Being Married to Eddie Roundtree | Headcannons

Request: Hello!! How are you? Can you make Headcannons of being married to Eddie please?

Warnings: Marriage (?)

Taglist: @celestialstar111

Daisy Jones and The Six Masterlist

- He likes to sleep on the left side of the bed. It doesn't matter if he's sleeping on a twin or full, he'll always lean towards the left. If you sleep on the left side, all hell will break loose. He won't wake you, but he'll complain about his back hurting and lack of sleep the next morning. It drives you crazy to no end.

- You both sleep in whenever he's on a break. Between his job causing him to be away for so long and your job demanding a lot of your focus, it's hard to find time for just the two of you. Whenever he's got time off, the two of you lay in bed for almost the whole day.

- Without a doubt, you're the first person he shares music with. It used to be the band, but you really are his biggest supporter. Whether it's just a little best or a full fledged song, you lay down beside him and listen to him play.

- You're always running low on vacation and sick days due to Eddie's tours. You try to attend as many as you can, but sometimes it isn't feasible. Whenever you do make it, he takes you out afterwards and you stay with him at his hotel. Usually, you leave the following afternoon.

- Camila tends to stay in the background, a force behind the scenes while you're the opposite. You're a journalist, so you're used to getting out there and making yourself known. Plus, it's Eddie, he worships you and wants to show you off.

- You spend your first Christmas as a married couple with his family back in Pittsburgh. The two of you then alternate it every year between staying in LA and going back to PA. When the band splits up, joint Christmases together don't happen.

- When he decides to become a music producer, you support him through it all. His business takes off and he takes you out on the town to celebrate.

- The two of you absolutely love to travel. Seeing the world has always been a dream of yours, and with the business and your job, the two of you are able to make it happen.

- You guys continue living in California, but opt to stay a few minutes out of LA for some much needed peace and quiet.

- Eddie wakes up at the same time every morning, makes himself coffee, and winds up falling back asleep when he's finished. You always pull a blanket on top of him.

- Eddie's family adores you. You're everything they wanted for their son and more. They treat you like royalty.

- He goes through a quarter life crisis and buys a motorcycle—but you don't let him use it because it's too dangerous. You won that argument.

- Every year on the anniversary of your wedding, he takes you back to the spot he proposed to you on (the beach) and the two of you watch the tide come in. It's a tradition that carries on throughout your entire marriage.

✧.* word count — 2.0k

✧.* 🥁 — Warren's masterlist

✧.* mandy's notes — I'm so in love with this man omg!!!!! Warren please I have a family

Your life in Pittsburgh was always laid back, nothing too drastic to complain about in fact quite the opposite you had great friendships and got along with most people. From a very young age you knew that your great passion was singing and when you heard Graham giving Warren, Eddie and Chuck the idea of becoming a band your eyes lit up with excitement, you knew that the invitation was not directed to you but you managed to convince him to let you participate.

Practice started in Chuck's garage, and you knew that even though you were trying hard, it wasn't good. You guys had a lot to improve on, and even though Billy came in and took control of everything, you were grateful that he stepped in and helped. And with everyone's effort, well except Chuck, you were now recording your first record with your best friends... and Billy.

"Warren can you believe it?" You say hugging him tight, you were so overjoyed to finally be living this.

"I knew we were going to make it, princesa" He says returning the hug, throwing you both on the sofa in the living room afterwards.

"Good morning lovebirds." Eddie says entering the room. " What is the reason for such happiness? Did you finally decide to make your relationship official?"

Your cheeks flush with the bassist's words, and Warren gives him the middle finger, Roundtree laughs at the situation and then sits in the armchair next to you.

Let's say you and the drummer were very close since you joined the band, you identified with each other since the beginning, and everything you could do together you did. And that closeness was always a source of suspicion for Eddie who was sure you two liked each other and didn't want to admit it.

Y/N L/N: Eddie was obsessed with the idea that Warren and I were having something, well... At that time we weren't.

Eddie Roundtree: And did you believe her? I swear if you saw those two together you would know what I'm talking about. Ask Graham!

Graham Dunne: Y/N and Warren? Wait, you're telling me that they started dating only after the recording of the album started?

Karen Sirko: It's a joke, isn't it? Oh my God you're serious!

Warren Rojas: I mean, We were very touchy with each other and I can understand why they thought that. *Laughing*

You were lying on the couch with Warren watching some cartoon that was on TV, Graham had gone to the beach with Karen and Eddie had been sleeping since he had lunch. So the two of you were alone.

"Warren, have you ever stopped to think about how crazy this all is?" You were in the middle of the drummer's legs, drawing imaginary things on his leg while watching television.

"What do you mean princesa?" He says pulling you into more of him.

"It's just that I never thought I'd be here, fulfilling my dream, you know?" You turn to look the drummer in the eyes, hugging him once more and resting your head on his shoulder.

"I love everything I'm living with you guys, sorry... I'm emotional today"

"Hey, don't apologize for telling me how you feel." He says, placing several kisses in your hair in comfort. "I understand what you mean, I feel like I'm having the time of my life!"

"Your hair looks beautiful today, you know?" You say petting the man's curls.

