Only Girl in the NHL

Chapter 7

Phoenix's P.O.V.

It was 11:30 the next morning when we finally arrived in Vegas. We had a day off before we had to play the Golden Knights the next night, so we could do anything we wanted to today.

We got to our hotel and dropped everything off in our rooms. I knocked on Sid and Geno's door and asked them if they wanted to go do something, they both said 'sure'. Then I went over to Kris and Jakes door and asked the same thing, they both agreed to come with us. "So where are we going?" Jake asked from the back seat of the cab "we're going to my dads haunted museum" I smiled. I texted one of my dad's employees, Staysha, and asked her if my dad was at the museum, she said that he was so I decided to bring a few of the guys and go over to surprise him. "Your dad owns a haunted museum?" Sid questioned with a small chuckle "yeah. He's a weird guy" I told them with a laugh.

"Ok, we're here" I said exactly as we all got out of the cab. After signing a waiver and waiting in line for 25 minutes, we finally made it to the front of the line where my dad was standing talking to Angry Joe. "Hey stranger! What brings you here to a haunted museum?" I questioned him with a big smile "hey! What are you doing here?" He asked while giving me a big bear hug "we're playing against the Golden Knights tomorrow night and I thought it would be fun to bring a few of the guys here for some fun and to see if they'll get scared here" I said as I pulled out of the hug. "Great! Well I'll let you guys inside the waiting area and I'll go on the tour with you guys, is that cool?" He asked "of course" we all said as they guys, a few other people and I walked inside. I payed for all our tickets then we waited for Staysha, our first tour guide, to show up.

After walking around for a while, we finally made it to the fun house part of the tour, the only part of the tour that really freaks me out. "Sid, you go first" I said as I pushed him in front of me "what? Why?" He questioned "because I said so" I nervously laughed. I started walking past the clowns with my back against the walls, not looking at them. Once we turned the small corner I could see a clown jump out at another person "fuck my life" I said loudly, making the guys and dad laugh at me. Once I got somewhat past the clown, it jumped out at me, making me scream and fall to the floor and start crying a little bit.

If you can't tell by now, I really hate clowns.

Sid, Geno, Kris and my dad were in front of Jake and I. Jake helped me stand up and told me to start walking, after a few seconds I heard some fast foot steps coming from behind us, so I started to turn around to see what it was. "Phoenix no" Jake said, but it was to late, I saw the clown from before running towards us. I jumped 6 feet in the air and started running away. I got in front of the guys and hugged my dad "why the fuck did you think that was a good idea?" I said in a panicked voice "because of you" he laughed and rubbed my back a little bit "you're an asshole, you know that right?" I pouted making him and the guys laugh again. After the tour was over the guys and I went back to the hotel.

Just as I sat down on my bed, I got a text from dad saying that my grandma and aunt and her kids were at his house and that I should go over to visit for a bit, so that's what I decided to do. I texted coach and told him that I was visiting some family and that I wasn't at the hotel at the moment, he replied with an ok.

The cab pulled up to my dads house after about 15 minutes of driving. I went to the back yard to see if anybody was back there, they weren't. So I unlocked my sliding door that is connected to my bedroom and went inside to surprise everybody.

I walked quietly down the stairs to see everybody sitting in the living room watching tv. I slipped into the kitchen and grabbed a beer before walking into the living room and standing behind everyone. I stayed quiet for a few minutes before I spoke up "what are we watching?" I asked as I took a sip of beer (please don't under age drink lol) "oh my god! Birdie" my aunt Meredith yelled as she jumped up to hug me "hey" I said with a big laugh as I hugged her back. "What are you doing here?" She asked once everyone was done hugging me "my team and I have a game here tomorrow night and dad told me that y'all were here so I thought I should come visit" I told her with a smile.

After hanging out with my family for a while, I noticed that it was getting late so I decided to head up to my bedroom for the night. I told Coach that I was to tired to call a cab and that I was just going to crash at my dads place, he did that it was fine and that I need to be at the rink on time for a quick practice. The reason why I'm texting Coach and telling him where I am is because I don't want him to send out a search party for me.
