Captain to My Heart~Sidney Crosby~
Chapter 4
I just watched the first game of the eastern conference finals. I couldn't believe it. The Bruins beat the Penguins 3-0. Sid and Chara were chirping each other and pushing. I was so surprised by Sid's behaviour. Malkin fought and wow... He obviously won that fight! So much was going on. Now I know that the Bruins are going to be our hardest competition so far. I just wish I could play... I want to be there so bad but my ankle just had to get broken at this time of year. The doorbell rang. I grabbed my crutches and got up. I hobbled over to the door and opened it. There stood Sidney Crosby.
"Um, hi Sid,"I said. He said,"Uh, hi Ella." "What are you doing here?"I asked. Sid shrugged and said,"I needed someone to talk to." I smiled and said,"Well, you've come to the right place. Come on in." I moved to the side while Sid entered. I shut the door and hobbled over to the couch. I stumbled a bit. "Woah there. Be careful,"Sid said. I laughed and said,"I'm just not used to it yet." I sat down. "So, what's up?"I asked. Sid sighed and said,"We need you on the team so badly. In every game, you got a point on every goal. How can we play without you?"
I said,"Play how you did before me. Play like the game who won like 17 in a row in the regular season. Be that team." "We tried Ella. We tried. It's just not working. You saw what happened,"Sid said. He pointed to the TV that was showing highlights of the game. I sighed and said,"I'm sorry Sid. I can't do shit with this ankle of mine." He let out a little chuckle and said,"I know. Whatever." "Want some food?"I asked with a grin. Sid laughed and said,"You know me so well." "It was a guess,"I said with a wink. I hobbled into the kitchen.
Sid followed me. "Okay, so I have pizza,"I said, noticing the box on the counter. "Yay!"he said. I laughed and took out two plates. We sat at the table and ate. "Shit!"Sid said. "What?"I asked. He said,"I'm sorry. I have to go. Thanks for the pizza." "Where are you going?"I asked. "It's important. I'm sorry,"Sid said. I said,"It's okay." "Thanks for understanding,"he said. I nodded. "Bye,"I said. "Bye,"he replied. He hurried out the door. I sat down and stared at the table. I saw his phone. He left it here. What do I do about it?! I hesitantly picked it up.
Pass code. It's the number kind. That's easy... I tried in a few pass codes. I disabled it for a minute. Then 5 minutes. Oops! Then I tried 0807. It worked. Aha! It's his birthday. Gosh... He's so obsessed with it. I looked through his phone and laughed as I added myself as a contact. I named myself: Ella's better than you:) And I sent myself a message from his phone. I bit my lip and looked through the contacts. Hmm... Who should I call? I called Kris Letang. "Hello?"he answered. I said,"Hey Kris. It's me, Ella. Sid left his phone at my house. Do you by any chance know where he is?"
"No, sorry. I haven't seen Sid since after the game. He left right away and so yeah. I don't know where he is. Sorry,"Kris said. I said,"It's alright. Do you know how I can get his phone back to him?" He said,"I can come over to your house and get it. I'll give it to Sid for you." I said,"Okay, thanks." I gave him my address. He said,"Alright. I'll be there in 5 minutes." "Okay, bye,"I said. "Bye,"he replied. I hung up and hobbled over to the couch with Sid's phone. A few minutes later, someone rang the doorbell. It was Kris.
I said,"Hi." "Hey. How's your ankle?"he asked. I let out a laugh and said,"Feels like crap." Kris chuckled and said,"That's... Nice?" I smiled and said,"Yeah. Anyways, here's Sid's phone." I handed it to him. "Okay. I'll give it to him,"he said. I nodded. Kris left. I shut the door and sat down. I got a phone call from Dan Bylsma the next morning. "Hi,"I said.
He said,"Hello Ella. I need your help. Can you come to the arena today?" I said,"Sure, but why?" Coach said,"The boys need a motivation. They can't play like they did with you." I said,"I'd love to... But I don't have a ride."
Coach said,"I'll bring you." I said,"Alright then. No problem. I'll be there." "I'll come at 3pm,"Coach said. I replied,"Alright. See you then." "Bye,"he said. I hung up and looked at the clock. It was 2pm. I might as well get ready now. I changed into a pair of jeans and my jersey. My hair was curly, so I just left it down. I put on some lip gloss and then I was ready. I waited until Coach came. We went over to the arena. I smiled. "I missed this place,"I whispered. We entered the building and headed towards the locker room.
"Um, hi Sid,"I said. He said,"Uh, hi Ella." "What are you doing here?"I asked. Sid shrugged and said,"I needed someone to talk to." I smiled and said,"Well, you've come to the right place.
