๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ paced around Luke's room,
"So you think you've got a stalker?" Luke asked as he cocked his head,
"I don't know what it is," Lillian nodded as she let out a sigh,
"But it's creepy," she added as she couldn't shake the vibe she got from the unknown messenger.
"Who do you think it could be?" The brunette threw his miniature ball into the air,
"I don't know," the blonde shrugged,
She knew she was a lot to handle but she swore that nobody hated her to that extent.
"I need to tell E," she added as she ran her fingers through her hair,
"What kept you from going to him instead?" The hockey player asked as the girls boyfriend was only rooms away from her,
"I don't want him to worry about it," the soccer player knew that he had a game later on and it would psych him out if he learnt about it.
"You'll be fine," Luke placed a comforting hand on her back,
"I know," Lillian nodded as she knew that he was right,
"I'm just worried," she added hoping that it made sense,
"Who the hell has been keeping tabs on us?" The girl asked as she lay back on his bed.
โโโฆโโ
The boys were on the ice in the middle of the second period when Ethan finally had enough,
"You know who that girl is?" Matt Cassidy the #20 from Ohio asked as he cocked his head,
"Who?" Ethan looked up at the older boy,
"Hughes' girl," the forward motioned to Lillian as she was laughing at something that one of the kids in front of them said,
"What about her?" The defender asked as he didn't know where he was going with that he was saying,
"You think she's gonna be good in bed?" Matt completely took the boy by surprise,
"When I beat you," he added as he smirked,
"Shut up," the Canadian mumbled as he was tired of hearing about it,
"You're a good dude for defending your bros gir-" the American noted as he nodded to himself,
"Let's play boys!" The referee blew his whistle cutting the Ohio State player off.
Ethan didn't even wait to see where the puck was as he went straight to Cassidy shoving him into the barrier watching as the boys helmet was the only thing between him and the ice.
"She's off the market dickhead," Ethan spat as he looked at the taller boy who was on the ground,
"To the box Edwards!" The referee warned as he took the Canadian by the back of his shirt,
Even as he was skating away he still managed to find Lillian stood amongst the crowd as she sent him a look of concern as she had never seen him lash out at another player like that.
"You okay?" Was all she could mouth as she watched a now defeated Ethan skate to the end of the ice and as angry as he was he couldn't help but nod as he knew it would calm her down,
Somehow he was more worried about her off of the ice than himself on it.
โโโฆโโ
Lillian stood at the door to the home locker room as she waited for Ethan to come out,
"Hey princess," Matt smiled as he walked up to the girl,
"Can I help you?" Lillian was quick to furrow her eyebrows as she looked up from her phone,
"Was wondering if you wanted to come get a drink," the brunette explained as he openly flirted with her,
"Hard pass," the blonde shook her head as she scrunched her face up in disgust,
"I can show a girl a good time," the hockey player offered as he smirked,
"Not this girl," the soccer player rolled her eyes,
"I'm waiting for my boyfriend," the girl explained in a duh tone hoping that it would cause him to leave,
"I can show you what you're missing out on," Matt wasn't going to give up without a fight,
"I think she said no," Mark was quick to jump in as he saw the girl,
"You seem to be busy with this hockey team," the Ohio State player muttered causing the UMich boy to wrap his arm around her shoulder,
"Dude you've already been hurt by one of the guys on my team, don't make it two." Mark warned as he surprisingly wasn't scared of the man who towered over them,
"Is that a threat?" Matt shot back as he cocked his head,
"Dude just fuck off really," Lillian groaned as she rolled her eyes,
"You aren't my type anyways," she added as she shook her head,
In her opinion he looked like the Walmart equivalent of Mat Barzal.
"Where is Ethan?" The girl turned her attention to Mark as the rival player made his way back to his own locker room,
"He went back to the house with Mackie," Mark explained as he had seen the duo leave earlier,
They left out of a different door.
"Fuck," the blonde threw her head back as she let out a groan,
"What's up?" The hockey player was quick to ask,
"I wanted to talk to him," the soccer player mumbled as she realised that she had to go and find him.
โโโฆโโ
Ethan hid in his room as he no longer wanted to be seen at all. He knew that it was stupid that he got into a fight but the comments that the boy made were apart of the constant reminder that whilst Lillian was his, she wasn't his to show off. He missed how she used to tackle him into this bone crushing hug as she would tell him how proud she was of his performance, all whilst wearing his jersey. Each game they had he felt the fact that she was still not wearing his jersey slowly chip away at him.
