Chapter 8 : Doctor's

Chapter 8

Later...

Nicole POV

"Wake up, sleepyhead. It's time to go home," I said, gently shaking Riker.

He rubbed his eyes and looked a little confused.

"How are you feeling?" I asked.

"My nose really hurts," he said, sitting up.

I took his hand and we joined the rest of his family. They were taking off their skates and stuff.

"How are you feeling?" His dad asked.

"Not good. I wanted to go home, but you made me stay here," he said, sounding super grumpy.

We all got in the car. Riker and I sat in the back. He leaned his head on my shoulder and cuddled into my side.

"Why couldn't you have driven me home and then come back to play?" Riker asked.

"Riker, it's a 30 minute drive home. It wasn't worth it," his dad said.

"Well it would've been worth it to me."

"You need to stop it with the attitude, or you're going to lose your phone."

Riker sighed and stopped talking. I don't blame him for being mad though. He doesn't feel good.

When we finally got home, Riker took my hand and brought me upstairs to his bedroom.

"Stay here. I'm getting pain relievers," he said, walking out the door.

I sat down on his bed to wait for him. He came back about a minute later with 2 pills and a glass of water. He sat down beside me and took them.

"Do you want to watch a movie with me?" Riker asked.

"Sure."

"Ok. I want to change into my pjs. You want to change into yours too and meet me back here in a few minutes?"

"Sure."

I went back to my house and changed, and then I climbed back into Riker's window. He was waiting for me in bed. I got into bed beside him.

He picked a movie on his laptop and hit play. He snuggled into my side and started watching it.

Later...

Riker POV

When mom got home from running errands, she came upstairs to see me. And I guess dad already told her what happened because she seemed concerned.

"Riker, what happened at hockey?" Mom asked.

I paused our movie.

"Rocky tripped me."

"Your poor nose!"

"I know. Don't touch it. I took some pain relievers for it a little while ago."

"I'll have the doctor take a look at that tomorrow as well."

"Ok. Can we please go back to watching our movie now?"

"Yes. I'll check on you later."

Mom left and I sighed. I hate when she interrupts. 

I laid my head against Nicole's shoulder. 

"You ok?" Nicole asked.

"Yeah. Just tired out, I guess..."

"Do you want to go to sleep?"

I sighed and shut my laptop.

"I'm sorry. I'm just exhausted," I said, meeting her eyes.
