Separation
The Mercers are not mine, though I wouldn't mind having Jack. I love Garrett. Only Hailey is. The chapters are going to be in Hailey's POV, just to clarify so there is no confusion. I'll make mention if the POV switches so everyone knows who's speaking or thinking. Thanks for the reviews, I love you all who are reading it and reviewing! Enjoy the new chapter!
Chapter Twelve
"Aw, come on Bobby. You haven't even been here for two hours, don't you want to rest or something?" I turned to look at Bobby who was leaning against the sink with his arms crossed over his chest.
Bobby just stared at me with a smirk. "Come on Hails, I've been in New York for two years. I haven't seen or played a good game in too long."
Jack leaned back in his chair, his left arm still on the table. "What about the Rangers, or even the Islander?"
I just shook my head at Jack. "HA! The Rangers? No fucking way would I watch one of there games. And the Islanders are just a joke, I mean they're called the 'Fish Sticks' for Christ sake. How can anyone take that team seriously?"
"Hey, what about the Devils?" I asked with a smirk. They were mine team, I have no idea how that happened but I was a Devils fan. I started watching hockey once Mom brought me home and Bobby and the others were all into the Red Wings of course. But not me, I was always draw more toward the Devils.
He glared at me. "Yeah, alright. So there was the Devils, but no way was I heading over to Jersey for a game. I refused to give their arena any of my money."
I got up with my empty glass and went to the refrigerator. "You know you love them." I grinned at him.
He shook his head, still smirking just a little. "How the hell is it that you started to watch hockey when you got here, but you're not a Red Wings fan or even a Blackhawks fan, you're a New Jersey Devils fan? Jersey is how far away? And you've never even been there but somehow you like the Devils."
I poured some orange juice into my cup. "Well," I took a few gulps of the juice, emptying the cup once again. "I like watching good hockey." I saw Bobby lunge forward and I dropped my cup into the sink and dodged his reaching arms.
I ran around the table behind Jack, laughing. "Hailey, why do you always have to start something?" Jack asked with a shake of his head as I ran from behind him and into the living room, laughing.
"Come here you little brat!" I could hear the smiling in Bobby's voice. I wasn't fast enough when I tried to dart for the stairs. Bobby's arm came around my waist and pulled me back. "HA! Got ya!"
"Get off! Come on Bobby!" I wiggled and kick, trying to get out of Bobby's grasp. But my attempts at escaping only made him loose his balance and fall to the ground with a loud thud. I saw the floor coming but Bobby made sure to twist his body around so he fell to the ground and not me.
Jack stood, leaning in the doorway while me and Bobby laid on the floor laughing. "You guys are ridiculous." He smiled shaking his head and stepped forward with his hand out.
I grabbed his hand and he pulled me up. "No, we just know how to have fun. You act older than mom sometimes Jackie."
He rolled his eyes at me as he help Bobby off the floor. "Yeah Jack, you act more like you're 75 then 22 sometimes. And that's ridiculous."
"What happen?" Mom was standing at the bottom of the stairs with her hands on her hips. "I heard a loud bang."
"Nothing ma, just Hails and me messing around." Bobby shoved my shoulder, I pushed him back and then Jack stepped in between the two of us.
Mom sigh, smiling. "Bobby you be careful. You'll end up hurting her if you're not."
"Hey, would I ever hurt my baby sister? Jackie here," He put his arm around Jacks shoulders and pulled him closer. "Now he's a different story. Ain't ya Jackie?"
"Dude," Jack shrugged Bobby's arm off him, laughing a little. "Get off me. Hey are we heading down to the rink or not?"
"Hockey already Bobby? What if Hailey doesn't want to go play?" Mom moved through the living room and in to the dining room.
Bobby laugh a little. "Mom, come on. Hailey always wants to play a game with her big brother."
"Yeah but she was complaining before." Jack told her.
"I wasn't complaining, I was just seeing if I'd been able to get some more sleep." I walked over to the stairs. "I'll be down in ten minutes."
"Hurry it up kiddo." I heard Bobby yell to me as I reached the top of the stairs.
I pulled on a pair of dark blue jean that fit loosely on me so I could move around the ice more freely. With that I putt on a black tank top and a black pull over sweat shirt on top of that. I pulled on my boots and made my way downstairs with the MERCER jersey Bobby gave me. Thankfully he didn't give me a Red Wings jersey, he gave me his old one from when he was playing with the AHL.
"You finally ready?" Jack was sitting on the bottom of the stairs lacing up his boots and Bobby was leaning against the door.
"Oh shut up, I told you ten minutes and I was up there for ten minutes. You need to relax." I knee Jack in the back, he reached around and smacked my leg. "Move."
"In a second." He finished with his boot and stood up. Turning around he looked at me. "You're annoy."
I just smiled at him. "Love you too Jack!" I gave him a hug and pushed my way past him and over to the door by Bobby. "We going or what?"
Jack smirked, grabbing his sweatshirt from the coat rake on the wall. He nudged my left arm, and I shoved him back. Bobby smiled at the two of us, opening the door. "Hey, save it for the ice. Got your skates?" Jack leaned down and picked up our skates. "Good, come on. Let's go."

A/N: Yay for me, another chapter! Woo hoo! I don't know what to think of this chapter, I'm kind of just putting in filler chapters cause I'm not entirely sure where I going with this story. I'm thinking I'll taking it into the movie. I just have to work things out a bit. I have pictures in my profile to go with my characters, so for this story I have Hailey both young and current. Let me know what you think of who I picked for Hailey, I might change her.
