Prove Me Wrong.

'Kieran's POV'

I should have seen this coming, after all nothing good can last forever. I should have never let my guard down, I let him in too fast and here I am broken yet again. I never would have thought that Jamie was just like the rest of them, his life is more important than mine. I am so stupid to think he was different, I let myself fall in love with a man who was just like Ryan. Only he hid it well, he hid it so well for 6 months. The perfect bubble we had been living in is now shattered, and I'm not sure if I am more heartbroken or pissed off. It's been 3 days since the initial blowup and I haven't spoken to Jamie since that night, the last words I spoke to him as I stormed out of Tyler's apartment were "Let me go." And in that moment I meant to let go of my wrist, but now I'm questioning if I want him to let me go forever.

*3 days ago*

April 15th that's the day I fly to San Diego to take my boards, and that day is just a little over 3 weeks away. At this point in time I am only working 2 days a week at the clinic, spending the rest of my time with my head in books and my mind on nothing but veterinary medicine. The key word is nothing, my focus is all on me right now and I could tell it was bothering Jamie. When the team won I didn’t want to go out, but I didn’t tell him he couldn’t, when he scored I celebrated with him but left him in bed after to study more. Sure I felt a little guilty for not focusing on him and our relationship but I needed to focus on my future too. This test decided the rest of my life, guys come and go, but my career is for forever.

Tonight the Stars were playing the Chicago Blackhawks for the last time this season, still looking to clench a playoffs spot. I didn’t plan to come to the game, even though I had promised to come to all the home games I had fizzled out only going to one a week or so. But Jamie begged, when he woke up this morning I was sitting up in bed already going through my flashcards throwing an arm over my waist he tried to take the cards. I pulled them away, "Stop, Jamie I'm studying." He huffed, and I could hear him mumble as he walked into the bathroom, "You're always studying." That should have been my warning that something was going to happen tonight.

I spent my day in my apartment wrapped up in a blanket my head in books until it was time to go to the arena, I tossed my iPad into my purse knowing I could get in a little review during the intermissions. Sitting in my usual seat I watched the guys warm up, I gave Jamie a smile as he skated by. Something about him seemed off, I tried to shrug it off as nothing but it bothered me as I watched the game bouncing my knee nervously as they battled the Blackhawks.

During the intermissions I studied, losing track of time I found myself still on my iPad as the 3rd period started. I was snapped back into the game as a body was slammed into the glass in front of me, Jamie's body. Yet another fight I thought as he got up, but to my dismay he shook his head and skated away from Carcillo. When the game ended with a fall to the Hawks I knew Jamie would be in a terrible mood, but I didn’t think it was going to be this bad.

I waited in the lounge with Jess, players coming in one by one. Tyler joined me and Jess and Jordie left the arena, "Where is he?" I asked Tyler, he scratched his head "He's doing media still, not a good mood either." Great, I thought as I chewed on the inside of my cheek. Minutes passed and Jamie still hadn't come in, moving into the hallway we continued to wait. Tyler checked his phone and I knew he was itching to leave, "You can go Ty, really." He shook his head, "I'm not leaving you Kier." And I was glad he didn’t for when Jamie came out of the locker room shit hit the fan. He took one look at me and rolled his eyes, scoffing as he approached.

"What are you still doing here?" he asked and I was stunned. "Excuse me?" I responded already annoyed. "Don't act like this isn't a waist of your time Kieran, you can't even focus on me for an hour without studying. I saw you." I pursed my lips tightly to keep the words in and closed my eyes, but Jamie wasn’t finished. "It's all about you these days isn't it Kieran? All I want is for you to be here support me and you can't even do that fully." I opened my eyes looking to Tyler as he stared blankly at his friend, shocked at the words he was saying. Looking back to Jamie I threw my hands up, "Wow," I breathed, "I'm not doing this again." I pushed my way past the men and started to walk away before he called out to me, "Where are you going, we're not done with this?" I turned and walked backwards, "I am going home, to focus on myself. You know I guess that's all I'm good at these days. When you're done being an ass Jamie, let me know."

'Tyler's POV'

I have no clue what the fuck just happened. Did they just break up? And did I just watch Jamie do the one thing he promised her he wouldn’t do? He had just turned into her ex in the last 5 minutes, and to Kieran that was the worst thing he could possibly do to her. As she walked away Jamie froze, not expecting her to leave like that but I knew Kier and she wasn’t one to take anyone's shit. I scratched my face not sure what to say, Jamie started to speak but I honestly didn’t want to hear it.

I cut him off, "Don't, dude I'm not doing this she's my best friend and you promised her that you wouldn’t do this. I'm not going to be in the middle but, that was a load of shit that you just threw at her and you know it." He leaned against the wall, "Fuck," he groaned placing his head in his hands, "What do I do? She hates me now, I just threw the best girl I've ever had away." Grabbing my bag from the floor I gave his shoulder a solemn squeeze, "She said let her know when you're done being an ass Jamie, but I don’t think you’re done yet. Give her tonight at least." He nodded and I walked away, I had a pretty good idea where Kieran was and it wasn’t at her own apartment.

I was anticipating the door to my apartment to be unlocked, and to find a red head on my couch but both of those assumptions were wrong. After changing out of my suit I texted Kieran, if she didn’t want to talk about it we could at least drink about it.

*You wanna talk about it?*
*Nope, I'm beyond talking.*
*You wanna drink about it?*
*Already ahead of you Segs..*
*Come join me, I'm watching your movie :D*
*On my way, but I'm not sharing.*

Not 5 minutes later the door opened and closed and in came Kieran, clad in dorky pajamas as usual with a bottle of red wine and a Solo cup in her hands. "You're being very classy tonight Kier," I said pointing out her fine drinking receptacle, she took a sip and sat on the couch. "Well I'm about to get really drunk so glass wouldn’t be good idea." I started Grown Ups and propped my feet up on the ottoman, "Touché," I said clinking my beer bottle with her plastic cup, "Let's get drunk and forget about this shitty night."

6 beers later and the rest of Kieran's bottle we had finished Grown Ups and Bridesmaids both of us laughing like fools. I was in the kitchen grabbing waters to ward off hangovers when I heard knocking from out in the hallway.

Through the peephole I could see that it was Jamie, pounding on Kieran's wooden door. He obviously wasn’t taking my advice, or had tried and failed as it was nearing 3 am. I let him be and joined Kieran on the couch, "He's out there isn't he?" she asked holding the cold bottle to her forehead. I nodded and she closed her eyes I could tell she was fighting tears, "You can cry Kier, it's okay." She shook her head, "That's the thing though Ty, it's not okay. He promised,"
She was just getting to let it out when the door flew open, I really needed to start locking that thing.

"Ty, dude please give me your key to Kier-" Jamie stopped when he saw that she was here. "Baby, please-" he started and Kieran stood off the couch walking away from me and towards Jamie. When she neared him he grabbed her wrist, "Let me explain," he pleaded and Kieran tried to pull away, "No, not tonight." She tugged again but Jamie held on, his eyes begging her but Kieran's face reddened with anger, "Let. Me.Go." she practically seethed through her teeth and Jamie's grasp fell from her wrist. Pushing past him she was out the door, leaving him hanging for the second time that night.

'Kieran's POV'

So now here I sit in my bed, books surrounding me with no desire to focus on anything medically related. My only thoughts are to what I want from Jamie, or even if I still want Jamie. I've got one more day before they return from their roadtrip in Canada, and we've decided to talk face to face when he gets back. It's now or never to make my decision, do I let him try again to prove me wrong? Or do I say goodbye and start the rebuilding process over again?
