Star Crossed

Chapter 7

"Goodmorning" I heard as I came down the stairs dressed in a sweatshirt and leggings since I had the day off today. I turned to see James standing there leaning against my front door.

"Why are you up so early?" I turned around to smile at him as I rubbed my eyes, still tired. "I had an early morning skate, so I figured that since it's your day off, I'd take Jake to school and let you sleep in." He answered. "Well thank you" I smiled. "No problem" He answered,

"So what's going on between you and Sid?" he asked as he followed me into the kitchen. "That's none of your business mister" I said smiling as I pulled a water bottle out of the fridge checking the time 7:40, "What does it matter to you anyway?" I asked raising an eyebrow at him. "Nothing" he said, "I was just asking, For Jake's sake" he said as Jake sat down at the table. "Oh alright" I said sarcastically laughing at him and handing Jake an apple that I cut up for him. "So what are we going to do with Jake during the road trip?" he asked me leaning over the kitchen island. "Oh my God. I completely forgot!" I said reaching my hands up to cover my face.

I forgot the team was going on a 6 day road trip. Meaning, for almost a week, I had absolutely nothing to do with Jake.

"Well," James said interrupting my thoughts, "My mom is coming into town for the two weeks... I'm sure she would love to be able to watch Jake, and your sister could help too if she wants."

"Jay, I couldn't ask all that of her" I said still trying to think of things to do with Jake.
I felt his hands cover mine, pulling them down to my face . I opened my eyes to look straight into his, that charming smile plastered on his face. "She wants to, believe me, She hasn't seen him in forever" He said still smiling. "As long as she says Its okay..." I said not really knowing what to say.

"Alright! I'll call her later and tell her" He said letting go of my hands, smiling at me. "Ready Jake?" he turned towards the table. "Yup" Jake said putting on his coat and pulling his backpack onto his shoulders. "Zip up your coat bud, it's cold out there" I said crossing my arms, leaning back onto the counter. He groaned in response and James knelt down to his level to help him. "Bye mom" He said running over to me and hugging me around the legs.

"Goodbye! Have fun!" I yelled as they walked out the door before I went upstairs to go back to sleep.




When I woke up again, it was because my phone was ringing. "Hello?" I asked sleepily. "Goodmorning sunshine!" I heard coming through the phone almost immediately. "Well you're clearly wide awake" I laughed looking over at the time, 10:20. "Yup," he laughed, "Just got back from the gym and everything." "Early morning workouts? Those are just great" I said sarcastically getting up out of bed and walking down the stairs. "They actually are, you should join me one time" "Yeah right," I laughed out loud, "Because I would totally do that" "You're right, but they really aren't that bad" He said, I could tell he was smiling.

"So why did you call?" I asked opening my fridge to decide on something to eat. "I wanted to be the first one you talked to today. I would have called before my workout, but I didnt want you to hate me for waking you up to early" He said. "Well thats sweet," I said deciding on oatmeal, "But James already stopped by" "James? Why?" He asked genuinely confused. I didn't exactly know what to say, not wanting to mention anything about Jake. "He came by to remind me about the road trip" I said, not completely lying. I mean, he did remind me about the road trip. "Oh, yeah" He said. "Well anyway, I was wondering if you'd want to meet me for lunch" "Of course" I smiled, not even having to think about it. "Great" He said. "I'll text you where to meet me" "Alright" I said, still smiling. "See you then" He said. We both said our goodbyes before we hung up.

I went into the bathroom and looked into the mirror. "Well this will be fun" I said to no one in particular, referring to the mess that was my reflection.




Once I had showered, Blow dryer my hair and curled it, Did my make-up and tried on about 20 different outfits, I was ready to go. I still didn't look just how I wanted to, but I decided to leave anyway or I was going to be late.

I drove to the restaurant Sidney told me to meet him at and saw him sitting in a booth on his phone. He was wearing a penguins hat, of course, with just a plain v-neck shirt and jeans. He looked so simple, yet still better than me.

I walked over to the booth and he stood up to greet me.

"You look absolutely amazing" He smiled at me as we both sat down. "Thanks" I smiled at him over the table, 'So do you" "Yeah because a 2 hour workout with a 2 minute shower looks great on everyone" He said while smiling crookedly. "Well you're working it" I said laughing slightly. "I told my parents I should have gone into modeling" He said faking disappointment. "The sad part is you'd probably be better looking than half the girls that model" I laughed.

"Hi, I'm Rachel and I'll be your waitress, Can I get you anything to drink?" A tall, thin girl with blonde hair pulled back into a stick-straight ponytail asked. "Just water please,' I said politely. 'I'll have a water too" Sidney said looking up at the girl. "Sidney?" She asked surprised. "Hi Rachel" He smiled. "How are you?" She asked. "I'm doing good thanks" "How's James?" She asked, "He's good too" Sidney said "That's good," She paused, "Well i better go get these for you" She said.

"You know her?" I asked chuckling at his awkward reactions during their conversation. "Yes" He said looking down at the table, "I guess you could say we met through James. So I didn't know her that well, we met once or twice." "How does she know James?" I asked just trying to make conversation. "I guess you could say he's one of her regulars" He laughed putting air quotes around regulars. "What do you mean?" I asked fake laughing. "He's a bit of a tool, She's the same" He laughed, "I mean, he's like my brother, but we all know that much" "I get it." I nodded trying to hide that I was upset by this.

I don't even know why I was upset. I liked Sidney. But at the same time, I still liked James. But James was the same, He always will be. We didn't work out in the past, and we wont work out in the future.
