I skated around the arena aimlessly, the game was done and I had nothing better to do. My head still pounded so I spun for the bench, heading off in the direction of the dressing room.
"Gabe, come on." I girly voice said from inside.
"Why are you here?" He replied angrily.
Then there was silence. I pushed the door open, Adrianna and Gabe standing in the middle. Her perfect body with his as his hands moved her hair from her face. The guys frozen in shock as a strangled noise came from my chest.
"Wow." I scoffed, grabbing my bag and flinging it over my shoulder as I untied my skates.
"What's your problem?" Adrianna asked.
"Ask Gabe, he should know." I spit out, turning for the door.
"You don't understand." He reasoned.
"I understand perfectly fine, I'm not good enough. Just like normal." I said shaking my head and moving towards my car.
"Raiyne stop." Ryan said, jogging after me.
"What Ryan?" I asked.
"He didn't do anything I swear, you can't be mad at him she's a bitch." He said.
"You don't have to defend him." I replied, pulling my door open.
"Yeah I do, he really likes you Ray." He said.
"Whatever. I'll see you later." I whispered, stepping into my car.
"Give him a chance." Ryan said, closing my door and walking away.

My Avalanche sweat pants hung low on my hips as I pulled a tank top over my head, someone pounding on the door as I swung it open.
Gabe's ocean blue eyes stared at me as he opened his mouth to say something, instead he shoved the carton of ice cream at me and walked in.
"Oh yeah, come on in. Oh wait! Get the fuck out." I informed him.
He clattered around in the kitchen and pulled me to the couch, both spoons being plunged into the ice cream.
"I felt insecure."
One bite.
"I wasn't thinking and she was there."
Another bite.
"I feel like an ass."
Mouthful shoved at me.
"I wish it didn't happen."
Spoon shoved in my mouth.
"All I want is you. All I can think about is you."
Spoon stabbed into the ice cream.
"Because I am in love with you Raiyne, not her. I am so over her."
He finished, blue eyes staring at me as my mouth opened like a fish.
"Gabe I -" I started.
"No, I know what you are gonna say. You don't have to be sorry, and that shouldn't have happened you have every right to be mad at me, but Raiyne I am completely yours and you can't change that."
"So it was her? Ryan was right?" I asked.
"I swear." He said quietly.
I wrapped my arms around his neck and crawled onto his lap.
"Gabriel Landeskog, I'm in love with you too."
--
I woke up curled into Gabe's side, his deep breathing in my ear and his body pressed tightly to mine a loud crash sounding on the door.
"Gabe, someone's here." I whispered, shaking his arm lightly.
"What? Ray go to sleep." He mumbled, dipping his head into my neck.
Another crash.
"Gabe, someone is here." I panicked.
"Raiyne it's just me holy shit." Ryan said, tripping over the couch and landing on me and Gabe.
"Holy shit you weigh a ton." I gasped as my body was crushed.
"This is comfy." He said, making himself comfortable.
"Can't breath, crushing me." I squeaked.
"You'll survive." He mumbled.
"Get your fat ass off of me!" I complained.
"Now that was just mean." He grumped.
Gabe laughed and I fell from the couch, landing on my stomach.
"My boobs." I groaned.
"Stop being a wimp." Ryan laughed, standing.
"Ryan I would kick your ass right now but I'm too lazy to move." I stated.
"Nice to know how much you love me." He laughed.
"I'm gonna shove my fist down your throat."
"Whoa, easy there."
"Did you at least bring me food?"
"No."
"Get out."
"Raiyne get dressed and I'll take you for breakfast." He laughed.
"No."
--
I was sat in a chair, McDonalds breakfast shoved under my nose as Gabe and Ryan sat on the other side.
"Eat." The whole team said.
"What are your problems?" I laughed.
"You're a stick." Matt chimed in.
"I eat all the time!" I complained, shoving a hashbrown in my mouth.
"I don't know where it goes." Gabe said.
"My thighs, they are freaking huge." I mumbled.
"In your dreams." Ryan laughed.
--
I tossed my uniform at Adrianna, then spun from the whole group and walked back into the locker room.
"What did you do?" Gabe asked.
"I quit."
