Just Hold Me (Sidney Crosby) EDITING THEN CONTINUING

Chapter 26 - The Game

I pull on my dark jeans that were folded on the bed. I decide to keep Evgeni's sweatshirt on because I think my V-neck is see through with just a bra and it's really warm and comfy. Our struggles.

"Hannah? We need to go back to your house and get your stuff. You're not staying there till I know that idiot is in jail."

I look up and see Sidney standing in the doorway.

I look over at him and nod my head. I walk over to him slowly and just softly wrap my arms around him.

I just need a hug.

I sigh against him as he squeezes me against him.

He rests his chin on the top of my head and I listen to his calming heartbeat. I soak him in. I mold him to my body for those few moments so I can remember every little thing.

"Okay?" He asks, looking down at me.

I look up at him, my arms still wrapped around his sides, and nod.

"Where am I going to stay. Maybe my grandma or my uncle's or something."

"You can just stay with me if you'd like."

"I don't know Sid. We only started dating like 3 days ago." I say, smiling.

His eyes hardened.

"Time doesn't matter. I love you. That's all that matters."

I smile as I push my head against his soft chest once more.

"Am I interrupting?" Geno asks from behind Sidney.

"No." I say, pulling off Sid and giving him a flirtatious smile. I bite my lip as i turn around to gather some of my stuff I had left around.

*Sidney's Point of View*

I look over at Geno.

"I'm weak in the knees." I say, referring to Hannah.

"I know. It obvious."

Hearing that, I stand up straighter and try to harden my face.

Geno laughs at me.

"You stupid." He says, laughing.

Hannah turns around and looks at us from across the room.

"What's so funny?"

"Nothing." I reply.

"Come on. I love to laugh." She says with a smile.

I breathe, shuddering through the exhale.

She bends over to pick up a lip gloss that fell from the pocket of her jeans.

"Damn." I say, bending down a little to inspect that fine--

Geno punches me.

I look at himas though he's crazy.

"WHAT?" I whisper shout at him.

He sends me a look of discipline.

"That wasn't disrespectful!"

"Yes it was." He says whispering in a quick tone.

"All I was doing was --" I was interrupted from our whisper war by Hannah tapping on my shoulder.

"We should probably get going. You guys have to be there for practice really early right?"

"Yeah. Best to go now." I say, coldly turning my head from her to Geno.

He shoots me a look.

I squint my eyes at him as Hannah lightly pushes me though the door.

"You guys are mean." I say referring to their behavior towards each other sarcastically.
