Hey guuuysss! Im really excited about this story! I hope you guys enjoy it as much as I do writing it. Okay.. enjoy!

Taylors P.O.V.

I wake up to Jason shaking me. I open my eyes and look at him. "Taylor your alarm was going off. I am going back to bed but good luck today!" I nod my head and get out of bed. I tuck him back in and kiss his head. I grab a towel and hop in the shower. I wonder what his bad dream was about that would make him cry so much. I will ask him when I am dressed. I finish my daily routine and look at the time. Enough time to talk to Jason and gets coffee for me and Freddy. I walk into the room and sit down next to Jason. I lightly shake him and he opens his eyes. "Hey bud. I was just wondering what your bad dream was about?" He sighed. "I knew you would ask. Well I dreamt that mom came back. She dragged me away from you guys and never let me see you ever again." Of course it had to do with mom. Ugh. I kiss his forehead. "Don't worry bud. She has to get through us hockey players first. Do you like what I'm wearing there?" I get off the bed and do a pose. I am wearing a Crosby shirt with some black skinny jeans. I have on some light blue vans and my hair is in a messy bun. I am wearing my cross and hockey necklace. I wear it everyday. He smiles. "They will love it!" I smile back at him and kiss his head. "Good luck. I hope this helps you!" I smile and walk out the door. I drive to maverick and get me and Freddy a French vanilla cappuccino. I know he loves them. I put ice in mine but not Freddie's. I pay then drive to the arena. Once I get there I go to my usual spot and wait. Jeff walks up and opens the door for me. "Hey Taylor! Right on time." I smile. "I tried. Is Freddy here yet?" He nods his head. "Yeah. He wanted to talk to you before he got out started. He has a schedule planned out and everything!" I smile. "Thank you! This means a lot to me. You have no idea." He gives me a side hug but is careful not to spill the coffee. "You know where his office is. I got some stuff to do. See ya later." I nod my head and walked towards Freddy's office. I knock on his door and he opens it. "Right on time." I laugh. Jeff had just said that too. "I got this for you!" He looks relieved. "I didn't have time to stop and get one. Thank you." I nod my head. "Okay follow me." I follow him out of his office and through the long and twisty hallways. We finally get in front of a door with the penguins logo on it. He grabs hold of my shoulders and looks me in the eyes, "Taylor, I need you to stay calm. Okay? Promise me." I gave him a weird look. Where are we going? I nod my head yes and he tells me to wait here. He walks in the room and returns a few seconds later. He holds the door open for me. "Come on in!" I step in and look at the familiar room I have only seen on YouTube. I am in the pens locker room! I look around and notice every player is staring at me. I am at a loss for words. I look at Freddy. I am frozen, I don't even know what to say. I finally find words. "WTF Freddy! You could have told me we were coming in here! I would have brought you TEN coffees!" Every one laughed at me. I realized I just said that in front of all the players. I look around but notice sidney Crosby first. He walks towards me and puts out his hand. I shake it. "Hi. I'm sidney, but judging by why your here and how you are dressed you know that already.." Every one laughs and I blush. "Yupp! Your amazingly talented and I have supported you all along! And my name is Taylor." He smiles. "Thank you. Nice to meet you by the way." I smile. "Oh believe me. I am being good because I promised Freddy I would be. I'm like having a miniature freak out in my head!" Every one laughs again and coach walks in. "Ah. You must be Taylor? I got told you would be joining us. Do you have skates?" I look at him weirdly. "Yeah. Um. Out in my car." He smiles. "Crosby!" Sidney walks back over to us from talking with the guys. I look at them and they are all nudging each other and smirking at us. "Yeah coach?" He smiles. "I want you to take Taylor out to her car so she can get her skates and get back in. Got your pass?" He nods his head. I turn towards Freddy and he smiles. "You know where to find me if you need me. But stop by my office on your way back. I got something you will need." I nod my head and sidney leads me outside. He makes small talk. "So do you play hockey?" I smile. "Yeah. Me and my brothers." He looks at me. "How many brothers do you have?" I stop and look into his brown eyes. They remind me of Chocolate (shhh I love my food okay!) I answer. "I have two brothers. One is one year older than me and is in college but still lives at home. His name is chasen. Then another one who is 15 and I'm closest