9- Found you

I threw Alex off of me, and ran out of the room. Val went running off, and I didn't know in which direction. I tried very hard to run in my 6 inch heels, but they weren't helping me one bit. How could I let myself become a victim of him once again? How could I let him feel me up like he did? He had that stupid grip over me, and until now, I wasn't able to over come it. When I saw the look on Val's face, it gave me the strength to push him off of me.

I ran into locker room, hopefully someone had seen him.
"Whoa! Rebekah, wow, look at you" Chris said as I walked in looking around, not even acknowledging he spoke to me.
"Have you seen Val" I said breathless.
"Yeah, he grabbed his stuff and left"
"Which way did he go" I said turning to him.
"I don't know.." He said as I walked out.

I saw Hannah and Jon, talking to Hank and Emma.

"Jon, Have you seen Val"
"Yeah, he went storming out of here, I thought you guys were suppose to go out"
"We were, but something happened, I just have to find him"
"What happened" Emma asked with her Swedish accent.
"Just something from my past came and reared his ugly head, I just have to find him to explain everything, before he hates me"
"I saw him in parking lot about 5 minutes ago" Helmer said as he passed.
"Thanks" I said running back to get my coat, and purse.

I wasn't going to let this guy out of my life this easy. I was putting up a fight. He was the only guy Ive ever cared about this much. And I wasn't going to let Alex stupidity get in the way.

Val's POV

I couldn't believe she lied to me, say they were just friends. By the looks of it, they
weren't just friends. By the looks of it, he was about have his way with her. But Rebekah seemed to always bash him, whenever we would watch Capitals games. I'm not going to lie, I was hurt. I loved this girl with all my heart, only for her to stomp on it. Did she not think I wouldn't catch her? Did she think she could get away with it? Well I'm glad i found out she was like this before I got to involved. What am I talking about, we were practically married. with out the ring, and me asking. I even had this beautiful set up at this gazebo, just out side Detroit. With lights, and Heaters. It was like something out of a movie. I had spent a whole month planning this, making deals with people, including Mr. Ilitch. Now it was just money down the drain.

As I walked into my house, I threw my bag and coat on the coach and made my way to the fridge for a beer. I needed one deeply. As I opened the fridge I saw a picture of her and I at the Christmas benefit. Back when we were hiding our relationship. But by this picture, it was so obvious. She was wearing a black sequin dress, that was short, and tight, but I loved it on her. She was practically on my lap. As I walked into the living room there was another couple of pictures. One of us when the whole group went bowling. she was sitting on my lap as we watched others bowl. Then on the mantle was a picture of us kissing on New Years when the ball dropped. I couldn't handle it. I tried watching TV, but it wasn't working. So I headed up stairs to go to bed. When I walked in I threw my tie off, and untucked my shirt. As I looked over to my bed stand there was another picture with me and Bek. It was of her and I on the plane she had fallen asleep on my shoulder, as I kissed her forehead. I turned around to find another picture of her and I in trainers room, she was hugging me, with her legs around my waist, as she sat on the table, and nestled her face into my neck.

God, I couldn't get away from her. My house was covered by her. Her scent, her clothes, pictures of her and me. I couldn't get away from her. There is no doubt I still loved her. She was the most import person in my life at that moment, but I wanted to not think about her right now. I had images of her in my bed, and in my arms. Now I had images of his hand up her skirt.
I just had to get out of there. I only knew of one place that wouldn't be covered by her.

My POV

As I drove to the house, I was hoping he would be there. So i could get this straightened out. I hated this. Why did I let Alex take advantage of me? He possibly could have screwed up the best thing in my life. As I pulled in the drive way, I went through the front door. As I walked in all the lights were off.
"Val" I yelled from his foyer.

I walked into the kitchen to find nothing but a picture of him at the Christmas benefit. We were so sneaky. I went into the living room, nothing but loads of pictures on different occasions ranging from bowling to locker room to New Years. I saw a beer on the coffee table. I went over to it, it was still, so I knew he had to be here or I just missed him. I ran up the stairs and ran into the bedroom. Nothing. I looked over in the corner to see his baby blue tie he had been wearing, then I looked at his room, bed perfectly made. I went to the bathroom. Shower still dry, and so was the sink. I had to have just missed him. As I came walking out I saw the picture of when we were in the trainers room, and I wasn't feeling good, and Val was rubbing my back. I almost started crying. I had to find him, and I wasn't going to sit and wait till he came back.

