Rylan Fowler | Adam Banks

Late Night Skate| 4

Rylans POV

After the game that we obviously won I headed back to the change room and didn't say anything to anyone.  I couldn't cry, not infront of all of the boys they would make fun of me.  Right after I was done I did a little speed walk thing out of the change rooms.  At this point I just wanted to go home and cry myself to sleep.  I knew my life was over, well my hockey life but I'd rather play for the Ducks then not play at all.  I mean hockey was my life what would I do instead play darts, no that's boring.  

I made it to Mr. Banks's car and just waited by the trunk for Adam to come.  For some reason he always took so long it's not like they're summoning a demon or something, or well I hope not.  After waiting for a while he finally came out of the arena and we loaded th etrunk with all of gear and headed in the car.  I just looked out the window trying to not think about me and Adam transfering to the ducks.  A few small tears left my eyes but I tried to rub them away but they kept coming and coming and they didn't stop.  Adam eventually noticed and patted my shoulder to get my attention.   I turned to him, he noticed my puffy eyes that were a light red colour from all of the tears that were leaving them.  

" Hey Ry it's goiong to be ok, alright we have each other right.  We'll be fine ok" He told me while enbracing me into a nice warm hug.  Sure we both smelt like sweat but at this point I didn't care at this point.  I felt safe with Adam I knew that he was my bestfriend and he would never leave me.

" Ok" I said in a shaky voice with half of my voice muffled from my head being on his shoulder.

Once we got back to Adam's house I didn't want to go home and Mr. ans Mrs. Banks said it was ok if I stayed for however long I wanted.  I really love the Banks family they're like a second family to me.  I mean I love my normal family and all but they're not home that often because my dad travels a lot for work and my mom comes home pretty late sometimes, so I stay with the Banks a lot.  

Mr. Banks grabbed my bag and placed on teh ground for me to pick up and put it on the porch.  I brought it up on to the porch and sat down on the bench while I waited for Adam to bring his bag, which took him a surprisingly took him a long time to do.  Whe he finally brougth his bag up on to the porch we headed inside.  Mrs. Banks greeted us in the kitchen with a few snacks.

" Rylan, sweetie why the long face?" She asked pacing me a glass of water.

I didn't respond, instead I just looked down at my feet.

" Do you want me to tell her?" Adam whispered in my ear.  I noded my head to tell him that he could.  " Well today before the game started Coach called my and Rylan over to see him.  And once we got there it turns out that we are supposed to be playing for the Ducks, adn if we don't our team will have to forfeit the rest of the season."

The moment he finished saying that my eyes filled with even more tears and I just burst out into tears.  Adam pulled me into a big hug , I could already feel his shirt start to become wet from my tears.  I don't think he cared though because he just held me tighter and didn't let me go.

" Oh sweetie it'll be alright you and Adam will have each other.  You migth not have Mcgill and Larsson but you have each other," Mrs. Banks told me while I let go of Adam.  She wipped my tears away.  " Here why don't you go shower and change into some fresh clothes and come back down once you've finished, alright" 

I just nodded and headed upstairs to use their shower.
