Avalanche Territory (NHL Gabe Landeskog)

Chapter 3: Fix It

I pressed Nathan into the wall, "You're such a fucking asshole." I growled. "I know that I was my fault too but you're being a dick about it!"

His eyes clouded and a smirk crossed his lips, "Whatever, you liked it."

"I liked the thought of it, now I hate you and I hate myself too." I stated coldly, grabbing my car keys.

"Can I come with you?" Nathan smiled.

"I'm going to kill you." I replied.

His hand grabbed my wrist and I smashed my fist into his face, wincing slightly as the skin on my knuckles broke.

"Mother fucker." I swore, my fist dripping with blood as Nathan wiped at his mouth.

"You ok?" He asked, and I punched him again ignoring the searing in my fist.

"Raiyne, knock it off." Jamie stated, finally breaking away from the group.

"I hate you, and I fucking quit. I'll go to Dallas." I spit out, wincing as my fist unclenched. "I'm done with Colorado and I'm done with you."

"You can't be done with Colorado." Gabe stated, blocking the door.

"How are you still trying to make me stay!" I exclaimed. "You should want me gone."

"Well too bad, cause I want you here. I doubt I'm the only one." Gabe replied, his blue eyes searching my face.

"Stay." Jamie stated.

"Please." Ryan added.

"Ray we need you." Matt said.

"I can't, I feel like shit around here." I stated.

"Let me fix it." Gabriel said, and I raised a brow. "I'll fix it."

"Okay." I whispered.

There was a knock on my door and I zipped up the side of the high-low dress and slipped my feet into the heels, taking a deep breath as I walked down the stairs. I took another deep breath as I pulled the door open and stepped back, suddenly nervous as I shook my head and took another shaky step back.

"I lied, Gabriel I can't." I whispered as he handed me a single red rose.

"No turning back now." He smiled, pecking my forehead as he spun me in a slow circle. "You look beautiful."

I smiled shakily and stepped back, skimming my eyes across is outfit. The jacket fitting perfectly, along with the dress pants and dress shirt.

"You look amazing as always." I replied, feeling my cheeks flame.

He laughed, the easy sound calming my nerves as I placed the flower on the table by the door.

"Nope, it's a scavenger hunt. That's your first clue." Gabe smiled, then handed me a little note.

"Have a little fun and let's win tonight." I read aloud and Gabe shrugged, holding out a key.

I looked at the symbol, the perfect 'M' for Maserati on the key. I grabbed Gabe's hand and pulled him out the door, freezing at the end of the small walkway to the door.

"Oh my god." I gasped.

"It's the right car right?" Gabe asked.

"Yes." I replied, unlocking the car and reaching for the door handle. "I'm driving right?"

"Please, I was nervous driving here." He teased.

I slipped in and started it, the growl of the engine making my heart pound.
