Chapter 28

It’s been a week and I haven’t spoken to either of them. It seems like it’s been forever since I’ve even seen them. I’ve been doing a lot of thinking, but I don’t think I’m ready to choose anyone just yet. But I do know one thing…

I love them both. A lot.

“How am I supposed to choose?” I asked Kristi falling down on the couch.

“I don’t know, be patient, maybe there will be a sign”

“I’ve been patient” I whined, “It’s been a long time”

“Honey, do they both make you happy?”

“Very”

“Who means more to you?”

“I’ve shared a lot with Kris, but with Max, we’ve had a lot of fun, and he’s been a really good listener, and he’s been there for me”

“Has Kris been there for you?”

“Well…not recently”

“Who came to see you?”

“Max”

“Where’s Kris?”

“I don’t know Kristi!” I snapped, “I just know that I can’t break either of their hearts”

“Okay, I’m going to be honest, I’m Team Max”

I just sighed and looked up at her, “You’ve never met Kris…he’s sweet, caring, he goes out of his way for me, the way his hair falls in his face when he takes his helmet off, the way he wears his hats backwards all the time, how he bites his lip when he’s nervous, his little smirk when he makes a joke, the way he can make me laugh so easily after pissing me off…” my voice trailed off and Kristi just shook her head and stood up.

“You just figured it out sweetie…”

“But…I…uh…oh…”

“Take your time, you should probably talk to Max first though…”

“Yah…I will”

My head started spinning, but thinking about being with Kris again, actually got me excited. I did really miss him. Kris and I were meant for each other, we always were, no matter what got in our way…we always managed to find our way back.

The guys were getting back from a road trip tonight, so I thought talking to Max tonight would be perfect. I grabbed my phone to call him when it started ringing in my hand, it was him. How weird.

“Hey Max…”

“Hey Jules”

“What’s up?”

“Just wanted to see if you wanted to grab a coffee later”

“Sure…that sounds great”

“Alright, I’ll stop by in a couple hours”

“Okay”

I hung up the phone and immediately got sick to my stomach. I wasn’t used to hurting people like that, intentionally. I mean, I can’t have them both, one of them was going to be hurt, and in my opinion, I think Max would have gotten over it a lot easier then Kris would have.

I heard a knock on the door, so I took another quick look in the mirror and opened it. The fact that he was looking this good, was starting to make this a lot harder.

“Um, how are you?” I asked.

“I’m good, how are you?”

I shut the door behind me and started walking towards his car, “I’m good”

The rest of the walk to the car was silent. I felt the tension inside the car as we made it to the Starbucks. As I stepped out I felt like I could breathe again. He opened the door for me and I sat down at the corner table, and he bought the coffees.

“Okay…” he said sitting down, “Here’s the thing--”

“I’m choosing Kris” I blurted out. Nice going Julie, that was probably your worst move, ever.

“I know”

I raised an eyebrow at him and cocked my head to the side, “You do?”

“The entire road trip something was eating away at me, then I saw Kris, and I have never seen the guy more miserable in my life. He misses you, and I’ve been trying to ignore it, but you two, you’ve been through too much”

I stared at him stunned, dumbfounded, in shock, whatever word you could think of, that was me, “But, you--I thought, what?”

“I do love you Julie, really, but you love Kris, and he loves you, more than I love you…”

“I’m sorry Max…”

“It’s okay” he chuckled, “I’ll get over it, you can’t always get what you want”

“That’s true”

“You should go talk to him” he replied, “He’s been moping, and he hasn’t been producing anything in his game right now”

“Really?”

He just nodded, “Good luck”

I stood up and wrapped my arms around him. He squeezed me gently before letting me go, “Go”

“Thank you Max”

I pulled my phone from my pocket and texted him. Told him to stay at home, and that I would be there in a minute. He agreed and I practically ran to his place. I’ve never ran so hard in my life.

I knocked on the door, and stood there, sweaty, tired and breathless as he opened it, “Hi…”

“Jules” a small smirk spread across his face.

“I’m sorry, I’m so sorry…it’s you” I said, “It’s always been you”

He had the same look on his face I did just minutes ago talking to Max. I just sighed placed my hands on his cheeks and looked up at him, “I’m sorry”

“No more sorries”

“What?”

“I love you, I never stopped”

“Neither did I”

He grabbed my hand and pulled me into the apartment, I just giggled as he gently brushed his lips against mine. I just pulled away and wrapped my arms around him, something I haven’t felt in a long time.

“I want you to have something” he said.

“Okay…”

He walked into the bedroom and quickly re-emerged holding something behind his back. I narrowed my eyes and pursed my lips, “What is it?”

He gently took my hand in his and put the ring on with his other. The ring that marked our engagement not too long ago, “We don’t have to rush, but I’m marrying you, whether it’s in a day, six months or two years”

“Yes you are”

He just smiled and gently kissed me again. This was it. This is definitely what I wanted.

Chapter 27

I know you don't want to hear this, but Please Be Mine will be ending very shortly. But there are still some surprises ahead. It would be really great if I could get a decent amount of comments on the next couple chapters. I know I haven't been posting regularly, but I think some inspiration is coming back. So enjoy, and comment please !



There was a part of me that got kind of excited, but the other part was disappointment.

I looked up as I heard a knock on the doorframe. I have to admit, this was not my finest hour. Getting out of bed never is. I quickly ran my fingers through my hair and fluffed it out a bit.

“I have to get to work” Kristi said, “I’ll be back later tonight”

“Alright…see you then”

I heard the front door of the apartment shut and I continued to keep eye contact with Max, “Hi”

“Hey…”

“How did you find me?” I asked.

“Friend of a friend…I have my ways” he smirked.

I just laughed, “Well it’s nice to see you, but why are you here?”

“I don’t know…I had to see you”

“I wasn’t exactly…expecting company” I replied, “If you couldn’t tell”

He just laughed, “I can tell”

“Max, I told you I needed--”

“I know” he interrupted, “I just, I need you to know that I love you, and whatever you decide, it’s okay with me. I’ve come to terms with the fact that I can’t always get what I want”

I just sighed and hung my feet off the edge of my bed. My head was spinning, when wasn’t it spinning? I just don’t understand this at all. Why me?

