Four Rockstars, The Rugby Play & The Kiddo

Chapter 27: Drew

"Drew what the hell are you doing?" CC wonders and Rikki laughs.

"Told you someone would notice, Drew." He tells me.

"What are you talking about?" I ask and CC motions to my knee.

"There's supposed to be a giant brace." He says then turns to Rikki. "You're okaying this?"

"No but I had this argument in the car on the way over here." Rikki sighs and CC turns back to me.

"Where's your brace?" He wonders.

"In the car." I state and CC grabs Rikki's car keys from him.

"I'm gonna go get it." He states and walks out.

I sigh and lean against the counter of Bobby's kitchen. Rikki comes over and wraps his arms around me and kisses my forehead.

"Baby, why are you trying to rush getting better?" He wonders and kisses my cheek. "It isn't gonna do you any good."

"Because I'm going stir crazy, Rikki. I've only been off for a month what happens for the next eleven?" I wonder and he pulls me closer to him.

"Drew." Rikki starts.

"I think I could play again at the four month mark." I say and he laughs.

"You're stubborn enough you might but I'm not gonna let ya." He kisses my nose. "I love you too much to let you kill yourself."

I open my mouth to argue but CC walks back in and throws my brace at me. I put the brace on again but scowl. Rikki and CC both know I hate this damn thing. Bret and Bobby walk into the kitchen as I straighten back up.

We shoot the shit for a while. CC shortly disappears and I'm betting that he was going to see Snow. CC had broken it off with Slut McWhoreBag and now has to apologize to Snow and hope to god she taken him back. Snowy is the best thing to happen to CC in a long time. 

After a while we go back into the living room and drink and watch tv. We start talking about weird injuries we've had over the years. But I think I'd have this won.

"Give me your hand." I tell Bret and he laughs.

"Your girlfriend is hitting on me Rik." He says and I shake my head.

"There's not enough alcohol in the world." I state and Rikki laughs. "Just give me your fucking hand."

Bret sighs but gives me his hand. I put it on my left elbow and extend my arm. My elbow pops like it always does and Bret jumps and scoots away from me.

"What the fuck??" He questions and I laugh.

"I broke my elbow when I was thirteen." I explain.

"Okay, I've gotta feel this." Bobby speaks up and walks over to me.

Both he and Rikki go through the same process and both jump.

"Why?" Bobby questions and squirms in his arm chair.

"I fell." I say quickly and Rikki laughs.

"That's sweet but what actually happened?" He wonders.

"My cousin Mary pushed me out of a tree. She bawled for hours." I explain.

That's about the time we hear screaming coming from the upstairs and something getting smashed. My guess is Snow threw something at CC. The four of us look up at the ceiling.

"I hope that wasn't CC hands." Bret admits. "We need him to play."
