My Sister, Your Girl

SIDS POV

Today was the day Cam and James was leaving for Nashville. After having an amazing night, I woke up with the realization that things weren’t going that great.
Cam woke up and rolled over to me. My eyes were puffy and red. I sniffled looking deep into her blue eyes that I fell asleep starring into.
“Hey shhh.” She spoke calmly, running her hand along my face.
“We will be okay.” She nodded reassuringly before a tear trickled down her face.
“We will be fine. We will.” She said trying to not only reassure me but also herself.
“I love you Camellia.” I say before also letting a tear roll down my face.
“I love you too Sidney.” She replies wiping the tear from my face.
“Please don’t cry.” She sniffles before letting out a small giggle.
“We will be fine.” I say to her.
“We will.”

After finally getting up Camellia and I made our way down the stairs to find Vero, Marc, Kris and Geno had cooked breakfast. James followed just after us.
“We love you guys.” Geno smiles.
“We love you guys too.” Camellia says.
“We will always support you guys.” Vero says.
“We are a family forever.” Marc says.
We all move in close forming a group hug.
“Family forever.”

After eating breakfast Vero grabs Camellias hand instructing for us to wash up.

CAMELLIAS POV

“I have a present for you.” Vero says as we walk across to her house. Thankfully the area was quiet so no one would see me still in my pajamas.
“I have a present for you too.” I giggle.
We reach the Fleury household and walk in unlocking the door. We go to Vero’s personal closest, which was always our favorite place to hang out together. I had made so many memories with her there.
She opens one of the draws that the tv is sitting on and pulls out a box. I look at Vero smiling and open it.
Inside is a pile of envelopes with an elastic tie around them. I take the tie off and attached is a small note.
Open one each day and I guarantee it will ALWAYS put a smile on your face. :)
The cards went on and on, each having different titles and enough to last exactly 3 months, one for each day.
I wiped the tear that had escaped from my eyes.
“This is the sweetest thing anyway has ever done.” I cry, embracing my best friend into my arms.
“That’s what best friends are for Camellia.” She smiles.
Also inside the box is a beautiful photo frame and my favorite photo of the both of us inside. It was the one of us both on the ice, her wearing a Fleury jersey and I wearing a Crosby one. We were standing with our lips pouted and one of our legs popped up. It was in a gorgeous detailed golden frame. Also in the box is a small dainty ankle bracelet with two little ice-skates hanging from the small chain.
“Vero, these are so so beautiful! Thank you!” I exclaimed grabbing her in my arms.
“Now I have a present for you as well.” I smirk grabbing her hand and exciting the house. That was also another thing I loved about this place, I was lucky enough to live right next to my best friend. We ran out of the house giggling and laughing and into my house. The boys stayed in their seats on the lounge playing NHL 14 for one of the last times together. Sid had turned around and smiled at me. I give him a kissy face before smiling and running back up the stairs to my room.
I open my dresser drawers and take out the bag. Inside was two boxes, I handed one to Vero and one to myself. Inside the Pandora box was a Pandora bracelet with various charms on it.
“How didn’t I think of this!?” Vero laughed.
We had both always said how much we wanted one in the shops but for some reason never came around to buying them.
I grab Vero’s and unhook it putting it on her hand as she does the same for me.
On Vero’s bracelet was a love heart with the number 29 engraved on it. There was also an ice skate charm and a Canadian maple leaf. There was C for Camellia and half a butterfly wing, which I had the other half. There was also a beautiful bouquet of flowers and a high heel shoe. On my bracelet was the same thing, with the other half of the butterfly, a bonquet of flowers to represent my florist, a ice skate, maple leaf, a love heart with 18 on one side and 87 on the other, a high heel shoe and a V for Veronique.
After Vero looked at all the charms she starts crying and hugging me tightly.
“Im going to miss you so god damn much!” She cries into my shoulder.
“Be safe okay?” She also adds.
“I will, I promise.” I smile wiping my tears.

***

Sid and I are in my room packing the last of things I needed in my suitcase.
“This is yours, and this too, oh and this.” I say grabbing various items of Sid’s clothing I was finding all over my room.
“Keep them all.” He says.
“But this is your favorite hoodie-“ I say.
“But you’re my favorite girl.” He smiles kissing me.
“Im going to miss you.” I say.
“Not as much as im going to miss you.”
“Its just a couple of months.” I reassure.
“A couple of months that will feel like a lifetime not having you around.”
“I know baby I know.” I pout.