“I don’t know how it ended up like this”

“What?”

“I fell in love with Kris, and I never even expected for him to reciprocate those feelings. Yet, he finally did, and we’ve been through a lot, and I don’t know how he still loves me now. I’ve screwed up, countless times, made a fool of myself, it makes no sense. And why you fell for me is beyond my comprehension”

He just chuckled, “You don’t give yourself enough credit”

“What?”

“We love you for you. You take care of everyone before you even realize that you’re a mess. You’ll do anything to brighten a situation. Your laugh is contagious, and the way you can so easily just strike up a conversation with a random stranger. You have this vibe about you Jules, a happy one. And you practically keep us all in check, without you around Kris and I might have killed each other already” he was sitting down beside me at this point.

I just smirked, “That last part is true”

“There’s that smile I’ve been waiting for” he replied.

“I’m sorry Max, for getting us all into this”

“It’s okay, I just hope you make the right choice, I’ll be here for you no matter what”

He just stood up from the bed and leaned down to place a kiss on my forehead, “I love you”

“I know” I simply replied.

He walked out of the bedroom and out the front door. I just laid sideways across the bed and closed my eyes. I needed to picture who I could see myself with in five, ten, twenty years from now, when they retire from hockey, and we have 3 kids standing in front of us, and a gorgeous ring on my left hand.

Right now, it’s sad to say I don’t know.

Chapter 26

I know it's been a while since I posted but better late than never right? Finally getting the urge to write a bit now and then. School is starting soon though, so we'll see how it all goes. I hope you enjoy this one :)

“Hey love” Kristi said as she opened her door, “How’s everything?”

“Not good” I sighed.
She shut the door behind me and I slipped my shoes off. She disappeared into the kitchen and I collapsed onto her couch. She appeared in front of me with two bottles and handed me one, “I want you to tell me everything”

Two hours and four Bud Light’s later, I found myself still ranting and crying. What is my life right now? Two guys, one me, I don’t even know what’s so great about me that they find they have to fight over me. Now I’m the one who has to make the decision.

“So Kris is the love of your life, and Max just came in out of nowhere, am I right?”

“Well, when Kris and I were having issues…he was there, he was my best friend”

“Do you love him?”

“Whoa, that’s kind of a loaded question don’t you think?”

“Not really…have you slept with him?”

“WHOA, no!”

She just smirked, “Sorry, I had to ask”

I just shook my head and set my empty bottle on the table in front of me. She grabbed mine and hers and set them in the kitchen, “Ju, the only thing I can tell you is think about it. Who you can picture your life with, who you’re really in love with, the one you know will always be there for you”

“It’s not that simple Kristi”

“I didn’t say it was simple. Think about it, sleep on it, just don’t over think it, it’s right in front of your face”

I looked at the clock, almost 2am.

“I think I’m going to try and sleep” I replied, “I’ll talk to you in the morning, again, I really appreciate this Kristi”

“Anytime my dear, there’s some extra clothes in the bedroom, feel free to borrow them”

“Thanks”

I shut the door behind me and searched through the dresser in the corner of the small bedroom. I found a pair of sweatpants and a t-shirt. I cleaned myself up in the bathroom and climbed into the bed practically calling my name.

I thought and thought and thought until my head was literally hurting. I couldn’t decide, I couldn’t pick one and not the other, yet, I couldn’t live my life without either of them.

Just pick one Julie, you’d be happy with either one. Just pick one.

My eyes slowly shut, and I was out.

“Jules?”

I opened my eyes and saw Kristi standing over me, “What time is it?”

“Almost noon” she replied, “Someone was tired”

“Yah”

“And you have a visitor”

“Excuse me?”

“A very good looking one I might add”

I sighed, “Which one?”

“Max”

Chapter 25

A tad short, but it's all I can come up with. I need a way to keep this going without being repetitive and unoriginal. I hope you like ! Comments are greatly appreciated and encourage : D

This was too weird. I stood there looking up at him, my mind was running in thousands of directions and I couldn’t speak. I think it was his turn to speak.

“Julie, I don’t want to confuse you”

I stepped back and shook my head, “It’s a little late for that”

“I’m sorry”

“No…I’m sorry”

“But I--”

“No, I went through so much with him” I said, “I love him, I really do, but every time you come around, and say what you say, and do what you do, and when you kiss me…” my voice trailed off.

“Jules but--”

“I can’t love him and still string you along, it’s not fair to either of you”

“Can I talk?” he asked.

I just nodded my head and waited for him to speak.

“You know, the first thing that attracted me to you, was how you put everyone before yourself, the guys, even the coaches”

“What’s your point?”

“Sometimes, you care a little too much, and right now, you need to stop trying to please everyone. I’ll be heartbroken if you pick Kris, and vice versa, but we’ll get over it, because we’ll have to. So if you love Kris, then go back there and tell him that, but if you can’t make up your mind then go home and do some serious thinking about who you want in your life…because I already know who I want”

I just sighed, “wow, I always thought of you as the kind of guy to go after what he wants, and not let his fate be chosen for him”

“Well, in this case, I care too much about you to force you into a decision that you don’t want to make” he shrugged, “I just hope you make the one that’s right for you”

“I need to do some thinking” I said.

“Julie!” I looked over Max’s shoulder and saw Kris. I couldn’t help but smile.

“Hey…”

“I’m sorry, I was really stupid”

“It’s okay Kris. But I don’t think we’re ready to be together right now”

He raised his eyebrow and stared at me dumbfounded, “but I thought--”

“I thought I had my head figured out Kris, but I really don’t. I can’t be with you, and lead him on like I have been, it’s not fair”

They both just looked at each other than back at me.

“I’ll be at Kristi’s place, a girl I went to school with a while back. Give me a few days. Play your games, go on your road trip and maybe when you get back, I’ll have this figured out”

Kris just sighed, “This is getting really stupid Julie”

“Oh…”

“If you can’t be with me, without stringing him along, maybe you’re not ready for a commitment”

“Maybe I’m not” I snapped, “I’m not forcing you to wait Kris, if you want to move on, I’m plenty fine with that”

“Julie…”

“I know you don’t understand it Kris, please just respect how I feel”

“Why do you make it so difficult to love you sometimes?”