Warren smiles at your comment, just squeezing you closer. He loved the smell of you and having you around was such a comfort to the drummer that he didn't want to let you go. You felt safe being with him and as time went on you knew you were starting to grow into something more.

Eddie Roundtree: So I walk into the living room and BOOM! They were cuddling together watching a movie, if that's not being a couple then I don't know what is! Come on Jules, you have to believe me.

…

Consciously, the day you signed the contract with the record company was also your birthday and Camila couldn't get the idea out of her head that y'all had to have a party to celebrate all these achievements and of course, your birthday.

You had woken up super early, you were looking forward to all the good things that were going to happen today so you couldn't sleep any longer. When you were ready to leave your room and have breakfast your bedroom door opens, the drummer had a tray in his hand with some food for you.

"Hey, no princesa go back to bed!" He says taking a few steps back and closing the door. "Pretend I woke you up, alright?" He says, his voice sounding muffled because of the closed door.

"Okay." You laugh, lying down on the bed and pulling the blanket over you.

"Can I come in?" He asks and you quickly say yes, Warren opens the door and balances the tray on the other hand, with a big smile on his face. "Look if it's not the birthday girl, did you sleep well?"

"Being honest with you, I don't think I even slept." you sit up, patting the bed for him to do the same. "I'm so excited about the contract that I couldn't stop thinking about anything else."

Warren laughs when he sees you so excited, he knew everything you had gone through to get here, all your dreams and expectations. And he couldn't explain the feeling he had when he saw your eyes shining with happiness, he felt that he would do anything just to keep seeing that smile on your face.

You spent a few minutes talking in your room, you had breakfast with him and he probably sang happy birthday to you four times that morning just to make sure you felt loved.

You had been spoiled all day by your friends, they were always super nice to you, you couldn't have chosen better people. So after much insistence from Camila you agree that you should celebrate.

Warren had been thinking about you all day and Eddie's recurring comments were playing in his head. His image with you wasn't so bad, in fact it was everything he wanted most in the last few days... Or months. He had finally realized, he was in love with you and he needed to have you close he wanted you close.

But his thoughts kept him off the whole day, he was practically not by your side since this morning and consequently he had no physical contact with you. Which made you extremely insecure, you were used to having Warren by your side hugging, exchanging cuddles, things like that. So when he spent the day away from you, you felt kind of low, you wanted to ask him for a hug, you wanted to be with him but at the same time you didn't want to bother him.

If he didn't look for me it's because he didn't want to, right? You thought.

The night had arrived and you were getting ready for the party that Camila was preparing, as it was your birthday and also a celebration for the success of The Six you wanted to look amazing for it so you had spent time in your room getting ready with Karen, leaving the guys alone in the living room.

"So Warren, when are you going to tell her?" Eddie speaks, getting the drummer's attention.

"Tell who, what?" Rojas says taking a bite of his joint.

"What do you mean tell who? Y/N, when are you going to tell her that you're madly in love with her?" Roundtree takes the joint from the drummer, smoking it.

"Shii, keep it down she can hear you." Rojas taps his friend on the shoulder as he laughs at the situation

"Come on man, she likes you too!" The blonde says rolling his eyes.

"How can you be so sure?" asks the drummer.

"Because half of all people on the label including people in this band think you guys date!" The bassist speaks, almost irritated. "Is it serious that you don't see it?"

"People of the band?" Warren asks, not believe it.

"You'd be surprised." Eddie says laughing. "If you take my advice bro, tell her."

…

The garden of Camila and Billy's house was lit by some candles, what she had prepared was something simple like back in Pittsburgh where it was just you in a garage until dawn playing repeatedly your songs. The six of you were sitting around eating the food prepared by Cami and talking about anything, as usual Warren was drumming on whatever he saw, Eddie admired Camila every time he had a chance - what he believed no one noticed but you always knew the blonde's heart was hers-, Karen sat next to Graham and they both laughed at something, Billy sang something random over Warren's beat and you watched the drummer not even trying to hide it.

Without you noticing tears falls from your eyes, you loved all those people so much and you were so happy to be there with them, you felt very wanted and lucky by their side.

"Hey Hermosa, why are you crying?" Warren says when he notices, wiping the tear from your cheek.

"I'm just happy, that's all." You rest your head on his shoulder, seeking contact.

Warren places a kiss on your head as a reciprocity of affection, getting a look from Eddie that basically said "are you gonna talk to her or nah?". Rojas take a deep breath, trying to take courage, you feel his hand in yours caressing it, your gaze goes to the man who smiles at you.

"May I speak to you privately?" He whispers, not wanting to draw too much attention.

"Of course." You say getting up and offering your hand to him, he takes it.

Warren leads you to the farthest part of the garden, your hands were still clasped together when you arrived. He watches you for a moment in silence, with a smile on his face, you look back at him a little anxious with what he wanted to tell you.

"Warren?" You get his attention. "Did I do something wrong? What did you want to talk about?"

"What? No princesa, why would you think that?" He says calming you down, bringing his hand to your cheek.

"I don't know... I felt you distant today, I only saw you this morning and…" You sigh, avoiding looking at him. "It doesn't matter, I'm demanding things that are not your obligation, sorry"

"Hey, slow down hermosa let me talk." He laughs and you laugh along with him, he caresses your cheek tenderly his eyes were fixed on you as if he wanted to decorate every corner of your face. "I stayed away today because I was thoughtful."

