* Sophie's POV *
I got up at 6:30 and took a shower before braiding my hair, doing my make up, and getting dressed in leggings, a Blackhawks hoodie, and black uggs.
I woke Jon and my friends up before going and make scrambled eggs and waffles for everyone.
We all ate together and then we left for the hospital to see Pat before surgery.
We arrived at the hospital at 7:45 and Pat's surgery was schedule for 45 minutes from now.
We all stayed with him for 15 minutes before he was taken back to get prepped for surgery and only one person could go back so of course Avery went back.
The rest of us left for practice that was in 30 minutes. We got there 15 minutes early so I got all of my pre-practice stuff done really early.
Practice ended at 11:30 and we all went out to lunch at Red Robin before going back to the hospital and seeing Pat after surgery.
We stayed with Pat for 30 minutes before he told us to go out with the girls and show them the city.
We went to Sears Tower and looked out over the bustling city before we went to the aquarium followed by Millennium Park.
After we visited the Bean we went back to Jon and I's house to get ready to go out for a nice dinner since my friends were leaving in the morning.
When I got back to my house I went to my room and added a little bit of make up to my face before doing my hair and a elegant bun with two dangles on the side of my face. I then pulled on my dress that was white lace long sleeves at the top and had a red shirt skirt and some white heels.
I was ready to go and I walked downstairs and found that Jon was the only other one ready.
He didn't hear me come down the stairs so I snuck up behind him and wrapped my arms around his neck.
Hey babe, I said in his ear.
Hey, how is my favorite girl doing? He asked me.
Just fine, now I'm gonna go check on the other girls, I said before I walked back to the stairs and went up to the guest rooms.
I found the girls doing finishing touches on hair and make up and I went around and helped a little bit before they were all ready to go and we went downstairs and rounded Jon up.
We drove to Alinea and we were seated immediately. Our drinks were brought over and our food orders were taken before we talked about when we would see the girls again.
Well Paige's wedding is coming up in like 3 weeks so we'll be in town, I said.
Man I can't believe your sister and Skylar are finally getting married after being together for so long, Mikayla said.
I know it's kinda hard to believe, I said.
Our food was brought out and we were mostly quiet while we ate.
I had just finished eating my meal when my phone rang and I excused myself to go answer it.
Hello? I asked into the phone since I hadn't recognized the number that was calling.
Hey babe, did you miss me? It sure is nice to hear your beautiful voice again, a voice I instantly recognized said.
Jett? I asked shocked into the phone.
Oh you remember me even with your big famous boyfriend, he replied.
How did you get my number? I asked him.
I won't reveal my secrets, he said menacingly into the phone.
At this point I was to shocked by the fact that he got my phone number and was out of jail for me to hang up so I ended up listened to his taunting creepy voice.
I know where you are right now with your boyfriend and your friends, I'm coming after you and we're gonna get things back to normal, he said.
Things will never be normal Jett, I said.
Oh but they will be and I'll make sure of it, now if you tell anyone about this phone call I will come after you boy toy, he said before the line went dead.
I pulled my phone away from my ear and tried to get my bearings back before I walked back into the restaurant.
Babe, are you all right? Jon asked me when I walked back into the restaurant.
Yeah I'm fine, I said and put on my best fake smile.
Jon and my friends all had a doubtful look on their faces but just ignored it for the moment.
I did t talk very much the rest of dinner or on the way home.
We got home and I help the girls pack up their stuff laughing with them a couple times but I knew I wasn't fooling them, they had known me for to long to know something wasn't right.
Ok so we're all packed up, do you mind telling us what's going on? Kenzie asked me.
I'm fine you guys, it's nothing.
Come on Soph, you know you can't lie to us, Jessi said.
Guys, I can't tell, I would if I wasn't so afraid to I promise but don't worry about anything everything is fine, I said.
Soph, we won't tell anyone, we promise, they all said.
I can't, I'm sorry guys, I said. Anyway can we get back to having some fun? I asked.
We went downstairs and watched a movie before we all went to bed since they had an early flight tomorrow and we had a morning skate followed by a trip to Montreal.
I crawled into bed next to Jon and he just looked into my eyes knowing something wasn't right but also knowing not to ask about it.
I ended up not sleeping very much due to the fear of Jett now engulfing me.
I did end up falling asleep but it was only for about 3 hours before I was woken up by my alarm going off at 5:30.
I got up, took a shower, out my hair in a bun, did my make up, and got dressed in leggings, a Toews Tshirt, and black uggs before waking Jon and all of the girls up and going to make breakfast.
I ended up just making eggs and toast with jelly for everyone before we grabbed all of the stuff we needed and headed out the door.
We went to the airport first and dropped all of the girls off saying we would see them in a couple weeks before we drove to the UC, had a short practice, and then we loaded everything up and headed out to the airport again.
We landed in Montreal at about 2 o'clock and all of the staff went to the arena while the players went to the hotel.
We set the locker room up for tomorrow morning and then headed out for the hotel ourselves.
I was going up to my hotel room when I got a text from the same number Jett called me on the day before.
Don't think that just because you're away I'm not watching you, I always have eyes on you.
I hit Jon's floor on the elevator and as soon as I hit his floor I walked as quick as possible towards Jon and Pat's room.
