Sorry for the late update. I've been very busy with 4 college classes and then other odd things around the house.
Where We Want To Be
Annabelle sat on the plane waiting for the others to sit. Jack was staying after until he results would come back. She didn't think that it would be a good idea to stay or anything, but the look on his face when he saw her put her bag on the ground and walk onto the plane, was of extreme hurt.
"Hey Annabelle what's the chance of me sitting here with you?" Rizzo asked pointing to the seat next to her.
"Sure I don't care. Remember I don't bite…much." Annabelle said with a smirk on her face.
"Um…What's going on with you and OC?"
"His ego. I'm sick of it. I just can't understand him anymore." Annabelle said looking out the window.
"More like you don't want to understand it." Rizzo said looking at her.
Annabelle looked at him shocked. After a few minutes she sighed,
"I guess your right. I don't want to understand him, like I don't want him to understand me."
"You're failing there though Annabelle. He understands you more then anyone on this team. Even more then coach. Annabelle, OC loves you more then any other girl out there that he has dated. If you can just accept him and let go of you ego, then things wouldn't be so tough on the two of you." Rizzo said seriously while looking at her in her eye.
"Thanks Rizzo." Annabelle said with a slight smile. "But do you think that he'll ever forgive me for being this way?"
"Of course he will."
The rest of the trip went by so fast that before Annabelle knew it, she was at Lake Placid.
"Not too long guys, not too long from now." Annabelle said to the team referring to the Olympics.
Few days later
Annabelle sat on the bus with the team getting ready to get signed up. She was also excited to know that Jack was going to be there, and that he possibly would be able to play in the tournament.
"I think Annabelle's more excited about the Olympics then us." Buzzy said laughing. A few chuckles were spreading around the bus. Annabelle blushed slightly and tried to sit still. "Is this about OC?" Neal whispered back to her.
All Annabelle could do was nod and looked back out the window. It was then that she saw the building come into sight.
"We're here, we're here, we're here!" She kept saying over and over again. This time the whole bus started to laugh.
After signing in and getting they're tags, Annabelle started looking around the building for a dark blonde head, but didn't. She jumped when she felt a poke on her shoulder by Robbie.
"Annabelle he's right there." He said pointing at Craig, Herb, Doc, and Jack. Annabelle's smiled spread from ear to ear at seeing him just on crutches and with no cast. She forcefully held herself back as he came over to their group.
"So how's the leg?" One of the guys asked.
"Don't know, Doc's kept me in the dark." He said and looked over at Annabelle's beaming face. He smiled and turned back to the team. After fully signing in and touring the rink, Jack went out. Annabelle knew this was his time to reflect what might be happening. She watched as Herb went out on to the ice and the two of them started to talk.
Annabelle watched as Jack turned to Herb raising his voice slightly. All she could hear was 'I swear to God, Herb if you're not being serious right now…' Then it went slight. She saw Herb nod his head and Jack turning. He started to slid/walk and then screamed,
"OC'S PLAYING BABY! HAHA!"
Annabelle smiled and waited for Jack to come on solid ground before she hugged him.
"Congrats Jack." She said and hugged him hard. Jack hugged her back, all the while smiling.
"So I guess we're ok?" He asked after they separated.
"We're more then ok. I just wanted to say that I'm sorry I acted the way to you, treating you like the bad guy while I've been it too. I'm just so glad that you'll be fine now." Annabelle said in one breath.
"Wow slow down there girl, he said maybe two weeks, and if we make it, that will be the medal rounds."
"You'll make it." Annabelle said and looked to see if Herb was watching. "Now am I going to have to be the one to kiss you, or are you going to do it."
Jack smiled and leaned down to kiss Annabelle ever so gently.
SUPER, SUPER, SUPER SORRY FOR THE LONG WAIT, BUT I DECIDED TO GET OFF THE SOMEWHAT NEGATIVE WAYS AND PICK UP ANNABELLE AND JACK'S RELATIONSHIP. WELL ACTUALLY ANNABELLE JUST WANTED TO HAVE EVERYTHING FINE.
But anyway please review, I know the last chapter sucked, but I hope this will make up for it. Thanks!
