Avalanche Territory (NHL Gabe Landeskog)

Chapter 15: Leave

I'll take you to the candy shop, I'll let you lick the lollipop. Go 'head girl don't you stop, keep goin' till you hit the spot. Whoa! I'll take you to the candy shop. Boy one taste of what I got, I'll have you spending all you got, keep going till you hit the spot, whoa!

I let the music play in the back as I set up my camera, curling onto the couch and pulling my lap top onto my lap.

Everyone had been asking for a question and answer so I had finally caved and decided that I guess it wouldn't be such a bad idea. I pressed record and made a face, not sure on how to start but jumping head first into it anyways.

--

"What are you doing?" Gabe asked as I looked for a few more questions.

"Yo." I stated.

He fell onto the couch beside me, taking the laptop and looking at it himself, laying behind me so I was cradled into his waist.

"What's your favourite animal?" He asked, looking up from the screen.

"Dogs, and horses." I stated, trying to look away from the hypnotic blue eyes.

I pulled the plug on my camera, then unplugged my computer as well. The video posted as I walked lazily up the stairs, slipping onto the bed beside Gabe.

"We have a game." I yawned.

"We have a bed." He replied.

He tugged on the waistband of my sweatpants, his lips moving silently across my collarbone.

"Gabriel." I whispered, wanting him to do whatever he wanted to me but knowing if we were late the team would be raged.

"Babe." He stated, his accent suddenly heavy making it hard to understand even the simplest of words.

"We-" I started, only to be stopped by his phone that rang from the table beside the bed.

He flopped back onto his back, hand reaching for his phone to check the caller ID, his moms name appearing as he sat up and pressed the device to his ear. I didn't understand much because his English turned to Swedish and his calm demeanour turned dark and cloudy, whatever was happening on the other end wasn't pleasant on this end.

Gabe finally hung up, tossing the phone onto the bed as he yanked a duffle from the closet and tossed in armfuls of clothes.

"Hey." I stated, grabbing his wrist as he spun for the bathroom. "What's up?"

"Bea got into an accident." He stated quickly, pulling himself from my grasp.

I thought quickly, Bea? Who is Bea?

"Your sister!?" I asked, jumping up to follow his ranting steps.

"Yes Raiyne." He stated.

I creased my brows as he jogged down the stairs, "At least let me drive you then." I stated, grabbing his wrist again.

This time he didn't try and fight me, his blue eyes were clear and blood shot. It was only a matter of time until his hair would poke out in all directions from his shaking hands running through it, so I placed my hands on both sides of his face catching a few tears with my thumbs.

"She's going to be ok." I told him, my voice low as he nodded. "Gabe I promise."

He didn't say anything but the hurt written in his face pained me more than anything in my life, the fact that he was being torn apart was heart shattering so I pulled him towards me and wrapped my arms around his neck, his forehead ending up on my shoulder as he wrapped his arms around my waist and buried his face in my neck.
