CHAPTER 2-
ROBIN’S SECRET
Max never showed up, figures, and that means Robin never left. Every one slept on the couch ground or in the yard. Robin got the bed, even though it was my room, and I got the ground. At four my alarm went off, signaling my wake up call. I threw on a pare pj pants and a white tank, grabbed my hockey back and accidentally woke Robin.
“What the hell are you doing?” she moaned, pulling herself onto her elbows. She was dressed in one of my Holister T-shirts and sweat pants because she didn't want to sleep in her gear.
“I told you already. I’m going to the rink, I hate it here,” I said making sure all of my gear was in my bag.
“Why?”
“Because in the only place I can escape you is at the rink before it opens,” I said sliding my stick into its case.
“Before it opens? Oh they give you a key or something. Do you really hate me that much?” was she clueless or something?! I started out my bedroom door and she fallowed.
“Pretty much, it’s just everywhere I go you’re all I hear and see. My parents act like I’m not even their son,” I said looking straight into her coffee eyes.
She sighed with sympathy, “That can’t be true, Dan.”
“Really? How come they always sit on your side in the rink and not mine? How come when you came over for dinner yesterday my mom struggled when she said my name? How come,” I pause to calm myself, “How come you’re always better?”
I tossed my bag over my shoulder and headed out the front door. She fallowed expecting more but I kept silent as I unlocked my Toyota Tundra and threw my bag and stick in the trunk. I slid onto the black leather seats and started up the engine. She opened the passenger’s set door and parked herself next to me. I stared at her with tired and annoyed eyes, “Really?”
“Don’t worry I just want to get out. You know, you’re all I hear about at home. That’s why I try so hard to win; I just want my parents to see me,” it was only then that I saw that we were trying to do the same thing. To our parents we were invisible, but her parents only saw me and mine her. In a blink of an eye I brought myself back to the reality, not of sympathy, but of hate. I hated her and that wouldn’t change. She had made me look like a fool so many times it was unforgivable, and I wasn’t in the mood to forgive.
“Whatever. Just don’t bother me at the rink.”
I pulled up to the rink and threw my black CCM bag over my shoulder as I started stomping to the glass doors. Robin stumbled behind me, struggling to keep up. “That’s all? That’s all you’re going to say?! Really!?”
I stopped so quickly my bag flung forward. I turned and glared at her, “What else do you want?! What?! You’ve ruined my life! What else do I have to say?! If there is anything else I would gladly say it just to get you the hell of my back!”
I turned back to my original destination and stuck the silver key in the lock. She stood there in a daze but I didn’t dare look back as I headed to the locker rooms.
ROBIN’S POV-
“YOU RUINED MY LIFE! What else do I have to say?! If there is anything else I would gladly say it just to get you the hell of my back!”
His words echoed in my head as I stared at the glass twin doors he had just left through. Did I really make him that miserable? Once I was sure he was in his team’s locker room I burst into tears. Why couldn’t he see!
“Why are you so blind, Dan?” I mumbled under my breath with a flood of water works. “Why cant you see I love you?!”
