My Life With the Pittsburgh Penguins (Max Talbot)

Again?

I woke up to someone tugging on my lips. My eyes immediately fluttered open only to see Max giving me a kiss. “Get off.” I said gruffly using both of my hands to push him away. “What’s wrong?” he asked amused. “Are you insane I haven’t even brushed my teeth yet you can’t kiss me!” I said walking towards my bathroom. “Sierra come on are you serious? I love you do you really think I care?” he asked smirking at how seriously I was taking this. “No but I care.” I said stressing the I. Stubborn I heard Max mutter under his breath. “Yea well you love me remember?” I said sweetly. Max only grunted while he waited for me to brush my teeth when I was done I walked up to him and gave him a quick kiss. Smiling he asked “Better?” Biting my lip I said “Much.” Just then my phone chose this moment to buzz. “Stupid thing!” I yelled at it. Max snorted and said “You do realize it’s an inanimate object right?” “Shutup.” I muttered flipping the phone open. “What?” I said into the phone sounding angry. “Well good morning to you too.” I heard Matt Cooke say into the phone. “Cookie!” I yelled out excited to hear from him. “Oh that’s better.” Matt joked into the phone. “Haha shush what did you call for?” I asked. “Heard Max was leaving so I was just wondering how my little princess was doing.” Matt replied pissing me off. “Cooke don’t you dare…” “I know, I know call you a little princess.” Matt finished for me. “I’ve heard you say that a thousand times Sierra and what have you done about me calling you it?” he asked smugly, when I didn’t reply he said “Exactly, nothing. Meaning you must secretly like me calling you that.” “Quite the contrary.” I said. “I’m not a princess I’ve never gotten everything I wanted and I’ve had to work for what I’ve got now. And the whole I must like you calling me that is bull but maybe if you came up with a nick name I actually liked we wouldn’t have this conversation every time we talk.” I finished. “Yea well I’ll think of one.” Matt said. “To answer your question though I’ve been better.” “I bet.” he said sounding distracted. “So what’s the real reason you called?” I asked. “Well it’s me and Michelle’s anniversary soon and we wanted to go out but we can’t find a babysitter so I was wondering if you’d like to watch them. Of course, we understand if you’re not up to it or have other plans I’m sure we can find someone else.” he said sounding guilty for asking. Sighing I said “Matt you wouldn’t of called me if you thought you could find someone else I’ll watch them but I might have to do some school work there too.” “Oh great thank you Lizzy. What college are you going to?” he asked. “Pitt and I’m guessing Lizzy’s me new nickname?” I asked chuckling. “Yea you’re middle names Elizabeth right?” he asked. “Yea.” “I take it that you like the name since you’re not yelling at me?” he asked chuckling this time. “Eh it’s ok a lot better than princess so I’ll let you call me that, but no one else.” I tacked on to the end. “Ok well I’ll call you with a time it should be next Saturday.” he finished. “Ok bye.” I said and clicked the end button. Great, I thought to myself, just what I needed to have to babysit three kids while being in college and away from Max. Not that I didn’t like Gabby, Reece, and Jackson they were great energetic little kids but I’m not going to have a lot of time to watch them. Oh well I thought to myself not much I could do I’m just glad Matt will be able to go out. Hopping off the bed I flung myself downstairs to see Max watching TV. “Hey sweetie whens the party?” I asked. “Starts at two I’m gonna have it at my place so once it’s done I can start to pack.” he said without looking at me. I just nodded feeling numb and cold inside. Giving a small sigh I went back upstairs to get ready for the day. It was already noon and Max probably needed to go out and get a few things. Taking a quick shower I chose a nice knee high purple dress with one strap and a flower at the waist to wear. Spinning around quickly I saw that it should do for the party. I then added a light shade of purple eye shadow and black eyeliner to my makeup and curled my hair. Walking towards my shoes I decided on black converses. Couldn’t get too dressed up could I? I asked myself while smirking. Grabbing my coat and purse I headed downstairs. “Ready?” I asked Max still a little numb. “Oh my god.” he said staring at me. “What?” I asked looking down at myself. “Sierra I swear you don’t know the affect you can have on me. Your about the only one I know who could pull of a dress with converses.” he said. “So it looks good?” I asked. “Good?” he scoffed “You look gorgeous baby.” I tried to suppress the smile that comment had made appear on my face but failed. “Thanks.” I said giving a little twirl. “Don’t do that at the party ok?” he said pointing his finger at me. “Why not?” I asked pouting a bit. “Just don’t.” he said. Irritated I raised my voice and asked again “Why not!?” “Because Sierra I don’t want anybody getting any ideas it’s not just guys from the team it’s their friends that I’ve never met and some that I have and don’t like.” he finished. “Well why can’t you tell them not to come?” I asked confused. “Told the guys they could bring friends that meant any friends I’m not gonna be rude and tell them they can’t come.” he said. “Well I’m still spinning if I want to besides no one’s gonna touch me and if they do I’ll just go get one of