Chapter 6
Cole Bardreau was sitting by the pool when his phone went off. "Gen Connelly what the fuck is up?" Cole met Gen when she started hanging out, and eventually dating his teammate Brayden Caldwell. He thought what Brayden did to her, cheating on her with her best friend was pretty shitty of him. "You know J.T. right?" He knew this was coming, those cryptic texts from the other night, he knew J.T. and Gen too well. This was recipe for disaster. "Yeah we won a gold medal together. 2013 World Junior Champions. He's like a brother to me. If I only I can go back. Why?" He could feel her take a deep breathe into the phone. "You knew about Brayds cheating on me right? Before I found out?" He shook her head. "I found out literally right before he told you. Because I made him tell you Gen. He wasn't going to stop. He wanted to have the best of both worlds. Why are we talking about Caldwell? He's in the past Genevieve." He could hear her still on the phone. "Right. I know that. Thank you by the way. It may of been a hard pill to swallow, but I can't even think about what an idiot I was not seeing it. But I just don't want to go through the same thing with Jonathan Tanner." He told her what J.T. meant. The boys back at the WJC tourney had to wikipedia him to find out. He wouldn't tell anyone. He still had no idea why he didn't just go by Johnny. He called him Johnny for shits and giggles. "If he told you what J.T. meant then he likes you. I am supposed to be at physical therapy in like 20. Talk to you late Conn."
*****************************************************************
Gen already knew J.T. liked her and Cole was no help to the situation. She needed more insight on him. She went onto Instagram and scrolled down her newsfeed. Jack Campbell, Nathan Gerbe, Kevin Shattenkirk all the boys were posting pictures of training. And J.T. was in every single one of them looking like perfection. She couldn't deal with how hot he was. And he wanted to be her boyfriend. She still didn't know how she felt. She just kept giving him maybe's, and I don't want to rush things and let's go slow's. But he wanted an answer and she didn't know what it was going to be. She forgot it was thursday and quickly posted a tbt of her and Patty and Connor at the 2007 draft. Patrick proudly wearing his Pittsburgh Penguins First Round jersey over his dress shirt and suit pants. She stood in the middle of them in a cute white dress. She wrote her caption "The draft is almost here! Just a couple more days! TBT to these two beauties at Pat's draft day! #gorangers #gopens #tbt." She clicked share and in literally two seconds Cole and J.T. both liked her picture. That was fast. She really had to give J.T. an answer. She clicked Cole's name and scrolled down his insta liking his TBT of his freshman year at Cornell. She commented. "Such a cutie Coley! Can't believe your going to be a senya! See you back at the C in a couple!" She was glad they were friends, and it didn't hurt that he was gorgeous. "Please give me an answer." J.T.'s name "Miller Time." Appeared on her phone. "If you break my heart, I break you. Miller you have an answer. I'll be your girlfriend." One minute later she got notified that she was tagged on a picture. "Me and the girlfriend. First night of summer. #ctlyfe." It was her and J.T. from the other night. He already had 20 likes. Girls hating on her. And Cole commenting how his two best friends were hotties. This was going to be a ride. Was she ready though? Would this time be different? Or was J.T. just another Brayden Caldwell wearing a mask.