"Thoughtful about what? Is everything alright?" You worry, he looked anxious as he spoke, and to comfort him you approach hugging him. "You know you can count on me, right?"

"I'm madly in love with you." He whispers next to your ear, your body freezes with those words. You break free of the hug, looking into his eyes to make sure you heard him right.

"What?" Your voice barely comes out.

"I'm crazy for you princesa." Your body fills with chills hearing the nickname in his native language. "I don't know what happens to me when I'm with you, your smile hypnotizes me... your eyes got me stuck, I'm completely in love with every detail of you. And I don't know how you feel about me, I don't know if you feel the way I do... but I need you to know that I feel that you are the person that completes me, I fucking love you."

You smile not knowing what to say, he looked nervous waiting for your reaction to everything he said. You let go of his hands, cupping his face and kissing him intensely, he holds your waist tightly stroking your lower back showing affection. That kiss was something you both craved more than anything else, and with more contact you found yourself wanting more and more from each other.

"I fucking love you too." You say after the kiss, keeping your foreheads together, he smiles, placing several pecks on your lips.

He grabs you with joy, making you laugh at the situation as he spins you around.

"I'll never let you go" He sets you down on the floor, smiling at you. "Te amo, mi amor."

...

Hi, I hope you enjoyed it... If you wanted to ask for something my requests are open, and if you want to ask and don't have any ideas check out my prompt list :) xoxo

Brandon played at Boston college for two years before making his debut. Paige also has a sister Eleanor Alexander she is 3 years younger and the baby of the family, Paige and her have a very close relationship.

The Alexander family moves to the tbe beachside town of Capeside Massachusetts when she was 5 years old, as her father got a coaching job with the local high school team

On her first day of kindergarten she’s new to Capeside and has a hard time making friends as she’s very shy but also very pretty and that day she meets a very lively and energetic boy named Jack. At the time she didn’t know she met her best friend and her future husband.

She loves the ocean and could spend everyday at Capeside Beach her favorite place in the world.

She’s a bookworm and a hopeless romantic, she loves Jane Austen novels but her favorite book of all times is Gone With the Wind:)

She’s increíble with photography and loves taking ocean shots or ones of her dog Lizzy Taylor

Lizzy Taylor is Paige’s golden retriever she gets when she’s seventeen (eventually Jack’s too) Lizzy is named after Elizabeth Taylor as Paige is obsessed with old Hollywood glamor and she’s sucker for the old movies.

Paige is a lover of animals- one day Paige found a baby bird with a wounded wing outside her window in New York she enlists Jack to help her save the bird and Jack laughs at her, but agrees as he can’t say no to his beautiful caring wife and they nurse the baby bird to health with a makeshift nest till it’s ready to be set free.

In high school Paige could be teased as she was very shy and very smart always with her head in a book.

Paige becomes friends with a special needs boy Ethan in high school as people were so cruel to him but Paige has a heart of gold. This really fuels her desire to start a career in special education as she’s very patient and gentle.

She gets accepted to Columbia University her senior year of high school and is so excited to move to New York and pursue her education in education lol. The only thing she doesn’t want is to be a away from jack the love of her life

Paige gets lucky as Jack gets drafted 1st overall to the New Jersey Devils and she’s so excited. Jack and her buy a cute townhouse in the west village that absolutely perfect and even has a park across the street for Lizzy. They buy the home with his first NHL paycheck that’s close enough for her to go to school and the rink for him.

Paige and her friends from Columbia every month although she’s married to Jack have a girls night out or day out. Her favorite activities include exploring the bookstores around NYC, going to bakery’s as she’s a sweet tooth and a sucker for a good cupcake, or antique shopping as she’s obsessed with decorating Jack and hers place.

She’s loves flowers and she has a theme for her home every 2 weeks of a certain color or type.

She’s secretly a sucker for reality tv, she loves the real housewives or the bachelor and Jack makes fun of her but he secretly loves watching and having commentary.

Paige loves Taylor Swift and she’s currently a folklore girl but when she married Jack she was a total lover girl and their first dance with to Lover. She currently prays now that with living in the same area as Taylor she will eventually run into her idol.

Paige just recently graduated from Columbia in May and she’s at her first year at her job working at a elementary school in the city with very young special needs kids.

Jack Hughes

Born: Jack Rowden Hughes

Birthday: May 14th 2001 in Capeside Massachusetts

Age currently: 22 years old

Personality: caring, funny, outgoing, cocky, and deploy in love with Paige, Paige would also say adorable

Jack has an older brother Quinn Hughes who currently plays for the Vancouver Canucks, and a younger brother Luke Hughes who plays with him on the New Jersey Devils.

Jack has lived in Capeside his entire life and like his brothers he has been playing hockey since he could walk and he played for the town of Capeside’s hockey team from the age of 4 till 18.

In high school Jack was the captain of the Capeside Cavaliers and he was incredibly talented, scouts would come from all NHL franchises to watch the local kid blow past everyone on the ice.

Paige’s father James Alexander was his coach in high school so Jack was terrified of him as James was very protective of Paige making sure he wasn’t going to hurt her or make her give up her educational dreams. James was also protective of Jack’s career and didn’t want Paige to become a distraction which she never did.

