Life with the WAGS

Saint Louis Feeling

A few days later, my alarm goes off! I have a flight from Los Angles to Saint Louis for an appearance at the away game for the Penguins. Feeling my heart racing, I leave a little note for Travis. The ride to LAX was madness. Saint Louis here I come! The team gets on the jet. Sidney and Matt sit down. I look at them and I fall asleep. Three hours later, the jet lands and the team gets off. Kris offers to get a rental car. We're in the car heading to the Enterprise Center. I'm thinking about the game tonight and I have some worried thoughts. A few moments later, Matt points out Busch Stadium. We laugh and the radio plays a song.
Gloria, you're always on the run now.
Running after somebody, you gotta get him somehow.
I think you've got to slow down, before you start to blow it.
I think you're headed for a breakdown, so be careful not to show it
You really don't remember, was it something that he said?
All the voices in your head calling, Gloria?
Gloria, don't you think you're fallin'?
If everybody wants you, why isn't anybody callin'?
You don't have to answer
Leave them hangin' on the line, oh-oh-oh, calling Gloria
Gloria (Gloria), I think they got your number (Gloria)
I think they got the alias (Gloria) that you've been living under (Gloria)
But you really don't remember, was it something that they said?
All the voices in your head calling, Gloria?
A-ha-ha, a-ha-ha, Gloria, how's it gonna go down?
Will you meet him on the main line, or will you catch him on the rebound?
Will you marry for the money, take a lover in the afternoon?
Feel your innocence slipping away, don't believe it's comin' back soon
And you really don't remember, was it something that he said?
All the voices in your head calling, Gloria?
Gloria, don't you think you're fallin'?
If everybody wants you, why isn't anybody callin'?
You don't have to answer
Leave them hangin' on the line, oh-oh-oh, calling Gloria
Gloria (Gloria), I think they got your number (Gloria)
I think they got the alias (Gloria) that you've been living under (Gloria)
But you really don't remember, was it something that they said?
Are the voices in your head calling, Gloria?
The Enterprise Center is rocking out and I grab my seat. I get a text message from Travis.
Text Conversation:
Vanessa, I got your note saying you're in Saint Louis. What brings you to the city?
The Penguins are playing the Blues and the team wanted the best good luck charm.
I'm at our practice stadium. I should be with you cheering on the team.
You found yourself a great cheerleader but I can't believe it.
What's wrong?
Nothing. I'm okay.
You sure you're okay?
I'm sure. I have to go the game is getting ready to start. Have fun at practice.
Have fun at the game!
As the game starts, I focus on the action. Sidney and his line are on the ice and it gets physical. I look to the Jumbotron and notice a fight. The first period ends and I get a notification from Instagram. Opening the app up, I see Travis and Rob at the practice field. I smile and I comment @thevixenviper721 looking great guys! The second period of the game starts and I look worried. Twenty minutes later, the Blues celebrate victory. I group chat Rob and Travis.
Group Chat:
Hey guys, the Penguins lost.
Oh no! How is Sidney doing?
I'm not sure. He hasn't come out of the locker room.
Sidney might be taking the loss really hard right now.
Yeah Sidney just needs space. I'm thinking about going to a baseball game with Kris.
I'm still planning that fashion show.
I completely forgot about that!
Travis, you need models?
Yeah. Do you know anybody?
Travis, it's Rob his friendship with Tom is amazing 
Truthfully I have a lot of friends who model.
Thanks Rob!
I have to go! Sidney came out of the locker room.
As the group chat ends, Sidney looks at me sad.