So I called one person who knew him better than me.
"Hey Meech"
"Rebekah, what are you doing, do you know what time it is" He said in a sleepily tone.
I glanced at the clock it was close to 12:30
"I'm sorry, But I cant find Val, do you know where he might be"

Meech told exactly where he would be. I ran out to my little red bug, and I was off. I had totally forgot this was Val's happy place. He had brought me here when we first started dating. It was so relaxing, even though it was winter it, and super cold, It still was so beautiful. It was seclude from the city.

As I got out of the car, I could hear the tiny waves crash against the sand bar. I kept my lights on and I could see this familiar figure. I saw him turn around then quickly turn back around. It deathly cold, I don't know how he was doing this. I slowing walked to him, trying to keep the snow from freezing my toes. It wasn't working though. I was wearing one of my nice white jackets. It wasn't that warm, but it was cute. When I reached him, He was nursing a beer, and had a couple of them next to him.
"How did you find me"

Val's POV

As I sat there drinking my Coors. This was my get away place. Even with it being -1 here, it still relaxed me to the point of better then before. I just leaned against a rock, staring at the stars and listing to the waves. I remember when I brought Rebekah here. Lake was frozen complete so we went and walked on the ice. Now it still wasn't completely frozen, and some of the ice had melted, so you could here the waves crash just a little bit. I was on my third beer when I saw a light coming from behind me. I slowly turned my head around, and then saw Rebekah's little red bug sitting behind me. How did she find me? I quickly turned around. Right now she was the last person I wanted see. Who are we kidding, she was the only person I truly wanted to see. I could hear cursing as she walked to the snow. I knew she had to be wearing heels. I smiled at myself, and kept looking at the waves. I finally could feel heat coming from her body, and feel her presences next to me.

"How did you find me" I said before I brought the now frozen bottle to my lips, that were pretty cold.

"I remembered this was you place"
I turned to face her, and gave her 'I know your lying'
"OK, I called Meech, and he told me"
"That sounds better" I said with a lite smile.
"Is there room for one more" She asked. I scooted over so she could sit. As I looked at her, her hair was straighted with a little poof. Her lips were red, and she was wearing a white winter jacket over her short red satin dress.

"So your obviously here for a reason"
She breathed in "well first of all, I'm here because I'm sorry, I should have told you that Alex and I dated for six months"
I just nodded, and she continued to talk.
"I swear I have no feelings for him, he just doesn't know how to take no for answer"
"You weren't telling him no"
"Val, you don't understand, this man has like mind control over me, and I freeze when ever were around each other, that's the whole reason I'm here, I worked for the AHL team for Washington, that's how Alex and I met, and well things were pretty much sex, when we broke up, he wouldn't leave me alone, so I had to move here, and my dad gave me a job here"
I was hearing everything I didn't want to.
"Val, I guess what I'm trying to say, is I'm sorry for lying to you, and I'm very sorry for what you had to see, and I hope we still be friends"
When she said that my eyes bugged out of my head "Wait, are you breaking up with me" I asked looking at her.
"Well I figured that you were going to anyways, I thought Id beat you too it"
I looked at her green eyes. How could I break up with her, she was the best thing to ever happen to me.
"No, no, why would I"
"because I lied to you, I let my old boyfriend take advantage of me"
"Yes, but you also love me, don't you"
"Val, with all my heart"
"see why would I break up with someone that I love with all my heart"
She just looked up at me, and gently kissed my now frozen lips.
"Just promise me, you wont feel up Heidi if she ever comes around" She said.

8- Alexander not so Great

Now that Hannah and Jon were engaged things seemed to die down a little bit. Everything was going good, and at a slower pace. Everything was chill. But not for long.


Valentines day was approaching. Val was actually getting excited. He had it all planned out. He wouldn't tell anyone. Not even Jon, or Meech. All he told me was to after the Washington game was to dress up, and we were going out.

But that was one game I wasn't looking forward too. Not at all was that going to be a game I wanted to be at. See there was something I hadn't told Val, and I wasn't really looking forward to it.

