Charlie's POV
A month later
"I just need some help. Screw it, I'm making the desperate call." Adam says "to who, Alex?" Alex says "Gordon gave me a number to call if I needed something out here. Hockey nine one one." Adam looks at the number when she shows him it. Adam says "that's the fans relations number to the ducks."

Alex says "now I see why he gave me that number." Adam says "what was your goal with this number anyway?" She says "let the ducks meet the coach and he can inspire them or something because they're kind of down on their luck." Adam says "well, if you have any trouble, give me a call" smiling. She says "trust me I will." Adam and I go down to the lounge and the ducks are down there.

I smile saying "hey, ducks" and they all sadly say "hey, Charlie." I sit on the counter saying "guys, don't be so sad. It's summer." Koob says "we're on a losing streak, we haven't won yet. We're gonna be sad." I say "anything I can do to help?" Jace says "that's it, I need help." I say "what can I help you with?" He says "the stupid glitch in my shot! I want to win!" I say "suit up, I'll meet you out there" and he jogs off to his room. Adam says "I'm happy that people like you." I smile saying "ok" and we chuckle. Coach Cole says "no PDA" as he walks through and I say "he's not even touching me" chuckling.

Adam says "I'll be at the weight room with my team if you need me and can't find me." I say "ok" and I go out to the ice with my gear to meet Jace. I drop a puck in front of him saying "take your shot" just watching every movement and where the puck goes. He goes to hit it, pauses, then slaps it not in even the general direction it's supposed to go.

I say "how did you get a glitch that bad?" He sighs saying "I hit a puck into my fucking goal in the last three seconds against Canada in front of a shit ton of scouts." I say "that's shit, man. I got you covered. Just pass the puck to me. When I say hit it, you're gonna take your best shot. Don't even think about it cause I'm not watching, I don't care if you make it, we can worry about that later."

We play pass, doing ridiculous pass moves and I say "hit it!" He goes to shoot it, has the same glitch but a bit more accuracy than before. I say "having coach Cole as your father must be stressful." Jace says "he's very intense" quietly. I say "don't worry about him. He's just trying to help you" us passing it back and forth and I say "have any pets?" Jace says "I don't. I'm thinking about stealing your dog though." I say "well, glad I lock my door at night then" and we chuckle. I pass it back to him saying "hit it" and he snaps it into the goal. I say "holy shit! Yes! That's what I'm talking about!" We high five and he hugs me, us just laughing our asses off.

I say "do it again" passing him the puck. He still has the glitch but he makes it in. I say "don't hesitate! Just do it, Jace." I pass the puck to him saying "again" and he shoots it, no hesitation. I say "that's what I'm talking about" high fiving him. The bell rings for curfew and I say "go to your dorm and get good sleep. Schedule is pretty intense for tomorrow" winking at him and we go back to the dorm after taking our skates off.

I go to Adams room after going to my room to not see my dog. I knock and he opens the door with no shirt saying "sup?" I say "don't sup me" going into his room and laying on his bed after petting my dog, Ducky. My phone rings and I answer saying "hello?" A voice says "I'm looking for a Charlie Conway?" I say "speaking?" He says "guess who?" I say "I couldn't" chuckling and he says "it's Russ, dude! Russ Tyler." I say "holy shit, sup dude?" He says "I'm good, heard you and the cake eater are a thing."

I chuckle saying "mmm, just a little bit." Russ says "I'm still living in California if you want to get smoked by my puck again." I chuckle saying "I'll send Adam to play for me. I'm too old to play against you." There's a knock on my door and Adam gets up and answer it. He talks to Alex for a bit and he nods at her then calls someone. I just catch up with Russ about where we've been and whatnot. Adam says "hey, Russ, get your guys together and ready to play schoolyard with a young hockey team. They need to learn what real hockey is." Russ says "I'll get my guys together. Have fun with Banksy, Conway."

I say "I'll text you the details, bye." Adam says "I have a plan. I'll take care of you, Alex. Don't worry about it, just be ready and have your team ready to get the hell out of here by nine tomorrow morning." She smiles and nods. He lays down and I say "what's your plan, babe?" He says "have my team play some school yard pick for the day. Loosen them up, teach them real hockey, not I'm gonna work you hockey. They're gonna work themselves tomorrow. We are going to Honda center for the ducks to meet coach. They need to hear something new from someone they look up to."

I say "do you think Evan would want to go?" Adam says "I could take anyone to skate at Honda center anytime I want to. He can meet some ducks at this party the ducks are throwing for me." I chuckle saying "I believe you" pecking his lips.
