Hockey Superstar and I

Chapter 7: Start Over Maybe?

He parked the car in the driveway and I ran into the house and to my room. I stood infront of the mirror, my cheek was bruised. I looked at my arms, and his hand prints were highlighted red on them. Never in my life, had someone raised their hand on me.

I felt so much anger within me, i couldn't believe I liked that jerk.

Alyssa your a dumbass for liking him.

I dropped down on the ground and leaned up against the wall and pulled my knees in and rested my head on them.

Thoughts of Sidney raced through my mind, everything he did for me I could never repay him for.

Just thinking about him was putting me in a trace. His deep hazel eyes, so perfect that you could get lost in them. His big red lips, that i wanted to kiss so bad.

No matter how hard I tried I couldn't get him off my mind, was I falling for him?

No...no this can't happen...

...... He'll never like a girl like me...

I'm not good enough for him.....

"Ugh" I grunted.

What surprised me most about Crosby, was under all that "i don't give a shit about anyone cover" he such a caring person. I don't know why he had put up this wall, but i planned on taking it down. He's much more fun to be around when he isn't an egoistic asshole.

My mind wandered away. What had forced him to be like this? What happened to the NHL cover boy who was a sweet heart to everyone and never said anything to upset anyone. I planned on finding out how he had developed this rude personality.

A knock on my door disturbed my thoughts "Why are you sitting on the ground?"

I looked up to meet the deep hazel eyes I was falling for "Um... no reason"

He came over to me and extended his hand. I reached for it and he pulled me up and I hit his toned chest. I closed my eyes soaking in the warmth coming off him.

I slowly backed away from him. He smiled at me, causing my cheeks to burn red.

Alyssa stop this now!

He has a girlfriend, he doesn't like you. Stop!

He moved close to me, his hand rested on my cheek, his soft thumb stroked my skin, and examined the bruise that had been put on my skin "Did he?"

I nodded my head slowly. His touch sent shivers down my spine. I knew he could feel the affect he had on me. I slowly backed my steps away from him, not wanting to give his ego more of a boost.

"Alyssa I'm sorry about that"

I'll never understand people that say sorry, when its not their fault.

"Don't be, its not your fault. And I deserved it for liking that jerk" I spoke and tears slipped down my face.

He pulled me in and wrapped his strong muscular arms around me "No, Alyssa, no one deserves that"

I cried softly into his chest, soaking his silk shirt with my tears. His arms were secure around me and I felt like nothing could hurt me, with him by my side. I looked up and met his deep hazel eyes, which were looking down at me. I was getting lost in his beautiful eyes, I couldn't help myself.

Alyssa! Snap out of it!

..... Now....

I pulled back from him and walked over to my bed and plummeted down on it. Sid came over to my side "Alyssa I know we got off on wrong foot, but I really want to start over, is that okay with you?"
