*FLASHBACK TROUGHOUT CHILDHOOD*
"She skates down the ice, puck on stick. Oh and she dodges Quinn. Yikes that was rough. Now she's after Luke, eyes forward as she gets closer. Can she do it folks? Pay attention!"
"Jack shut up!" I yell never taking my eyes off the goal. Luke is waiting for me, he drew the short stick and was forced to play goalie. Quinn and Jack tied him up with old pillows before shoving a jersey over his chest.
He looks like a little marshmallow as he glides back and forth on his skates. Once I'm at the perfect distance and I can no longer feel Quinn on my heels I turn my shoulders and power up for as hard of a slapshot as I'm willing to take on poor Luke. He pops up thinking that's where I'm going but I quickly angle my shoulder's down and slide the puck right through his legs.
The back of the net flutters as the puck comes into contact. Luke looks at me with a frustrated glare as I just scored the game winning goal for Jack and I's team. Sure enough said teammate comes flying across the ice and drags me into a bear hug. The two of us almost collapse as the force of his body nearly knocks me off balance.
"She did it again! Sunny has beaten team losers once again!" Jack is cheering at the top of his lungs and I know that if he keeps it up Ellen is going to come out here swinging again.
"Fuck off Jack you guys literally lost last game."
Jack lets out a horrified gasp, "Quintin Jerome. Mom would kick your butt if she heard you say that."
"Oh grow up you little shit mom isn't even here."
"What did you say?"
All four of us jump out of our skin as Ellen leans over the makeshift wall of the outdoor rink. None of us had even heard her coming over Jack and Quinn's arguing.
Luke being the youngest child that he is points between his two brothers, "It was all them mom. I didn't say a bad word."
Ellen looks over to me as if to confirm that I didn't say anything either. Throwing my hands up I shake my head, "You know I didn't say it."
She flashes me a knowing smile, i'm the angel in her eyes and although I don't do it often I play that card in times like these. It's hard trying to keep up with the boys and not get roped into their wrong doings.
"Quinn, Jack i'll talk to you boys in a minute. It's getting late and Lennon needs to go home you guys have school tomorrow."
Throwing my head back in a groan I know better than to protest but I still don't want to go home. Jack shares my sentiment but voices his much louder.
