Chapter Ten

Kris left a week later to go visit his family. Sidney Crosby was having a big party for his birthday and was going to have the cup with him. So, I was going to go meet up with Kris and go to Sid's party with him. Kris and I started out talking on the phone daily. Lately he's said he's too busy to. So, I just let it go. He is with his family.

I got off the plane and saw Kris facing the other direction. I ran up behind him and jumped on his back. He turned around, smiled brightly and kissed me on the lips.
"Hey you" he said with a smile.
I replied with a "hey" and smiled back giving him another kiss. We drove to.Sid's party catching each other up on the everyday details of our lives and just enjoying each others company.

We got there and just started hanging out with the guys as usual. It was nice seeing and talking to them all again. Half way through I noticed Kris was gone a d went to look for him. I saw him in the kitchen talking to some girl I've never seen before. I stood back and listened to their conversation.
"Why are you here!? My girlfriend is here" he said in a whisper.
"I wanted to see you and party again! So just because your girlfriend is here you are going to forget everything that happened this summer?" She replied in the same whispered tone.
"What happened this summer shouldn't have happened. I love my girlfriend."
"You didn't think that when you were with me now did you?" She replied.

I needed to know what was going on so I walked in and said "What happened this summer?"
They both looked at me with shocked faces. "Well?"
The girl grinned, "Well. Me and Kris had a thing going on. He obviously didn't think of you too much. I made him too happy. If you get what I mean." She said still grinning.
"Oh, I know exactly what you mean." I said as I turned to Kris, "care to explain yourself?"
He looked at me in the most apologetic way. "I'm sorry. It shouldn't have happened.."
"Save it." I said now yelling.
I stormed out and ran up to a room that I only could assume was Sid's. I sat there crying and a while later I heard someone come in. I looked up to see Sid standing there. "Hey. I heard what happened. Are you okay?" He asked.
"Not really." I replied truthfully.
"If you need anyone I'm here for you." He said.
"I just feel so stupid."
"Hey. It's not your fault. Any guy would kill to have a girl like you. I know I would."
"Thanks."
"You're welcome to stay here tonight if you want to. I'll give you clothes and you can sleep in my bed."
"I think I'll take you up on that offer." By this time it was almost midnight.
"Do you care if I go to bed now?" I asked.
"Of course not" he said leaving and coming back with a pair of his shorts and a t-shirt.
I gave him a hug, "thank you."
He hugged back, said goodnight and left the room.

I laid in bed thinking that night for a while. How could this happen? Me and Kris were done without a doubt. Why was Sid being so nice to me? What did he mean saying he'd kill for a girl like me? Ugh.
