That night I decided to watch the hockey game Penguins vs. Flyers on my buses TV. The Penguins eventually won the game 4-3 with Sidney getting two goals. I didn't watch a lot of hockey but, I had to admit - I was impressed by him.
The next morning I woke up and realized I should get ready to have breakfast with Sidney. Just when I got dressed I heard a knock on the door. Thinking it was Dan or someone from the band I went to answer it without thinking. I opened the door to see Mike.
"Mike, what are you doing here?" I asked.
"Not happy to see me?" He said jokingly.
"Of course." I said giving him a hug.
"I thought I would surprise you."
"Oh.. well.. I was just about to leave in a half an hour or so."
"Are you going somewhere so important that you can't cancel to spend time with your boyfriend."
"No, I guess not."
"Good." he said smiling
God, I hated myself. What was Sidney going to think? We went inside the bus and sat down on my bed and started watching TV. I got up from the bed and went to the bathroom. I came out and saws Mike looking through my phone.
"Who's Sidney?" he asked with an angry voice.
"What?" I said trying to act like I didn't know anything.
"Sidney just called you.. who is he?"
"Shit.." I said under my breath. "Oh, he's just someone new that's helping us do the concert tonight."
"What did he call you?"
"I don't know. Can I have my phone so I can call back and find out?"
"Yeah." he said handing me my phone.
I walked outside to call Sidney back.
"Hello?" he answered.
"Sidney.. I'm sorry I can't come to breakfast today."
"Why?"
"Um.. my boyfriend showed up out of nowhere."
"Your boyfriend?" he said sounding kinda disappointed.
"Yes, I'm sorry for not telling you before. We just didn't get the chance to really talk that much."
"It's okay. And, yeah I know. Well.. can we start talking more? I want to be friends."
"Yeah, sure. That sounds great."
"Okay, good. So, I'll talk to you later?"
"Yepp. Bye."
"Bye." he said and I hung up the phone.
I walked back into the bus. "What did he want?"
"Oh.. just wanted to double check on our set for the concert tonight."
"Oh.. okay."
[three months later]
Sidney and I have been texting and talking to each other non-stop since that day. He soon became my best friend I told him everything. I knew he had feelings for me.. he admitted it. And, we were still completely comfortable with each other even with me knowing that.
'So, how was your day?' he asked me over text.
'Ehh.. Mike and I had another fight. -sigh-'
'I'm sorry.. I don't mean to sound like.. you know. But, why are you still with him? I mean, you fight like.. pretty much everyday. It doesn't seem worth it.'
'I know.. It's just.. I don't really know.'
'You deserve sooo much more. You're a smart, fun, beautiful woman. He's just.. blahh.'
'Thank you, best friend <3'>'Yeah, best friend..'

chapter one.
'Sid, don't be like that.'
'I know.. I'm sorry.'
'It's fine. I forgive you :)'
'I know.'
'It's time for your nap.. have a nice nap. good luck tonight :)'
'Thank you. <3'>'Byee, best friend <3'
I sighed as I put my phone on the counter next to me. I needed to do something.. and, I need to do it now. I was started to develop feelings for Sid.. there was no hiding it. But, first I needed to break up with Mike. And, Sid needs to prove to me that he's not like all the other guys. Yes, Sid has tried soo hard to get me. He's proved to me that he in dead has feelings for me. Randomly showing up at some of my shows or big events. But, he needs to prove that he won't break my heart if I let him in. I picked up the phone and dialed Mike's phone number.
"Hello?" he said when he picked it up.
"Mike, we need to talk. Can you come to my house?"
"Yeah, Sure."
"Okay, see you then."
"Bye."
I sighed as I hung up the phone. This isn't going to be easy. Mike showed up shortly after.
"What's wrong babe?"
"I..I.." I said as we sat down on the couch. "I can't date you anymore."
"What? Why? It's because of Sid isn't it?"
"I have feelings for him.."
"I don't blame you.. I saw this coming."
"I'm sorry.."
"It's my fault. I should have left a long time ago. Instead of keeping you in a relationship you don't want to be in."
"Well.. I'll go. I hope you and Sid all the best." he said getting up from the couch and walking towards the door.
"Bye."
"Bye."
