"Move it a little to the right." Dakota tells me and Garrett.

I look at Garrett and see him glaring at Dakota as he holds onto the other side of the couch.

We both sigh before we move a little to the right. Again.

"Nah, go back." Evie tells us.

"Are you serious?" Garrett asks.

Taylor laughs at us as she sits on the loveseat that me and Garrett also brought up.

"Your friend slept with my friend, this is my payback." Dakota smiles as she grabs a chip out of the chip bag she was holding.

Garrett glares at me and I smile.

"Move back to the left." Evie says.

We move back to the left and look at them.

"Hm, what do you think?" Dakota asks Taylor.

Taylor smirks, oh god.

"Move it back to the right." She says.

"Okay, I'm done." Garrett says as he drops the couch.

I sigh as I stand up straight.

The girls laugh at us and I glare at them.

"That's abuse." Garrett groans as he tries to crack his back.

"I thought you had muscle." Taylor laughs.

"Shut up." Garrett says.

"I shall test the comfiness of this couch." I say as I fall down onto it.

"Same." Garrett says as he sits next to me.

"You guys are babies." Evie says.

"Am not." I tell her.

"I'm not but he is." Garrett says pointing to me.

I slap in the arm and he slaps me in the back of my head.

"Hey!" I yell.

Garrett laughs and I glare at him.

"So, who's gonna help us move in my dresser?" Evie says.

Me and Garrett groan in pain.

"You don't have a choice, Christopher." Dakota says.

I look at Garrett and see him glaring at me.

"Sorry, man." I say.

He sighs before we both get up.

~~~~~~~~~~

I sit on the bleachers' and watch the rest of the team do drills. I wanted to be out there with them but the doctor's said I had to take it slowly. Hockey would exhaust me, so I couldn't play, which sucked because it was the beginning of the season. It was killing me not to play.

Now I know how Brennen felt when he hurt his knee last season. This is painful, I might kill myself.

My phone goes, making me finally get my eyes off the team.

Dakota: you stopping by the bookstore?

I smile, I'd love to be there right now.

Me: hell yeah

I get up and make my way to my car. I get in and drive to the bookstore, I can't wait to see her. I finally get there and make my way inside, I smile when I see her organizing books on the shelves.