“This is just who I am”

I looked at both of them and felt overwhelmed. Look at them, the both of them are perfection. I’m just the girl that they both happened to fall in love with, at the same time. Sometimes I really don’t feel like I’m even worth either of their time.

“I’m sorry” I said, “if you want to wait, then wait, if you don’t then I’ll have to deal with it and move on. I’ll just call you guys”

They both just nodded and I turned on my heel towards Kristi’s place. This should be simple, because I’m not even in love with Max. I’m in love with Kris. Right?

It's coming

I will be posting a new chapter on here soon. My weekends are always busy with work, and my head is not in a good spot right now. But it will be up soon, I promise !

New story

Okay. Since I have 31 amazing followers on this story, I thought I would take the chance to advertise my new story. I'm kind of excited about this one because I've got some good ideas for it. I'm back to some Penguins love. So I think you guys will enjoy it.

Please follow. It would mean the world to me :)

Chapter 24

Okay, pretend the conversation between Flower and Max is French. I’m too lazy to translate it all haha

Oh and thanks for all the comments lately, I have been trying to get this updated. This one is kind of on the fly haha. So I hope you enjoy it :)

The sight of the two of them was burned into my brain. I can’t believe I actually pushed her back to him. I let her get away and now I was reaping the consequences. The constant thoughts of her, the dreams, hearing Kris talk about her since they got back together, it was driving me insane, sometimes I wish I could be traded.

“What has been up with you?” Flower said as he sat next to me at the bar, “Is it Julie again?”

“It’s always Julie” I replied, “There’s no one else Marc”

“Max, you have to have to face it, she loves him”

“Damn it I know” I snapped taking another drink.

“You need to find someone else”

“You don’t get it, I don’t want anyone else. I want to want someone else, but just the thought of being with someone else other than her is impossible”

“Well, I guess before you can find someone else, you just need to take the time and get over her, however you may go about doing that”

“I suppose some distraction could be nice” I shrugged.

“Okay then” he replied, “Well how about a few drinks tonight to get the mind off of her?”

“I can do that” I said breathing a sigh of relief.

--

I followed Kris into the bar as he made his way over to the guys. I looked over at the bar and spotted Max by himself, I knew I needed to talk to him, but I wondered if he was even sober enough to hear it.

“Hey” I said sitting beside him.

“Hey” he replied.

“I’ll have a Bud” I told the bartender. I turned my attention back to Max, “how are you?”

“I’m fine…and you?”

“I’m good” I replied, “but I miss you”

“You have Kris” he replied taking a swig of beer.

“Max…you’re still my best friend. I miss my best friend. We were fine until Kris and I got back together”

“Exactly why I‘m not fine anymore. I need some time Julie, I think I just need to focus on hockey” he replied.

“Fair enough” I replied as my drink was placed in front of me, “I guess that’s my cue, have a good night Max, call me sometime” I said gently squeezing his hand. I took my drink off of the bar and made my way over to Kris.

He made a valid point. I think the only way we were going to get back to normal was if he got over me. The fact that he was actually willing to get over me was big of him, I knew how stubborn he was.

“Everything okay?” Kris asked.

I looked over at Max and sighed, “I think it will be”

“Good, I don’t like seeing you upset”

“I don’t like seeing him upset” I sighed looking over at Max again.

“He doesn’t look too good”

“He will be, he’s strong” I replied, “but I think it’s time that I don’t come out with the guys anymore for a while”

“Why?” he asked curiously.

“Max wants to keep his distance from me, for now. He wants to focus on hockey, and keep his mind off of me, and I think he’s got a point”

“If you say so” he shrugged.

As the night went on some of the guys started to get a bit more rowdy. I just stayed back and watched as the guys made fools of themselves. I turned my head to see Max and Kris in a conversation. It looked to be getting a bit heated, and I saw some of the guys start to surround them.

I stood up to approach the scene, but I couldn’t see much over the guys, who were, what seemed like, ten feet taller than me. I pushed through them and saw Kris and Max both arguing, in French of course. Man French-Canadians could be real asses sometimes.

“Excuse me!?” I yelled over the music at both of them.

Both their heads turned toward me, “Julie…”

“At least talk in English, so we can understand you” I snapped, “Max, I thought you were better than this, and Kris, you know better than to get him started”

“I’m not just going to pretend nothing happened Julie. He knows what he did”

“And he owned up to it Kris. Get over it”

I heard Max snicker and I glared over at him, “You’re not off the hook either” I replied, “you wanted to get over me, right? Then why the hell are you fighting over me?”

“He’s had a few” Marc explained, “It’s kind of my fault, I told him too”

“I’m not surprised…”

“Julie, I’m sorry” Max replied.

“No, you know what, I’m going home, you guys need to settle this, and I really don’t care how you do it. You’re both being jack asses and I’m tired of it”

I grabbed my clutch and quickly left the bar. I decided to walk, I was only a few blocks away. I found myself in tears on the way home, wondering if either one of them would come after me.

“Julie!”

I wiped my eyes and turned around. I saw Max standing in front of me and all I did was fall into him.

“I don’t have it all figured out” I sobbed, “I thought I did, but maybe Kris isn’t who I thought he was. He doesn’t like to see me upset, and he still goes and does that, knowing it will upset me…I don’t get him”

“Julie, you don’t need him”

“Max, don’t start” I said pulling away from him.

“Julie…look at me” he said as I turned my head in his direction, “I’m not like him…”

“Max…”

“I’ll listen to you, I won’t hurt you, I promise I’d never hurt you”

“But Max--I love--” he interrupted me by placing his lips on mine. I felt my entire body melt and I didn’t want him to stop. I don’t even think he knew how he managed to do that to me.

