A new home - Tyler Seguin

Chapter 6 - Welcome Mr. Holm

January 4th
Sarah's POV

Today would be a busy day for my family, at least for my dad and brother.
First this morning Dan would have his try outs to see if he could take a place in the team and a few hours later the company my dad worked for would have a welcome party for my dad.

I woke up to my alarm at 9am I was really tired but I promised Dan I would drive him and stay to look at him trying out for the team.
I went down to eat some breakfast and talked a bit with Daniel who was eating a big breakfast... Egg, juice, toast. It looked like he was going to play in a gold medal game.

When I was done I got up to my room and did my everyday makeup routine and put on a pair of adidas workout pants and a black shirt and a hoodie with my old soccer teams logo on it.
I walked down and before I put my shoes on I went to the fridge and put a Gatorade in my bag.

"Dan I'm done'" I yelled

He came walking down the stairs with his equipment in a bag he got from dad before we moved. He put on his running shoes and we said goodbye to mum and dad and went to the car. I could tell he was nervous...

We got to the training ground and he went in to the changing room and I made my way to the stands.
I sat with my phone when someone tried to get my attention so I looked up to see an older man waiving me down to ice level.

"Hi I'm Andrew the coach, you must be a friend of Daniel?" He said and shook my hand
"I'm Sarah his sister" I told him
"Oh, so can you tell me a bit about him, both on and of the ice?"

"Well, he is very determent and is very stubborn, he usually play center or left wing. He is willing to do so much to reach his goals and back in Sweden he actually played with a bit older guys to get more of a challenge to develop as a player. Of the ice he can be a bit shy but he is very nice and cares a lot about the people around him and he always have your back if you need it" I said and he looked very pleased with my answer.

The practice started and Daniel was doing really good, you could tell he was trying hard with some of the drills he never had done before but it wasn't to bad for his first time.

After practice I want down to wait outside the dressing room when the coach came out.
He smiled and walked over to me.

"That went really well I must say. We where very surprised actually"
"That's good I guess" I laughed a bit.
"It's very good" he smiled
"So is he gonna make the team?" I was nervous for Daniel cause I saw how hard he tried.
"Yes, he will start with us as soon as he starts school"
"Oh my god, that's so great!"

Daniel walked out of the room without his equipment with a smile, he walked over and I gave him the Gatorade.

"I need to go but I'll see you in a week" his coach said and shook his hand.
As soon as he left I threw myself at Daniel and hugged him really tight. "Congrats brotha!"
He laughed and said thanks as we walked to the car.

When we got home we walked to the living room where mum and dad where watching the news.
"Hey. I think Dan have something to tell you" I said with the biggest smile possible..
"Yeah I got accepted to the team"
He said and put his hands in the pockets of his pants.
They both exploded from the couch hand they hugged for minutes.

I want to my room and put on some music before picking out some clothes to wear for my dads welcoming.
I put out some black jeans with a white top and some nude heals and gold jewelry.
I got in the shower and did my routine then walked out put my curling iron in and pulled out some makeup.
I did a natural base with a nude smokey eye and nude lips.
I curled my hair and put my clothes on, I pulled out a black clutch and put down some make up in case of emergency.

With the shoes in my hand I walked down where the rest of my family was waiting.
They all where dressed really nice.

When we got there we got guided to a table and sat down waiting for the food.
After we ate we mingled a bit and I somehow lost Dan in the crowd.

*ding ding ding*
Everyone got quiet as the man from the airport stood on something that was supposed to look like a stage..

"Hi. I would like to start of with saying thank you to everyone that showed up today.
And then I would like to say welcome to our new CEO Chris Holm and his wife, son and daughter to Dallas.

He kept on talking but I wasn't really listening.
I looked around the room, judging people was one of my biggest hobbies. I was about to turn and look behind me when I heard a voice.

"Hello Sweden"