A scout from Sweden approached Jack when he was fourteen offering him a spot on a international team as he was so talented but he declined as he wanted to stay in Capeside with his friends and family and most importantly Paige .

Jack suffers from really bad anxiety and panic attacks and Paige is still the only one that can cure them when she’s home with him and it happens she just holds him and strokes him hair telling him she loves him so much and he doesn’t have be perfect on the ice for her. When he’s away from Paige and his panic attacks happen he FaceTimes her and she tells him to breathe with her and some nights when he’s on roadies they fall asleep on the phone together as sometimes they both need it.

Jack’s really talented at drawing and in high school was always taking art classes and he didn’t want any of his hockey friends to know as he thinks he’ll be laughed at. Paige always tells him he’s amazing and shouldn’t hide it.

Jack always draws cute things for Paige in anniversary cards or birthday cards and Paige finds it so sweet.

Jacks best friend other then Paige is Trevor Zegras his childhood friend who’s a lovable goofball and was the best man at Jack and Paige’s wedding.

Jack is drafted number 1 in the 2019 NHL draft to the Devils and he struggles deeply in his rookie year and though Paige and him are strong and continue to be strong after, his rookie year is their first year of marriage and Paige’s first year at Columbia so a lot is happening but they are both there for each other forever and always.

Luke comes to live with Paige and Jack his first season with the devils and drives Jack nuts as he’s dirty and still a teen and they bicker a ton, and Paige has to become the middle ground. Luke would always whine that Paige didn’t play fair as Jack always gets his way as he is her husband.

Chapter 1

Summery: Tyler finds out that his now Ex soon to be wife had been cheating on him behind his back. Heartbroken and alone he hinds out in his Captain's basement until his best friend in the whole world offers him refuge in Pittsburgh to ride out the summer and let things cool down in Texas.

Word count: 3.5K

Warnings: swearing, drinking, a fight of you look hard enough. I believe that's it.

A03

I just want to put this out there this is a work of fiction. I in no way shape or form know how these players really act in really life. For those of you who may like Alex Kerfoot I am warning you for the sake of the series ONLY, I made Alex a jackass to fit the story line. I don't know how he really acts in person but I made him what I needed him to be for the story only. Please don't hate on me or the series if you don't agree with how he acts or talks within the series. Thank you

When you plan the perfect fairytale wedding, have the perfect ring, the perfect girl to walk down the aisle to you, you expect it to go perfectly smooth right? Well that's what Tyler Seguin thought the day he proposed to Tiffany. It had been the perfect beach proposal in Italy during the off season, they had been together for 2 years and she seemed to understand what it meant to be a hockey player's wife. Everything seemed like a fairytale… till last night when he found what he thought was the love of his life, fucking another man in their bed, in their house. Since then he had been hiding away in Jamie's basement, nursing a beer as he poured out his heart to his best friend over facetime.

"Ziggy, I know it hurts, and I'm truly sorry, but hiding in a basement till the season starts is not the answer." Arabella Kerfoot said with a dramatic sigh. Tyler took another sip of his beer and looked away from the camera. He knew she was right but his pride was too wounded to admit that.

"I don't know, Jamie's basement is pretty nice."

"It's May, Segs. Hockey starts in September. You gonna hide down there for over 4 months??" Ella gave him a hard look. Hanging his head the hockey forward sighed and shook his head. Running a hand through his black hair he looked back up and gave her the same look back.

"So what do you suggest, oh Great One?"

Bella laughed and flipped him off through the camera. "Wayne Gretzky is the Great One. But come spend the summer with me hiding away from the Media and just regroup. Take a breather." She said, taking a bite of her muffin as she leaned back into her chair. Tyler watched her closely, seeing if she was serious about it. He closed his eyes and ran his hand through his hair again before looking back up at the camera. "Come on, even Jamie thinks it's a good idea."

"You talked to Benn about it?" .

Bella smiled at the camera and took another bite of her muffin. "What else was I supposed to do?" She asked. "Of course I talked to Jamie about it and he agreed with me. You need to leave his basement. Like yesterday and get your ass up here to my place. Take the summer to shut out the world and regroup with me." She sighed and sat her muffin down, running a hand through her hair before leaning closer to the camera. "Tyler, what happened is shitty. What she did to you was something horrible, but if you stay there, if you let this haunt you, it's going to ruin you. The media will eat you alive. Plus if you went home… dude I love your family, but let's be honest, they won't let you have any peace trying to make sure you're okay after something like this."

