Blades of Love 2
Chapter 4-
“Where the fuck could he be…” Stacey mumbled
“Oh, you know Ty. He probably lost track of time.” Sammie said as she ate another Cheeto
“He hasn’t texted me back. He always texts back.”
“Maybe his phone died. Trying calling that cute friend of his...you know...the Captain.”
“Uh...Jamie Benn?” Stacey laughed
“Yeah. The one that Tyler always giggles at on the ice.”
“That would be Jamie. I guess I could try him.” she grabbed her phone and clicked call beside Jamie’s name.
“Uh...hello?”
“Hey, Jamie! It’s Stacey...are you with Ty?”
“Uh...no. I um...I went home early. I wasn’t feeling well...he’s probably still out with Klinger and Rads. I’m sure he'll be home soon…”
“Do you know if his phone died? I can’t get a hold of him.”
“I had shit service there so maybe he just doesn’t have signal...but I um...I better go. Good night Stacey.” Jamie replied hanging up
“That was weird…” Stacey mumbled
“What was weird?”
“Well, I mean normally Jamie is a man of few words, but that was even fewer than normal…”
“What did he say?”
“That he went home early, but that Tyler stayed with Klinger and Rads...which is also weird...Tyler usually leaves when Jamie leaves.”
“I’m sure everything's okay...let’s just head to bed.”

It was nearing 6am. Tyler’s head was spinning as he gathered his clothes up off the ground. He’d really fucked up this time. Making out with a girl that was not his wife was one thing. Going home with her...that was another. He quickly threw his clothes on and fumbled around in the dark for his cell phone and keys. “Leaving so soon?” Hannah asked
“Hannah...listen...I’m married. This was a mistake…” Tyler sighed “I have to go.” he said rushing out the door “I didn’t drive...fuck. How am I going to get home…” he grabbed his phone and dialed Jamie’s number
“Hello…”
“Jamie...it’s me...can you come get me? I...I went home with that girl...I think I had sex with her…I just have to go home.”
“No, Seggy. I already lied to your wife. You find a way to fix this.”
“Jamie, seriously?” he sighed
“Yes, seriously! I get that you guys are having some struggles, but that doesn’t excuse you breaking your vows for a night of whatever the hell this is. You got yourself into this mess Tyler Paul Seguin. You get yourself out.” Jamie replied before he hung up
Tyler look at his phone in disbelief and took a deep breath as he dialed Stacey’s number. “Where the fuck are you??” she asked, her voice hoarse.
“Can you just come get me...we can talk when we get home.”
“I’ve been worried sick about you, Ty! I’ve been crying for the past hour…”
“I know. I’m sorry!”
Stacey sighed “Where are you?”
“Uh...I’m not sure...I’ll send you my location from my phone gps.”
“Okay Tyler.” Stacey sighed before hanging up
Tyler sat down on the curb and laid his head in his hands. What was he going to do? What was he going to tell Stacey? He was entirely lost in thought when Stacey pulled up in the red Lexus he’d gotten for her for her birthday the previous year. “Ty?” she called out the window. He got up and slid into the passenger seat. “What in the hell are you doing over here? And why didn’t you call me? And why didn’t you leave when Jamie left?! You always leave when Jamie leaves!”
“Can we please just talk at home?”
“No! Tell me what’s going on, Tyler?!” Stacey yelled, tears forming in her eyes
Tyler looked down “I...I cheated on you Stacey. I’m sorry. I know that won’t change what happened, but I...I don’t know what else to say. I fucked up big time I just...I should’ve left with Jamie. Everything was telling me to just go, but I didn’t...and I went home with this girl and…”
“You what?!” Stacey interrupted
“I met this girl at the bar. I let her kiss me and then I went home with her...that’s really all I remember. I’d been drinking a lot and…”
“Get out of the car.”
“What?”
“Get out of the car.” Stacey repeated, turning to face him as tears fell down her cheeks “How could you?”
“I...I don’t know. I’m sorry…” Tyler choked out
“Just get out, Tyler. You can fucking walk home.”
“Are you for real?”
“Yes, I am fucking for real!”
Tyler’s eyes scanned over her face before he stepped out of the car, “Stace, I…” but he didn’t have a chance to finish his sentence because she reached over and slammed the door before driving off. “Fucking great…” Tyler mumbled starting to walk in the direction of home. He dialed Jamie’s number again.
“Oh my god, Seggy, I said to fucking handle this yourself!”
“Stacey threw me out of the car and left me on the street somewhere. I don’t want to hear another lecture can you please just come and get me?! Please, Jamie?” he begged
Jamie sighed “Fine. Text me your location and I’ll be there when I can.”
“Thanks, Jamie.”
“You’re a fucking moron, you know?”
“Yeah, I know…” Tyler sighed, sitting back down on the curb.