Val's POV


Things with Rebekah were perfect. She brought something out of me, that made me feel good. No girl has ever done that. So when Valentines day came around, I was looking forward to spoiling her.


But one day at practice, the day before Valentines, things didn't look right. I saw her on the bench, she looked scared. Like she was about to cry. I haven't seen her like this since New Years. I had to find out what was wrong. I never ever cared about a girl like this. So as I skated over to her. She just sat there writing something down on her note pad. I could tell she was in her own world, probably doodling.


"Hey babe"


She jumped, scared.

"Oh, Hey babe" She holding her chest, then getting up to give me a kiss.


"Whats wrong" I asked taking the water bottle she offered me, from her hand.

"How do you know something is wrong with me"

"I know, you wont watch practice, and you always watch practice" I said giving her the bottle back.


"Its nothing, I'm fine, just go back to practice"
"No tell me" I said

"Val, I didn't get much sleep"


"OK, that's all you had to say"

My POV
I guess my wordiness showed, because during practice, Val came over asking what was wrong. I told him that I didn't get sleep well. But that was a big fat lie. I really didn't want to lie, but I also didn't really want to tell him the truth.

As I did my work in the trainers room.


(OK, imagine a Russian accent)

"well look what we have here" A deep voice said from behind me. I knew that voice, and I didn't want to hear that voice.
I turned around to see the one person, actually one of the many people from my past I really didn't want to see.

"Alex, hi" I said trying to hold the vomit down.
"My little Rebekah" He said walking closer.
"I'm not yours, and haven't been for two years" I said trying to be polite.
"Yes, two long years " he said getting closer and closer.
"How did you know I would be here" I asked trying to keep my distance as far as possible.
"Alyonka told me"
Screw her. Alyonka Larionov, an old friend of mine in the hockey world, but the sad thing is that
she was a good friend of Alex.


Just as he came closer, my saviour came in.
"babe, you ready... Alex Ovechkin?"
"Baby" Thank god. "Alex, this is my boyfriend, Valterri Filppula" I made an emphases in the word boyfriend, as I wrapped my arm around his back and placing my hand on his chest.
"Val, this is an old friend Alex Ovechkin"
"Nice to meet you man" Val said shaking his hand. Trying to be nice.
"Mhmm, same here"



"So, how did you catch this party girl" Alex said spitefully.
Val just laughed not noticing they mean comment aimed at me. "I don't really know, just happened"
"Babe, Ive got some stuff to do , how about you go start the car, and I'll be out in five minutes"
"OK, sure" he said giving me a kiss, and walking out.


Alex just gave an evil laugh. "Wow, Rebekah, you've got him trained don't you"

"Ha ha, yeah, at least he's more than sex"

"And your not? If I remember right, when you and I were in the same room you couldn't keep your hands off of me"

The vomit came up again, just looking at him, with his screwed up teeth, reminded me how desperate, no not desperate, just plain out stupid I was for letting him put his hand up skirt.

"Well I'm different, mature"
"Your not different" he said coming closer.
"Your still the same old Rebekah as before" he said looking down at me.
"and um, and how do you know that" I said stuttering, trying to keep him away.
He just smiled, and walked about the room. After he left, I found the nearest trash can, and puked guts out.







Vals POV

I was taken by surprise. Rebekah knew Alex Ovechkin, I dint ask questions. But still, how did she know him? Rebekah had a lot of friends in the hockey world, but never ever in my life thought Ovie would be one. As we laid in bed that night, she was barely awake, but still wanted to know how she knew him.

"Babe" I asked holding her close.
"Mhm"
"How is it you know Ovie"

Her body tensed, and she turned to meet my eyes.

"Were just old friends, I don't really know how we met, but when I was in Washington for a little bit we hung out because he knew my dad"

Sounded pretty reasonable, OK that's all I needed to know.







My POV

I was almost asleep then, Val dropped the bomb, by asking about Alex. I didn't want to tell him like this, so I lied and said we were good friends when I was in Washington for the six months I was there. I didn't tell him, we dated for six months, or we use to go at it like rabbits for six months, or that we had a pregnancy scare. But I didn't need too. There was nothing between us now. I still couldn't sleep. So I broke away from Val's grasp.

I grabbed my warm up pants, my Ipod, skates, hoodie, and headed to the Joe. I know it seemed drastic and late for hockey. But when I was a teenager, I solved my problems with hockey. In Ontario I would spend hours at the pond behind my house, just shooting pucks, and practicing my skating.

