I walked out of the meeting and headed straight to the gym to work myself into a sweaty mess. The news from Coach and Dr. Dement was all good, which I somewhat expected, but it felt like another step toward leaving Providence, which left me torn up inside. I couldn’t stop thinking about Aubrey and how letting her any closer was a huge mistake that would bite both of us in the ass if we weren’t careful. Anger drove through the center of my stomach as indecision pulled me from one extreme to the other.

I needed to leave her be and let her find someone that would get to enjoy her senior year with her, which wasn’t me. I would be all over the fucking country and my focus would be on my new team and trying to prove myself once again to a whole new group of coaches.

My phone buzzed and I picked it up to see Jayce calling.

“‘Sup man?” I bent down and grabbed my towel from the floor to mop up my forehead while I had the chance.

“Dude, get over here when you can. We’re at Merskys having a beer, and fucking Will is toked again. I swear, man. I can’t deal with this shit anymore. I signed up to play hockey and lead these unruly fuckers on the ice, not in life. I’m not a father figure like you are and this bitch won’t listen to me. He’s put his hands on my sister more than once in the last two hours, and I’m about to break the front door with his face.”

“On Aubrey?” Every muscle in my body went rigid.

“Yes. I only have one sister, you meathead. Get over here and help me. Everyone’s drunk as shit.” He let out a long sigh, and I felt for the guy, but he had some growing up to do too. A team wasn’t just a team on the ice. It was a brotherhood, and that meant busting balls when necessary and having conversations that were hard and sucked like hell. It was all part of the deal.

“I’m headed that way. Get him in a corner and have Lizzy or one of the other Ice Queens sit on his lap to keep him still.” I growled at the thought of him touching my girl. “It might be best if you guys take him home. I’m likely to kill him if he’s upset your sister.”

“I get that. It’s the reason I called, though I’m likely to kill you if you don’t stop playing around and tell me what the fuck is up. You’re like a brother to me, and someone better come clean soon.”

“All right. I’ll be there soon and we’ll talk.” I dropped the call and jogged toward the showers, washing up quickly and getting over to the bar.

I walked in to the sound of cheers and laughter. The place was packed from the front to the back with students enjoying the half-price Wednesday drafts and replays of our season on the ten TVs in the place.