to him, his name is Jason. He came with me to the game last night actually." He blushed and looked at the ground, "You saw me look at you?" He asked. He looked up and I nodded my head. He blushed even more so I decided to keep walking and he followed behind. "That goal was for you." I stop. "Wha-What? Wait! Don't you have a girlfriend mr?" He looks shocked. "Well. I was actually planning on bre-" I cut him off, "No! Your not breaking up with her for me!" He laughed. What was so funny about this? He finally got a hold of himself and said, "Don't take this the wrong way but it isn't entirely for you. I caught her cheating on me when I came home from practice. She didn't see me so yeah..." My jaw dropped. "I-I'm sorry I shouldn't have said anything. I can just say stuff with out thinking and it makes me sound narcissistic and stuff." I look up at him and he puts his hand on my cheek then pushes stray bangs away from my eyes. He started to lean in when an annoying voice broke us a part. "Oh my god sidney! What are you doing?" I make an excuse, "Is it still in my eye? It hurts!" He examines my eye for the invisible thing and says, "Got it. Hey Brittany." He walked over to her and out his hand on her shoulder. I laughed inside. I expected him to pat her head next. He kissed her cheek and she smiled. "What were you two doing?" I finally got a good look at her. He dated one of these chicks? Ha! I expected better. It looked like an orange crayon raped her face. Her boobs were hanging out of her shirt and she was chewing gum obnoxiously. Sidney stood behind her when he spoke to her. "She is job shadowing the athletic trainer because that is what she thinks she wants to do. Coach wanted me to bring her out here to get her hockey stuff when she got something in her eye and I was helping her get it out." He rolled his eyes and looked like he wanted to get rid of her. I held in laughter. She stuck out her hand. "Nice to meet you. I'm Brittany. I'm SIDNEYS girlfriend." I held in everything. It was easy knowing he was breaking it off. "I'm Taylor, nice to meet you crayo- Brittany." Sidney almost died of laughter when I almost called her Crayola. She gave me a glare and I walked to my car leaving sidney and Brittany there. I saw him pull her aside and she looked upset. He was doing it now. I direct my attention back to what I am doing and grab my skates. I unzip my zipper to my bag and slip the skates in. I'm about to zip it back up when I feel a tap on my shoulder. I prepare myself knowing it is Brittany. I turn around and put on a fake nice innocent smile. She was raising her hand to smack me when I grabbed her wrist. "Now why would you want to hurt me? I did nothing." She grunts in pain "It's all your fault he broke up with me!" I snort. "Have you looked in the mirror? It is after all probably your best friend. Tell me something. How many orange crayola crayons did it take to get that orange?" Her jaw drops. She kicks me in the shin but I hit her in the stomach and as she is on the ground clutching it I bend low and say, "he caught you cheating on him. It had nothing to do with me. I'm a fan who supports the whole team. Not just one player. Leave his money to him and go get your own. Come back, you'll go to jail. Got it?" She looks terrified. She nods her head and I zip up my bag and grab it. I shut my trunk and walk to sidney who's mouth is hanging open. "Close your mouth. You'll catch flies." He shuts it closed and follows me close behind. He catches up to me and we walk side by side. His hand brushes mine and I look down. I look over at him to see him blushing and looking at our hands. I smile and we get to the locker room door. He grabs my hand and stops me. "Taylor, I know I barely know you but would you like to go out to dinner sometime?" I nod my head yes and he kisses my cheek. He pulls out his phone and I do the same. I already knew he would want it. I put my number in and take a selfie of me and him and put it as my picture. I hand him back his phone and get mine back.i don't bother looking at it. I put it in my pocket and he gets the door for me. We walk in but no one is there, he sits me in his locker stalk thing and runs out. He comes back in out of breath. "You will need gear and everything. Coach wants to see what you got." I nod my head and pull my shirt off. I have a sports bra on underneath and I feel I can trust sidney. I out my gear on and tighten my skates then grab my stick. We walk out and sidney walks in front of me. He stops and announces my presence. "Every one! Let me announce the girl who can really help a man get rid of his crazy ex girlfriend! The one. The only. TAYYYYYLLLLLOOOOOORRRRR!!!!" The guys all tap there sticks on the ice and I step on it and turn