Rylan Fowler | Adam Banks

Finals Part One| 11

Rylan's POV

I woke up the next day to Adam shaking me really hard.

Rylan get up we have our finals game today get up and get ready, we're leaving in 45 minutes," he said to me after he was done shaking me.

" Ok, OK!  I'm up you can stop that now!" I said slapping his arm.

I got up and took a look around, the basement was a MESS.  There were pop bottles and wrappers everywhere, crums covered the ground and there was a sock on the ceiling fan.  It was probably Averman's, I picked up some of the garbege and put it in a giant garbage bag and brought it all upstairs.  I went to my room and changed into some jeans and put on an old Dallas Stars t-shirt, I threw my hair into two dutch braids and headed downstairs.  I grabbed a banna and quickly ate it and grabbed my gear to put in the Banks's trunk.  I came back inside to see that Adam was still in his pajamas watching t.v.

" Dude aren't you going to get ready we have to leave in five minutes," I said to him filling up my water bottle.

" Yeah, about that we still have an hour before we have to leave.  I just wanted to wake you up to try and rush youand see your reaction," he said with a huge grin on his face.

" You little-" my words were cut short by me running around to try and catch him.  I eventually cornered him and tackled him to the ground.

" Ow ow, Rylan stop it, ow fuc-" he said but his words were cut of my me inturupting him.

" Hey!  No swearing, it's not very nice," I say flicking his forhead.

" What says you, you swear all the time why can't I?" he said getting up from the floor.

" I don't know why can't you swear?" I respond to him, he just gave me a confused look.

" Whatever, I'm going to get dressed now," as he left the room to get ready.

I waited on the couch until Adam got back and we headed to the arena.  Once we got there we went throught the entrance and ran into Mgcill and Larsson.  I thought to myself just great, I quickly walked past them to our dressing room to get ready but it didn't work, they saw me.

" Hey there pip sqeak ready to get destroyed?" Mcgill said patting my shoulder a little to hard that I leaned to one side.

" Back the FUCK off Mcgill," Adam said really emphasising fuck, he grabbed Mcgill's collar and shoved him out of the way and pushed me forward to keep walking.

We got to our dressing room and started to get ready, the whole time I felt my stomach in knots and my hands fiddling with anything.  My leg wouldn't stop bouncing up and down, the rest of the tema started to notice and all asked if I was ok, I just said yes.  But I could tell that Charlie and Adam could tell that I wasn't, " Hey Rylan you sure you're alright?" Charlie asked sitting beside me.

" Yeah, why wouldn't I be, I've never been better," I said plastering a fake smile on my face.

Adam knew straight away that I wasn't alright, " Rylan, you're nervous it's ok you could've told us," he said rubbing my back.

I could feel my nreathing start to hitch it felt as if I couldn't get as much oxygen into my body,  I tried breathing but each time the breathe was just as short as the other.  I knew at the moment I was having a panic attack, Charlie bolted out of the dressing room to the bench to grab my water bottle.  Adam stayed with me and was trying to comfort me, I kept trying to copy his breathing but it wasn't working.  I started to shake more and I didn't know why, I mean I was scared to play angainst the Hawks because the weren't going to play nice to any of us.
