One Last Shot

19, Houston

Nineteen – Houston

Less than 5 seconds and I managed to fuck up the best 3 months of my life. Besides hockey the best thing to enter my life by far would be Addison and the kids. I've had the entire day and a half to myself to just fester on it. There really wasn't anything I could have done differently. I swore it was her until it was too late because we pull one another back like that all the time.

Me - I miss talking to you.

I had to text her. I had to try, I know she said she just needed time and I get that, but I've seen her every day for the past 6 months. Every single day, even just video call. She's my best friend, we talk constantly, and she's the first person I want to tell anything and sitting here in my living room with breakfast in front of me, that I don't want to eat. I feel lost. It's game day and for the first time ever I don't even want to play.

Tommy - You good? Want us to swing over?

Me - I'm good, see you tonight.

Tommy - Seriously Tiana and I don't mine we will come over and hang out.

Me - It's cool man be with your girl, I'm going back to bed anyway.

Tommy - Let me know if you change your mind

I tossed my phone to the other side of the couch knowing Addison wasn't going to answer just like she didn't the last 28 hours. Within minutes it was ringing, and I scrambled to grab and answer the FaceTime call without paying attention to who it was so when my sisters face popped up I wasn't exactly thrilled. I've been dodging calls for the past two days.

"Oh, good you are alive, what did you do! If I was there, I'd smack you so hard!"

"Logan calm down."

"Calm down?! Have you seen the shit that have posted about you on TMZ and a few other sites? Like why isn't your guy on this??"

"What are you talking about?"

"Houston, they have pictures of you kissing some bimbo that obviously isn't Addison. When I Face Timed her after a bunch of texts and one word replies she was all but in tears at her Mom's place so again...what did you do you idiot?"

"Sweetie calm down, were all upset but yelling at him isn't going to help anything." I heard my mom in the background. After running my hand down my face and blowing out a breath I finally answered.

"It wasn't what it looked like."

"That's what all cheaters say." She was pissed I could see it in the way her eyebrow was arched.

"I'm not, I didn't cheat on Addison. You know how she pulls me back to her for that one last kiss before I have to leave?" She nodded. "This girl did that. I thought it was Addi until the chick's lips hit mine. Addi walked away cameras must have clicked but I snapped. I yelled at the girl and ran to the bathroom to puke. I didn't cheat on Addison I couldn't even if I wanted to." My sisters jaw dropped. "Yea exactly, and she won't talk to me and it has been hell. I'm supposed to play later but can't even get my head in it."

"Houst..."

*ding dong*

I shook my head a few times before groaning and getting up to answer the door. I opened it and Colin walked right in. My phone still in my hand with Logan and my mom in view.

"Alright man look I did everything I could but she's driving me nuts. She showed up at 5 this morning and hasn't stopped. I mean the plan was for everyone to come over around 8 to help with some wedding stuff, but you knew that, and she shows up at 5! FIVE IN THE MORNING!"
