"I'm going to kill her." I state as we sit on the tour bus.

Rikki laughs and his grip gets tighter around my waist.

"For starters, you're on crutches." He says and kisses my shoulder. "And you're concussed." He kisses my other shoulder.

"I don't care." I state and he laughs again.

"That's why you're sitting on my lap and Bobby hid your crutches." Rikki says.

I turn and I wrap my arms around his neck. I kiss his nose and he laughs.

"What's bothering you, Drewy?" Rikki wonders and kisses my cheek.

"What so bad happened in Patrick Swayze's career that he accepted the role on Dirty Dancing." I say and he laughs.

"Snow will kill you for talking like that." Rikki says and I quickly press my lips to his. "You're a horrible liar. Now tell me what's really eating you."

"Do you think Sloane and Ferris Bueller ever get hitched?" I wonder and he pulls back a bit.

"Drew." He says seriously.

"Fine." I mumble. "I'm worried. I've never had surgery before and they say this injury is pretty serious." I say and I look down.

"You're scared you won't be that big scary rugby player anymore?" Rikki wonders.

"Nah, I'm  scared that I won't be anything anymore." I admit. "Rugby is the only thing I've ever done half good."

"Drew." He picks up my face. "You're the smartest person I know. Baby, you've got a masters degree in world history from NYU. As for that surgery, you'll be fine I promise."

"They say I'll be out a year." I say and he smiles.

"What's a year? 365 days? If you think about it that's not a lot." Rikki says. "Angel, it's a year. It could be a lot worse."

"Yeah if this surgery doesn't go right--"

"If. Baby, that's a small chance." He tells me and his fingers tangle in my hair. "But at least I'll have my good luck charm for a while."

Rikki leans in and kisses me. At least I have him. I have a pretty great family.

"Jesus Christ! I left and you were doing the same thing!" A voice says from behind me.

When I turn back I see that stupid blond New Yorker I've been friends with for years and the little blonde that tired to run out on us. Rikki folds his hands around me and leaves on my lap. I look at her then quickly look away, what did we do?

"We're not that easy to get rid of, Kiddo." I say after a long time.

"Part of me knew this was going to happen." Snowy admits with a laugh.