That night I laid in bed thinking about well.. everything. What was I thinking? Sid isn't going to want to date me. I made him wait way too long. He's probably way over me. Why didn't I listen to him a long time ago and just dumped Mike then? Sid and I would be together then.. and happy. Ugh.. whatever. I didn't even bother watching the hockey game tonight I just went to sleep.
The next day I barely talked to Sid. He was on his way back home but, I told him I had broke up with Mike. I've made up my mind. I didn't care what anyone thought of me being at the hockey game.. if they saw me. Sid was going to be in Pittsburgh and, I knew that. I needed to talk to him.. badly.. and in person. I sighed as I got on the plane to Pittsburgh. Tonight was the game.. and, I was going to get things straight.
I got off the plane around nine-thirty. I didn't need to be at the game till the end so, I could talk to Sid. I went straight to the arena after I got off my plane. I got to the game and realized it was in overtime. I went down to the locker room and watched it from the TV right outside of it and sat down on the bench. Before I knew it Sid scored the game winning goal. I smiled and just sat there.
I started seeing guys come off the ice. They all gave me a look none of them knowing why I was there. Sid being captain I knew he would be one of the last if not the last ones back to the locker room. Soon Sid came. He saw me sitting there and walked over to me and I stood up.
"Emily!" he said and gave me a big hug. I sighed loving the feeling of his arms around me.
I laughed, "Sid. It's kinda hard to hug you with your hockey gear on."
"I know. Sorry." he said smiling. "I can't believe you're here."
"Neither can I." I said looking down.
"Well.. I'm going to change and stuff. I'll skip the media today so, you don't have to wait."
"You don't have to do that."
"I know. But, I want to."
"Okay." I said smiling.
He left and went into the locker room. He didn't even ask why I was here. He was just happy I was here.
Sid's point of view
I walked into the locker room. I couldn't believe Emily was here.
"Sid!" I heard someone yell.
I turned around and saw Max.
"Yeah?" I asked.
"Why is she here?"
"I don't really know."
"Are you dating her?"
"No..." I sighed.
"Is that a sigh I hear? Does Sidney Crosby have a crush?" Max said smiling.
"What! Who!" Marc-Andre came from behind hearing what Max said.
"Emily." Max said grinning from ear to ear.
"Dude! She's like famous!" Marc yelled.
"Guys! Stop!" I yelled.
I walked away and went to get in the shower so, Emily wouldn't be waiting too long. I walked out of the shower and saw Emily in here with all the guys joking around. She looked over at me and I smiled. She smiled back and continued talking to Kris Letang. Marc walked over and told me they invited her in here so she wasn't all alone and if I minded. Of course I didn't mind.
I went to my stuff and put on my pair of dress pants. I was still very hot from the game. So, I decided not to put my shirt on yet. I walked over to Emily and the rest of the guys.
Emily's point of view
Max Talbot had invited me into the locker room so I wouldn't be alone. I walked in and he told me Sid was in the shower and, to just sit around and talk to the guys. I was having a lot of fun talking to and getting to know the guys. Kris Letang especially. He was extremely nice and funny along with Max and well.. pretty much all the guys. You should hear some of the things they would say.
Marc had walked away so I looked to see where he was going. I looked over and saw Sid in nothing but a towel. God, he had a nice body. He looked over and I smiled. He smiled back and I turned back around and said something to Kris.
I talked to the guys for a couple more minutes and looked to see if I could find Sid. I looked over and saw that someone he was talking to just left and he was alone. I noticed he still didn't have a shirt on and that made me happy for some reason.
"Hey." he said as I looked over to him.
"Hey. I haven't gotten to tell you this yet so, good game tonight." I said.
"Thanks. How about a hug now? No hockey gear." he said smiling at me.
"Okay." I said smiling back.
I got closer to him and put my arms around him. He wrapped his arms around me. It felt soo good in his arms. I don't remember ever feeling this way when I hugged anyone else. I breathed in. He smelled good after all, he did just get out of the shower. He eventually pulled away.
"How did you get here?" he asked me.
"Got a ride from the airport."
"Where are you staying?"
"I don't know yet. I haven't thought that much into it. I'll find a hotel somewhere."
He was shaking his head. "No, I won't allow that. You're going to stay at Mario's with me."
"Are you sure. I don't want to be a problem."
"You won't be a problem. Now, come on." he said putting on his shirt and jacket to my dismay.
