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.
