island in the kitchen to where all the food was.
    "What did we get?"
    "Well, I got you a number five combo. Which is Lo Mein noodles, egg roll, chicken balls and General Tao Chicken. Sound good?" Eric asks.
    "Perfect! Thank you," I go through the bags and pick mine out grabbing a fork. I sit at the island and start to chow down. The boys grab theirs and sprawl out all over. Josh and Eric stand behind the island while Chase sits beside me on one of the bar stools.
    "So how's school going?" Chase asks laying his arm on my shoulder. I wince.
    "Please don't touch me. It hurts so much but the school is so worth it!" I moan taking a bite of my food.
    "Need a heating pad or you know like a back rub or something?" Chase asks again.
    "Mmmm maybe. I'll be alright though, thanks." He smiles taking a bite of his food nodding.
    "Alright well let me know." I see Josh and Eric both glaring at Chase and I stifle a giggle.
    "Something funny Camy?" Josh asks smirking at me.
    "Not at all Joshy," I smirk back.
    "These pet names are so cute," Chase gushes as Eric stares at him funny.
    "Gross," Eric says taking a huge bite of chicken.
    "Bite me big brother," I blow him a kiss.
