My new life
Chapter 1
(Dec 27,2012)
I was standing on the edge of the Roberto Clemente Bridge and just feeling the breeze from the frozen air. I got out my iphone and play this song that I have stuck in my head all day."Spaceship" by Daughtry. The song was almost over I was letting my finger losing it's grip.
"Rebecca ! What are you doing out here ? Don't do it!" He was yelling and his breath was heavy.
"Rebecca, please don't!" Another man yelled. When he reach me I could feel his hand trying to get to me. But was it to late?
6 months ago (July 2012)
"I can't believe that your going to have a photo shoot with Sidney Crosby tomorrow." My best friend Annie told me. We were in Forever 21 just looking around. There was nothing that caught my eye or something saying "BUY ME !"
"Rebecca are you listening to me?" Annie ask.
"Yeah, I have a lot on mine mind."
"You shouldn't have anything on your mind. Your going only thing is going on in your mind is how hot Sidney Crosby is. That also your brother James Neal plays with Sid. Does Sid know that your the sister of James Neal? I wish I could come with you but I have back to Oshawa for my grandmother's funeral."
"Abbie, be nice. You love your grandmother. So when's your flight?" Abbie look at her watch.
"My flight leaves today at 6:25 PM and I'm already pack."
THE NEXT DAY
I was heading to the stuido that we are having the photo shoot. When I got there it look like everyone was packing up. That's weird, I'm always 20 min early for everything. I ask someone what was going on. This guy told me that they are going to the Concal Engery Center. It would be easier to take photo. He told me that my changing room was in the away locker room. When I got to the Concal Engery Center I knew that I was getting the away locker room and Sid will get his locker room. When I walk into the away locker room I see that they wanted me to wear my team Canada suite that I wore when I won the gold two years ago. The colors are gold and red. Suite on, Stakes on, Make up done, hair put up in a pony tail and ready for the photo shoot. They told me that I could go out there and stake while they wait for Sid. I was staking around they were playing "Drunk On Love" By Rihanna and then I hear someone saying my name.
I stop to see if Sid was really here. Sid was behind the guy that told me that he was here. He waved at me, I wave back. About 10 minutes later he came out with his team Canada jersey, Jeans, Black hat and his stakes.
"So your name is Rebecca, right?"
"Yeah." The photo shoot didn't take that long. I didn't want it to end because Sid was funny and I was having a good time.
"Ok that's a wrap everyone!" The photographer told us. As Sid and I were heading to the exit.
"So what are you doing for the rest of the day?" Sid ask me.
"Nothing, I am so glad because I need a break."
"Would you mind if we go to Starbucks and get something?" Why not ! It's Sidney Crosby!"
"Sure." When I got back in to normal clothes and make up. We headed to the close Starbucks in Sid's Range Rover.
"So not to be mean in anyway, but I didn't know anything about you, I had to look on youtube to know who you were. So tell me all about you." He smiled.
"Well born and raised in Oshawa, I won the winter olympics,was the youngest to win and then last year I move here to go to University of Pittsburgh. I'm 22 years old. I have a great friend her name is Annie. She moved here the same times as me but she's was living in Dallas for three years. She was going to University of Texas but she didn't like the distance so she transfer from Texas to here. "
"When's your birthday ?"
" It's about a month, August 7th." The he started to laugh.
"I know that's funny that we have the same birthday. By best friend is a big fan. She couldn't come today because she's at her grandmother funeral in Oshawa." We got back in Sid's Ranger Rover and back to my car. Which was the same car to but I have a Penguins Sticker on it.
"It was good to met you." He smiled.
"Yes it was."
Sid's P.O.V
I was heading to the airport I was only thinking of one thing. I should of given Rebecca my phone number so we could hang out more. She was very cute with her long brown hair. Now I am heading to Halifax and take a week off. Then back to work.
A WEEK LATER
It was 5 in the morning and I was heading down to the ice rink close to my house. When I get to the rink there only one car and that's the janitor waiting for me so he could open the door for me. But when I got there I see 3 cars. I though that was weird. When I walk inside I could hear two people talking.
"Rebecca you need to do that jump then run through the whole routine 4 more times." Someone said. My ears jump when I heard her name. It might not be her, when I walk closer to the rink I see two people. One with a black hat and other with brown long hair in a pony tail. That had to be her.
"Play the song." The guy said. Rebecca was staking into the middle and was getting ready to start when the music was starting to play. So I took a seat and watch how she won the gold at the winter Olympic. She was doing good, but when she saw me and she fell, the music cut and got very quiet.
"Rebecca that's the third time that you fell on that spot! You need to strengthens your core. Get on the treadmill for an hour." I walk in the locker room and change. When I walk out to the rink I spotted Rebecca running on the treadmill with her headphones on.
Rebecca P.O.V
While I was doing my routine I was making sure that I was doing everything right, then I the couner of my eye I spotted Sidney Crosby. Then everything in my mind disappear and I fell on to the ice. I know that my coach Dallas will not be happy that I fell for the third time. I have been here since 4 AM, I'm not happy abut it.
"Rebecca that's the third time you fell on that spot ! You need to strengthen your core. Get on the treadmill for an hour." Man, I just wanted to go back to bed. When I was staking off the ice I was looking around to see if I was seeing things. When I got on to the treadmill and I put my headphones on. I played the song over and over to make sure that I am doing everything right. "The Fighter" By Gym Class Heroes Feat. Ryan Tedder. About an hour later I was done and now I am going back to my hotel go to bed.
The Next day.
Coach Dallas said that he couldn't make it but he still wants me to work on the routine. So I woke up at 5
and headed down to the ice rink. This time I did ok but I think I need to work on it one more time.
