The Other Letang

Broken

Elise's POV

Who just happened to be... Sid.

He walked up to me "Ready to go?" I nodded "Yeah sorry to make you leave."

He shook his head "No it's fine I don't even want to drink tonight."

I nodded "Thanks Sid!" He nodded "Of course I'll give you a ride to your house whenever."

I shook my head "That's not what I meant by thanks." He glanced at me as he opened the car door for me "What do mean than?"

I smiled "I mean thanks for always having my back. You never judged me when I was diagnosed and throwing up blood. When most people would look at me in discussed you would help me. I could never repay you for that."

He smiled "Your welcome, Thank you for always being friends with me because of who I am. Not for me being Sidney Crosby the Penguins Captain or Canada's Golden Boy."

I smiled "I wouldn't have it any other way." He nodded "Me either."

He glanced at me quick "Do you want me to stay for the night? I mean I don't feel comfortable leaving you alone."

I nodded "Sure, I have a set of your cloths at my house that you usually leave there for when we have team sleepovers."

He nodded "Okay." Then realization hit me "Sid we have practice tomorrow morning! Wouldn't it look weird for us  to show up together after leaving early from clubbing?"

He nodded "It might, but we are taking separate cars so it won't look to bad. Anyways I think Mike will understand."

I nodded "Okay." He rubbed that back of his neck.

My eyes flickered to him "Are you nervous?" He shook his head "No, why would I be nervous?"

I laughed "You're the worst liar! Anyways you rubbed that back of your neck! You only do that when you're nervous! So why are you nervous?"

He shrugged "I don't know." I shook my head and didn't push him to tell me.

Sid's POV

Thank god she didn't make me tell her! The real reason why I was nervous is because I still love her.

Over the years my feelings for her never changed they only grew. She was beautiful and the life she was given she didn't deserve.

Her life was full of pain and suffering. I don't know how she does it. To be fully honest with you if I was her I couldn't have done it. I would have given up.

She was selfless and kind to others. In return she got pain. She loved to make other people laugh because she didn't want them to cry like she does.

She told me she cries before bed almost every night. She told me she lied on the test the doctor gave her because she knows she will he diagnosed with depression. She is just to afraid to hear it.

The nicest people you'll ever meet in life are the broken ones. Because the broken ones don't want you to go through what they did.

I was snapped out of my thoughts when Elise started yelling "You bastard! Your lights red! Ours is green! What the hell are you doing!"

I laughed "Elise they can't hear you the windows are up."

She grumbled "We could have gotten in an accident! Gee! He has to be color blind! You know he shouldn't be driving if he's color blind. Well I guess you can still tell---"

I cut her off "Elise it's alright I know what you mean."

She nodded "Huh! Only like a few minutes to go and we will be at my place!"
