I curled into the bed, my mind not stopping as I tossed and turned. I finally got out, padding down the hall and lightly knocking on Luke's door.

"Hmm?" He asked.

"Can I sleep here tonight?" I asked quietly.

I heard him move, then pat the bed beside him. I walked in and slipped under the covers, sighing as the warmth enveloped me.

"Luke, I wanna try something ok?" I asked quietly.

"What?"

I curled into his chest like I used to, putting my head on his chest.

"Good night Luke." I whispered.

--

I woke up stretching and checking my surroundings. Luke was still passed out, his arm loosely wrapped around my waist. I shifted slightly, finally feeling ok for the first time in months.

"You ok?" His voice was husky.

"Mhm. Go back to sleep." I replied, closing my eyes again.

--

I had everything ready, even dished out onto plates when Luke walked downstairs. I stayed quiet, listening to the music play in the background.

"What's this for?" He asked.

"Trusting me not to freak out last night." I replied, carrying everything easily to the table.

He laughed, a nice sound to hear instantly calming my nerves. I ate quickly, and then cleared everything, climbing the stairs to take a shower.

--

I put on my favourite pair of jeans, and a sheer blue shirt, keeping my hair natural and adding some make up before walking down the stairs.

Left for the arena, took your skates too

-Luke

I smiled, grabbed my keys and walked out the door.

--

I walked into the box, swinging my feet and watching the guys on the ice. Tye skated up and iced me a smirk playing on his lips.

"And what did we do to deserve you to be you again?" He asked.

"I feel better." I told him.

"Can I?" He asked, opening his arms.

I laughed, hugging him and being held as he skated around the arena, spinning in a circle.

"I'm gonna throw up." I laughed, standing on the toes of his skates.

"Whoa, is the normal Natasha back?" Adam asked, icing me.

"Oh my god, that's cold." I shivered.

"You should have a really shirt on." He teased.

"What's wrong with this one?" I asked.

"Your bra is blue too." Tye whispered in my ear.

"Very observant." I laughed.

"The girl is back." Brayden laughed.

"Get lost Schenn." I replied.

"Definitely back." The three guys laughed.

"Do any of you know where Luke is? I think he took my skates to be sharpened." I said, looking down at my boots.

"Just looks like we are gonna have to share mine." Tye laughed, taking us around the rink.