"Where is he?" Lillian asked as she walked into the house praying that she was right a about him being there,
"His room," Mackie pointed upstairs as the girl nodded quickly making her way to his room,
"Go away," Ethan groaned as he heard a knock on the door,
"Let me in," Lillian shot back as she stood on the other side of the locked door,
"Not tonight Lillian," the brunette shook his head as he didn't want to see her,
She was always disappointed when he got into fights.
"So help me god Ethan if you do not open this door I will break it down," the blonde warned as she was ready to try react the scenes that she had seen in old police shows of them breaking the door.
"What?" The hockey player asked as he opened his door,
"What the hell were you doing out there tonight?" The soccer player sent him a glare as she pushed past him making sure that he couldn't change his mind about her being in there.
"Don't worry about it," Ethan shook his head as he shut the door,
"Ethan that's not fair," Lillian crossed her arms as she let out a sigh,
"We agreed to talk," she added reminding him of what happened the last time he shut her out,
"And I said don't worry about it," the brunette repeated his original answer,
"What did that guy do to piss you off so much?" The blonde decided to ignore him pushing for an answer instead,
"He was talking about you," the hockey player mumbled as he looked at the ground,
"Huh?" The soccer player furrowed her eyebrows as she couldn't hear him,
"He was fucking talking about you!" Ethan yelled as he walked closer to the girl,
"E," Lillian's facial expressions were quick to soften,
"He was saying that when he won he was gonna see if he could get you," the brunette explained as he moved his arms around,
"Because you could do better than Luke," he rambled on having the last part hurt more than the first.
"Luke?" The blonde cocked her head as she grew confused,
"Your jersey," the hockey player motioned to the fact that she was still in Luke's jersey,
"Oh," the soccer players face dropped as she sighed,
"Ethan," she reached out to grab his hand,
"It's stupid," Ethan shook his head as he moved away from her,
"It's actually really sweet," Lillian smiled as she sat next to him in his bed,
"You think it's cute that he spoke about you like that," the brunette grew annoyed by her statement,
"No, he was an asshole." The blonde was quick to shake her head,
"It's the fact that you stood up for me," she added as she kissed his cheek,
"Even though he clearly never stood a chance," the girl added as she pulled away from him,
"You don't even find him remotely attractive," the hockey player pointed out,
"No!" The soccer player laughed as she shook her head,
"He tried to push his luck with me," she added as she shook off the thought,
"He did what?" Ethan was about to get up all irritated again,
"Not important," Lillian placed her hand on his knee stopping him,
"Besides why would I care about him when the guy I love is literally right in front of me," she added as she placed her hand on his jaw forcing him to look at her,
Ethan watched as her eyes looked right back at his,
There was something weirdly attractive about how she looked at him in such a way that made him feel like he was the only person in the world,
Little did he know that he was one of the only people in this world who truly mattered to her.
"You love me?" The brunette asked as he messed with her bracelet,
"Of course," the blonde nodded as she thought that it should have been obvious,
"Say it again," the hockey player reached out and tucked the loose strand of hair that sat over her face now behind her ear,
"I love you Ethan," the soccer player repeated before she leaned in to kiss his lips taking a moment to softly suck on his lower lip causing her to smile,
"Now can we please go downstairs before your teammates think that you've killed me," she added as she let out a laugh,
"Yeah," Ethan nodded as he matched her amusement as he placed his hand on her leg,
"Your hand," Lillian gasped as she saw how his knuckles were bruised,
"Oh shit," the brunette mumbled as he realised that he had actually left a mark,
"My protector," the blonde whispered as she kissed his hand right where the bruise was forming.
"Okay totally worth it," the hockey player smiled as he watched the girl roll her eyes,
"Ow!" He added as she reached her other hand up to flick his forehead.
"What was that for?" The boy asked as he cocked his head,
"Because that was really stupid of you," the soccer player mumbled as she shook her head,
"You guys okay?" Luke asked as he knocked on the door,
"Yeah, we just gotta get someone some ice for his hand," Lillian nodded as she opened the door with a smile,
"Is it my turn to be nursed by you?" Ethan teased as he sent the girl a grin,
"Shut up before I change my mind," the blonde mumbled as the boys followed her downstairs,
For now telling Ethan about the weird text was going to have to wait.
โโโฆโโ