He knew she was right. He honestly did. They both had shitty reputations with the media. They messed up one time in their careers and all the sudden they were uncontrollable wild childs that needed to be torn down. Tyler has done so much since his move to Texas to rebrand himself, make a better name and leave all the Boston shit behind him. He finished his beer and looked off into the distance of the darkened room. Ella stayed silent as he thought, as his mind went through all his thoughts. He sighed and picked at the sandwich Jamie had made him hours ago, but left untouched. He knew Ella was waiting for him to answer, but his mind was tired and his heart was too broken to give her one. He heard his best friend sigh, knowing she was trying hard to give them the space he needed but a push at the same time. There was a 6 year age gap between the two Forwards, Tyler taking on the role of big brother to a young girl he met in 2017 who had just won the Stanley Cup in her rookie year with Pittsburgh, and made a mistake in front of the media, earning her a nasty reputation, similar to the one he had when he played for Boston. Fast forward 4 years later and the two were more like siblings then their own siblings. Tyler stood by Ella in so many fights with her brother Alex, who played for Toronto, when he would fight her on what a disappointment her reputation bright to the family name. Ella also stood beside Tyler during many family events where his family would hound him on not having settled down yet and setting his new found reputation into stone. Over the past 4 years the two of them formed a bond, one that to the outside world looked more than platonic, but they could never see each as anything more than best friends and siblings.

Knowing that Ella was in his corner and would understand if he needed a moment to breathe and ponder her request to spend the summer in Pittsburgh with her, he finally answered her question. "Let me have the night, to just…. Let my mind shut down and figure out how to go about this. I'll call you in the morning and let you know what I'm going to do. Okay Bell?"

"Okay Ziggy. If I don't hear from you by 10am I'm calling Benn and making him put you on a plane though. Love you Bubs."

"Love you Bubs." Tyler said back with their signature sign off before hanging up the phone. The room was darker than he remembered from before Ella had called, so flipping on a light he sat down on one of the sofas in Jamie's basement. His phone lit up with text messages from Tiffany, ones he swiped away so he didn't have to see them. With a sigh he flipped his phone over and ignored it as it continued to buzz. Getting up he walked slowly up the staircase to the first floor into the kitchen. Jamie was there cooking some food, listening to a game from the playoffs from the TV in the corner.

"About time you showed your face. Ella finally got you to leave my dungeon of despair?" Jamie asked as he stirred the stuff in the pot. Tyler raised an eyebrow upon hearing the weird name for the basement and Jamie saw the look of confusion. Nodding his head and waving a hand in the air he answered the silent question. "That's what she called it when she called me this morning. Don't ask, it's Ella, that's enough said."

Both men have a soft chuckle at that and Jamie went back to stirring his food. Tyler walked to the fridge and grabbed a bottle of water, chugging it down like his life depended on it. He hadn't drunk anything other than beer in the past 14 hours, and he didn't realize how thirsty he was till that moment. Throwing the empty water bottle in the small bin beside the sink, he leaned against the countertop and ran a hand through his thick hair.

"Ella wants me to come to Pittsburgh for the summer…. Instead of going home." He broke the silence after a bit of deep thinking. Jamie hummed in response, turning the stove off and removing his dish he had been stirring. Tyler watched him closely as he poured the stew into bowls. "You don't seem surprised." Jamie put the pot down and turned to face his best friend. He placed his arms over his chest and leaned against the table.

"Tyler, going home is only going to end in 1 of 2 ways. Your family going overboard on trying to keep you happy and giving you no time to grieve this, or being all up your ass about how shit went wrong and how this is going to look in you. They won't let you have any peace."

Tyler folded his arms and hung his head, giving a slight nod. "That's what Ella said too."

Jamie pushed off from the table and walked over to the forward and placed a hand on his shoulder. "Ella is right. And she's right in the fact you should go spend the summer with her. Lord knows that girl can't go home to her family. Not fair you two spend your summer with people that don't understand you. She's your best friend, so go and recover from this."

Tyler nodded his head and looked down at his bare feet. He knew they were right, there was nothing holding him here for the next few months. So pulling out his phone he shot a text to his one friend, asking if they could fly them on their small private plane to Pittsburgh in the morning. Then he shot a text to Ella that he knew she was probably already expecting.

*Pick me up at the airport in the morning*

∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆

Stepping off the private plane around 8am in Pittsburgh instead of getting ready for a bachelor party that night wasn't how Tyler saw his weekend going. But here he was getting off his friend's plane at the airport to meet up with Ella. Flipping his sunglasses up onto his hair he looked around for the tall brunette he called his best friend. Looking off to his right he saw her walking his way. Ella was one for fashion. She knew what looked good on her tall, thin but muscular frame. Clad in a white deep V neck shirt that hugged her curves, a pair of dark blue skinny jeans with black ankle boots. Orange tinted Aviators kept her eyes from the morning sun, her hair fell to her shoulder blades thick and wavy down her back.

"You definitely know how to make an entrance Ell-Bell." Tyler said as he took the last few steps off the private plane. Ella's bright laugh filled the air around them as she stopped in front of her best friend.

"Please Ziggy, you dress to impress all the time, you lady killer." She said waving her hand at his current outfit. He had on a dark green shirt that was so tight it was a second skin. Every muscle on display. Tan pants clinged to his thighs, dark brown Hey Dudes on his feet. His hair was styled in the blown away look, curls perfectly messy. Dark sunglasses now perched on top of his head. His wide, full white smile lit up the runway, reaching out he pulled his best friend into a hug. For the first time since he found his now ex-fiance with another man, he really smiled. Pulling away from the hug, Tyler grabbed his bags he had dropped at his feet and followed Ella to her car. Tossing his bags Into the back seat of her Jeep, he climbed into the passenger seat and turned to look at his best friend.

"Thank you Ella…. For helping me during this. For being my best friend."

