Chapter 6- watching the game

AVERMANS POV

We were all on our way to Julie's apartment when I started to second guess tonight. How was I supposed to act around Annie. She broke up with me. I think that makes me the loser in the situation.

We got to Julies apartment before I could dissect it in my head for too long. I rang the doorbell with Hildy, Guy, and Fulton right behind me.

Julie answered the door. She looked shocked that I was there. "Hi Averman."

"Hey, ready to watch some cakeater hockey." I said pretending to be happy and excited. That's how I deal with things.

"Um, sure." She said.

I handed her the tape and walked by her into the living room. I walked right by Annie on the way in. I didn't say hi. I just stared ahead and brushed by her. I plunked down on the couch and waited for everyone else.

Fulton and Julie sat with me on the couch. Hildy and Guy took the loveseat and Annie took the chair.

"We were just watching the game," Julie started, "the Anaheim Ducks won their game. They're going to play whoever wins the game we watch tonight for the cup."

The Anaheim Mighty Ducks were named after us, after we won the Jr. Goodwill Games. We always rooted for them. They were a reminder to us of the Duck days, and what we accomplished as a team.

"If Banks wins, he'll have to play the Ducks for the Stanley cup," Hildy asked.

Fulton started "Wow, I haven't thought about that. That's going to be tough for him. If he wins, he's on the winning team, but he beats the Ducks. Even though those Ducks aren't us, they're the only Ducks left. Does anyone understand what I'm saying. I'm confusing myself here.

Guy laughed, "We got you man. It will all work out, I'm sure. Adam has never been one to let his emotions get in the way of his game."

"You guys are talking like he already won," Annie said, "Not that I don't want him to, but let's watch the game and see if he wins."

"Good point," Julie said, "plus, I'll agree to anything to watch studly #99."

Everyone was laughing at Julie now. Even I had a genuine smile on my face.

"Julie, I love you, girl, but you're pathetic." Hildy said.

"What? He's Hot!" She yelled back. "Are you gonna argue with that." She looked at Hildy and Annie. Both girls remained quiet.

"OK" I broke in, "as much as I want to spend my night talking about how hot banks is, because he's so yummy." I said in my best female voice. "I want to watch some hockey tonight." I popped in the tape, and everyone's attention was on the TV.

I kept sneaking peeks at Annie. I missed her so much. I miss everything about her. She was my best friend and confidant. I love her so much. I just wish she loved me too. I guess thing sometimes change.

I was interrupted out of my thoughts by Julie shrieking. They had gone to a shot of Adam lifting his mask and chugging some water.

She was trying to grab the remote to rewind, but Fulton was holding it above her reach. Then again, I thought some things will never change.

We finished watching the game and shut the TV off.

"Wow, he did it!" Julie exclaimed. "He's going to play for the Stanley cup. I'm so happy for him. He's living his dream"

"I hope he's not too freaked out about having to play the Ducks." Fulton pointed out.

"I'm sure he's talking to someone, and dealing with it. It's such a small problem in an overall wonderful situation." Annie said gently.

Why did she have to be so gentle, caring, and loving all the time. It makes it harder to be mad at her, and what was that crap about a small thing in a wonderful situation. Isn't that what she did?"

"Yeah like you would have any clue about not screwing up wonderful situations with small bullshit problems." I was talking softly, but staring right at her. My eyes bore right into hers. I wanted her to see the pain and hurt in my eyes. In stead, I saw pain and hurt in her eyes. Why was she hurt? She broke it off with me. I have to leave before I say something stupid that I would regret.

The whole room was silent and staring at me.

I stood up "I'm gonna get going." Everyone just nodded at me. Tears were glistening in Annie's eyes. She looked down at the floor. I left as fast as I could. I went back to my dorm, thought about Annie, and wished things could be different.

ANNIES POV

When Les looked at me, I felt like I could feel all his pain. I miss him so much. I regret breaking up with him so badly. I love him with all my heart, but it doesn't matter anymore. He hates me now.

A/N Ok, There's another chapter. The Ducks are all coming into things next chapter. I have some good Charlie /Fulton stuff coming up! What's going to happen to Julie/ Adam? Please review.
