It's a Hockey Night in Pittsburgh!

Wade
Since that two months I have been flying back and forth from New York to Pittsburgh to be with Wrenn. She's all that I have left. Dad and I never were close when we I was a kid. We had a week off from the season. I headed to Pittsburgh wh’ere the Penguins were going to play the Capitals. I knew this might be tuff for her since the Capitals did gave her first job and all. What did she really mess it up.
At the game, she was wearing a beanie but I could see that her hair was short. That you can't even see it under the hat. Was she going to show everyone after the game tonight. Wrenn was on the edge of her seat watch the game. I remember the first game that dad took us to see our first hockey game. It was the Colorado Avalanche VS Detroit Red Wings. Wrenn and I had matching jerseys with Patrick Roy on the back. After the game, she would ask dad a million questions about hockey. I had never seen dad smile that big about a sport. When Wrenn told him how she got fired from the capitals, he never smiled at her ever again. Then what happen in Philly, well never wanted to speak to her again. They were close, not any more. I remember that one time, I went out with a couple of buddies and we were playing hockey street. Wrenn wanted to play with us but we told her that she's a girl and she can't play with the boys. She didn't cry in front of us. All she did was came up to me and punch me in the face. Then ran back home. When I got home Mom was upset that I got a black right eye. She wanted to know who did it. I love my sister and I will never throw her under the bus.
"Oh Johnny and I got into from the game today."
"You and games." She laugh and gave me an ice pack.
Still this day I can see it in her eyes that look when she was the players warming up. Wrenn belong to the NHL and nothing else. I'm so glad that she stay with hockey and nothing else.
After a nice backhand from James, Wrenn jump out of her seat and gave me a hug. At the end of the big win from the Penguins we all went down to the locker room and waiting for them. Potash was talking to James about the game. When they were down Wrenn gave Potash a hug and they were talking. James was already dress when they were talking.
"Have you seen her hair yet?" James ask me.
"No, she cover it all game. I think she's was going to show you it tonight when we get home. I have never seen her hair that short before." We walk up to Wrenn and Potash, they sound like they were having a good time.
"Well it was nice talking to you, I miss you. I hope I can come back before the playoffs."
"Do you want to go out tonight or go home?" James ask.
"I think home would be better, I'm tired and my body needs to rest." We were close to home and I could see that James was holding Wrenn's hand. I'm so glad that she found a better guy that Claude.
"Can I see your hair cut?" James ask.
"When we get home, it's dark in here and you can't see it. I need you to drive." When we got into the living room, I see her taking off her hat and I think James took a step back. It was pixie short and it was amazing on her.
"You guys don't like it, that's why I wore this all game."
"No, I love it. I just never seen your hair that short before."
"James, you haven't said anything." Her eyes was cover in tears.
"I have no word and that's a great no words to me. Don't cry, I'm here to help you and love you. I love your hair." He walk up to her and gave her a kiss on the check.

Wrenn

I can't sleep tonight, all I could think was the break down I had when we got home. I was crying over my hair. James' breath was by my ear and I know that he's in deep sleep right now. Maybe some tea can help me sleep better. When I walk out to the kitchen, I see Wade pouring some tea for himself.
"Can't sleep?" He turn around and saw me.
"Yeah, I just got a call from some people I don't want to talk to at this moment."
"Who?"
"Coach wants to be back by tomorrow night, this girl I though I was seeing is sleeping with an old college roommate and yes it's a girl so she dump me before everything this happen."
"What's the last one?" He took a deep breath and a sip from his tea.
"You should tell me now or I will come over and sit on you like the old days." He laugh a little.
"Fine, it was the prison that dad's at. He wants to see me, he wants something. I don't know what but I'm not going." My heart stop when Wade said prison. It's been a while since I heard those two words, Prison and Dad.
"Your not going because of me?"
"Yes, what dad did to you. I told him in person that I will never speak or see him when he's in prison."
"Wade, just go and see him. If you tell him what's going on, I know that the farther side of him might come around."
"That's not going to work. When you were pregnant he didn't care in the world that he was going to be a grandfarther. He took our mother's life away from us." He got up and walk away.
"See you in the morning." In the morning, I see that James already left for morning stake. I turn on 937 The Fan to hear Vinnie and Cookie.
"We have a surprise guest on the show. Penguins star James Neal. So your very close to Wrenn, how is she doing?"
"She's doing great right now, everything is fallen into place where she needs to be. Having support from the penguins, capitals, her brother Wade and friends."
"Her brother Wade plays soccer for a living right?"
"Yeah, he's a great guy. That he drop everything to be with her was the reason family always comes first." They talk about what the penguins need to do to get closer to the cup. When I was done hearing the interview. I called my doctor.
"I was wondering if I could able to fly anytime soon."
"How long are you going to be gone?"
"Maybe three days?"
"I think it would be safe if you stay here."
"How abou the train?"
"That seems fine." I bough myself a round way train ticket to Denver to see my dad. He needs to know if he wants to know or not. I left James a note that Wade is taking to New York for the weekend to cheer me up.