I knocked on the door and soon after Jon opened the door surprised to see me.
Hey babe, are you all right? He asked immediately getting concerned at the look of terror in my eyes.
Yeah I'm fine, but could I crash here tonight? I asked him.
Of course, he said letting me in.
We went to bed early today and I still didn't get much sleep freaking out about what Jett had said.
The alarm went off at 6:30 and I did my normal routine before heading down to the lobby with Jon and Pat.
We loaded on a bus to the arena and we had a very productive practice before the players went back to the hotel and I set to work on the jerseys and the skates.
We finished all of our work about an hour before like usual and I did my workout before going in and sitting down in Jon's locker and getting a drink.
I was getting a drink when another text message came through on my phone and I opened it without reading who it was from.
Looks like you had a nice little workout so you could stay in shape for volleyball season. Hope the game goes well tonight, I'll talk to you later. - Jett
I turned my phone off and just sat in Jon's cubby starting off into space so much that I didn't even noticed the staff members coming through looking at me funnily and continuing on their way.
Jon was the first one to arrive back at the arena and when he saw me sitting in his locker just starting off into space, he immediately came over to me.
Soph, what is going on? He asked me.
Oh nothing, I said and smiled at him.
I knew I hadn't convinced him but I got up so he could get ready for the game and walked over to the door.
They went out for warm ups and I quickly hung all of the game jerseys up before going out to the bench and watching the rest of warm ups.
The first period started and ended, very uneventfully. The second period was better for both teams unfortunately since we both scored one goal. The third period was also very uneventful so we went on to overtime, then to double overtime, and then to a shootout where unfortunately we lost.
We packed up the locker room and loaded it all onto the plane before Jon requested that I sit next to him on the way home.
I was walking into the plane when I got another text message from Jett.
Oh no, they lost. See you back in Chicago. - Jett
I walked back to where Jon was sitting with Sharpie and Kaner.
Hey babe, Jon said when I sat down next to him.
Hi, I replied quietly.
Jon came a little closer to me and started talking to me in a really quite voice.
What's been going on with you lately? And don't tell me you're ok because I know you aren't, he said.
Well remember when I got that phone call on the last night my friends were here? I asked him.
Yes, you excused yourself and then came back looking slightly terrified.
Well that call was from Jett, my ex-boyfriend from 4 years ago.
What did he want?
Well he got back into his old habits real quick, I said not really wanting to tell him the whole story.
And what habits were those?
I think it will just be easier to tell you the whole story, I said to him.
He nodded his head saying that I should go on, so I did.
Jett and I started dating my Sophomore year of high school, things were going great up until we had been dating for 2 and a half years. I noticed his mood had started to change and knew it probably wasn't a good thing, he started abusing me with words and physically. Everyday after school, he would drag me out to his truck and would verbally assault me. For awhile it was just word abuse but after a while, he started to hit me while he was yelling at me. It was early May when one day he took me out to his truck and the words came followed shortly by him hitting me, but I guess the words and the slapping wasn't enough that day because he pulled out a pocketknife and cut my shirt open before making cuts all the way along the bottom of my bra on my back, he decided he had had enough so he let me out of the car and then drove away. I had wanted to tell someone about him abusing me but never had proof until that day, but I didn't realize it until I walked back into the school. The cuts had hurt me a lot and I was crying very hard and I couldn't see the cuts so I went back into school and into the nurses office. The nurse was sitting at her desk when I walked in and when she turned around and saw me she immediately rushed over trying to calm me down before asking me why I came to the nurses office. I turned around and immediately heard her gasp.
Sophie, what happened? She asked me.
Someone cut me, I replied.
She had me lay down on my stomach and she put some antibacterial in the cuts before she rushed off and got the principal.
When my principal walked into the room he gasped and went and got the assistant principal who also gasped when he came into the room.
Sophie, who did this to you? My principal Mr. Haydock asked.
I can't tell, he'll come after me, I said starting to shake with fear.
They tried to get me to answer a few other questions but I didn't answer any of them.
They called the police in along with some paramedics so they could stitch up the cuts. My mom and dad were also called and arrived shortly after the police did.
Hello Miss Adams, I'm officer Neal, can you tell me who did this? A man said.
I shook my head no and he asked me why I said no.
He'll come after me if I tell anyone and I don't have any evidence against his abuse to turn him in safely.
Sophie, these cuts are enough evidence to send whoever this is to prison on threat and abuse charges.
They talked to me about how it was safe to turn whoever this person was in, so I told them.
It was Jett Henderson, I said before I started shaking uncontrollably and one of the police officers came over to comfort me.
So Jett was sentenced to 2 years for criminal harassment and 2 years for domestic violence. Now he's out and he's threatening me again through text and watching me all the time somehow, I said to Jon after I finished my story.
Oh baby, I'm so sorry, we'll go to the police station tomorrow, he said while putting his muscular arms around me.
He asked me to see the texts so I showed them to him and then we started a conversation with Kaner and Sharpie.
We got back to Chicago at midnight before the crew members unloaded everything and put it in the locker room, calling it a night after that.
Jon and I got home at 1 in the morning and we immediately crawled into bed.
