Hockey Love

Chapter 7 - Sadness

Marie got some Kleenex's and went back to the couch; she sat down and started to cry again. CJ and Félicité walked in with shopping bags, "Hey, Marie. What's- are you ok?" CJ questioned, with a sense of worry in her voice.

"Not really. This has to be the worst day of the life!" Marie recalled, wiping one of her tears away with a Kleenex.

"Do you want to tell us what happened? Or are you too sad to talk about it?" Félicité asked Marie as she took a seat on the other side of the couch.

"First, where is Lacey and Tiffany?" Marie asked them, "Wait, don't answer that, their out with Liam and Brandon, again?" suspected Marie.

"You would be right, we went shopping and then Lacey and Tiffany went somewhere and I called them on her phone and they said they were on a date." Félicité faked smiled. She rolled her eyes and shrugged her shoulders.

"Ok so, this is what happened; I was reading my favourite book, doing things that I normally do. Then Matthew came, I turned the TV off because it had the news on. So, I politely invited him in, like I always do. He was going to say something until I sat on the remote." Marie started to explain.

"You sat on the remote? Smart, very smart," stated CJ.

"Shut up," demanded Marie. "I didn't know it was there. Anyways, when I sat on it, it turned the TV on to the news. He got mad at me for not telling him. He then said he loved me, he said it way to fast and when I heard him say it, he kissed me. Scott saw and that was the end." Marie explained.

"Wow, tragic love story. I'm going to talk to Scott tonight about what happened." CJ promised.

"Don't waste your time, he won't believe you. Since you weren't there, he would tell you differently." Said Marie getting up and pouring a cup of coffee.

"Then you tell him; he will believe you," suggested Félicité.

"He doesn't want to see me or even talk to me. Why would he want to hear what I have to say?" Marie questioned, shrugging her shoulders.

"Well, I'm going, and I swear I will talk to him." CJ told Marie.

CJ was in charge of driving Liam's truck. It felt so empty without Marie. When they got to the arena and walked inside, CJ began to talk, "You guys go and sit at your seats; I'll be there once I talk to Scott." CJ headed towards the locker room doors.

"Who are you?" A volunteer asked CJ, she put her arm up in front of CJ to make sure she doesn't get past her.

"I'm CJ." She introduced herself.

"Why are you down here?" The volunteer inquired.

"I need to talk to Scott Charleson." CJ said to her.

"Well, the game is about to starting soon, they're getting ready. No one is allowed back here." She explained.

"But, I know him; I need to talk to him." CJ told her, truthfully.

"Sorry, you can't." The volunteer declined.

"I swore to my friend that I would talk to him." CJ brought up.

She shook her head, "No."

Brendan walked past her with Quinton Howden, in their suits looking very sharp, "Brendan! Brendan!" CJ yelled, both Quinton and Brendan turned around and looked at CJ.

Brendan waved good-bye to Quinton and came over to CJ, "CJ, hey what's up?" Brendan asked.

"I'll tell you what's up, the person that I don't know the name of isn't letting me in." CJ stated.