“Wow…”

“Jules, I--”

“No, don’t apologize” I replied, “It’s really okay”

Chapter 23

*Told ya I'd get another one in here for you. It's got some more Kris in it ; ) Oh ! and how about those Pens eh? Second rounnndd babbyyy !!! Anyways, enjoy this chapter :) Commments pleassseee:)*

*P.S. I know it's kinda short again...forgive me. But I did get two chapters up in less than 24 hours. So that should keep you happy til my creativity starts flowing again...my mind is clouded with sickness I'm afraid :(..okay, enjoy now !*

*Max's POV*

We were doing warm-ups before the game and Kris subtly skated over to me.

“How is she?” he asked.

I just sighed. Why was I helping him? I loved Julie, and don't want the two of them back together. But as I look up in the box, and remember how miserable she is without him, I just want for her to be happy, “You should ask her yourself”

“She’s here?”

“Yah, she asked to come to the game tonight”

“Oh…”

“Kris, she misses you…as much as I hate to say it…” I replied, “she said so herself”

He just sighed, “I need to talk to her”

“She’ll likely be around the dressing room later, I’m her ride…”

“Thank you, for taking care of her. I’ve been such an idiot” he said shaking his head.

“We’re guys Kris, we’re not perfect” I joked.

“Still, thank you”

“Not a problem, nothing happens to her under my watch”

*Julie’s POV*

I watched from the box and saw Kris and Max talking. It looked somewhat civilized, which made me feel a bit better. I just hoped it stayed that way, and that this whole thing would start to blow over.

The Pens ended up winning the game of course, not by much though, 5-4. Kris and Max actually scored too, which got me a little too excited. I went down to the dressing room to see Max, he was my ride, but I pretty much just wanted to see Kris. I just hoped he wanted to see me too…

“Hey” I smiled giving Max a quick hug, “Congrats, I knew that goal was coming”

He just laughed, “Thanks, but I think there is someone else you should be congratulating”

“He doesn’t want to talk to me” I said quietly.

“Just go see him” he said practically shoving me in his direction. My heart started to race the moment I saw him. I just bit my lip as his eyes met mine.

“Hey” I said quietly, “Congrats on the goal”

“Thanks” he said.

It was silent for a moment, I felt like running out of the dressing room at that very moment, but he spoke, and I couldn’t help but listen.

“I’m sorry” he said, “I’ve been such an idiot. I’ve realized that my life completely sucks without you. We’ve been through too much to throw it all away Jules. If you are willing to try this again, I want to”

I was caught off guard, I thought I was going to be the one begging. I was speechless, staring at him.

“Jules?” he said gently touching my cheek, “say…something?”

“I want to” I said quickly, “I miss you like crazy”

“Really?”

“Yes” I sighed with relief, “I’m sorry, I haven’t been the most amazing girlfriend either…”

“Don’t you dare change a thing” he said.

I just smiled, “Can I come home tonight?”

“Of course” he said, “There’s nothing I’d want more”

I just wrapped my arms around his neck and felt his strong arms wrap around me. I have never felt more safe then I did right then, how I missed those arms around me.

I just heard a few “aw’s” around the dressing room and I just smirked to myself and kissed his neck, “I love you” I whispered.

“I love you too”

“I guess the next time I have a fight with my girlfriend, I should just score a goal” Jordan laughed as he patted Kris on the back.

I just shook my head smirked at Jordan’s attempt. Let’s just say he meant well. My head was spinning, but in a good way. I was completely happy at this moment, and nothing and no one could rain on my parade, or so I thought. The look on Max’s face as I made up with Kris, was enough to break anyone’s heart. How in the hell was I supposed to fix this?

Chapter 22

*Don't hate me, I know it's been ages since I updated this, but in honor of Kris' birthday today, I thought I would put this up. You might even get another one tonight, if not, tomorrow : ) Enjoy !*


The last few days I haven’t spoken to Kris. He hasn’t tried to call me, and I haven’t tried to call him. Maybe right now it’s for the best that we just take a break from each other. I love the boy, but, maybe some time is all we need to get ourselves back on track.

The kiss with Max…well that could pose a problem. I will tell you that I don’t love Max. I love Kris. Yet, that one moment with Max was just something I’ve never felt before. The kiss was in the moment. It means nothing to me now.

Now, I feel like a bitch. I know how Max feels, and now I feel like I’m stringing him along. I think I need to tell him how I feel. There is nothing between us, it may hurt, but the longer I wait, the worse it will be if he falls in love with me.

“Max, we need to talk” I texted him.

“Okay, just leaving Mellon, be home soon”

I was still staying at Max’s, and nothing else had happened. Max has been busy anyways, not that I want anything to happen.

I sat on the couch as I waited to hear the door open. I was a bit jumpy. Every sound made me look at the door. I was nervous, no doubt, I wasn’t ready to see his reaction. I don’t like hurting people, who does?

“Hey” finally he came through the door with his million dollar smile.

“Hi”

“You ok?” he asked.

“I need to tell you something”

“Ok” he looked nervous. I could feel it in the pit of my stomach.

“Max…with everything that’s happened, you need to know the truth about something”

“Ok…”

“I know I kissed you the other night, after Kris left. But I know in my heart, that I don’t feel the same thing you feel for me. I love him”

He just sighed and fiddled with the backwards Penguin hat on his head, “I guess I should have expected this” he sighed.

“Max, I’m sorry”

“It’s really okay Julie, I was naïve to think you felt anything for me” he half laughed.

I sighed, feeling like such an idiot, “Max, yell at me, get mad or something, you’re killing me. I feel terrible”

“Why?”

“Because I kissed you, I totally just strung you along”

“Jules, don’t be so hard on yourself, telling you how I felt when you were in that state didn’t help”

“I guess”

“How about we just put it behind us? Keep our friendship alive. Plus, I’m sure Kris will be coming around soon”

I just smiled, “Okay, I can do that”

“Good” he smiled, “How about lunch then? Get your mind off of all of this”

“I like that idea”

How was he so understanding? Either that, or he’s just really good at hiding his anger and disappointment. I want to keep my friendship with Max intact.

We decided on the Cheesecake Factory for lunch. I ended up getting pasta, but I wasn’t even that hungry, and didn’t end up eating it all.

“You okay?” he asked as I played with the food on my plate.

