Ice Breaker.. Can I Get With You?

Green Light.

Alexanders point of view.

Today was the first game I was going to miss. I'm upset about that. I have never missed a damn game before in my life. 

At least me and Kiana were going to be okay and discharged today. I couldn't wait to go back to my place and sleep in my own bed. I looked over and saw Kiana was sleeping she must be so worn out. My shoulder was killing me but I couldn't tell anyone. Payton had felt so bad this happened and blamed herself. I don't know why she did though. It's not like she was the one driving drunk.

Brodie and Tyler had said they's stop by before the game. I was sort of happy about that. Payton and Jenna had told Kiana that they were going to attend that families funeral. Payton had  bought the surviver child so many gifts and Jenna had picked out some clothes for her. They were really kind that way. Kiana and me had pitched in to buy the girl a little monkey stuffed animal. I was pulled out of my thoughts by the door opening.

"Alex you up?" Tyler said walking up and hitting my bad shoulder.

"OUCH! Fuck man watch where you hit!" I growled as pain shot through my shoulder and abdomin area.

"Sorry man I forgot." Tyler said sheepishly. I nodded and looked at Kiana to make sure she hadn't woke up. She was still asleep. Thank god.

"Hey so you upset about missing the game today?" Brodie asked sitting down on my right side.

"Don't remind me.. I have never missed a game. EVER" I said my face in my hands. I felt crappy and sad. I had to stay away from hockey for about a month  or something. I was to pissed to listen to the doctor.  

"Hey Brodie it's almost 12 we better head'r out." Tyler said in a failure attempt to whisper. 

"Oh yeah. Later Alex we'll tell you how the game goes next time we come." Brodie said as he walked out. I nodded. 

"Hey babe was that Brodie and Tyler?" Kiana asked wiping her eyes. 

"Yeah they had to get to the game." I said a frown on my face. The nurse came in before Kiana could reply. 

"Hello Mr. Heywood, Miss. James." She said looking at Kiana and back at me" I am here to take out the IV's and then you guys can be on your way." 

"Thanks." Kiana said icily. I gave her a reassuring look. Someone is jealous I thought. 

Just as the nurse was taking out my IV Payton and Jenna walked in their eyes red and puffy. 

"Hey guys.. how was the funeral?" Kiana asked saddness dripping in her voice. It made my heart sink seeing Kiana sad and even seeing my two best friends upset hurt. I wished so many times I could protect them from sadness. I loved all three girls and never want to see them hurt. 

"It was like any other funeral... sad.. the girl that died with her parents used to go to school with us it was that Lacy girl."Jenna said as her eyes welled up with tears again. The nurse made her way over to Kiana and started on her IV.

"I take you girls will be taking Mr.Heywood and Miss.James home?" the nurse asked Payton. Payton nodded and the nurse walked out of the room after finishing with Kiana. 

"That nurse was such a bitch." Kiana said rolling her eyes.

"Why? She seemed nice?" Payton asked confusion written all over her face.

"Because she flirted with me and Kiana didn't like it." I said smiling at Kiana.

"That's not it!" Kiana said blushing."It was because she was rude and ignorant to me." 

"Sure babe. If that's what you say." I winked at her and she smiled.

"Okay well if you guys are done being all mushy and cute can we go?" Payton asked rolling her eyes. 

"Yeah let's go to my house. Payton you are taking care of these two at my place. I don't need to be worried that they are hurt or in pain with no one around." Jenna stated. Now it was my turn to roll my eyes. 

"Yeah sure I guess I can watch them. I've always wanted to watch kids." Payton said smiling at me and Kiana.

"Hey! I am no kid. I am 18 and graduating." I said with mock anger. 

They all laughed and got up to leave. I got up with much difficulty and pain. This was going to be a very long month or so. 

Kiana and me were in the back seat as Jenna and Payton were up front. Jenna was driving to pick up our meds from the drug place. We got themedication and went back to Jennas place. We arrived in a matter of minutes because Jenna drove like a crazy woman! We walked in and I walked up to the guest bedroom with Kiana in tow. I sat on the bed and pulled Kiana into my good side. 

"Hey guys I am here to give you your meds, orders from the boss." Payton said as she handed me and Kiana the pills we are forced to take. 

"I don't want those pills they are icky." Kiana said with a disgusted look on her face. She looked so adorable. We took our pills and I counted down until I felt tired. Those pills really knocked you out, but they took the pain away that's for sure. Kiana's breathing had slowed to a steady pace so I knew she was sleeping. I found it impossible to fight my sleep any more.

------------------------------------

I shot up when I heard screaming. I looked down and saw Kiana was crying and screaming but her eyes were closed. Jenna and Payton burst through the door. I looked at the clock it was 7pm. We had been sleeping for about 3 hours. The game was just starting. Good luck boys I thought to myself. 

Payton and Jenna were now shaking Kiana to wake her up. After about a million shakes Kiana opened her eyes and burst into sobs. She hugged me tight and Jenna and Payton started rubbing her back to sooth her and calm her down. I kissed the top of her head to assure her everything was going to be okay. 

"Kiana everything is okay your okay. Alex,Payton and me are here. Shhhh it's okay" Jenna said her motherly instinct must have been kicking in I had never seen Jenna so serious. 

"Baby girl it's okay stop crying we are here. Nothing is going to hurt you. I promise." Payton whispered to Kiana. Kiana shook her head and looked at them. Tears streaks down her cheeks I felt so bad.

"Babe are you okay?" I asked her.

"Y-yeah I jsut had a nightmare is all. Can we go to the hockey game? I don't want to make you guys miss it. "Kiana whispered. We all nodded our heads and got up and got ready. 

We got in Jennas truck and drove to the arena. We got there and the game was just starting. We found our seats by the boys bench. Tyler and Brodie were on the bench watching the game. 

"Hey! Brodie, Tyler," they looked at me and their faces lit up. " Make sure we beat these dumbasses. Remember they are on Avenger territory!" I yelled at the boys. So far we were losing by 3 but they could get it back. 

They got this.
