If Only

Chapter 2

Taylor's POV
I wake up at 6:00 to find a text from Nico. "Hey Hallsy, want to hit D&D be4 going to mourning skate? Maybe the one on Liv. Ave? Idk." I guess I have to respond? "Sure, see you there at 7:00 ish?" He's typing. "Sounds gr8! See you then!" Great. Now I need to shower, get dressed, and drive all the way from the far side of  Jersey City to the middle of Livingston in an hour. Way to do it, Hallsy. I get out my nice outfits and choose which one to wear. Black suit it is. I hop into the shower and pop back out when my phone buzzes. Nico. Of course. "Sorry to cancel on you, but I need to get some stuff done around the house. Maybe next time." That's the same exact excuse that he used the last time. Well, I guess that I'll go to the Ritz then.

Blu's POV
I woke up to the sound of the chopper landing in the front of the new wing. After I get dressed into my Taylor Hall t-shirt and blue jeans. I head out extra early to go to a celebratory breakfast at the Ritz. When we get there, there is no one, except for a black van, which we assumed to be one of the waitresses'. When I go, the doors are locked, except for a man waiting in the vestibule who is talking to my mom, and he looked oddly familiar. Then it hit me. It was him. I asked, "Are you Taylor Hall?" He chuckled. "Yeah, and you are..." I interrupt. "Blu, and I'm coming to the game tonight." "You are, eh. Well, I'll guess I'll see you there. Coach Hynes has said wonderful things about you." I froze at an instant. Taylor already knew me? All of my wishes had come true. Then the door opens.

Taylor's POV
Of course, I had to invite someone to breakfast with me, or else I would be lonely. So I asked Travis if he wanted to tag along, which he obviously couldn't deny. Then the kid freaks out. He was so happy. I then nodded at Travis. He said "And you must be Blu." The poor kid was hyperventilating at the speed of light. It's always a little cool to see mega fans' reactions. So we waited for another 20 minutes when the diner opened, and gladly stepped inside. We decided to sit together, while his mom sits over in the other corner of the restaurant, talk a little more, and just let him know two friendly faces that he can come to in the locker room. Then he takes off his jacket. My mind plants an ear to ear smile on my face. He was wearing my shirt. I like this guy.

Blu's POV
So I'm sitting at a table with my biggest celebrity crush and his teammate, trying to look cool. He seems like such a good guy, with the most attractive face I have ever seen. I order a burger, like I always do when I come here. Taylor got blueberry pancakes, and Travis got some fruit. Me being the 24 year old that I am, thought that it would be a good idea to steal a bite of Taylor's pancakes when he wasn't looking. Let me tell you that hockey players see everything in sight. He noticed that I had taken a forkful, but then when I went to the bathroom, a third of my fries were gone. Gee thanks a lot, Taylor. But he's just so hot...
