FITZ

“Yo, Fitzy Baby! Come here!”

I suppress the groan crawling its way from my throat. The last thing I want to do is go talk to Greer. In fact, I don’t want to talk to fucking anybody. It’s been days since I’ve seen Rosie, and all I want to do is get out on the ice and beat New York so I can get back on the plane and home to her because I need to fix things.

I’ve gone to the donut truck every day since the party. I’ve been attached to my phone and computer, waiting for her to get on her stream. I’ve even tried messaging her on MyFans, but nothing. Not a damn thing from her. It’s killing me, tearing me completely apart. I haven’t even had a strawberry since Saturday morning because I can’t stand the fucking sight or smell of them. All it does is remind me of Rosie.

I shove my phone into my pocket and spin on my heel, backtracking across the parking garage toward Greer, who is standing beside the bus we just got off.

“What’s up?” I ask him.

“Over here. Got something I want to show you,” he says, motioning for me to follow him around the other side of the bus.

I have no clue what’s going on and don’t really have the patience for this, but I follow him anyway. I regret it the second I round the vehicle because all of a sudden I’m being slammed against the big rig and there’s a forearm pressed heavily against my throat.

“W-What the…” I manage to sputter out. “Get the fuck off me.”

“Not a damn chance.” He shoves me harder, sneering. “What the fuck, man? What’d I tell you?”

“What?” I cough, slowly losing my ability to breathe. “What are you talking about?”

“Rosie, you fucking asshole. That’s what I’m talking about. I just got off the phone with Stevie, and I swear to god, if you don’t tell me what the hell crawled up your ass, you’ll be walking back out there with a black eye, which I’m sure you’ll have great fun explaining to the press and Coach.”

“Fuck,” I mutter, dropping my head back against the bus. It hurts, but I welcome the sting.

“Yeah, fuck is right. What the hell, man? What’d you do?”

“Can you let me go?”

He laughs, and it’s downright fucking scary. “Not a chance.”

I sigh. Since he’s not going to let me go until I explain things, I tell him. Everything.

Only when I’m finished does he finally let me go, and I drop back to the flats of my feet and reach for my throat, massaging it. It’s aching and I’m definitely going to be hoarse, but honestly, I deserve it. Hell, I deserve worse.

“What the hell, man?” he asks again. “Why?”

I shrug. “I don’t know.” But that’s not true. I do know. “I just…couldn’t stop myself. I couldn’t help it. I wanted to be close to her. No…I needed to be close to her, and this felt like the only way.”
