Chapter 48

okay these next couple chapters are nothing like Geno. it was just something i made up...SO please noone take it to heart. because he would never do any of this.

Marc~

Around 3:45 am I heard Vero's phone go off. She didnt answer so I statred to fall back asleep not even thinking to look who it was. About five minutes later mine went off. I looked at the caller ID to see that it was Sidney. What the hell is he doing up at this hour on a game day, or any day for that matter.

"What?" I answered.

"Geez dude. My bad for waking you but this is serious. Where's V." He talked so fast.

"Asleep. Did you just call?" I asked as i leaned up to turn on the light.

"Yeah. Wake her up she needs to get over to my house right now. I'm like freaking the fuck out dude." He slowly said it this time.

"Why what happened?" I asked as I leaned over to wake her.

"V. Baby wake up." I shook her arm.

"It's Ciera. I dont know what happened. I could really use you guys though. Especially Vero." I heard him doing something in the backround.

"Okay. Let me get her up. We will be over."

He hung up.

"What Marc." she hit me.

"Sidney just called.." she looked up to me. "Something happened to Ciera."

I never saw her jump out of bed so fast.

"What? Is she okay? Is she in the hospital? What happened?" She started yelling out random questions.

"I dont know. No. And Sid didnt tell me." I tried to make sure to answer them all.

"Where are they?" She grabbed some sweats and a hoodie.

"His house. Let's go." I grabbed my shoes and tried to keep up with her as she practically ran out of the house.

Sidney~

I tried everything to get her to talk to me, She just wouldnt do it. So as I waited for Vero and Marc to get here I placed a wet towel on her forehead and her stomach trying to cool her off. She felt so hot when I touched her, her temperature was 110. I wanted to take her to the hospital but she made me promise not to do it. That it would cause more trouble then what was needed. I was texting Vero as she made her way here when I saw Ciera staring at me.

"Will you talk to me?" I asked her softly placing a kiss on her forehead.

"Promise you wont go awal." She stared hard into my eyes.

"I promise." I leaned in closer to her.

"Geno and I went home. We got in a fight and next thing I know that Elena girl is walking in the house. Didn't even knock. I started yelling at her and then bam, Im on the floor looking up at Geno. An Before you get up to go after him..It wasn't him. It was her. Well actually Im not sure who hit me the first time... But he didnt stop her after that, he didnt yell at her or get her off of me. She had me pinned to the floor I tried everything in my power to get her off of me. I couldnt she was to heavy and had the perfect position. She knocked me out. I woke up and I couldnt find Geno anywhere. I yelled for him, called him, he's nowhere to be found." She lifted up her left hand. "An neither is my ring." Tears started falling down her face, I could feel my eyes swelling up with tears to. Then I heard the door open and who I knew was Vero running up the stairs.

"Oh my God.." She fell to her knees. "what happened? She needs to go to the hospital right now. Something can seriously be wrong."

I looked over to see Marc helping her up and tears filled both of their eyes. Ciera was like a little sister to Marc to. He'd known her way before she decided to come down to Pittsburgh. I could see he was enragged to.

"Vero, stay here. She wont let me take her to the hospital. I need to talk to Marc for a second." I pushed him out the door as Vero took my seat and reached for her hand as tears fell down her face.

"What she tell you? Was it Geno?" He questioned.

"She said it wasnt him that it was Elena as far as she knows. But I have the weirdest feeling that it was. Why would he stand there and just let his fiance get the shit beaten out of her and not be able to do anything because how blindsided she was and how she was positioned on her. Then leave her to pretty much die in the house. Oh and her ring is gone to..Sound funny to you? Or is it just me."

"That is sketchy." He looked into the room. "Does anyone else know yet?"

"No. I was gonna call Mario once I knew what happened. An I dont wanna tell any of the guys with the first game tommarow. Yah know." I pulled out my phone.

"That's a good idea. But what happens when she doesnt show up at the game or party.. And with us two knowing all this we have to look at his face tommarow... I dont think I'll be able to do it." He shook his head.

"I dont know. I guess we will have to just get over it for that short time. I'm gonna try not to think about it. I dont think im going to go to that party, I dont think Vero will go to either one tommarow."

"Okay that sounds like the best thing to do. I know she wont. She probally wont even leave this house." He laughed. "Call Mario he might have something else to propose we do. Ill go talk with them a little."

"Okay. Watch her fever. She has had a high one since she got here. I think she needs to see a doctor ASAP." I walked down the hall to make the call.

I walked back in shortly to see that Ciera was asleep and Vero held her hand tightly, checking her pulse every now and again.

"He said that my idea was best about the team. He said not to confront Evgeni, he will after the game. He also said to bring them to the game if she is feeling up to it, they can have one of the Boxes for the night, since he now has two of them. Noone will know they are their, and none of the waiters will be around them, he will watch and attend to you two's needs." I looked to Vero. "How is she doing?"

"I dont know. She doesnt feel as hot as she was. I replaced the towels a few minutes ago. She needs a doctor Sid." She looked at me then back to her.

"I know, she made me promise no hospitals though." I sat at the edge of the bed.

"What about a house call? Do they still do those? I mean I'm sure someone would come over if the Great Sidney Crosby called them. Doesn't Mario have one on call?" Marc looked to me.

"He does. Let me have him call before he heads over here." I walked back out the room.

Vero~

I didnt want to leave her side. I didnt want to do anything but be with my best friend, even if that ment that i had to give up the game and party tommarow. We were gonna look so good tommarow. That stupid Slut. I will find her. One of the girls will see her, and ill get the text that girl wont last in this city to long.

"He's on his way with the doctor. He was already a step ahead of us." Sid laughed a little.

It was good to see him smile. He had the same look on his face since we got here, to be honest it was starting to scare the shit out of me.

"Marc, Go home. I cant leave her. But you have a game tommarow and you need to be well rested. You too Sidney. Go to bed, I can take care of her and the Doctor and Mario for that matter. I will let you know of anything that needs to be sent along." She looked at both of us. "You both know she wouldnt want you guys staying up just looking at her."

They both agreed, But decided to wait for Mario, then head to bed. Marc also decided to stay in one of the other guest bedrooms, instead of driving home.

About twenty minutes later Mario was walking up the stairs with his Doctor following step for step.

"He has a contract with me that nothing gets out to the press or public. That's why I keep him around, because I know that I can trust him with anything. This isnt any different." He smiled to Sid.

"Vero, I'm going now. I wont go to sleep till you come tell me what he says though. So dont forget." Marc said as he walked down the hall.

"Yeah, I'm a head to my room to and attempt to sleep, but please be sure to let me know to." Sid kissed her hand and walked out the door.

"wow." Was all Mario could say.

"I know. I have never seen him like this." I got up to let the doctor check her out. "Can I get you guys anything?"

"Im fine. Ill let you know about her though." The doctor went back to examining her.

I sat in the corner chair just watching along with Mario. A look of concern filled his eyes, a few times i saw him look away and rub his eyes as if he was crying.
