jack taps my shoulder causing me to turn around and face him.
"you have got to be fucking kidding me." smoke could practically be seen coming out of his ears.
"what?" i question.
"i'm gonna ask this one time. don't try to deny it because it's been...
you know, i thought i would be bonding with my brothers this christmas break but no. they are all sitting their lazy asses on the couch playing nhl while i lay in bed. its that weird week between christmas and new years and i have barely left my room all day so i decide, why not go skating? before i go and ask my brothers, i put warm clothes and a bit of makeup on since i know they will wanna leave as soon as i suggest it. quickly finishing the second french braid on my head, i grab my earmuffs and head downstairs.
"guys" i say in a cheery voice coming down the stairs, only to be greeted by dry answers. "okay rude. i was just gonna say that we should go skating! i thought it might be fun but if you guys dont want to then whateve-"
all three boys interupt me, agreeing and scrambling to turn off the tv and grab their equiptment. roughly 5 minutes later we are already in the car and heading off to the odr (out door rink). some shitty rapper is turned off when we park and make our way to the benches to get our skates on.
"lukeyyyyy" i drag out the nickname he lets only us call him since he hates it.
"hm" he turns to me after standing up, ready to go.
"can you please tie your older sisters skates? my bones are too brittle" i smile at him as he rolls his eyes, mumbling something about me just being too lazy to do it myself. once he finishes up, we walk over to the ice where jack and quinn are already skating around.
now, you would think that since all three of my brothers are talented hockey players and my parents both played hockey that i would be good at it too, right? wrong. i can barely even skate on my own, forget about stopping on skates. this leads to most of my time at the odr being spent just watching or doing very slow laps along the boards. honestly, i dont mind at all. just spending these moments with my brothers are so nice before we all separate to do our own things in a few years. its kinda sad to think, we all may be on different sides on the country, maybe even the continent when these boys get drafted. for now, we must live in the moment.
"kris!" all three boys call for me as i complete my 6th lap around the ice.
"come skate around with us!" quinn yells, waving me over. i slowly make my way to them, and they give me an extra stick. we stand in a square passing a puck around and just chat. these are my favourite thing to do with them, i feel like we always end up talking about something that brings us closer. "im getting kinda chilly, you guys wanna leave now?" quinn asks and we all agree, heading back to the benches and then to the car.
hot chocolate in hand, we walk back into our house, laughing at lukes whip cream mustache. about ten minutes after, dinner is ready and for the first time in a while, all 6 of us sit around our dining room table.
"you guys seem like you had fun" mom smiles at us after we finish talking about our day and we clean up before ending the night off with a few card games. i think some people dont realize how tough it is to be away from your family for so long. even just being away from quinn is hard so i cant imagine what its gonna be like when i go off to college.
after taking a quick body shower, i lay comfortably in my bed just as i did this morning, except the great day we had is what im thinking about right now. god i miss this.
