Rescue Me (Sidney Crosby)

Chapter Forty Six

Ever get that feeling that you were going to be sick when you saw someone's face? Well, I got that feeling when Boris kicked in the door to the locker room and walked in. We were all in the locker room wanting to wait out the media, because we really had nothing to say to them. Doc had stitched Julie back up and she was leaning against me, I don't know how, but Doc had found some way to numb her leg, which ended up being all right for Julie. But when that creep kicked in the door, every player was up and standing in front of their families.

"Nicely done, boys," he said with a smirk and I felt Julie stand up, gripping onto my shirt and staying behind me, "You won me a lot of money."

"You leave now! No welcome here!" Geno yelled and I put my hand on his arm.

"You might not be the welcome party, but there is definitely a party going to be happening," he said and I felt Julie shaking against me, "Получить ее."

"No!" Geno yelled and I held Julie against me because I had no clue what the guy had said and all I saw was Geno standing in front of me, "Оставь ее в покое!"

'...Speak English...' I thought because I had no idea what the two were saying.

Boris smirked and then walked further into the room and I tensed. He walked over towards Tyler and Tyler was glaring at him, "Where's you pretty girlfriend?"

"Away from you," he barked and Boris smirked.

"We'll see."

"You stay away from her!" Tyler growled as Boris turned away and looked at me.

"Mr. Crosby, I see you still have that pretty girl with you," he said with a smirked and I glared, "My boys tell me that she was fun, a real fighter."

My fists were clenched and I heard Julie whimper and pull on my shirt, I knew she was terrified, and I knew I was seriously want to hurt this man for making her feel terrified.

-Julie-

'...Please go away, please go away, please go away...' I kept thinking as I clung to Sidney completely terrified of this man, I never knew there could be someone worse than Kyle.

"You got what you wanted!" Kris yelled and I felt the tension in the room, "Leave us alone, you heard Geno, you're not welcomed here!"

I looked around the room and saw that the guys were pissed and the girls were confused, well except for Vero; although, she did look a little confused.

"You know, my men get paid a large sum of money," he said and then looked over towards Sidney and I, "And their paychecks are due this week, but you know what they want instead of money?"

"We could care less, leave now!" Pascal growled and I saw that his wife was scared.

"Benny, tell them what you boys would like," Boris said and this big guy that was taller and wider than Geno was standing in the middle of the room staring at me.

"We want that hot piece of ass," he said and I gasped and then felt Sidney back up and push my back.

"Stay away from her," he growled.

'...I don't want to do this anymore...' I thought as I looked to see that some of the guys were pushing their wives and girlfriends into their Coach's office and telling them to go into Doc's, '...They're giving so much up! I thought it would be over with Kyle!...'

"HEY!!!" I heard and then turned to see that Coach was standing by his door glaring at the mob man, "Get the hell out of my arena!"

-Sidney-

I had Julie practically shoved into someone's locker, but it was keeping her safe and I was ok with that. Coach was pushing Boris and his men back, and soon he was out the door, it seemed like everyone let out a sigh of relief. The wives ran out of Coach's office and of course the first thing they wanted to know was what the hell was going on.

'...Oh this is gunna be fun...' I thought and then turned around to face Julie and then helped her step out of the locker and wrapped my arms around her, "You're all right," I muttered into her head because she was still shaking.

"Get her home, Crosby," Coach said and I nodded my head and then grabbed my bag and walked Julie to my car. I was taking her home.

-Julie-

I was sitting in the living room with Sidney, it was late, but I wasn't tired at all, I kept on thinking about what had happened in the locker room and I desperately wished that it didn't happen. I kept thinking about how if I hadn't of stayed in Pittsburgh, then this would have never happened. Sidney and the boys would never have lost tonight's game, Tyler wouldn't be depressed without Allie, where ever she was, and Sidney's life wouldn't be crazy like this.