“Not hungry” I simply said as the waitress set the check in front of us.

“Come on Jules, don’t let this get to you”

“It’s hard not to…I miss him”

He just sighed, “Is there anything that will get your mind off of him, even for a little bit?”

“I doubt it Max” I replied.

“You want to go home?” it was weird to refer to his place as home, but I’ve gotten so used to it.

I just nodded as he fished out his wallet from his pocket, left a tip and went to pay for the check.

“I’ll pay you back”

“No don’t worry about it” he said, “A lady should never have to pay for dinner”

I couldn’t help but smile at the stupid joke. He just laughed as we walked out to the car.

“Can I come to the game tonight?” I asked him.

I think he was caught off guard, “Well of course”

“Okay, I miss Mellon, it’s been a while since I’ve seen a game”

He just smiled, “Well it should be a good one, it’s against the Caps”

“Well I expect you to score a goal”

He just laughed, “I’ll see what I can do”

Chapter 21

*I know this should have been up ages ago. But better late than never right? Comments are appreciated : ) actually, they're encouraged : ). Oh and go check out a story, Heartbreak Warfare, that I'm writing with a friend of mine. Okays, enjoy:)*


I wrapped my arms around him the moment he opened the door. He hesitated but pulled me in tight and shut the door behind me. I didn’t want to let go, but he did.

“What’s wrong?” he asked.

“I told him”

He swallowed a lump in his throat and stepped back, “what did he say?”

“He said we’ve hurt each other too much, and that we’re not right for one another”

“I’m sorry sweetie” he said, “but I’m surprised you came here…after what happened”

I just sighed and ran my hand through my hair, “you were the first person that popped into my head. You’ve been an amazing friend this last little while”

He just smiled, “well I’ll be here for however long you need me”

“Thank you. Do you have a drink? I need one”

I heard a knock on the door but I ignored it and went for a drink and Max went to answer it. I heard raised voices, but it was muffled enough to not know who was at the door or what they were even saying. I cracked open the drink and took a peek around the corner, Kris.

I stepped out, took a sip and just stared at him. Kris saw me over Max’s shoulder, Max just turned to face me. I just crossed my arms over my chest and kept my eyes on Kris.

“What?” I asked.

“You wouldn’t let me finish” he said.

“You don’t want me, I get it, I’m fine with that”

He walked over to me and tried to pull my arms away from my chest. I kept them glued to my chest, bottle still hanging from my hand. He pulled it away and set it on the coffee table, and finally he released my arms from my chest and took my hands.

“You are the love of my life. There is no one else I would rather spend my life with”

“Then why the hell did you just say “we need time apart”” I snapped.

“Because we do”

“Then don’t fucking come here and tell me how much you love me. Unless you want me now, I’m staying here”

“Why here?”

“He’s been my friend”

“That is not what I fucking heard” he said

“Don’t start”

“I know you want more than friends” he said turning to Max.

“Kris, there is nothing happening between us okay? There never was and there never will be” I said grabbing his arm. You could tell he was fuming.

“Kris I wouldn’t do that to you” Max said.

“He’s just being a friend” I said, “So please just go, and when you’re ready for me, you give me a call”

“Fine” he muttered.

He left the apartment and I just grabbed the bottle off the table and almost drank it all at once right there. He stopped me and pulled it away from my face, “Jules, drinking won’t help anything”

I just sighed and wrapped my arms around him, it was all I could do at this point.

*Max’s POV*

She was frustrated more than anything and I had no idea what I was supposed to do at this point. Her arms around me was all I wanted, and she had no idea how much I wanted to take advantage of this moment, but I couldn’t do that to her, or to Kris.

I pulled away from her avoiding eye contact, her blue eyes drew me in every time and I wasn’t going to fall for it. I turned away from her immediately and considered getting a drink for myself.

“You ok?” she asked. As if she didn’t know.

“Not really” I said, “I think you know that”

“If this is about how you feel Max, I--”

“Don’t” I said quietly, “I’m not going back to that again”

“So what, you just want to avoid it? Avoid the fact that you’re in love with me?”

“What does it matter Julie?” I snapped turning around, “You don’t feel the same way”

She just sighed, and I watched to see if she would respond. I knew I had her with that. It’s Kris, it always has been and always will be.

“You know something” I said, “This may not help anything, but I’m going to tell you anyways”

“What?”

“The moment you first stepped into that dressing room, when you first started working for us, you had me. I had no idea how I would even tell you because I knew I couldn’t do anything to jeopardize your job, and when Kris came along, I saw how you looked at him and I knew that I had no chance anymore…”

“Max…”

“I guess I’ll just have to get over it” he half laughed, “can it really be that difficult?”

She didn’t say anything and I knew I had ruined everything by telling her that. I just sighed and finally gave in to getting myself a drink. Before I could do anything I felt her hand on my arm and she spun me around.

“You don’t get the last word”

“What?”

“Stop talking” she said. I didn’t say anything and she just took my face in her hands and kissed me. She pulled back and I was in a complete daze.

“Wow…”

“No one has ever said anything like that to me before, Kris never even talked like that…”

“It’s the truth”

She just smiled and my heart started to race. I felt different around her, she made me a different person, a different me. A me that I liked. A me that I never even realized I had.

Chapter 20

Did that just happen? Did Max Talbot just kiss me? And did I like it? All these thoughts ran through my head as I sat in my car. I was still shaking, I could barely start my car. I can’t believe he would do that, he knows how I feel, he knows I love Kris.

My head spun as I drove myself home, slowly but surely. I sat on the couch still trying to calm myself down. Max is supposed to be my friend, only my friend, that kiss we shared at his apartment meant nothing, we both knew that, it was an accident, I was vulnerable. This time, he meant it, this time I liked it, and I didn’t want to.

I turned my head as I heard footsteps and the door shut. Kris was home. I was relieved, his face was all I wanted to see right now, his arms were the only arms I wanted around me.

I stood up and I felt his arms wrap around me. We fit together perfectly, I just melted into him and sighed.

“You ok?” he asked quietly.

“I’m ok” I lied.