the guys or you.” I said taking his hand. Groaning he ran his hand through his hair and didn’t say anything else. I guess he knew I wasn’t changing my mind. Walking outside I was glad I brought my jacket. It wasn’t freezing today but there was still a little bit of snow on the ground and it was probably 45 degrees out not counting the slight breeze. We got in Max's car and my earlier prediction was right instead of heading towards his house we went to the store. “What do you need?” I asked a little reluctant to actually buy the stuff he needed to pack. Looking at my eyes he shook his head and said “You get the snacks and drinks I’ll get the rest.” Nodding I walked around the store aimlessly grabbing snacks, wine, pop, and beer. I met back up with Max at the checkout counter. Instead of looking at Max I zoned out and only registered the beeping of the lady scanning the stuff for purchase. Eventually, Max wrapped his hand in mine and grabbed the cart with the other. Refusing to know what was in the bag I just got into his car and waited until we were pulling out to say anything. “This party’s gonna be fun.” I said to break the silence. “Yea.” was all Max said. We got home and I started to set up the snacks and drinks while Max did his packing tasks. Once I finished I looked at the clock to see we only had a few more minutes till the party. Sighing I plopped back down onto the couch and only moved when the doorbell rang. Opening the door I saw Kris, Marc, Jordan, and Sid at the door with a few of their friends. “Hey Jordan.” I said actually smiling. “Ha hey Sierra I like the uh look.” he said raising his eyebrows looking down I saw I still had my jacket on. “Shutup!” I yelled while punching his shoulder. “Oh violent little one huh?” said one of Jordan’s friends. Glaring at him I knew immediately I didn’t like him. Rolling his eyes Jordan said “This is Andrew and Andrew this is Sierra.” “Hey.” he said obviously trying to flirt. Snorting I turned my attention back to Jordan and took off my jacket. “Better?” I asked throwing the jacket onto the coat hanger. “Oh that’s the Sierra I know.” Jordan said wrapping me in his arms for a hug. Giggling I said “Sure.” “Come on in guys.” I said stepping out of the doorway for them to enter. As Andrew walked by me he winked and said “I’ll see you later.” Ignoring him I gave Sid a hug as he walked by it seemed like I hadn’t seen him in a while or at least hadn’t talked to him much. “So Sierra where’s Max?” asked Marc. Choking down my sob I whispered “Packing.” “Oh.” Was all Marc answered with. “I’ll go get him.” I said bounding up the stairs. “Hey Max some of the guys are here I think you should go down there and see them. Nodding Max looked up at me and I saw he was crying. “Max what’s wrong?” I asked. “I don’t want to leave you.” he said. “I mean what if I lose you just looking at you in that dress shows how pretty you are and I know a hundred of guys that would kill just to have you and that’s without even knowing you. What if you go out and find someone better who’s here all the time at Pitt who loves you too?” he asked. Sighing I walked over to him and hugged him. “I’m not leaving you for anyone and even though I disagree with you about how many guys actually like me none of that matters because I’ve chose you no one else can take your spot.” I said rubbing my hand along his jawline. Nodding he kissed me gently and unlike last night it wasn’t needy it was sweet. Pulling away I laid my head on his chest and said “We should probably get to the party after all it is for you.” “Yea you’re right.” he said smiling down at me. “Come on then.” I said taking his hand and leading him down the stairs. I was at the bottom step when I saw how many more people had arrived they were all in the living room and kitchen talking loudly. Smirking Jordan went over to the stereo and turned it on. Music immediately began to blast through the room. I was pretty sure people would be able to hear it a mile away. Shouting I said “You're not gonna stay with me the whole night are you?” “Of course I am.” Max shouted back. Grinning I kissed his cheek and said “Drinks?” “Yea.” Max replied. “I’ll go get them you go talk to everyone.” I said not in the mood to talk pointless chit chat with people I either didn’t know or would see again soon. Instead of going to get the beer I waited until Max was talking with a couple of guys I’d never talked to before I went upstairs and sat on the spare bed. Shutting the door I sat on the bed already feeling my head pound against my skull. I’m pretty sure it was from the stress not the music though. Groaning I looked around the room to see someone was in the bathroom connected to the bedroom. Great I thought now I would have to talk to someone I really didn’t care to talk to. Unless I just walked out I said planning to do exactly that but as soon as my feet hit the floor Andrew came walking out of the bathroom with some chick hanging all over him. When he caught sight of me he pushed her away and said “Get out.” “But...” she began to protest. “Out!” he yelled loudly. Rolling my eyes I told her “He’s not worth your time anyways.” Chuckling she said “You’re right I’m sure there’s a lot better looking guys here than him.” I laughed and turned back to Andrew as I faintly heard the soft clicking of the door being shut behind the girl. “Told you I would see you again.” he said staring at me. “Mhm.” was all I said. “So Sierra you got a boyfriend?” he