Haley's POV
"And then Patrick Rosson sneezed on me." I retold the disgusting story from the graduation practice that had taken place only under an hour ago. Charlie followed behind me as my feet prodded the steps.
I pushed open the door to my bedroom as Charlie's eyes scanned over everything. I rolled my eyes at him as he came in front of where I was sitting. He leaned down and held my waist, bringing me to my knees so I was at the same level as him. I wrapped my arms around his neck as I looked at him.
"What?"
"Just kiss me."
I obeyed his command and pushed our lips together. We pulled away and looked at each other, pushing our foreheads together.
"That was nice." He chuckled.
"And you're corny." I laughed, playfully pushing him back.
"Way to ruin a perfectly good moment, Rhodes."
I nodded and leaned in to place one last kiss to his lips. I smiled then lightly pulled away.
"Why don't we watch some TV now and then I'll order pizza later?" I suggested.
"Sounds like a plan." He smiled.
I grabbed the remote from my bedside table and clicked the TV on.
Charlie scooted to the head board as I laid my head on his shoulder. As I did that he swung his arm around me.
I felt so comfortable and safe with him. It felt right yet so foreign to me.

Charlie's POV
I deeply breathed in and out while tracing circles on Haley's back.
She fell asleep about 30 minutes ago so I just stayed up and kept watching TV.
My phone began to vibrate on the wooden side table next to the bed.
I quickly grabbed it to shut if off before it woke up Haley.
I opened the message and it was from Wes, my close friend and teammate.

From Wes:
We need you down at the ice. Emergency team meeting. Went to your house earlie but you weren't there. Where are you?
+
To Wes:
I'm with Haley for tonight. What's the emergency?
+
My phone buzzed again after I sent the text.
+
From Wes:
It's a big emergency. Get down here now.
+
I sighed before typing my response.
+
To Wes:
Fine. On my way.
+
I gently slipped from Haley's tiny body and grabbed my keys, jacket, and phone.
Before I walked out of Haley's room I lightly kissed her head.
She stirred a little at my touch but kept sleeping.
I swear I'm going to kill those guys for making me leave her.
