Hockey Superstar and I

Chapter 6: Unhidden

His strong arms wrapped around my back "Hey everything's going to be alright"

"W...why d..did you help me?" I stuttered.

"Because He could have ruined your entire life" he spoke as he rubbed my back.

"T..thank you Sid" I spoke. He took off his jacket and put it on top of me. "C'mon lets go home"

He held onto me and walked me out of the room. We walked back into the bar and everyone stopped and started staring at me. Tears began falling out of my eyes again.

"Alyssa what happened?" asked Ashley as she pushed through the crowd.

"Ask questions later, lets just get her home, she isn't doing too good" spoke Sid in a stern voice.

Why was he helping me? He hated me.

"Sid" a preppy voice called and I immediately knew it was Sarah. She gave me a disgusted look and then looked at Sid.

"Babe come join us" she smiled.

"Can't you see I'm in the middle of something?" he spoke rudely to her. His tone surprised me.

I began coughing I did not at all feel so good. I felt my knees go weak and my head spun. "ALYSSA" I heard Ash scream. Sid immediately hoisted me up and I leaned against his body for support. "Sarah move out of the fucken way" he yelled. She did as told and moved. We reached the parking lot and Sid helped me get into the car. Ashley sat at the back with me and Sid began driving.

Goosebumps covered my arms, I was freezing and felt terribly sick. The more I thought about what happened the more my head hurt. I still could not believe Sid helped me, but then again he would have done it for anyone else as well. After all he does have a sister and so he knows what it would be like if something like this were to happened to her.

I could not believe Tyler could do this to me, I always thought he was different, but I was wrong. I began crying again and Ashley immediately wrapped her arms around me "Hey everything's going to be fine"

Sid pulled over and got out of the car and came over to my side of the car and opened the door. He grabbed my arm and pulled me out of the car and closed the door. His hands wiped away my tears and then he cupped my face "Alyssa you have to forget about what happened, you can't let it haunt you. He was a jerk, forget about him" he spoke.

Was this an act or was he truly concerned about me?

He wrapped his arms around me and I sobbed into his chest. His arms wrapped around me tight and I felt so safe, so secure. "Shhh everything will be fine" he said as he rubbed my back.

I just wanted to melt away in his hold, I looked up into his eyes and my heart summersaulted. He gave me a sincere smile, this was a side of him I had never seen and was quite surprised.

"Let's head home" he spoke. I got back into the car and looked out the window. Sid began driving again.

My thoughts raced, did I have the wrong opinion about Sid? Was I too quick to judge him?

Whatever it was, I could feel myself being drawn to him even more.

Sid took a left turn and then pulled up into the driveway. He shifted the gear and put the car in park. He took out the keys, and opened the door for me to get out. He held the door open as I got out and then gripped my shoulders and directed me into the house. The door opened before we even got to the porch and there they were..... Neal and Staal looking down at us. "What happened to you Alyssa...you look so.." Neal. I pushed back tears, but i couldn't help myself, they trickled out off my eyes. I pushed through Neal and Staal, surprising them, Sid chasing after me. As soon as I entered the room I locked the door and slid down to the ground and cried.