"You all right?" Sidney asked and I looked at him to see that he was walking into the room from the kitchen holding a carton of ice cream and a bottle of the wine that Vero had gotten me hooked on.

I gave him a small smile and he sat down next to me, I know the last time I left, it didn't end well, but this time, once Josh was back from where ever Mildred had taken him, I was seriously thinking about leaving Pittsburgh, '...These boys don't need me in their lives, their life is already crazy without me ruining it...'

"Julie."

"Yeah," I muttered and I looked next to me to see that Sidney had sat down and was holding out the ice cream and wine.

"You all right?" he repeated and I slowly nodded my head, "You sure?" he asked and I hesitated for a second, but then shook my head 'no', "I'd think you were a robot if you were," he teased trying to lighten my mood as he placed the wine and ice cream on the table in front of us.

"Thank you," I muttered and then looked at him.

"For what?"

"You protected me today," I said and he moved closer to me and wrapped his arm around my shoulder.

"Of course I will, I care about you," he said and I looked at him and nodded my head.

"I'm scared," I said and he nodded his head and then kissed my forehead.

"The seasons over, I'm going to call Mildred in the morning to bring the boys home," he said and I nodded my head, "We're gunna leave by the end of the week."

"What?" I asked confused.

"I'm taking you back to my home," he said and I blinked, unsure of what to say.

"What about the shop? Millie can't handle it by herself, and with Allie missing-" I started but he pressed his lips against mine.

"Everything will be all right, I promise," he said and I sighed and nodded my head.

The doorbell rang and we both looked towards the hallway and Sidney sighed, it was late, '...Who is that?...' I thought as I stood up and limped over towards the window to see that there were a lot of cars outside, '...What is going on?...'

I heard Sidney talking to someone and walked out in the hallway to see that his teammates were standing outside the door. I looked at them and watched as they walked into the house.

"Comment allez-vous, ma chère?" (How are you, my dear) Kris Letang asked as he walked up to me and wrapped his arms around my neck.

"J'ai connu mieux, mais vous savez, c'est l'habitude, en se cachant pour ma vie," (I've been better, but you know, it's the usual, hiding for my life) I whispered as he pulled away and he nodded his head.

"Personne ne devrait avoir à vivre comme vous le faites, Julie," (No one should have to live the way you do, Julie) Pascal Dupuis said as he walked over towards Kris and I and hugged me.

"Merci, mais le plus triste, c'est que je suis habitué," (Thank you, but the sad part is, I'm used to it) I breathed and then sighed and rubbed my face, '...Marc's definitely not the only one who can speak French, great...'

"Nous devons changer cela," (We need to change that) I heard and then looked passed Pascal to see Marc walking over towards me with Vero at his side.

"Hey will you guys freaking speak English! I wanna be in the loop too!" Sidney said and I smirked as he stood at my side.

-Sidney-

No one was apparently able to fall asleep that night, they were too pumped up from what had happened in the locker room. We all crowded into the living room and I sat on the couch next to Geno, with Julie on my lap and leaning her head on my shoulder. I saw that her legs were on Geno's lap, and he didn't seem to mind, I found that he had taken Julie under his wing like a little sister and I was happy that my teammates were starting to like Julie. I knew they had felt sorry for her, some had even told me so when Julie had already fallen asleep on my lap. There was nothing we could do against Boris except for let everything that happened today go.

"You hear from Allie?" Kris asked Tyler and he shook his head, "Where could she have gone?"

"I don't know," he said and I sighed and looked down towards Julie to see that she was whimpering in her sleep.

"She having nightmare?" Geno asked and I leaned my head back to see that she was.

"Poor thing," Vero said as noticed and then hopped off of Marc's lap, "Let me take her upstairs, she probably needs her bandage changed anyways."

I nodded my head and softly woke Julie up and her and Vero left the room to let me and the half of my team discuss what we were going to do for next season, because this whole lose on purpose thing, was the first and last time it was going to happen.