Then, before I knew it I was blasting pucks into the net, and blasting "Remember the Name" by Fort Minor. I just remembered how I said I was going to be in the NHL. I actually had a chance to make it to the Olympics, but I screwed that up with hormones.

I just shot a super hard slap shot, when I felt someone tap my shoulder. It was Stevie.

"Hey, what brings you here" I asked turning my music off.

"well, Mike called me telling me, there was someone reported at the Joe, and to have me check it out, the bigger question is what brings you here"

I took a deep breath "Just needed to blow some steam I guess"

He looked at me, like he knew exactly what I meant.

"Yep, been there many times"he said grabbing an Easton CCM that I had brought over.


"Mind if I join" He said grabbing a puck, and netting it.



"Not at all" I said as I hit one in with my Easton Synergy.

"So whats bothering you"

I took another long breath "Well I don't know if I should tell you"

"Oh, come on" he said slapping one in.

"Fine, just stuff from my past are coming back to bite me in the ass, that's all" I said shooting one over the net.



'Is it your dad?"
"No, my dad and I are good"
"He nodded"OK, good"

"No, its Alex"
"Alex? Whose Alex?"
Then It dawned on him "ALEX OVECHKIN!"
"Yeah, we dated"
He whistle.

"Yeah, not one of my best judgements"
"Have you told Val" He asked, switching his stick to a Nike Bauer Supreme.
"Um, no"
"And why"
"Because, I'm scared"

When I got home, it was close to 4:30. I instantly fell to sleep.

Next thing I knew, it was morning, and the sun was beaming on me.
"Happy Valentines day"


I rolled over and kissed Val ever so gently.

"Happy Valentines"

I just had to get through the day, and then Val and I could have our first Valentines day.

Well I did really good. I just avoided Alex. I did a fantastic job of it too.


So, we ended up losing. Ozzie couldn't stop Alex.

Val told me to bring a Fancy dress, cause we were going to somewhere special. I went to my dads office to change. I decided on a red Satin strapless dress, and black glitter Louboutin heels. It showed off my best features. Legs and Ass. I felt like Jessica Rabbit. With the high heels, and the tight dress, and my red hair.

I was reapplying my make up. When I heard the door open. I turned around thinking it was Val.
"hey" but I was wrong "Oh, its you"
Alex just laughed "Were you expecting someone else" He asked.
"Yes, actually" I said closing my compact, after applying red lipstick.

"Well, looks like you dressed up for me, you know how I always loved you in red"
I totally forgot that.
"Don't flatter yourself" I said straighting my dress, and fluffing my straight hair.

"By the way what did you mean yesterday, 'I was the same Rebekah" He always seemed to be the only man to get into my head.
He laughed devilishly "Easy signs"
"Really? How come I can see them?"
"Because you blind to your flaws"
I breathed in deep, he was getting under my skin. "then what are these 'easy signs' "
I grabbed my hand, and placed me in front of this big picture in my dads office, where I could see my reflection, and stood very close behind me.
"one, your dress is so tight your bare underneath, and your dress is so low in the back your not wearing a bra" he said grazing his hand over my curve of my ass, and the top of my breast. giving me weary chills.
"Your wearing thick make up, and it looks like your dieing to go out clubbing, like we use too, remember back in Washington" He said whispering in my ear, making me sick to my stomach.

"Whatever, Val makes me happy, unlike you"I said walking away from the picture.
He laughed again, walking closer.
"Come on, Rebekah, Does he make you say his name like I did, does he make you moan, like I do. Does he make you scream, does he make you scream, does he do the stuff we did" He said backing me up, into my dads desk. His hand moving farther up into my dress, breathing into my neck. Just his cold touch was enough to make me sick.

I was frozen, I couldn't say much. I tried yelling, but I couldn't. After two years, this stupid man, still had some kind of control over me. This stupid involuntary control over my body, that I could get rid of.

"Please stop" I innocently, and almost whispering it. That's all I could muster up.

"so how about you letting me, lay you out on this desk here, and we relive some old memories" He whispered into my ear.
Right at that time, I heard the door open. I looked around Alex to see Val standing there. mouth dropped.

"Val"I said breathless.
