The Taxi Driver

Chapter 10

She slowly opened her eyes. "HM?'" She groaned. The guys rushed over to her. "Where am I?" She asked. "We are so sorry. But on the other hand, we told you not to come." Rocky pointed out. "Ow.." He groaned. Ross then glared at him. He sighed. "Look we're really sorry."He said to her. She smiled.Rocky rolled his eyes and walked away. "How did this even happen?" She asked. He chuckled. "Well you see...." He said avoiding looking in her eyes. She sat up on the couch and watched him pace. He brought over the ice pack.She groaned. He chuckled. He then sat next to her holding the ice pack. She smiled.

"So I was going for our winning goal when out of no where I heard a clash. Before I continue, what is the last thing you remember?" He asked her. She thought top it. "Last thing I remember was getting a drink and then cheering you guys on. I was cheering and then some guy knocked on the glass and called me over. Me being my curious self went over to see what he wanted. When I got there, him and his friends started to pull at me and tease. The I seen you and Rocky skating over and then black, I'm out." She said trying to remember from the best that she could. He nodded. "Well me and Rocky skated over when we seen that something was not right. The one guy said something I didn't like so I guess I acted on instinct." He said. She gave him a hard look.

He looked away. "You know how I feel when you fight someone." She said taking the cold ice away from her face."Hey. Rocky didn't like it either so...." He trailed off. "This isn't about Rocky. This is about you."She said a bit angry. "Calm down. Next thing we know the guys were hitting people with their hockey sticks and Rocky and I swung at the same time but you were between us and we kinda, knocked you out cold." He said looking away completely."You did what now?"She asked. "Yeah. That's why I was apologizing." He frowned. She took a deep breath. "What am I gonna do with the two of you?" She asked. "Um....Forgive us?"He asked. She raised her eyebrow and look at him. "Rocky?"She called and looked for him. "Where did he go?"She asked. He shrugged. He then realized something. "That.." She looked at him. "You say something?" She asked. He shook his head.

He smiled and just stared out into space. "What are you looking at?"She asked him. He sighed lovingly. "Outside. Its such a beautiful day today." He smiled. She scrunched up her face. "NO. Its not working. Stop changing the subject."She said getting up then. He looked at her. "Huh? What? Is it not?"He asked. She growled. "You guys are unbelievable." She said crossing her arms. "Hey. Like Rocky said, we wouldn't be in this mess in the first place if you would've stayed home like he asked you to." He said. She looked at him with disbelief. "What did you just say?"She asked. The words rang in his head. It wasn't because she didn't hear him. She asked because she wanted to see if he was man enough to say it again.

"I said we wouldn't be in this mess if you would've stayed home like asked you to do in the first place." He repeated. She glared at him for a brief moment. He looked at her also. Her eyes softened. "Is that how you feel?" She asked. "Uh...No." He said raising his eyebrow a little bit. "Wow. Okay." She said starting to walk away. "Laura wait. I'm sorry. That was a bit harsh of me to say." He said. She rolled her eyes. "Where is Rocky?" She asked looking around. "He's around here somewhere." He answered. She shook her head. "Yeah. We have to exchange a few words." She said with a mad look. She crossed her arms. "Where's Rebecca?" He asked. "She's visiting family." She replied bluntly. He sighed. He felt the air grow awkward.

She shifted uncomfortably. "Will you talk to me please?" He asked her. She looked at him for a moment. "I don't know. Maybe you'll tell me to stay quiet then I don't listen and get hurt again." She said. He sighed. "Laura. Don't say that." He said. She rolled her eyes. "Oh again with the telling me what to do. I'm an adult. Thank you." She said. She crossed her arms. "What is it with you guys? Do you guys think I can't look after myself? That I can't handle myself? Last time I checked it was the other way around." She said. He looked at her with an eyebrow raised.

"Exactly what are you trying to say?" He asked. "Nothing. I'm simply stating the obvious." She said. He knew there was a hidden message behind those words. "Laura. I'm sorry." He frowned. Her eyes started to twinkle a little. He blushed a little and looked away. She frowned. "What's wrong with us?" She asked him. He chuckled and coughed. "I won't knock any more jaws out as long as you promise not to baby me." He said. She pouted her lip. He looked at her weirdly. "What?" He asked.

"Look at your lip." She said. He crossed his eyes and pouted his lip. "What's wrong with it?" He asked. She giggled. "What? I don't see what's wrong?" He said unamused. She was though. She started to giggle uncontrollably. "Do I have something on my face?" He asked. She shook her head as she laughed. "Wohoo...I can't breathe. Stop it!" She laughed. He smirked and made funny faces throwing her into a laughing fit. He smiled and just adored her. "What?" She asked. "Look at these." He said doing jazz hands. "Would you like to lose a few of those fingers?" She asked. "Is that a threat?" He asked. "I don't know. Is it?" She giggled. He chuckled. "Alright. Break it up. Mr.Marano wouldn't like all this contact." Rocky broke between the pair. She glared at him.

He shrugged. Her glare then became deadly. "I wonder how he would feel after I tell him you wacked me in the head with a hockey stick." She said crossing her arms and staring him down. "You see....What had happened was....." He said nervously. Ross smirked as Rocky pleaded for a little help.