“Are you sure?” he asked.

I felt myself starting to cry, but I didn’t want to, because he would get it out of me eventually, and I knew he would hate me after doing that. I knew that could ruin his relationship with Max, and I didn’t want to be responsible for that.

I turned away from him and wiped my eyes, but he could see something wasn’t right.

“Julie, what’s going on?”

“I saw Max today…” I said quietly.

“And?”

“He told me…he loves me…”

I wasn’t facing him because I was scared of what he would say. I heard silence behind me and I was holding my breath until the moment he spoke.

“What did you say?” he asked.

I turned around, “I said I loved you”

“Did anything else happen?”

I didn’t want to tell him, but he’s been nothing but honest with me, so I had to.

“He kissed me…”

He was silent, he just ran his fingers through his hair and turned away from me. I had no idea what I was supposed to say, I was hoping he would say something. He finally did.

“Shit Julie…”

“I’m sorry”

“No, I’m sorry. After everything that happened before you moved out, this is all my fault…”

“Kris, it’s not your fault. If anyone is to blame here it’s me”

“I’m sorry I hurt you…”

“You’re hurting me now…”

“I’m sorry”

“Stop saying you’re sorry” I pleaded, “I get it, I forgave you, I guess you didn’t get that last night…”

“You were perfect last night” he said quietly.

“Than shut up. Because I love you, Max is my friend, I didn’t ask him to kiss me, he just did, I didn’t want him to love me, he just does, but that’s it”

I felt my phone vibrate in my back pocket but I ignored it. Yet, Kris heard it.

“You going to answer that?”

I sighed and looked at the name, Max. Of course, impeccable timing.

“I don’t want to talk to him”

“Answer your damn phone Julie”

I just sighed and flipped it open, “Hello?”

“Julie, we need to talk”

“I’m a tad busy right now Max, can we do this later?”

“Kris?”

“I’m talking to him now, yes, can I talk to you after?” before he could answer, I hung up the phone and tossed it on the couch.

“I don’t want him Kris. I just want you”

“Maybe were not right for each other. I hurt you, you hurt me”

“I’m sorry” my eyes were starting to well up with tears. He couldn’t do this to me, not now, “please…”

“You have to admit Julie, something just isn’t working if we’re going back and forth like this”

“I can’t lose you”

“You know as well as I do that we need time apart, even if it only lasts a few days…”

I swallowed a lump in my throat and grabbed my phone, “if you don’t want me here then fine…I’m gone”

I shut the door behind me and drove myself to Max’s. Where else was I supposed to go?

Chapter 19

Everything about this whole thing sucked. That kiss meant more to me than she knew, but I knew it meant nothing to her. Also, seeing the two of them together again killed me. He doesn’t deserve her after what he did, how does she take him back after that?

“You ok Max?” I heard Flower ask.

I turned my head to him and sighed, “I’m fine” I replied leaning down to lace up my skates.

I heard some chatter come into the dressing room and saw a crowd of guys coming in, including Kris. I just glared at him, in which he replied back with a long stare. He knew how I felt, but he didn’t care because he had her. He had her and I didn’t.

Practice felt longer than usual. I wasn’t on my game, ever since getting back from that shoulder surgery, nothing has been the same. Plus she has been on my mind.

I took a shower after practice and changed into my clothes. I left Mellon and drove anywhere but home. I decided to grab a coffee at Starbucks. I sat down near the window and took a sip of coffee when I spotted a familiar face out of the corner of my eye. Julie, with her laptop propped in front of her.

She caught my eye too and just smiled and waved and I went over and sat across from her.

“Hey”

“Hi” she smiled, “what are you doing here?”

“Just grabbing a coffee, I needed some time to think too”

“Oh really” she seemed interested as she shut her laptop, “what about?”

I wasn’t sure if I should tell her. Tell her that her smile is all I’ve been thinking about. Her blue eyes are burned into my brain. Her personality can light up the room, the sound of her laugh is stuck in my head like a bad song on repeat. Spending those few days with her changed my life completely. I feel like she’s made me a better person, she understands me, she just gets me.

“You still there?” she said quietly.

“Yah, sorry”

“You ok? You don’t seem like you”

“That’s cause I’m not like me…”

“What’s wrong?”

I moved my chair closer to her and she started to look nervous.

“What are you doing?” her voice was shaky.

I didn’t say anything, I just placed my hand on her cheek and slowly leaned in to kiss her. She resisted for a slight second but finally caved in. I pulled back and she just stared at me in shock.

“What?” was all she said.

“Julie, I know it’s probably not something you want to hear, but I love you”

“What?” she said again.

“I’m sorry, I’m done denying it”

“Max…I love Kris”

“Then what was that?”

“You kissed me”

“You didn’t exactly resist”

She just sighed, “Why are you doing this to me?”

“I’m sorry…”

“You know what? I need to go” she said putting her laptop in her bag and throwing it over her shoulder, “I’ll see you later”

I didn’t know what we were at this point. We weren’t together, but at the same time we weren’t apart. He was trying to earn my trust again, and he wasn’t doing so bad.

I had moved back with him and I was happy. He was trying really hard, and you could see it. He did want this, I could see it, but I wanted to trust him without having to think about it. He was cleaning, filling up the fridge and still keeping up with his hockey while I tried to find another job. He even bought me flowers, for no occasion when he came back from his road trip.

“Wow” I said, “I was not expecting this”

“It’s the least I can do” he smiled kissing my cheek, “you deserve it”

I grabbed a vase from the cupboard and filled it with water and stuck them in. I just put them on the kitchen table and looked at him as he stood on the other side of it.

“Why are you trying so hard?” I asked.

“Because I love you” he replied, “I want this to work, I want you to trust me again”

“I must admit” I smirked looking at the flowers than back at him, “you’re doing a pretty good job”

He came around the table and stood in front of me, towering over me. He was standing close enough for me to take in the scent of fresh soap off his skin. He knew it didn’t take much to draw me in, and right now, he was doing it.

He took my face in his hands and just studied it, like he was trying to read me. He just slowly leaned in and took my lips into a deep kiss. He took my breath away in just that moment and I couldn’t help myself. I pushed myself closer to him as I took the kiss deeper and you could feel the heat growing between us.

