"We meet again"

14

I wake up early, 7:30, probably because I slept and cried all day yesterday. Also because I had a lot on my mind keeping me up.
I find Tyler in the kitchen making me a bowl of cereal and coffee.
"Morning. How are you feeling" he asks.
"Better now I see you. Did you make me this fancy breakfast" I joke grabbing a spoon and head over to the couch to turn on the tv. NHL network is always on my tv.
"... Seguin out the next 3 games from breaking the leagues rules. He will be out against the Avalanche, Panthers, and Blackhawks which is a big game. It's not December yet and he is causing a lot of drama for this team already. The team better be ready against these teams without him in the line up. More from coach next up" I hear the guy from NHL network say.
"Tyler... what are they talking about? Suspended? Out 3 games? What? For what? Is this because of me?"
"Yeah. It's alright. And no of course not. Not your fault at all El. I signed that contract too. I don't care if I play with them again, you're more important anyway." he gives me a kiss on my forehead and sits next to me.

The broadcast comes back on and it's coach getting interviewed.
"So what will your lineup miss most from Tyler Seguin not playing for the next 3 games from a suspension breaking the leagues rules? Will it hurt him and will he be back after?"
"Uhm- Tyler is a huge part of our lineup. He's a big, forceful guy who will make our opponent lose the puck and he's a big goal scorer for us. It's really unfortunate this has to have happened this early in the season but he will be back after the league gets it all sorted out and we'll be back on a winning streak. Thanks guys. No more questions"

Wow.

Now it's time to tell Jamie and my family what had happened. I still don't know what I will do. Should I stay, go back home, go to Boston, or what? I know they are sorting out my apartment situation. Since the team was paying for it and I am no longer apart of it. I am moving in with Tyler until I figure out what want to do.

I told my mom, brother, and Jamie.
My mom was disappointed but not mad or upset with me because she didn't a guy would ever get in my way and have me lose my job over him and that Tyler must mean something to me. My brother just had a 'I knew it' and a 'I told you' moment but he was sad for me and said he could get me a job with the flames if I come back. And Jamie, he was sad fir me also but also knew this would happen and not able to hide it forever just like I knew. From the start, he's always told me to break it off. It's not worth sneaking around having sex with Tyler to lose my job.

"Ellie, can I post something of us on Instagram or twitter to clear things up?"
" It didn't stop you before. That's why people started to have questions. The Halloween picture, you had your hand almost on my butt- under the friend picture waistline. The pic from us at dinner, you can zoom in and see your hand on my thigh. Your fan girls take these pics seriously and do some serious investigating."
"If you don't want me to, I won't."
"No go ahead, just let me post mine first"

I put pictures of me that was taken since I got here and had a long caption:
"So my time here in beautiful Dallas TX has ended. I want to thank the Dallas Stars organization for this opportunity being their athletic trainer.
Being an Athletic trainer has so many pros/ like traveling the world and meeting such great people like @jamiebenn and @tseguin99. I love you both so much and will truly miss these two.  Keep killing it out there on the ice. Thank you and sorry to everyone."

Tyler posts pictures of us. Some that people never have seen before.

"Ellie— you're the most badass, amazing girl ever and I'm so happy we met again. From CAN-BOS-DAL- to wherever we meet again next. You are the best AT out there. I love you as my best friend, AT, and my girlfriend. I'm so happy I don't have to keep this a secret and hide it any longer. Sure this is a cheesy thing to post but do I care? No. Please don't send any hate towards this girl. I'd take her over dating any model or anyone else any day. I'm sorry to all my fans who I let down. I'll be back in 3 games better than ever, they'll be sorry."

I finished reading it and looked at him. "Girlfriend?" And I look at all the comments pouring in. All the news articles on him and the drama with the team. What he's been saying about the Stars organization could get him traded or without a job too.
"Yeah I wrote girlfriend. I know I never asked you but it feels like we're dating and I like it like this. I do really like you Ellie. Even in Boston but I was such a fuck boy ,partied and knew a girl like you would never be around me. Do you want to be my girlfriend el?"
I smile "yes Tyler." We give each other a kiss.

This is all so crazy to me but I guess it's meant to be, I hope. I just don't know if I can put up with these comments about me especially now he confirmed us on Instagram and Twitter.

"Go kill yourself"
"Tyler and I dated and fucked around all the time"
"What's he doing with an ugly girl like you"
"Such a whore"
"Puck slut. Jersey chaser. What else are you hoe?"
"He's going to cheat on you if he hasn't already"
"Bitch. You're so ugly"
"Why isn't he dating a hot model or something? She doesn't even have a job now she got fired. She's just using Tyler for money and fame."

There's many more where that came from. I'll have to get used to it no matter how hard it is.

I lock my phone and throw it on the floor and cuddle up next to Tyler.
I don't want to go on social media for a while.

For the rest of the day, we watched tv, cuddled, napped, played games, cooked, and just layed in bed.
