Somebody to Love

Going back to work with my brother in tow...with a camera was strange and I'd have him in Pittsburgh for the rest of the week andmost of the weekend.

"Ms. Leyton?" Mikey, a student in my class, asked.

"Yes?"

"Who's the man with the camera?"

"Oh, that's my brother Alex." I said with a laugh.

"Hi." my brother greeted.

The class responded with a huge hi.

"Why is he here?"

"He's making a video about me."

"That's so cool!"

"It is, isn't it?"

"So, we're gonna be in it too?" Melanie, another student, asked.

"Of course. We can't make the video without you guys. That would be silly."

"How long is he gonna be here?"

"This whole week. Then, he has to go back to school."

"Oh..."

Once lunch came, I was tired and needed a nap. I had no idea why I feeling this way, though.

"Are you okay, sis?" Alex asked concernedly.

"Yeah. I'm just tired is all. I must've not gotten enough sleep then."

"Honey, are you missing Marc like crazy? When he comes back, it'll be on the 17th." Maddy asked.

That's when I started to get teary. I nodded.

"Yeah." I said choking back a sob.

"Oh hun..." she said, consoling me.

"I'm ridiculous and a mess. I need to get over this."

"Bella, it's okay to feel this way. You've never experienced this before, so you've never had any idea how bad it would be."

Alex then made the decision to hug me.

"I love ya Bella."

"I love ya too Alex."'

The next couple days passed by fairly quickly. The boys had a loss on Monday to Minnesota and a win against Calgary on Wednesday. Tonight, they're playing Edmonton and having a tough time scoring; sure, it was only two to nothing, but my boys were beyond frustrated.

"Goddamnit!" I yelled, getting ready to throw something.

"Bella, put that down." Maddy said taking it out of my hand.

"Sorry. I just get so emotional sometimes." I said with a nervous laugh.

"I know."

"You are fucking crazy!" Alex exclaimed right before the third started.

"Thanks."

"That wasn't a compliment."

I shrugged.

The third was a different story entirely. Marc made some amazing saves, despite his broken finger, which I was afraid would have him sitting on the bench for a while, and Jordan assisted on all three goals that took to beat them. Once the game was over, Alex headed to bed, Maddy left and I headed to my bedroom to get ready for the night before calling my man.

"Hello?" he asked.

"Hey. Umm...I'm just going to ask this. How's your finger?"

"Broken. Sounds like I'm going to be out for a little while." he grumbled.

"Wish I could kiss and make it better."

"I would honestly love that right now. Plus, this jet lag is killing me."

"Only a few more days. If it makes you feel any better, I've been really tired lately."

"That doesn't really make me feel better. Why are you so tired?"

"This is gonna sound silly." I moaned.

"I'm sure it won't be."

"Alright then, here it is. I'm missing you worse than usual."

"Bella, that's not silly. I feel the same way. Do you hide it while you're being filmed in class?"

"Well, of course, I do. I have to anyway; I'm a teacher. I need to be happy or stern depending on the situation."

"That's good. I love you."

"I love you too."

"I'd really like to talk to you more, but I gotta go."

"Me too. See ya later!"

"See ya beautiful."

I hung up and let out a huge sigh. I really wish it was Saturday night already, not Thursday.

"So Bella, what do you have to say to all the kids out there?" my brother asked at the end of the video.

"You can do whatever you want to do. Never let anyone crush your dream and keep on working hard no matter how long it takes. Also, don't forget to have fun once in a while. You can't achieve your dreams without a little fun once in a while. I wish everyone the best of luck. I know all of you can do it!"

"And...cut! That was perfect. Doing this video on you was so fun! I'm gonna miss you though." he said turning off his camera and sitting it down.

"Oh, thanks. I'll miss you too. Come here." I said signaling him for a hug.

After hugging for a few moments, we parted before leaving the classroom and heading home for the day. I was thankful; it was an awfully long trip and all I wanted to do was to relax. Tomorrow, I'd be on my own; Alex is going to leave early in the morning and Maddy would be visiting a friend in her hometown.

"I hate this. I'm gonna be so fucking bored today." I said to him before he pulled out of my driveway.

"You'll be fine. Marc'll be back tonight, right?"

"Yeah, but the game is 10 PM Eastern Time and he'll be home really late. I may not see him till morning!" I complained.

"Time'll go fast. Well, I have to leave. I'll text you when I'm back, k?"

"K. Love ya."

"Love ya."

After he pulled away and I couldn't see him anymore, I headed inside and sat down on the couch, opening up my laptop. That's when I got a text.

Hey.

It was from Elina.

Hey hun. What's up?

Not much. Alex just texted me. You?

Sitting on my couch with my laptop. I'm sooo bored.

No one around?

No one at all. Maddy is out of town. Ally is busy and Alex literally just left.

When does Marc come back?

Oh...late tonight. The game is 10 PM on the East Coast, so it'll be really late. :( Argh...

That sucks. *hugs*

Thank you! *hugs back*

You're welcome! :)

We ended up talking for about an hour, actually speaking to each other, and from then on, my day went slow until the game, which was a nightmare. Marc and Johnny couldn't play, which left John Curry and Alexander Pechursky, who did not speak a word of English. After four straight goals from the Canucks, the new kid, was put in and only allowed one goal, but we couldn't come back and win from such a deficit.

"Oh boy." I mumbled before letting out a hug yawn.

It was 12:30 and I was ready to go to bed. I decided to just text Marc goodnight and headed to my bedroom. I imagined it was hours later when I felt his arms around me and his lips on my cheek. I smiled and kept on sleeping. I'd say around 11 the following morning, I heard him in the kitchen. I squealed and made my way to where he was. He was facing the sink, so I slowly approached him and wrapped my arms around on his neck. Marc immediately turned around and picked me up.

"Good morning." I said with a huge smile on my face.

"Good morning." he said before giving me one of the most passionate kisses he's ever given me.

"Oh, I missed you so much. You have no idea." I sobbed into his shoulder.

He rubbed my back.

"I missed you too. I'm back now and I won't leave you at all today."

"Ok. That sounds perfect. I love you."

"I love you too."