The brunette smiled back at him and took his hand, giving it a squeeze. "You are welcome Tyler. I know this is hard, and shitty. What she did was unforgettable. You are more of a brother than my own flesh and blood and I will always stand in your corner." She let go of his hand and started up her jeep, the warm spring air floating through the windows as she pulled out of the airport parking lot. "And you know that whenever you want to talk about it, or vent, or just sit in silence and drink a beer together, you just have to ask."

Tyler watched the scenery go by out his window. Pittsburgh was a beautiful town, the people here passionate about their sports teams with flags and banners blowing in the light breeze. What had once been a small coal town was now a booming city with people from all over flocking to its doors to watch hockey and football and baseball, for jobs and major opportunities that showed up each day.

The trees were just starting to green up, the grass turning a pretty shade of green, early spring flowers blooming in the yards of the homes they drove past. Tyler was lost in thought as he watched the town go by, the wind blowing through his curls as he leaned his head back against the headrest. The sound of a phone ringing broke him from his thoughts. Looking over at his friend, he watched as she looked down at her phone, a scowl across her face as she quickly hit decline to the call.

"Is everything okay Ella?" Concern in his voice. The forward sighed as she came to a stop at a red light. She looked over at Tyler through her sunglasses and he knew right away she wasn't happy.

"Alex keeps calling." She finally spoke as she turned back to look at the road.

"What does he want?"

"It's Alex. The only reason he ever calls his baby sister is because he wants to yell at me for being the family disappointment." The light turned green and Ella started moving the Jeep again, flipping her turn signal on and going right, towards her house. "Every year my family goes on a vacation together and last year I just…. Hide away and not gone. And I don't plan on going this year and I'm sure he is calling to bitch me out for it among other things….. shit."

Tyler looked from his friend to the front windshield as he felt the jeep come to a stop. He looked up the driveway to Ella's house on the outside of town and saw a car parked right by the front door. Looking back at his friend he gave her a pissed off look.

"What is he doing here?" Tyler hissed as he looked back at the Subaru in the driveway. Ella remained quiet as she pulled up her driveway to park beside the car that was waiting for them. The Jeep hadn't even been turned off yet when Tyler was out of its doors and marching towards the man waiting. After the past weekend, the drama and pain he went through, he was now ready for a fight.

"What the hell do you want Alex?" His voice boomed as Tyler stopped in front of the tall dark haired player from Toronto. He watched as Alex Kerfoot scowled upon hearing his voice and turned to face him.

"I should have known my baby sister would have gone running the minute she found out you were no longer engaged." Alex sneered as he crossed his arms over his chest.

Ella stopped next to Tyler and matched her brother's posture. "The fuck is that supposed to mean?"

Alex laughed, shaking his head as if the answer was obvious. "With the reputation you both have among players it should be very clear what I'm saying. But I'll spell it out nevertheless." He pushed off his car and stopped inches from his sister. "You couldn't wait to have him back in your bed after you were the one that probably wrecked his engagement, Arabella. People like you two don't know how to be any different no matter how much your families try to put you on the right path."

Tyler grabbed Alex by the arm and yanked him away from Ella who had a look of horror across her face. Tyler pushed Alex up against his car and pinned him there with an arm across his chest.

"Watch your mouth Kerfoot. My engagement being called off has nothing to do with Ella. Your sister is my best friend and she offered me a place to stay while all that shit back in Texas gets worked out. Next time don't speak without the facts." He said through gritted teeth. Tyler stood a few inches taller than Alex, and he put his full height to his advantage. The two glared at each other for a moment before Ella spoke up.

"Why are you here Alex?"

Pushed against Tyler's arm, Alex broke free and fixed his jacket, giving the taller man one more glare before facing his sister. "You never come home anymore during the off season. Your place is at home, with family, keeping your rep clean during the summer instead of hiding out in Pittsburgh, giving the media more drama to feed off of. So I came to get you."

"Yeah that's not happening." Tyler chuckled sarcastically as he stepped closer to Ella for support. Alex cocked his head and waved a hand between the 3 of them to make a point. "And what place do you have here to speak Seguin?"

"Stop Alex!" Ella snapped as she pushed between the two men. She could see Tyler was holding back his anger, an anger he was famous for once having. And Alex knew how to push buttons, it's what gave him an edge on the ice. Tyler shook his head and took a step back, giving space between the three of them. He hated how Alex and her whole family treated her after one mistake. It was like watching his early years play out all over again.

"I am home Alex. Pittsburgh IS my home now. And I have house guests to care for. So I suggest you leave and let me go about my life here, with my friends and my team who are supporting me far more than my family has in the past few years." Tyler watched as Ella spoke, before she turned her back on her brother and walked back to her car to grab her purse from the back seat where she had left it. Digging out her house key she turned back to face Tyler and nodded her head towards the front door. Tyler nodded and turned back to face Alex, crossing his arms over his chest and tapped his chin up towards the Subaru behind him. He watched as Alex shook his head and grabbed the handle of the car door and yanked it open.

