On the Ice (Rewriting)

Part 16

My mom comes home a little bit later to find Jayce lying down on the couch asleep and Olly and I were watching a movie on the floor with a bowl of popcorn in the middle.

" You didn't tell me you were having friends over...." Mom says to me.

I gesture towards Jayce who was covered in bandages and bruises. Mom rushes over to Jayce to check on him but I stop her.

Before my mom had found out she was pregnant with me she was in nursing school, but she put that on hold for me when she did find out. Through my years I have picked up a little of what my mom learned in nursing school. After she had me though, she found a different passion which was art, and now she's a successful artist.

" I've already taken care of it.....with Olly's help of course, and Jayce said he could do his own stitches." I say to her.

" What the hell happened to him?!" She asks her eyes focused on Jayce.

" He'll explain it to you when he wakes." I say.

My mom nods " Ill call his Mom maybe- "

" No don't do that!" I exclaim.

" Alright." She says " Well at least it's a Friday and we don't have anything going on. "

A wave of silence washes over us and Mom speaks up.

" How was Hockey practice?" She asks us.

" It was good." Olly says.

I raise a brow.

" No it wasn't! I didn't get to do ANYTHING!" I exclaim.

" But didn't I say that I would help you?" Olly asks.

I slump down in my chair " It was still embarrassing.."

My mom smiles " Well with a little bit of help from Olly you'll be a kick-ass hockey player in no time."

" Sure....." I say sarcastically.

My mom rolls her eyes and is about to walk out of the room but then turns around " Olly will you be staying? I'm taking it Jayce will be."

Olly looks over towards me giving me a can I? Look and I nod.

" Sure. "

" Do you need to call your parents?"

" Nah, there on a cruise."

" Uh alright." My mom says and faces her attention towards me " No funny business. Actually why don't you invite someone else over to?"

" Why would I do that?" I ask.

" Well I just thought you'd be more comfortable with a girl in the room." She states and leaves.

My faces turns bright red and Olly laughs.

" Stop laughing its not that funny!"

" What are you talking about!? Your expression was hilarious!" He exclaims.

I punch his shoulder " Ow!" He says.

" Well you deserve it! Now if you excuse me I'm going to call a friend." I say, grab my phone when I feel a hand wrap around my wrist.

I turn around. Olly is holding my wrist with and serious look in his eyes but then his mouth starts to form a grin.

" You have popcorn in your hair." He says trying not to laugh and pointing to the piece of popcorn.

" Is that all?" I ask taking the popcorn out of my hair and flocking it at him.

" Yup. " he says and lets go of my wrist and winks.

I roll my eyes and walk into the kitchen to dial the number. About a couple of minutes later the doorbell rings and I go to open it.

" I'm here!"