a bit and bow. Then flower comes up. "What do you mean gets rid of crazy ex girlfriends?" I look at coach for permission for story time and he nods his head yes. All the boys sit down on the ice like kids in a kindergarten class would when it was story time. I sit on the bench on front of them and start. "Okay. Me and sidney were walking to my car talking about his girlfriend Brittany. He told me he has a crush on me and we were about to kiss when this really annoying voice was like 'Oh my god sidney, what are you doing?'" I try my best to imitate her voice and some of the guys laugh. I continue on. "So since me and sidney were that close I made up the excuse of having something in my eye and he was helping my get it out. He pretended he did and walked over to her and out his hands on her shoulders, I thought he was gonna pat her head next. So she was asking about me and he told her why I am here and stuff. Then she introduced herself to me as SIDNEYS girlfriend." I said trying to mock how she said sidney. "So I was like hi I am Taylor nice to meet you crayo- Brittany. I mean come on! Crayons had to rape her face! So I continued walking to my car while sidney broke up with her because he caught her cheating on him. Sorry Sid if you didn't want them knowing that if they didn't know." I paused and look at him and he made a gesture for me to go on so I did. "So I finished packing my skates into my bag when I felt her tap my shoulder. I tuned around and gave my best innocent smile. She raised her hand to smack me but I caught it. Then I said.l and I quote! Now why would you want to hurt me? I did nothing! She grunted for. Me holding her wrist so tight and she was like your the reason he is breaking up with me. I snapped on her and said, tell me something. How many orange crayons did it take to get that orange? She was shocked but kicked me in the shin. I defend myself if someone tries to physically harm me and I punched her in the stomach and told her to leave and that he had caught her cheating on him. Now here we are!" They all clapped. I bowed and gestured for sidney to do so. He finally did and all the boys were laughing. "It really does look like Crayola was her beauty product." I laughed and we all got to practice. I did suicides with them and showed them shoot out and we did some teams. It was great. Then I changed back and sidney took me to the athletic trainer. He was working on putting away medical supplies when he noticed us come in. "Ah. You must be Taylor. I heard you were coming to follow me around today." I smiled and shook his hand. "That is me. Nice to finally meet the guy who takes care of my boys." He laughs and looks at Sid. Sidney looks at me and raises his eyebrow. "Your boys?" I laughed and nod my head. He starts tickling me and I fall to the floor. He climbs over me and keeps tickling me. "Sid.... Stop... Losing....air.." I said in-between laughs. He finally stops and helps me up. I pull away from him as soon as I'm on my feet. I cross my arms across my chest and glare at him. He grabs my arms and pulls me towards him. He hugs me but I don't hug back. "Oh come on. You know I was only kidding. I still like you." He whispered the last part in my ear so Chris, the athletic trainer, couldn't hear it. I finally gave in and hugged him back. " I'll text you." He whispered again and I nodded. He left and I looked at Chris. He was smirking with his arms folded across his chest. I could feel my face getting red but ignored it. "What?" I asked the older man. He just chuckled and said, "Sid the Kid has got the hots for you." I blushed even more and laughed. I looked at the ground and he got the hint I didn't want to talk about it. "Okay. You can help me by putting these away. The names for where they go are on the outside and on the shelf." I nod my head and get to work. We were talking about what you do as an athletic trainer and he told me he would give me a tour of the place. Then we talked about me and hockey and then got back to sidney. "I have a date with him." I widened my eyes just realizing what I blurted out. He smiled and said, "You don't have to be ashamed. You two would look and be good for each other." I smiled a thanks and he gave me a tour. The place was amazing. I remembered Freddy had something for me. "Hey. Can we stop by Freddy's office? He said he had something for me." He nodded his head and we walked there. As soon as we got there I knocked on the door. "It's open!" Freddy yelled. I walked in and he smiled. "Good. It is about lunch time do you want to go get something?" That made me realize how hungry. I'm about to answer when my phone goes off indicating I have a text. I pull it out of my pocket and look at it. It's sidney. I click on it.
