Four Rockstars, The Rugby Play & The Kiddo

Chapter 20: Drew

"I still think if I leave now I can make the game in France." I say as Rikki drives to the hospital.

"You said the same thing about Spain last week and Hungary two weeks ago." He says with a smile. "Baby, you need this surgery."

"I think I could play." I admit and he laughs.

"I'd love to see you play rugby on your crutches." Rikki laughs. "Look on the bright side, after tomorrow you won't need crutches anymore just the brace."

"That's true." I sigh as we pull up to the hospital.

"Drewy, you'll be fine. I swear." Rikki says as we get out of the car. "You'll wake up and everything will be just fine."

"Until the doctor fucks up and chops my leg off." I state and Rikki laughs.

"I don't think they teach that at doctor school." He admits and I smile.

We get sighed in and they prep me for surgery. Rikki promises that he'll be here when I get out and when I get out my knee with me just fine and my ACL will be reattached. Rikki also tells me that he loves me no matter what.

On and off for nearly three years, Jesus Christ. I don't want to picture life without him, he drives me insane some times but I wouldn't part with it. I mean I drive him insane to so it evens out.

Rikki

"Scared?" Bobby wonders and he sits down beside me.

"No." I say too simply and he laughs.

"You and Drew both suck at lying." He laughs and I shrug. "What's going on? You know as well as I do that she'll be okay."

"Yeah that's the idea. I know she's worried that she can't play after this and what if she can't? It'll crush her." I say and he frowns.

"I don't know what to tell you, Rik. I guess it's something you'll have to deal with, right?" Bobby says and I nod. "Hope for the best but prepare for the worse."

"Yeah, right. I mean it could be worse. CC isn't playing tonsil hockey with my daughter." I point to CC and Snowy who are making out intensely in the corner and Bobby scowls.

"Yeah, you could always be me."  He sighs.  "Something else is bugging you."

"What the hell are you talking about now?" I wonder and he smiles.

"You're thinking about something else, I know you are." Bobby says while looking at Snow. "And if you're thinking about what I think you're thinking about, I do think you and Drew are perfect for each other."

How'd he....

"Yes. I think you should ask her to marry you." Bobby laughs.

"I don't know how you do that, man." I admit and he laughs.

"It's a gift." Bobby says and points at CC. "And the one with his tongue down my daughter's throat is the one you've gotta talk to."

"Don't remind me." I sigh.

Drew is his baby sister. He'll kill me.
