A Second Chance

Hockey Practice

Jack's point of view:

Practice starts at 7 a.m., yet it's 5:14 and I'm wide awake. I get up and go to the bathroom.

I take my morning leak and wash my hands, I look up at the mirror over the sink and grunt.

"Are you kidding me?!"
Though I had iced the area where Hans slapped me, there was a dark show under my eye.
"Wicked bruise."
I say sarcastically as I get ready for practice.

I take a shower and shave my face. I get changed into thermal under clothes and wore my favorite blue hoodie.

I just grabbed a pair of random brown pants that were in a stack in my suitcase, not having had time yet to unpack and settle in.

I pack my practice clothes for ice skating, and I put my hockey gear in the bag too. It's 5:48 now. I'd better get going.

Right before I leave I notice a little complimentary basket in the desk near the door.

I quickly peak at it and see a notepad and a pen attached to it, among other things. I bite my lip as I hesitantly take them out.

I put the pen to the paper and write a little note for Elsa.
'Hey Elsa,
Can't wait till practice today, and the dinner at my place afterward.
Jack'

I slip the note in the crease of her door so when she opens the door the note will fall in front of her.

I smirk and make my way to my car out in front of the complex.

Couch gave me a company car to drive around in, probably till I get my own car.

I get in and start the car, I turn the radio on and a Norse song starts to play. I just shrug and drive on to the ice rink.

I make it there in literally 4 minutes, the complex in ridiculously close to the ice rink.
'Next time I'll just walk' I think to myself.

I go inside and couch is already there on the bench with a cup of coffee in his hand.

I walk up to him and wave hello.
"Hi, sir. What are we doing today?"

He stands up and puts his coffee down.
"We're going to have a practice game, so go put all of your gear on."

I nod and walk to the locker room. I get my gear on and put on the team's jersey. It's a seal on the front with red lining and a navy blue background.

By the time I finish getting changed, the rest of the team had a arrived and were changing.

As I make my way out of the locker room Hans comes in with that usual smug smile of his.

How people don't see his real personality I don't know, maybe he's just that good at hiding it.

I glare up at him and he purposely bumps his shoulder on mine.

I roll my eyes and walk out to the benches. I put my skates on and warm up on the ice.

No one brought their helmets so I through mine to the sideline and went on with my warm ups.

I skate over to the first guy to come out.
"Hey, I'm Jack."

He nods and smiles at me. He grabs my hand and shakes it.

"I'm Otto. Heil og sæl."
He said with a smile and let go of my hand.

"Heil... I'm sorry, I don't understand."
I said to him a bit embarrassed that I still hadn't learned Norse very well.

"Oh, my badness. 'Heil og Sæl.' It means 'healthy and happy'. It's old Norse, an old greeting during WW2. I'm an old soul, probably why I'm named Otto, after my grandfather."
He said as he fixed his gloves.

"Oh, that's cool."
I said smiling at him, he seemed like a good guy unlike Hans.

"Do you know what we'll be doing today? Couch said a practice game but, I don't know maybe I'm nervous about later."
I told him as I messed with the bottom of my jersey, a habit of mine that happens when I'm nervous.

"What happens later?"
He asked grinning at me.

"I have my first ice skating practice.. with this girl a like."
I said remembering Elsa and smiling to myself.

Otto chuckled and playfully punched my shoulder.
"Wow, only been here one day, and already got a girl in your sights!"
He said jokingly, we both chuckled.
"Who's the girl?"

I don't know why but I felt like I could thrust him and that he could be my friend.
"Promise not to tell?"
I ask a bit nervous.

I nods his head and smirks
"Yes, of course my friend."

I smirk back and chuckle
"Ok, bud. Her name is Elsa."

I went ahead and told him thinking
'There's no way he knows which girl I'm talking about. There's probably loads of girls in this town named Elsa.'

His eyebrows rise and he leans closer to me.
"The couch's daughter? Wow. Oh, but aren't you her new partner?"

My face turned crimson and I nod me head.

Then everyone from the team was changed and ready and on the ice, we got spilt into teams and I was on Kristoff's and Otto's team.

The other side was Han's team and they wore red shirts over their jerseys.

Not two minutes into the game when I finally get the puck, Hans slams himself on me and pins me against the glass.

I hit the glass face first and when he got off me I felt my face ,from my nose down, get really warm.

I touch my chin and bring my hand back up, I see that I'm bleeding.

Everyone on the team stops what they're doing and they surround me. Hans pretends to care and be sorry but right when he turns to me he smirk and gives me a teasing wink.
I really do hate that guy.

Couch comes on the ice with his skates on and rushes to me. I get up and pinch my nose to stop the bleeding.

"Who did this? I've told you boys to not play so rough."
He said in a stern voice as he looked at my bleeding nose and turned back to the rest of the team.

Hans stepped forward
"I'm sorry sir. Are you hurt, Jack?"
He said it in such an innocent voice that I even believed he cared for a second.

I look over at Kristoff and Otto and they both roll their eyes at Hans.

Otto mouths to me
'It's all a lie'

How can they be the only ones who see through his disguise.

I look at couch and he looks at me. I shake my head trying to tell him it's okay and he turns to Hans furious.

Right when Couch was going to tell Hans off, I cut him off.
'It's okay couch, it was an accident. I'll just go clean up, its fine."

I can see the shocked look on Hans' and I smirk. Everyone turns around except Hans and I return the smug smile he gave me and flip him off as an extra.

He glares at me and I turn around and go to the locker room's bathroom. I wash my hands and take off my jersey.

The blood had bled through to my thermal undershirt and I took that one off too. Standing there shirtless I look down to where Hans hit me and the bruise has only gotten worse.

I hear the door open and brace myself for who ever it was that walked in.

Chapter ends there^