He pulled back only to pull my shirt over my head and I followed by unbuttoning the dress shirt, slowly, to make him want it more. He got impatient and just pulled it off, as the last few buttons scattered. I just smirked and he moved back to my mouth, picking me up as I wrapped my legs around his waist.

He laid me down on the bed and trailed kisses down my neck and shoulders. He stood up for only a moment and slipped off his pants. He was suddenly over me again and he unbuttoned my jeans with one hand, and helped me shimmy them off and discard them in a swift motion.

His hand gently slid up my leg, stomach and then rested his hand on my cheek and placed his lips on mine for what felt like the millionth time. I arched my back as his other hand reached back and unsnapped my bra. He discarded it and our bodies intertwined together finally as my hands wandered over every inch of his body.

This wasn’t sex, he was making love to me. He was showing me how much he loved me, how much he truly wanted us. Right now, I trusted him with every fibre of my being. He was all I thought about, nothing else even mattered, I could only see him, I could only feel him.

He placed a final soft kiss on my lips that still managed to leave me breathless as he slowed down my heart rate. I rested my head on his chest without a word. I listened as his heartbeat matched mine. I just let out a long sigh and placed a gentle kiss on his chest.

“I love you” I whispered.

“I love you too”

Chapter 17

*Pretty sure I have the best readers in the world! Thanks for bearing with me and my tiny rant that I let the whole world see. I just needed to get that out there to see if I really did have readers. So thanks for that. Enjoy this one. Not very long, but it will come, I promise :)*


I woke up that morning to an empty apartment. Max must have left for practice. I just looked through my packed bag and put on a pair of dark jeans and a white v-neck t-shirt. I still didn’t know what to do. Without him, it seemed like my life was out of order. I missed him, simply put.

He would have been at practice too, so there was no point in trying to call him. I sat on Max’s couch and flipped through the channels, contemplating what I should do, I wasn’t even paying attention to the tv.

I heard the door open and Max emerge. I just smiled and he responded back with a smile.

“I’m surprised you’re still here” he said.

“I don’t know what to do anymore” I sighed, “I miss him, but if I go back, I’m just paranoid that something like this could happen again”

“Just so you know, he wasn’t in his right mind at practice today. Something was off”

I just swallowed a lump in my throat. He was in pain because of me. But I was in pain because of what he did to me. I need to talk to him, it hasn’t even been that long and I’m going insane.

“I need to talk to him” I said grabbing my keys. He just looked at me and I smiled, “Max, thank you for letting me stay here, I’ll be back for my stuff”

He just wrapped his arms around me and I kissed him on the cheek, “see you soon”

“Go get him”

I put the keys in the ignition and listened as the car came to life. I sped through the streets finally arriving at the place I called home for so long. I almost ran to the door, unlocked it and ran up the stairs. The door was slightly open, I quietly pushed it open and I saw Kris and the back of a tall blonde. You have got to be kidding me.

“What the fuck is this?” I snapped.

“Julie…”

“So this is her?” I heard the blonde say, who I knew as Kate.

“This is me” I replied, “why is she here?”

“Because you dumped him”

“I left him because of you!”

“Well either way, he’s with me now” she said wrapping her arm around him.

He pulled away, “that is not why you’re here”

“Then why is she?”

“Because I’m trying to tell her it’s over and done”

“Is that right?”

She just nodded and my stomach immediately filled with knots. He was dumping her. How do I know that on his next road trip he won’t just go and do this again with another girl he randomly meets?

“You need to go” he said. She just huffed, turned on her heel and was out the door.

I stood there staring at him. I had no idea what I was supposed to say or do. My heart started racing every second he moved closer to me. He just pulled me into a hug unwillingly. After a minute I decided to wrap my arms around him. I had to admit, it felt good.

“I’m sorry”

“I don’t believe you”

He just sighed and ran his hands through his hair.

“But it doesn’t mean I soon will…”

He just looked at me with a confused expression and I just looked down at the ground.

“I want you back, more than you’ll know, but you have to earn my trust back Kris. And if this happens again, don’t expect another chance. I will actually leave”

“I’ll take that”

“Ok then, let’s see if we can make this work”

A huge smile spread across his face and I couldn’t help but smile back. I don’t know how this will turn out, but I can’t live my life without him, and this is all I can do right now. I don’t know if he deserves this, but I need him.

Chapter 16

“You cheated on her!?” he exclaimed shoving me into the wall.

“It was a mistake” I replied.

“A mistake that has a heartbroken girl sitting in my apartment with nowhere to go”

“She’s with you!?” I snapped clenching my fist

“She came to me, a friend” he replied.

“She stayed with you!?” I ignored what he said.

“I didn’t try anything on her Kris. She’s in love with you, I’m not that idiotic”

I just scoffed and tried to walk away but he grabbed my arm, “she left everything for you, you better think of a way to make this right before she’s gone for good” I just pulled away from him and walked down the hall.

I didn’t know what I was supposed to do anymore. All I knew was that I loved her and that everything I did was a mistake. I never meant to hurt her. I couldn’t bear to see her cry, it broke my heart. Watching her leave broke my heart.

We’ve been through a lot and for it all to be thrown away over this, is ridiculous. It is my fault, but she wouldn’t even talk about it. She wouldn’t even let me speak. She can be so hotheaded sometimes.

Walking into my empty apartment, felt empty. Obviously. A part of me was missing, it was too quiet without her around. Her being at Max’s is what got to me. Max? Of all her friends she goes to him? I’ve heard him talk about her before, it just never bothered me because I knew she was mine. I knew she would never go to him. Now, I can just see him pulling some stunt to get her in bed.

*Julie’s POV*

I was stuck in Max’s apartment. I wouldn’t leave, I wouldn’t go out into public, scared I would run into him. I wasn’t ready to talk to him right now. Not yet.

I heard the door open and Max came in, he just finished practice. I was just waiting to see if he would mention him, if he said anything about me.

“How was practice?”

