Just Hold Me (Sidney Crosby) EDITING THEN CONTINUING

Chapter 27 - The Game Part 2

You guys are going LOVE LOVE LOVE this chapter. Just sayin'.

We walk hand in hand to the arena, after Sidney opened my door of course. I walk closer to him, gaining

warmth despite the icy wind slapping my cheeks.

We walk into the arena, his grip tightening as we enter the heated building. My cheeks sting from the sudden

temperature change.

He nods to a few security guards as he pulls me by my hand down the same long hallway as before.

He knocks on the door to make sure everyone is properly clothed before we enter. We are given the OK as we open the door.

A group of guys are huddled in the shower room in front of some mirrors.

"What's going on guys?" Sidney asks, stepping toward them.

"Our razors are gone, and we need to shave."

Then Letang comes running out of the showers with 3 shaving razors between his fingers on each hand, like claws, and shaving cream on the sides of his cheeks.

He is running around screaming, "I AM WOLVERCREAM."

Well guys, there's your razors.

"YEAH! COME NO CLOSER, FOR I AM THE WOLVERCREAM AND IIII—" He is interrupted by Flower.

"Shut up Kris! Gimme back my razor!"

I laugh as Sidney leads me over to his stuff.

"I'm gonna change in there. Okay?" Sidney says, referring to the shower room.

"Oh. Okay." I say, smiling.

"Okay." He says, smiling then walking away.

I look around the locker room and see everyone talking loudly amongst themselves.

I see Kris Letang at his locker thing next to the shower room talking to Maatta.

"I don't consider myself hip. I'm like..shoulder."

"No, you're an ass!" Someone in the shower room says, leaving a big echo.

"You know what?" Letang says, scampering to his feet, hopping over his hockey bag, and into the shower room to confront the voice.

I laugh to myself.

Dupuis sits down next to me in Sid's locker thing.

"I have a question." He says to me, folding his hands at his knees.

"Okay." I say to him.

"If I cut off my foot and like swing it at your head, am I hitting you or kicking you?"

I give him a stupid look.

"You're so stupid."

"Answer thy question young one!"

"Well, from my perspective, you'd be mentally scarring me more than anything else."

He scoffs, standing up from beside me.

"Women. They can't understand."

I laugh as he walks away, with sarcastic swagger in his step.

Flower walks up to his locker beside Sid's. I eye him as he stands right beside me.

"Hey Hannah?" He asks, looking down at me.

"Yep?"

"Can I borrow your deodorant?"

"What? No! I don't have guy deodorant!"

"I don't want guy deodorant."

"But you're a guy."

"So?"

I look at him like he is crazy.

"Why do we have gendered deodorants? I AM A GROWN ASS MAN AND I WANT TO SMELL LIKE COCOA BUTTER KISS THEN I FUCKIN' WILL." He says to me.

"Oh my goodness Flower." I say to him, in disbelief of his statement.

I stand up as Flower looks at me again.

"Is there a word that's a mix between angry and sad?"

Looking for words to describe his feeling towards gendered deodorant. Way to go Flower. Woot. Woot.

I try to hold back the urge of laughter.

I answer with a straight face.

"Um, let's see. Malcontented, disgruntled, miserable, desolated.."

"Smad." Someone says from behind me.

Sidney stands there behind me, having overheard our conversation.

"There are two types of people in this world." Flower says, making us laugh.

Us. I love that word right now.

Before either of us could speak, someone starts singing.

"HEY THERE DELILAH WHAT'S IT LIKE IN YOUR VAGINA?"

Sid places a hand on his forehead and stares at the ground.

"Here we go." He says to himself.

They all start singing, each having a line of their own.

"I'M A THOUSAND MILES AWAY, BUT GIRL I'D LIKE TO GET INSIDE YA."

"YES I DO. NO GIRL CAN SCREW AS GOOD AS YOU."

"I SWEAR IT'S TRUE. HEY THERE DELILAH, DON'T YOU WORRY 'BOUT PROTECTION. I'M EVEN HARDER WHEN YOU'RE LONELY. TAKE A LOOK AT MY ERECTION."

"CLOSE YOUR EYES. I WANNA GET BETWEEN YOUR THIGHS. TIL I'M INSIDE."

"OOH I WISH YOU WOULD DO ME."

"OH, WISH YOU WOULD SCREW ME."

"GUYS! SHUT UP! HANNAH'S IN THE ROOM!" Sidney shouts.

I laugh as it goes silent.

"That was hilarious." I say.

Someone starts again. Except this song I found really annoying.

"WHAT DOESN'T KILL YOU MAKES YOU STRONGER—"

"What if I cut off your left leg?" say calmly, before someone else can continue.

It is silent.

"Would that make you stronger?"

*cricket sounds*

"Would it?"

"WELL IT'S TIME TO GO. COME ON!" Someone shouts. Everyone scampers out the door.

I feel someone smack my bum from behind as the guys flood around me. I whip around to see no one. Whoever did is lost in the crowd.

I see Sidney at the door waiting for me.

Wasn't him.

Huh.

I walk up to him.

"You're the best." He said, smiling. He makes his way to the rink as the game began.

I sat down on the bench with many others.

"Am I taking up someone's spot?" I ask, leaning down the line.

I get a few nods that say 'no'.

As the puck is dropped I try to focus on my Sidney, but that butt smack from someone made me feel uneasy.

(A/N: So? Who do you think smack her booty? Take a guess! Tell me what you think!)
