Gold Rush | Jack Hughes

30.

"Where you going after tonight?" Jordyn asks. "Edmonton, Jack's got game 2 for the finals tomorrow" I answer. "Hell yeah, can we go?" Emma asks. "Yeah of course, I actually got us a suite next to the edmonton wags" I answer.

They're not even slightly surprised. "Sweet" they all reply. "I'm hungry, you guys hungry?" I ask. They nod and we decide to go to the restaurant in the hotel. For about an hour we sit and eat and talk.

Jordyn looks at me as I'm dipping chicken strips in maple syrup. "What the hell?" She asks. "What? Its good" I reply. She shakes her head and eats her french fries. "Weirdo" she says. "Its like its honey leave me alone" I reply.

Once we're done eating we go back up to the room and before we know it I'm on stage infront of the crowd for night 3 in chicago. "Hey everyone" I say looking around the stadium.

They all cheer and I smile "how's everyone doing?" I ask. I listen to them all then smile "I'm doing great, here's lil devil!" I shout and start my set. Before I know it I'm doing my cover of 'follow your arrow' by kacey musgraves.

"Uh so every night I do a different cover and i thought tonight I'd mix it up and do a kacey musgraves song, here is follow your arrow!" I say before singing it. The crowd loves it and it's kind of a gay song and it's pride month.

Just a few hours later Taylor's singing 'hits different' on guitar. The crowd goes absolutely wild and I laugh taking a video of it and sing along loudly. "OH MY LOVE IS A LIE SHIT MY FRIENDS SAY TO GET ME BY IT HITS DIFFERENT" I shout sing along.

The next song she sings just hits me right in the heart. She sings 'the moment I knew' on piano. Even from the vip tent I can see the emotion on her face and hear it in her voice. She's still hurting from her breakup with joe. Matty was just a fling. Perhaps just a rebound.

When the shows done we wait for taylor and I hug her tightly "I'm by your side" I whisper. She smiles "thank you liv" she says. We talk for a few minutes before I'm off to the airport. Thankfully jordyn and emma packed everything earlier.

The flight is about 8 and a half hours, when it takes off it is about 2am. Which means we'll land at 8am Edmonton time if my math is right.

About half an hour in I fall asleep for a majority of the flight which is good I probably won't be tired for the game. About an hour until we land we have food and I eat so much of it but still feel slightly hungry so I eat more.

Once we've landed we go straight to the hotel where jack is staying but since he is at team breakfast we go to the suite the girls and I are staying in for the few days we're here. Games 3 and 4 are in new Jersey, I can attend 3 but for game 4 I'll be in Detroit.

If there is a game 5 it'll be in Edmonton and I'll be able to go thankfully. When I put my suitcase in the room I feel my phone buzz so I check it.

Jack

Done team breakfast

Where's my girl

Liv

Meet me in the lobby?

I put my phone back in my pocket and make sure I've got a room key before going down and meeting jack down in the lobby. "I know its just been a few days but I've missed you" he frowns.
