Raura: "The Dream Team"

Hospitals and Decisions

PREVIOUSLY:

(In the hospital........)

Laura: (runs in and sees the team in the lobby) Ben where is he?
Ben:........
Laura: Ben where is he?
Ben:........
Laura: Someone fucking answer me where's my boyfriend where's Jake?
Ben: Laur I'm so sorry.
Laura: (tears in her eyes) no your lying he didn't die. Coach this is all your fault you prick. If I had been there we wouldn't have been in this situation you mother fucking asshole. I hope you die in your sleep and you rot in hell.
Coach: Marano..
Laura: no don't Marano me I quit I'm done......

(In the hotel lobby with the team)

Coach: Marano I know your hurt but don't go and make any stupid decisions now.
Laura: you should be happy coach you only put up with me for my hockey skills. So why would u care. If I were you I would be jumping up and down and getting ready to throw a party right now.
Coach: Marano look
Laura: no coach you look I'm done Jake he's I can't even say it. Do u know what it feels like to know the person u loved the most in this world is dead. (Starts crying)
Ben: ohh Laura Jakes not dead.
Laura: he's not
Ben: no but he's in really bad shape he's in surgery right now.
Laura: oh thank the fucking lord above he's not dead.
Ben: I know right the "dream team" would be nothing with out him.
Laura: ha yeah. Shit I would be nothing with out him he keeps me going everyday.
Ben: Ik Laur he's my best friend I don't know what I would do without him either.
Laura: what time did he go into surgery?
Ben: right around the time I called u. So about 8:30.
Laura: (crying) Ben what if he doesn't make it.
Ben: he'll make it Laur. He won't leave you. He knows that. He loves you more than anything. You know what he told me?
Laura: what?
Ben: he wants to pop the question?
Laura: (crying harder) he does
Ben: yeah.
Laura: oh my god Ben I have to see him this is all my fault.
Ben: how is it your fault?
Laura: because if I hadn't suggest we go to a bar after the NSU game then I would have played today and Jake wouldn't have got in that fight and we wouldn't be in this situation. It's always my fault. Everything always comes back to me somehow.
Ben: oh Laura this isn't your fault. Don't think that for one second it's our prick of a coaches fault. And I hope he heard that.
Laura: I just want my dad but he's not here and I don't know what I would do if Jake died to.
Ben: Ik u miss your dad Laur but he's always looking after u from heaven.
Laura: you believe in heaven?
Ben: I do. I didn't know your dad but from what you've told me he's definitely in heaven looking down on you and on Jake and making sure he pulls through the surgery and comes back to u because he knows u need him.
Laura: thanks Ben I needed that. I like to think there's a heaven to and if there is that my dads up there looking down on us.
Ben: he is Laur now take a nap and I'll wake u when the doc comes out.
Laura: what if he dies Ben. I'll die to (puts her head on Ben's shoulder and falls asleep)
Ben: he will be fine he has to be Laur because if not I'll die to.

(2 hours later...........)

Ben: Laur I'm going to get some food from the cafeteria u want something?
Laura: no I'm not hungry but I would love a coffee.
Ben: Laur u have to eat.
Laura: Ben seriously I'm not hungry I just want coffee. Please don't fight with me right now I don't need it.
Ben: okay. Straight black right.
Laura: yes please.
Ben: okay(leaves)
Coach: Marano can I talk to u?
Laura: what do u want I thought u would have left by now like all the others?
Coach: no
Laura: well sit down don't hover over me its fucking weird. Now what the fuck do u want?
Coach: Marano u have to much talent to quit over this
Laura: r u fucking seriously u asshole "this" is serious and your fault. So if he dies (tears up) it's all on u buddy because it would have never happened if I would have been there. So don't u dare sit there and tell me to just walk out of here so I can just deal with your bullshit. I love Jake and he's worth more than any hockey team.
Coach: wow I didn't think u had it in u
Laura: what in me?
Coach: to choose someone over hockey. Because I mean u left you own blood for hockey and......
Laura: don't fucking drag my family into this. That's none of your fucking business and they weren't worth my time then and they still aren't. Now it's just hockey, Jake, and my friends.
Coach: see u put hockey before Jake and he's lying on an operating table fighting for his life. Spoiler alert he can die.
Laura: don't fucking say that he's not going to die. I told u I'm done with hockey u douchbag. Give it up I'm not coming back.
Coach: why r u so closed off Laura and rude and arrogant and cocky.
Laura: I don't have time for this. My boyfriends in that operating room and could die I'm not about to fight with u just go.
Coach: Marano
Laura: Coach
Coach: I want to know.
Laura:.............
Coach: well
Laura: let's just say someone died and I was never the same again.
Coach: oh okay so your boyfriend died now u don't want your new one to I get it. Its history repeating itself. What a shame.
Laura: no dickhead my dad died not my boyfriend I had a boyfriend in New York and he was a real dick and in all honesty if he died I wouldn't care. But the past is the past and I've moved on to Jake. I haven't gotten over my fathers death yet so if Jake died I don't know wtf I would do I would most likely kill myself.
Coach: wow Marano that was deep. Did u think that one up yourself.
Laura: don't ever say that again my dad did die and it was the worst 8 years of my life. I became an alcoholic and a drug addict I didn't care about anyone or anything. My grades dropped tremendously it's a wonder I even got into college but then this asshole sitting in front of me came along. I don't even know why I'm explaining myself to u.
Coach: I don't know if I should take that as a compliment or an insult
Laura: I started to get my anger out by playing hockey and u saw me and thought I was good enough. Then I met Ben and Jake and they saved me from myself and Jake oh my god if he dies I will go back to my old ways. Now here I am. Having a heart to heart with one of the people I hate the most while the person I love the most is on an operating table fighting for his life.
Coach: well I don't know what to say
Laura: that's a first
Coach: you shouldn't be talking
Ben: sorry it took so long there was a huge line.
Laura: it's okay.
Ben: wtf r u doing here?
Coach: Ben
Ben: coach she doesn't need this right now. Her boyfriend and our best friend is fighting for his life now if u would please leave
Laura: thanks Ben
Coach: before I go I just wanted to tell u that I'm sorry Marano u to Butler.(leaves)

(1 hour later.........)

Laura: I'm getting really worried Ben he's been in there for 8 hours what if he died
Ben: it's going to be okay Laur he will be fine.
Laura: I'm so nervous Ben I can't lose him I love him with every fiber of my being.
Ben: Ik Laur and he knows that to.
Doc: Gilinsky
Laura: (runs to doctor) is he okay? Where is he?
Ben: is he going to be okay doctor?
Doc: well Mr. Gilinsky............
