Wake Me Up
Chapter 2
The next morning Jackie woke up at 6. She had to get down to Klondike ice house to go practice with her team. She was on the junior USA team and that has tournaments every two weeks. Her team was good and always won. Next week though, would be her last time on the team before they would announce who's on the women's Olympic team.
Jackie walked downstairs and went into the pantry and grabbed Fruit Loops. She then grabbed milk, a bowl and a spoon and then sat at the kitchen table. She looked over into the family room and saw Hannah passed out on the couch with a flower blanket covering her. As Jackie ate her cereal her phone buzzed.
Message from Katy-hey slut(; listen Ramona isn't going to be on the team anymore, she broke her leg @ a ski resort yesterday. We gunna have 2 find a new goalie soon....and fast.
"Fuck!" Jackie banged her fist on the table in frustration. No goalie? Ramona was amazing at what she did. She had six shutouts and eleven games where the teams only scored a goal. Out of only playing twenty-seven games, that was great.
Jackie was the captain of the team and it was her duty to then hold tryouts to find a new goalie. She finished her cereal in a rush and then ran upstairs to get ready. She was only 18 and yet, she still managed to buy her own little house.
Jackie threw on an old pair of sweats and an old t shirt and then grabbed her hockey bag. She slung it over her shoulder and hurried downstairs. She sent a quick text to Katy, thanking her for the update. She then grabbed the car keys and headed out the door.
"So unfortunately, Ramona will not be playing with us anymore," Jackie announced to her teammates as they were all on the ice, leaning against their hockey sticks. She saw the look of disbelief cross each girls' face.
"No Ramona? Then how the hell are we going to play games without a goalie?" Danica, the defenseman on the team, proclaimed. Their was a mutter of agreement. Jackie began to get agitated.
"We are going to have tryouts for a new goalie in the next few days, but for now let's just keep practicing the way we have been. We gotta stay fit, in order to win next weeks tournament in Chicago."
"I hope you know what your doing," Danica said shrugging. Danica got on Jackie's nerves. She knew Danica had wanted to be captain of the team. The problem was, Danica took a different approach on being captain. Instead, she told the girls to play rough and hit dirty when the refs weren't looking. Jackie on the other hand, wanted teams to respect them and told them not to play dirty.
For the next two hours Jackie set up a series of drills for the team hoping they would help the girls become faster, and more agile.
At the end of practice, Jackie told all the girls what a good job they did and how she hoped that by the next practice, they would have a new goalie. She had to admit, playing without a goalie really did suck.
"Hey bitch, how was practice?" Hannah asked as Jackie walked in the door. The funny thing about Hannah was that she had her own house, but was almost never there.
"Not good, our goalie is injured and I gotta find a replacement by next week."
"Tough luck, listen which dress do you think is more sexy, this one, or this one" Hannah asked holding up two short dresses, one black and one leopard print.
"Don't know and don't fucking care." Hannah glared at her and then looked at both dresses.
"Leopard for sure, are you sure you don't wanna come to the club with me?" Jackie did a bitter laugh.
"Hannah your not even aloud to drink yet and not even old enough to get into clubs." Hannah waved Jackie's comment off.
"18 is practically legal."
"No."
"Yes."
"No."
"YES!" Hannah screamed in frustration.
"Whatever, but when your arrested don't bother calling me." Hannah snorted.
"Wouldn't dream of it."
In the next two hours Jackie sat on the couch watching reruns of hockey games, while Hannah buzzed around the house, getting ready for the club. When Hannah was all done she stood in front of the TV with her hands on her hips.
"Well? How do I look?"
Hannah had on the skin tight leopard dress that went to her thighs. She wore a pair of black stiletto heels and had her hair curled. She had on bold red lipstick that matched the color of her nails. She had on mascara and wore black eyeliner that made her eyes look astounding. She had a black clutch with gold studs on the top in her right hand. Jackie had to admit, she looked hot.
"You look amazing." Hannah beamed.
"Thanks girl, now listen, if I'm not back by 3AM, I'm with a guy, so you dont need to worry." Jackie nodded her lazily. She had heard this many times before.
"Are you sure you don't wanna come with?" She asked. The truth was, Jackie never felt beautiful like Hannah. Everything she wore she thought she looked like a skank in or she just didn't look right in. She never told this to Hannah though. Jackie kept her problems to herself.
"No no, you go out and have a fun time." Hannah gave Jackie a hug and said, "Your the best, you know that?" Jackie did a fake laugh.
You better get a move on." Jackie then watched as her friend walked out the door. Well, Jackie thought I'm going to make the most of this night. Jackie then logged onto her laptop and began to search up girls that she knew were goalies. As she dug farther and farther into her search, she realized none of the girls could compare to Ramona.
By the time Jackie had given up, it was already twelve. To get her mind off of her predicament, she logged onto Facebook. "Your a whore, I hate you, you have no life," were among the things Jackie muttered when looking at Facebook. Just then a photo caught her eye. It was of Hannah and some guy. To get a better look, Jackie clicked on the photo.
What she saw, made her heart stop. It was Hannah with a guy. But not just any guy.
The guy was Jonathan Toews, and they were kissing in the picture.