"I'll tell Mom that you already had plans for the summer. At least call her some though." Alex called out dryly before climbing into the car shutting the door behind him. Tyler glanced over at his friend and watched all kinds of emotions cross her face as her brother drove down her driveway and then down the road. Tyler watched her from the corner of his eye as the car disappeared down the road. He was fortunate enough to have a family that still supported him even after everything in Boston. Even after up until a year and half ago when he got serious with Tiffany he bounced around from girl to bar each weekend not caring if he got too drunk and ruin all he worked so hard to build. Even now, with everything that has happened in the past 48 hours with Tiffany, he knew his family understood to a point why he didn't come home. Why he wanted see space. Sure they would check in on him and maybe suggest coming to visit but they wouldn't show up at his door and chastise him for his choice.

"Don't bother even bringing your bags in." Ella's voice broke him from his thoughts. He turned to fully face her but Ella was already heading for her door.

"Excuse me? Care to explain??" He asked, not fully understanding that statement at all. He had a split second fear that maybe she was going to send him back to Texas after what just happened. But seeming to sense his underlying fear, she stopped at the door after she unlocked it and gave him one of her famous looks.

"We're not staying here." She said with a flip of her hair over her shoulder. "If we really want to disappear, then we are going to the cabin." Tyler had only seen her cabin once since she bought it. It was in a small fishing town at the top corner of Erie county and the lake. It sat by the water with only 2 other cabins in sight across the lake. It was remote and quiet. "The three of us need a break from the world. So to the cabin we go!" Ella singsonged as she marches through her front door, leaving Tyler to stand with a smirk on his face. He shook his head as he followed through the now open door. Only Sidney Crosby and himself knew she bought the cabin up north, as a way to really disappear when life got too much in the city.

"Wait." He stopped, replaying what she had said in his head. Three of them. Three people. So someone else was spending the summer with Ella? "Three people?" He called out but Ella had already disappeared upstairs to her room. "Ella, who else is spending the summer with us?!" He yelled up the steps as he raced up them two at a time. "I've had enough surprises in the past 48 hours to last a lifetime." He grumbled as he reached the top step. He found Ella packed 2 large suitcases of clothes, bathroom needs, shoes, and other random things. She smiled up at him and just gave him a wink. With a groan He knew he wasn't getting his answers till they reached that cabin on the lake.

“Having kicked off in Atlanta, the US tour worked its way across the south to the West Coast, then looped back round towards Madison Square Garden. We had recorded the Long Beach Auditorium and the Forum with Eddie Kramer in 1972, and I’d managed to get hold of him again to record the upcoming Madison Square Garden shows in New York. It had also been decided that the Madison Square Garden shows would be filmed. Eddie was going to take care of the recording, doing the engineering in the truck while we were playing.

Meanwhile, touring on the West Coast, I had developed a tendon problem in my left ring finger, which is really important for doing string bending and finger tremolos. When I was playing the guitar, it felt as though I was getting an electric shock down the finger. I had to wear a wrist support when I wasn’t playing. It was an absolute nuisance of a thing to happen, because we were then working our way back towards the East Coast and our date with the silver screen.

There was no obvious cause. I didn’t want to think that it was some kind of repetitive strain injury, because if that were the case it could carry on being a problem. Instead I put it down to an incident when I had caught my finger trying to climb up a wire fence. But there was no sign of any external injury; it was definitely a problem within the hand.

That whole tour was literally touch and go, if you’ll excuse the pun, leading up to New York. I actually developed a technique to avoid using the finger. I thought, well, if Django Reinhardt could play with two fingers, I could probably play with three. I was struggling to do the best I could under the circumstances and trying to put out of my mind how fast those East Coast dates in Baltimore, Pittsburgh and then New York were approaching. But, mercifully, by the time we got to New York my finger was fine.

So that’s a little bit of extra drama that didn’t make it into the film. Everybody gets injured, and it’s not worth making a song and dance about it. I certainly wasn’t thinking about cancelling anything. I just had to think, OK, I need to overcome this the best way I can.”

Total Eclipse of the Trip

There are a lot of lessons to be learned when you book a train trip that spans 12 plus days, 6000 miles, and a lifetime of dreams. There are routes, maps, and timetables to study, and then it is cobbled together with towns, sights, and special interests along the way. Back in January PG had her double screen home office displaying Amtrak maps as we began piecing together, bit by bit, the dream trip, leaving time for connections and considering the optimum direction for each train, as well as daylight hours for the most scenic sections. Why go through the Sierras in the dark? And if you do have to make a connection, it’s best to do it where you don’t mind hanging a bit, just in case you miss that connection and are stuck there for hours (days). Much of this I learned from hours of study on the Amtrak Facebook pages (sad stories of families stranded in Idaho after rock slides and other such bring my dream down a notch why don’t ya stories). So I learned early that there were going to be glitches over the course of these 6000 miles and I was poised to pivot with aplomb—extra night here, a layover there, I had backup plans for every step of the way. However, I was NOT prepared to pivot before we even began.

That’s right. There we are getting on the train in Philly, headed to DC and from there on the overnight train to Chicago, where on Monday we would board the king of all trains, the whisperer of the wind, the Amtrak flagship—the amazing California Zephyr. Hearts pounding with excitement we step on that train and as the doors close I hear my phone ringing. With a quick dismissal upon seeing an 800 number I assure PG it is just the Red Cross in pursuit of my blood.