asked. “Yea, Max.” I said thinking he just wanted to talk. “Ah.” he said walking to the door and locking it. Shit I thought to myself this is so not a good position to be in. “What about you?” I asked trying to sound casual while trying to find an escape route. “Oh no haven’t found the one yet although I’m pretty sure she’s right in front of me.” he said walking towards me. “Don’t come near me.” I said backing away now slightly afraid of him. I was strong but there was no way I could take him down if need be he was at least three times bigger than me. Chuckling he walked closer and blocked the bathroom from my view. Well there goes my escape route. It was now either dash to the bedroom door and possibly making it or tackling Andrew and locking myself in the bathroom where no one would find me until after the party. Easily deciding what to do I jumped off the bed and was almost to the door when Andrew wrapped his arm around my waist. “Go ahead scream” he said “Not like anyone will hear over the music.” He was right if I screamed it would only piss him off and no one would ever be able to hear me even with my horror movie scream. I was now beginning to panic Andrew was on top of me rubbing his hands along my legs and pushing my dress up farther and farther. I tried kicking him but he easily caught each foot and said “You’re only making things worse.” Getting angry I said “Max will notice I’m gone and he won’t be happy when he sees you with me.” “That’s why you’ll say it was consensual what were about to do and if you don’t well then that won’t turn out very well for you or him.” he said pulling out a knife. “Doesn’t matter what I say he’ll still be pissed and beat your ass.” I spat out at him trying once again to kick, punch, or squirm my way free. “Stop!” he yelled pushing the knife against my throat. I immediately stopped and felt the knife prick my skin allowing a thin stream of blood to pour out. “Good girl.” he said taking off my dress leaving me in nothing but my underwear and bra “Now take this.” he said pushing a pill down my throat. I kept trying to gag it up but it was pointless. Crying I tried to beg “Please just let me go I won’t say anything I promise.” I said totally lying. “Almost sound convincing sweetie but I’m sure the drug will take over in a few seconds and then you’ll be knocked out.” he said. I knew he was right because I felt my eyelids start to droop and knew I could only do one thing. “MAX!!!!” I screamed. “MA!!” I got out before Andrew put his hand over my mouth. “Remember what I said?” he asked waving the knife around and putting it back to my neck. I could barely make out his face and before I knew it I was unable to move or talk. I could feel him take the rest of my clothing off even hear him compliment my body but I couldn’t do anything about it. I started to have flashbacks to when I was 17 and stupid. I had thought the guy was nice and before I knew it the guy had led me to a bedroom. Shut and locked the door and then tried to rape me. It hadn’t worked because they didn’t give me a pill they were also weaker and I fought my way out to my car and drove off calling 911. They had caught the guy but there was no evidence so he got away. The tears spilling out of my eyes drew me back to reality. Andrew was now in just his boxers and standing over me kissing my neck. Moving my eyes to the door I saw shadows of people walking out in the hall then heard the doorknob shake. Please be Max I said to myself. When no one answered the door the person who I realized was Max said “Open the door.” “Busy.” Andrew said sounding normal. “I don’t give a damn what you’re doing my girlfriend is nowhere to be found now you open this fucking door!!” Max screamed. When no one unlocked the door it took Max two seconds before the door was off its hinges and he’s was looking at what was happening. “Sierra?” Max asked stepping closer to me. I darted my eyes to the knife on the bedside table hoping he would notice and he did. Instead of being mad at me he tackled Andrew to the floor before he could even attempt to go for the knife. Still crying I tried to move but failed. After a minute of Max punching and kicking Andrew he finally knocked Andrew out and wrapped me in his arms. “Can you talk?” he asked looking at me. “Move?” he asked again when I didn’t answer. “Son of a bitch.” he said when I made no motion come on he said taking me to his bedroom. “I’ll be right back just gonna go call the police and tell everyone but the guys to leave.” he said. Max was back within two minutes and was comforting me by the time the police got there I could move and talk again. The first thing I did was put on one of Max’s shirts and basketball shorts that I tied tight around me. When I walked out of the bathroom I flung myself into Max’s arms and started crying. “Shh Si he’s not gonna hurt you I’m here.” he said running his fingers through my head. A knock on the door told us the police were here and I told them the whole story. After that I sat with Jordan, Max, Matt, Marc, Kris, Sid, and Geno watching movies. I had talked about it with Max and felt much better. “I love you guys.” I said to all of them. “Love you too.” they all said at once. After the movie the guys left and me and Max fell asleep cuddled up together on his bed. The next morning I woke up and saw nothing was in Max’s room except the bed I was laying on. Great, I thought, this is the day I’ve been dreading for days.
