I felt my phone go off, so I decided to answer it. Unknowingly it was Jaxon, who was to be the bearer of bad news. He had told me that he wouldn't be able to make dinner because he was going to visit his family in Buffalo for a while. I sighed, but understood his circumstances.

I sat in my living room for the first time in days. It was completely silent. I was pretty sure that the silence was going to make me go insane. The sound of the ticking clock was the only dreadful sound I could hear. Tick. Tock. Tick. Tock.

"Tucker, do you think Paul has changed at all?" My dog just stared at me, blankly. "But he looks good and he seems like he's really doing good with his life as well." I always found myself talking to my dog. Sarah would always call me crazy.

I wondered who got the better hand dealt after the break up. I got the house and money. He got the happiness and freedom. It was almost falling into pieces. My father would always say that money wouldn't buy happiness and friendship, but family will.

......

It was almost three o'clock in the morning when I heard the door bell being pushed multiple times. I groggily got up out of bed with my dog at my hip, just in case. I opened the door to find Sarah, Ryan and... Matt?

They allowed themselves in. "Hey Ken, bye Ken," Sarah said swiftly as she pranced past me and up the stairs. Her hand was linked with Ryan's. I grinned at the two, knowing what was going to happen.

"What brings you here, Matt?" I asked, eyeing the tall brunette.

"I was sharing a room with Tyson, but he took a girl back to the hotel room. Paul did too, so Ryan came here and I didn't want to stay in the same room as them, while they get lucky. Sarah told me you guys had an extra bed," he said. Paul always got to live the party life while we dated, but when it came to his girlfriend going out, he was protective. Now he could sleep with anyone he wanted to, not that he couldn't have before. I let out a snort at the thought.

"Do you want a beer?" I asked. He followed me into the kitchen.

He chuckled. "I've had enough alcohol. Do you have like orange or apple juice?"

I smiled. I dug into the fridge and grabbed the bottle of orange juice. While I poured his cup, I noticed him take a seat at the island.

"So, tell me what happened with those two." I pointed up, queuing I was talking about Sarah and Ryan.

I handed him his drink and took a seat across from him. "Well, Ryan got there and he started to hit on Sarah a little. Paul and Tyson took off as soon as they saw there ladies. I just partied for a while, but didn't feel like it all that much tonight."

I nodded. "Was she easy for me him to swoop?" I asked, a little interested.

"Well," he took a sip of his drink, "She was persistent, but he managed."

"Ah, I see."

"So how do you know Paul?" he questioned.

I was a little taken back, but I had to answer his question. "I met him in Toronto a long time ago, but I haven't seen him since," I lied.

"So how old are you?" he asked, breaking the space between us.
"Too old for you," I started to get up, "And if you even dare to try anything tonight, my dog will eat your dick off." I walked off leaving him horrified at the thought.
......
I seen Ryan coming down stairs. He looked really scruffy and tired right now. "Good morning," I spoke.
"Yeah, you two. Are you making breakfast?" he asked, eyeing the food on the counter.
"Yeah, take a plate. Matt and I already ate."
"Where is Matt?" he questioned.
"He actually just left. He wanted to get cleaned up and what not." I started to run the water in the sink, so I could do dishes.
Ryan took a seat at the island, with his plate in front of him. "So do you think I could steal Sarah for a couple days some time soon?"
I thought about it. "It's not really up to me. If Sarah really likes you then she can on her own," I explained.
"She wanted to come down and watch a game and spend time with me. She said that she didn't want to leave you here on your own. You might get lonely or something," he teased.
I rolled my eyes. "Never that. Go ahead and take her. I know she loves hockey with a passion."

"Thanks, Kendall."