“Fine” he replied, “he doesn’t look too good”

I just sighed and closed my eyes. He couldn’t be doing worse than me. He was the one that cheated on me. He hurt me. He broke my heart.

“Whatever”

“You need to talk to him” he said sitting beside me.

“I’m not ready to face him right now, just looking at him…” my voice trailed off.

“You can’t run away from it Jules”

“I know that” I snapped.

He just sighed and stood up. I just pulled my knees up to my chest and wrapped my arms around them. He just stood in front of me and looked down at me, “what?”

“Just don’t do anything stupid” he simply said.

“I won’t” I mumbled.

He leaned down to kiss my cheek but I turned my head, not purposely, and he got my lips. And because of my emotional state, I took it a bit farther than necessary. He pulled away and I looked at him in shock.

“Um…”

“Yah…”

“That was nothing right?”

“Yah, nothing” he replied shaking his head.

“Alright then…”

He just moved away and disappeared into the kitchen. I tried to process what just happened. It didn’t mean anything. It couldn’t have. As much as I hated Kris right now, I still loved him. Very much. Max was just a friend, and it was an accidental kiss that shouldn’t have went as far as it did.

I stood up and walked into the bathroom to take a shower. As the hot water fell over me, I started to feel somewhat better. I had calmed down a bit since yesterday, but I still didn’t think I was ready to talk to him. I don’t think he was ready to talk to me. When he realizes how much he misses me and realizes how much he screwed up, he’ll come to me.

I wrapped a towel around me and walked into the spare bedroom that Max was letting me stay in. I walked in and shut the door behind me and then I jumped, almost losing my towel when I saw him standing by the window.

“Shit Max” I said putting my hand over my heart.

“Sorry” he replied. His face turned ten shades of red, “this room has the best view”

“Yah….can you go now?” I finally asked, when he hadn’t moved.

I saw his eyes look me up and down and then he finally moved. He walked by me and shut the door. He scared me to death, but the thing is…he didn’t make me feel uncomfortable. I was just in a towel and it felt as normal as if I was fully dressed. I don’t think that was the case for him though.

Chapter 15

*I realized I needed some more drama in this :) I hope you guys like it..*



Kris and I were finally starting to work things out. We were growing closer, and the feelings I never thought could ever grow any stronger, did just that. I was in love. Head over heels in love, I wanted to marry him. Except he is the one who has the ring, I just hope he considers re proposing. I really felt ready this time, I just don’t know if he feels ready too.

They were playing a few games at home, so Kris was practicing a lot. I only got to see him late at night, if that. It really sucked, because I feel lonely without him around.

“Julie?” I heard him say.

“Hey” I smiled, it’s the first time I saw him home in a while.

“I need to tell you something” he said.

There was something in his voice, it made me nervous.

“What?”

“On our past road trip, we went out after a win…”

“And?” I asked. My hands were shaking.

“There was another girl”

I immediately stepped back and closed my eyes. Was I dreaming? Was this a sick joke? He seriously didn’t do that to me. He couldn’t have.

“Did you sleep with another girl?”

“No” he quickly said, “but there was a kiss…and it went a little far”

My heart felt like it was shattering. I couldn’t believe he did this to me. After everything we’ve been through. The forbidden relationship. The proposal. Calling off the proposal. When I got a new job in Montreal. I left Montreal, my job, for him. All for him and he does this to me.

I did all I had the energy to do, I slapped him. He just put his hand on his cheek and sighed.

“I deserve that”

“You deserve a bit more than that” I snapped, “I left my job for you Kris. All for you. And you turn around and cheat on me? You said you loved me…”

“I do love you”

“How do I believe anything you say anymore?” I said, eyes welling up with tears.

“I wouldn’t lie to you about that”

“Oh but you’ll go behind my back and makeout with some whore you’ve known for five fucking minutes. You proposed to me. I thought that meant something…”

“You’re the one who called it off!” he barked.

“Oh, don’t turn this on me” I replied, “You agreed we weren’t ready for that. Now, when I thought we were actually ready, and I even thought about telling you…I don’t think we’ll ever be ready if you can’t keep your hands off of other women…”

“Now you want to marry me?” he snapped.

“Yes Kris. Forgive me for waiting a little while…I only want what’s best for us, for you. All I wanted was you Kris. But it seems I’m not the only one you wanted…”

I walked to our bedroom and slammed the door behind me, locking it quickly. I heard him knock on the door but I didn’t respond to it. I heard him curse at himself and hit the wall. Tears were starting to fall as everything was starting to process in my mind. I never thought he could ever do something like this.

“Julie” he said quietly, “please let me in…”

“Fine” I huffed.

I unlocked the door and sat on the edge of the bed. He sat down beside me and took my hand but I pulled it away from his and moved over.

“I’m sorry” he simply said, “I had a few drinks, I wasn’t in my right mind”

“I guess you should have thought of that when you started drinking then…” I said standing up. I heard his phone vibrate on the bed. I beat him to it to see the name on the caller Id. Blocked number. I answered.

“Hello?”

“Hi, is Kris there?”

“Who is this?”

“Kate” she simply replied.

“You’re not talking to him” I snapped.

“Why?”

“Because I’m his girlfriend” I replied, “so just try and call again…”

I snapped the phone shut and threw it at him. I grabbed a suitcase out of the closet and started firing things into it.

“What are you doing?” he sighed.

“I’m going to go back to Montreal, try and see if they will give me my job back and get away from this city and from you”

“Why can’t we talk about this?”

“Because you were unfaithful to me Kris” I shrugged, “you gave a girl your number, you were with someone else while I sat at home, waiting for you, missing you…”

“But I love you Julie”

“I love you too Kris, but right now that’s not enough if I can’t trust you”

I finished packing quickly and grabbed my keys. Without saying another word to him I shut the door behind me and didn’t look back. I couldn’t go too far right now so I just drove to the apartment of the first person that came to my mind. Max. Who has been grown to be a loyal friend since I worked with the Penguins.

“Julie…” he said opening the door of his apartment.

“Hi…I had nowhere else to go” I sighed.

“Come in” he said moving away from the door, “what brings you here?”

“Kris cheated on me…”
