At the game Tyler seemed jumpy, almost like he was unsure of something. No one else seemed to notice it. But me being his cousin I knew something wasn't right. I ran up to him and shook his shoulder. He jumped.
"Ty, are you ok? You seem very nervous and when I touched you, you jumped. What is going on?" I questioned him. He gave me a long sigh before turning to me.
"I met this girl, Holly. I gave her tickets to tonights game. And I am not sure if she will come. She told me she wasn't really interested in hockey." I nearly screamed.
"YOU MET A GIRL! AND DIDN'T TELL ME! WHEN WAS THIS?" I yelled at him. All the girls turned to me and Tyler and nearly shit themselves before they ran over.
"What!" Angie, Adam Mcquaid girlfriend asked.
"You met a girl? Am I dreaming?" Nathalie, Rich Peverly's wife asked. All of us girls were stunned.
Even the guys stopped, "Wait you told the girls you met someone before you tell your boys. Your team. You tell the girls?" Shawn Thornton questioned my now embarrassed cousin.
"Ugh! I didn't want anyone to know. But Bailey asked me and I told her then she screamed it out. And I'm not even sure that Holly will show up."
"Don't worry Tyler. Any girl would be luck to have you. Hell if I didn't just marry Greg, and was a few years younger, I would want to be with you." Katie, Greg Campbell's wife said.
“The hell!?!?! You are secretly in love with Segs!” Greg teased them.
“Can we just focus on the game? I really don't want coach to be mad that we are more focused on Ty's love life then we are winning this game.” Chris Kelly told the team. Everyone nodded in agreement.
Once we got to our seats the questions started flowing.
“So... You and Dougie looked very comfy this afternoon. What was that all about?” Krissy, Chris Kelly's wife asked.
“It was nothing. He wanted to nap on the floor and let me have the bed. But I denied and said he could have the bed and I would take the floor. But he wasn't having it. So I said we could share the bed. But we somehow ended up cuddling. So, nothing really happened. But you can keep telling yourselves that.” The girls all looked at each other and smirked.
“But you two were all entangled in each other and looked so in love. It was too cute. Then you fell off the bed and pulled him with you. You then proceeded to stand up and look at each other like you were both in love and didn't give a shit about the rest of the world.” Erin, Shawn Thornton's wife told me.
I rolled my eyes at the girls and got up to go get a beer when I suddenly sat back down because I remembered I can't drink.
“Hey Tammy. How much do you love me?” I questioned the blond. She turned to look at me.
“I don't know. It depends. Why what do you want?” Tammy fired back.
“Well, because I could really go for a beer. But I am under the age of twenty-one and it is considered illegal. And I wanted to know if you would go purchase it for me and bring it back here. Please?” I begged the mother of two. She sighed and got up.
“Fine. But only if you promise me you will name one of your kids Tammy Marie Hamilton.” She smiled and I groaned but nodded. She jumped up and ran off.
“So are you sure you don't have feelings for our favorite Dougster?” Rebecca Sidenberg questioned. I blushed.
“I wouldn't say I have NO feelings. But I don't have full feelings for him. I did just meet him yesterday.” The girls picked up on my blushing and started asking me what colors and such I wanted for my wedding. I just ignored them and waited for the game to start.
During the game versus Winnipeg Dougie got his first goal. Me and the girls were on our feet. In the middle of the game I got a phone call, so I left the seats to call the person back. When I saw that it was my sister that called me I nearly had a heart attack.
“Hello?” My sister Carrie said.
“Hey. You called me earlier?” I answered timidly.
“Oh yeah. I wanted to.. um... uh. Apologize to you for everything I did. I understand if you don't want to move back in and you want to stay in Boston. But I don't want us to be mad at each other. I know it was your decision to not go to college. But I don't know why it ticked me off. Just I think it is because you are now going to be hanging out with a bunch of people who didn't go to college. And you got scholarships to go to colleges all over the country, and you chose not to go. You could be a very famous athlete. And you deserve more.” See my sister Carrie Underwood, yes the singer, lives in Connecticut during the hockey. But she likes it there and then when it is over she and Mike go on week long vacations. And there is TOO much sex in the house when they are there. And also I got multiple scholarships to colleges for my softball playing. I was the pitcher and could pitch faster then you could say happy birthday.
“I know Carrie. But it just hurt me. Since mom and dad divorced I needed to get away from all the playing and going to school. And I know you would have helped pay for it. But I didn't like living off of you and Mike for everything. An even if I did go to college. Mom and dad can't even be in the same room as each other, you and Mike are always working. And when I graduate no one would be there for me. Because if Tyler made it to the playoffs he would be there, and so would Aunt Jackie and Uncle Paul. You would be either recording or touring. Or you maybe supporting Mike if he made it to the playoffs as well. So I would be the only one there without family to see. I know what you are going to say. 'I would take off as much time as I can to be there for you.' But you know you won't be able to. And you will feel bad Mike will feel bad and everyone will feel bad, and I will be showered with gifts for the next four years of my life.” We both laughed at that, and then chatted for a little longer before I told her I had to go. W bid our goodbyes and hung up. I went back to my seat to see we were down by one. Just as I was sitting down Tyler scores and everyone jumped up.
“Yeah! Go Tyler!!!” Everyone started chanting Tyler and he couldn't have been happier.
“GOAL UNDER REVIEW FOR HIGHSTICKING!” A voice boomed over us.
“What! How can the say that was a high stick!” I was flipping out, until they declared it a goal.
Next Brad scored and we are now up by one. As the game is coming to a close with one point three seconds left in the game the Jets go to score and everyone thought it was a goal until the linesmen said no goal! Everyone was so happy! Now let's see how the locker room is taking the news..
