Prompt: Writer's Choice, Over
Character: Sidney Crosby
Author: Me!
Rating: G
A/N: So I've been working on this prompt table and I've been doing horrendously. But I've finished this one, so I'd like to share with you all. And I know I'm known for not being a big lover of the Kid here, but this song just screams Crosby.
Everybody's watching you
Breathing in your every move
Look around when the world is empty
Look around if you're guilty
Everybody's after you
All wait in line to touch you
Look around if you ever miss me
Look around cause it kills me
~Over, Sugarcult
Sidney decided that there was nothing anyone could do to stop him. Stop him from playing, from being the best. But he shudders to think of what will happen when he wants to end it.
Because he doesn't want this. He doesn't want to be responsible, be a role model. He wants to be free. Everyone says that freedom comes at a price, and Sidney thinks he's already paid it.
But as much as he wants to leave, (he backtracks in his mind) he knows he can't, because at one point he wanted all of this, and he'd be a fool to give it up now.
At the same time, Sidney doesn't want to live up to this name that he's created for himself. It's too hard, too much, too fast. And he knows that he'll carry this with him, not until the end of his career, but the end of his life.
He wishes he could just say it's all over, but he can't . . . ever.
