Thank you so much for the reviews vaughnloveralwaysandforev, surfer-kel, and Flowersc781. I'm sorry if it seemed a little confusing, but there's a lot of background to Jimmy, Rizzo, Jack, and Andrew. Soon hopefully if they follow what I want planned I can get to the point. Hope you all enjoy and here Chapter 10!


I can't believe you!

Annabelle was sitting on the bed in her dorm with Andrew in a chair play cards. They had been like this ever since the team came back from practice and the only visitors that came by was Bah, Buzzy, and Pav. The three of them really didn't seem too impressed with Andrew from the looks they were giving him when Andrew wasn't looking. Herb found it interesting when Annabelle didn't come to practice and had a visitor that visibly affected half of the team, all of the BU guys. Annabelle looked up from her hand of cards when the phone started to ring.

"Hello?" Annabelle asked still holding her hand of cards.

"Annabelle I want a private meeting with you right now in the office downstairs. Your dad will be there too, and come alone." Herb said seriously and hung up. Annabelle stood looking at the phone like someone had frozen her right on the spot.

"Belle was the matter? Who was it?" Andrew asked getting up.

"Herb. I have to go to a meeting right now. You can just stay in here and maybe hide in the closet for safety." Annabelle said jokingly. She set her cards down and grabbed her keys to the room, and left.

When Annabelle made it down the stairs to the first floor, her dad was waiting outside Herb's room.

"Hey dad what's this meeting about?" Annabelle asked coming up to him.

"I don't know. I was hoping you would tell me." Craig said like a protective father.

Annabelle knocked on the door and entered when she heard a grunt, Herb's usual come in sign. The two entered and saw Herb sitting at an office desk in the small meeting room. He didn't really look that pleased and when he saw Annabelle he didn't anymore pleased then before.

"Annabelle do you know the reason why my team is acting differently? One day they're all happy go lucky, and then the next I have half a dozen pissed off players that can't even say your name without harsh meaning. What is the matter?" Herb asked waiting with mean eyes and Craig looking down slightly at her.

"This girl I knew from Boston came down and started hanging around Jack; I got mad and called my ex-boyfriend down from Boston. I guess Rizzo, Jimmy, and Jack don't like him that much and are showing it." Annabelle said and looked down at her feet feeling Herb star her down.

"Is this ex-boyfriend still here?" Craig asked.

"Yes."

"Send him home." Craig said simply.

"But dad…" Annabelle started getting angry again, but hurt as well.

"I don't want to hear about it anymore Annabelle. Its time to grow up, so send that boy away or I'll do it for you."

"What about Jack?"

"I don't have the authority to send that girl home; it's all Jack's choice. Now go send that boy home now." Craig said and walked out. Herb sat there starting at Annabelle and then the closing door. Annabelle ran out of the office with tears in her eyes and up to her dorm room.

When she entered her dorm room it was unpleasantly quiet. Annabelle walked out to the hallway again, but this time heading to Rizzo and Jimmy's room. After knocking and hearing grumbling and other voices, the door opened to reveal Jimmy. He looked at her and waited for her to say something.

"Jimmy have you seen Andrew?" Annabelle asked simply.

"In your room." He said shortly.

"Where in my room?"

"You should know cause you went in there not too long ago."

"No I didn't. I just came back from a meeting with Herb and my dad." Jimmy looked a little surprised and looked behind him to the group that was huddled in Rizzo and his room.

"Hey O.C. where's your girl?"

"In my room I believe. She said she was going to go to the shop down the road and get something." Jack said not looking up from his cards. Annabelle looked from Jack's sitting form to Jimmy's face. She frowned slightly and walked back to her room with a little edge. When she entered through the front door it was still silent as could be, but then she heard what she was hoping not to hear. Jimmy followed her into the room further until they reached her bedroom where Andrew was sleeping.

"Oh your so much better then she ever was. How come you didn't get me sooner?" Andrew asked huskily.

"Because she had you around the neck and I knew she wouldn't let you go." Dennis said out of breath.

Outside the door, Jimmy's jaw dropped and he looked down at Annabelle to see her cry quietly. She walked away when laughter was heard, and picked up her pace when she was fully out the door. Jimmy was about to walk out when the other teammates came in looking at him.

"What's the matter?" Robbie whispered.

"Where's Jack?" Jimmy asked looking over some of the heads.

"Went after AB. What's going on in there?" Robbie asked again.

"Simple; Andrew and Dennis." Jimmy said and walked past the guys. A few followed while the others lingered for a few seconds.

"What are you going to do?" Mark Johnson asked.

"Find Annabelle and Jack. Hopefully there will be enough of both of 'em when we find them."

"I don't think AB should be mad at Jack, after all, he didn't set up Dennis and Andrew." Buzzy said.

"I don't think any of us know what AB and OC are like when they're angry, except themselves." Rizzo said from the back of the group.


Outside

"Annabelle I'm sorry I let her stay here, I knew that you two had bad times with each other, but I thought that you guys settled it." Jack said stopping Annabelle.

"Jack, Dennis and I will never get over each other. All she ever wanted to do was get under my skin and she succeeded with you. When she started to go out with you in college my heart was crushed and she saw it. Andrew was not of any help to me…" Annabelle yelled and stopped before dropping into a sitting position on the ground sobbing. Jack sat down next to her and brought her into a hug.

"Shh, it's alright Annabelle. I'll try to send her home, okay?" Jack asked rocking her listening to her cry softly and hic-up slightly. Annabelle nodded but still stayed on the ground crying.

Jack held Annabelle for about five minutes until groups of three of the teammates made it out to them.

"Where are Andrew and Dennis?" Jack asked.

"Well…" Robbie started, but was finished by Cox, "Andrew is screaming 'uncle', and Dennis is gathering her things and fast."

"What do you mean Andrew is screaming 'uncle'?" Annabelle asked for the first time.

"We um, we…" Mark started but couldn't finish because he was laughing too hard.

"Jimmy, Rizzo, and Bah I guess have him tired up upside down until he screams 'uncle'. They said since there isn't a locker room or ice around they can't lock him in there for a couple of hours. How're you feeling?" Wells asked still laughing.

"Better thanks to you guys. I guess I'm just too thick headed to listen to a group of great friends, thanks again." Annabelle said and with help was lifted up by Jack. Soon there was a huge group hug, before everyone could let go of Annabelle, Rizzo, Jimmy, and Bah came out whipping they're hands on their shirts with satisfied faces.
