Disclaimer: I do not own the Ducks.
Two Letters
A/N: Thank you to everyone for being patient with me over the last couple of weeks. I am finally back and into a normal schedule, so I will now be able to update more often.
I grabbed the note off the door and quickly read the letter that was written in the all too familiar handwriting.
Gunnar/Scooter,
It won't be long now. Soon you will meet the end and there is nothing you can do about it. You already know who I am, but you are still clueless. Don't worry, in a few short weeks it will all be clear. After the JV Varsity showdown, you will come to an end. This all started with a game against the Ducks, so it's fitting that it should end after a game against the Ducks.
P.S. I see you have a new girlfriend. She's such a cute young woman. Too bad I have to kill her too.
I crumbled the letter up in my hands as I charged into my room. What the hell did he mean that I already knew who he was? Did that mean that he was someone that I am close to now? Maybe it is someone I was close to at the Goodwill games? I sighed. It is probably Coach Stansson. He had told me that I lost the game for him, so that made sense. But then again, I heard that he went to Germany after the games ended and has supposedly been there ever since. "Now I have to break the date with Julie." I couldn't let anything happen to her. It wasn't her fault that some psycho was trying to kill me.
A couple of hours I was out the door. I knew that Julie's practice had to have been over by now and I wanted to find her as quickly as possible. I didn't want to give whoever this guy is any chance to get her.
I searched the campus for her and I finally found her in the library. "Hey," I sat down next to her.
"Hi," she smiled at me. "What are you doing here?"
"I was actually looking for you."
"Well here I am. There's not a problem is there? I mean I really like you and I know this sounds silly, but it feels like we have already met before."
"Really?" I asked, trying to sound indifferent.
"Yeah, you actually look like this kid who played for team Iceland at the Goodwill games." She told me.
"Oh yeah, well I've never been to Iceland." I lied, my voice squeaking.
"Yeah well, he was a scorer anyway, not a goalie."
"Listen Julie, we need to talk." I told her.
She closed her Biology book and looked over at me. "What about?"
"About our date this weekend."
"What about it?"
I took a deep breath before blurting out, "I can't make it."
"Maybe we can go out another time then?"
"We can't go out at all, at least not right now."
She looked surprised. "What do you mean, at least not right now?"
"I wish I could tell you, but I can't. There's just a personal problem that I have to deal with before I can go out with anyone."
"Then why the hell did you ask me out in the first place?" She was angry at me and it broke my heart that I had made her that way.
"I didn't realize how bad things were. I really like you Julie and I just hope that you can forgive me for doing this and understand that I'm only doing this because I have to."
"Whatever," She shook her head at me as she gathered her books and stormed out of the library.
"Way to go Scooter. Just piss her off." I got up to leave and just as I did, I saw someone peering between the book cases. I didn't get a good look, but as soon as I saw them, they took off. Thinking nothing of the encounter I headed back to the dorm. After the day I had just had, I needed some sleep.
I walked into my dorm room to find that Riley had returned. "Hey man, you better check your email. Professor Williams mailed us that stupid assignment for class tomorrow."
I sighed, and sat down and logged onto my email account. Sure enough Professor Williams had emailed the assignment. However, there was one more message that caught my eye. I sighed, once more. "Two in one day?"
"What was that man?" Riley asked.
"Nothing," I told him as I opened up the email.
Scooter/Gunnar,
Do you really think breaking things off with her is going to keep her alive? After all, she is part of the reason that causes my pain and my embarrassment. Remember, you missed the shot that caused it and she saved the shot, now you both must suffer. Isn't it great how fate has brought her to me as well? Enjoy your few remaining weeks.
I stared blankly at the screen. What the hell did I just do? I broke up with Julie and now I have no way of protecting her because she probably hates me. Great Gunnar. Just great. It was then that I remembered the person watching through the bookshelves. My stomach churned as I realized that that had been my stalker and I had missed the chance to see who he or she was.
I now ask that you please take note at the blue review button at the bottom of the screen. Please push on it and leave a wonderful review. If you do, I will try to update even faster.