Well with that buildup you probably guessed that my blood is not really in that much demand. Indeed that was Mrs. Amtrak calling to put a cabash on our 3000 hours of planning and 6900 miles of traveling. The California Zephyr was CANCELLED for Monday due to high winds. High winds? A train can’t go through high winds? I can ride my BIKE on the beach in high winds. I am incensed. But Mrs. Amtrak insists that safety is her concern and apparently she considers 90 MPH winds to be beyond high, and in fact she thinks they are very very high, and she does not care about our 3000 hours of planning or disappointment. We can have a refund. A REFUND? There is no amount of money that will convince us to pack up and go home. Without delving into the minutia of details for how to rearrange 6000 miles, start to finish, suffice it to say Philly Girl went to work on her computer, and with the help of multiple Amtrak agents in person and on the phone, and in person agents on the phone with other agents, we flipped our trip upside down and backwards, first on to Montana, then back to Chicago on the Zephyr at the end of our trip (hopefully the winds have died down by next week).

So right now we are in 93% eclipse Chicago on this beautiful, sunny, warm spring day after a beautiful overnight ride. Did we sleep? Sort of. More on some of the logistics later. But it sure was a beautiful ride through beautiful Harper’s Ferry, WV, Pittsburgh, Sandusky (Hello Will and Missy), and into Chicago this morning.

Chicago Union Station is amazing. Built in 1925, it covers many city blocks and features beautiful design and art. We cashed in some Guest Reward points to gain access to the Metropolitan Lounge. This is a game changer on long trips offering an array of snacks, coffee, a marvelous shower (yes a shower, did you think there would be no showers?), and best of all, a place to stash our luggage while we explored Chicago and experienced the amazing eclipse as well as an amazing lunch. If you ever take the train to Chicago know that the station is a joy and is located in a beautiful area with lots to do and see in walking distance.

We’re getting ready to board the Empire Builder headed west now. While the trip we had planned got eclipsed, we’re taking it all as a sign to make the most of whatever surprises come next.

Album of the year?

I tend not to be someone who listens to entire albums, truth be told. However! Two favorite bands released new albums this year - The Dark from The Band CAMINO, and Red White and Bruised from The Midnight. I'll go with the latter as my favorite, even though I had somewhat mixed feelings on the live arrangements for a couple songs, because it came remarkably close to replicating the feeling of seeing them in concert, and I had so much fun driving with the windows down at night, shouting along to the lyrics in preparation for seeing them again with my best friend.

Talk about a new friend you made this year

I got really lucky with encouraging (and insightful) Lockwood & Co fandom buddies! And while we've technically been friends since last year, I got much closer with a church friend (formerly from Bible study) this year. Actually, currently awaiting pics from her soon, as it's baby day for her! We met up over the summer for a Bible study of our own while group was on break, and I love whenever we're on together for teaching the littles. She's one of those people who can strike up a conversation with anyone, and she radiates warmth and compassion everywhere she goes, I want to be more like her that way.

Favorite place you visited this year?

I did a lot of traveling this year - Milwaukee, Maine, Jim Thorpe, DC, Pittsburgh, Ohio, the Delaware beaches a few times, NYC... I'm sure I'm missing others, but anyway, my favorite has to be Acadia National Park in Maine. Specifically, our super rainy hike around Jordan Pond was just gorgeous. Definitely want to go back!

So I recently took an amazing trip by car driving ALL the way from Houston, Texas out to Pittsburgh to spend this year’s Anthrocon with friends! There’s a LOT I have to share about the time on the road getting here and I will probably have a lot to still share going forward.

Why did I drive all this way? Who the heck even am I? I’m Draycu, and this is my first post ever on Tumblr, (I’m pretty dang sure at least) halito!! I’m moving here from Twitter after all the, ~stuff~, going on lately. To answer that first question, I wanted to grow and learn what it’s like to take a road trip in 2023 across the USA. There’s been a lot of changes I’ve gone through in the past, five years now? Change in career, changes to my family, and changes to my own body and sense of self.

I really want to share my experiences as best I can, show folks what it’s like doing something wild like packing your car and leaving for a journey of more than a thousand miles across so many different states and geographical regions! Hehe, I get a bit nerdy when it comes to travel too, and seeing the Appalachien Mountains was truly a magical experience to me. I’ve been a gal who’s lived her entire life in a place that’s mostly flat and lacks a lot of trees around the major cities. Seeing the steep roads and views in Pittsburgh has been INCREDIBLE and BREATHTAKING!!

Texas is also burning up a lot; my mom let me know the ac stopped working shortly after I left home. I’m glad I’m staying safe, and my friends have been really wonderful letting me enjoy the AC weekend!

So, I figure I’ll post stuff here, blog about my journey back home and exploration of the east coast back through the Appalachiens and down to the gulf coast of Mexico. (I miss the ocean and beach front a LOT)

Y’all can ask me stuff, I don’t mind! I’m not sure how many folks might come across my tumblr, but halito, (hello in choctaw language) and yakoke (thank you) for taking a look!

Here’s some more photos from my time at AC, it was WILD! (The guy covered by a poncho and armadillos is one of the awesome folks letting me have a place to stay while visiting Pittsburgh! His name is Kassc, lol)
