Chapter 5

JULIE'S P.O.V

I slowly crept further toward Carl. The guys were looking at me mortified but didn't say anything. I knew what I was about to do would be dangerous, if my plan went pear shaped it would be either me or Averman that got hurt, but it was a chance I had to take. I held my breath and lunged forward pulling Carl's arm away from Averman, hoping and praying that I hadn't made him jab the knife slightly into Averman, I knocked his arm making the knife drop to the floor, where he immediately began reaching for it with his foot, realizing this, I swiftly kicked the knife further away before putting all my weight behind a punch to the jaw. He stumbled and I easily got another jab in. Before I knew it he was on the floor trying to roll away from my flying punches. All my anger was being taken out on him and I heard myself screaming that this punch was for Connie, this punch was for this and that punch was for that. Suddenly I felt myself being pulled up from atop him and being held back, tears where pouring down my cheeks, more out of anger than anything else.

"You sick bastard, she thought you were her friend, you could have killed her". I screamed just as a crowd of officers poured into the room. I wasn't sure how they had known to come here, but I learnt later, that when we all rushed out earlier, Ken had stayed back and called the cops before catching us up.

"I wish I had". He hissed as we all lunged forward at him, but were held back by the cops.

"You're not worth it. I wouldn't piss on you, if you were on fire. I hope to God you rot in jail for the rest of your life". I snapped as he was dragged away by the police.

Back in the guy's room, I paced the floor constantly. I was so angry, how could someone who classed himself a good friend of someone stab them. I know it would be really easy of me now to say that I had never really liked him, but it was true, I hadn't said anything because I didn't want to cause trouble or be totally wrong about him. And what was this about him loving her, but her not loving him? I suppose there was only Connie who could clear that one up.

"C'mon, we might as well go back to the hospital, we're only doing the same here as we would be there". Charlie stood as we all silently agreed with him.

When we got to the hospital, we asked to see Connie but were told that the doctor was with her at the moment and we could wait in the relatives room until the doctor had finished. Guy's parents had gone to let Connie's Gran know what had happened because they felt it was too impersonal to let her know by phone. After about 10 minutes the doctor appeared. We all knew he couldn't tell us anything as we weren't relatives but he could tell us a few details.

"Well I see Connie's very lucky to have friends like you guy's". He told us with a small smile. "In fact, she's bee asking for you".

"She awake"? I asked eagerly.

"Yes. She's still on a high dose of drugs and is a little drowsy but she is awake".

"Can we go and see her"? Guy asked.

"I don't see why not. Just don't tire her out and make sure she doesn't take the oxygen mask off for too long". He winked at us as he got up to leave.

"What, we can all go in together". Fulton asked.

"Sure, just keep it calm, but at the first sign of her being tired, leave ok". He said before leaving.

We all walked as slowly and quietly as we possibly could down the corridor to Connie's room. Looking through the little windows in the door, told us she was asleep. The machines, tubes and pipes remained but there weren't as many. We crept in and closed the door cautiously behind ourselves. I was amazed that even Averman managed to stay quiet, well quiet enough so as not to wake her and enough for us to hear each rasping breath. We must have been in there a good 5 minutes before her eyes slowly fluttered open.

"Hey". I whispered. "How you feeling"? I sat beside her.

"I'm not sure. I sorta hurt but I don't". She replied but her voice was as raspy as her breathing.

"It's probably just the pills your on". Guy told her.

"What do you remember Con's"? Charlie asked.

"I remember going to the rink to meet you. I was skating around when I thought I heard you. Only it wasn't you, he acme onto the ice, I can't remember what he was saying, but then I felt a sharp pain. And that's it". She said taking heavy breaths but removing her oxygen mask further down so it was around her neck..

We sat there, trying our hardest to act normally around her, but her vulnerability was hard to dismiss. All I wanted to do was hold her tight and protect her from the world. She was my little sister, but not the kind you hated, the kind that you shared your deepest secrets with, the kind you couldn't live without. After being with her for 20/30 minutes, she began drifting in and out of sleep, and it became obvious that she was tiring. We said our goodbyes and left her, happy in the knowledge that she was now awake. On our way out, we saw Guy's parents and Connie's Gran. We quickly filled them in on her condition, then left them to go visit with her.

That night, I didn't sleep fantastically, but I managed to get a little. I missed hearing Connie's steady breathing and the occasional murmur. The following morning I was greeted by the knocking on my door, I swung it open to find none other than Charlie stood there. Apparently the guys had talked last night, and decided that neither me or Connie were to go out without one of the guys present. I found this a little far fetched, but soon decided that it may be for the best, they were simply worrying about their 'little sisters' just as I had about Connie.

We spent most of the day at the hospital, going in to see Connie individually, Charlie seemed a little hesitant at first, I think he was feeling a little guilty as he had been the one she had supposed to be meeting. When it was my turn, I stepped in slowly. The oxygen mask had now been replaced with a small tube that ended just inside her nostril.

"Hey you". I smiled when I realised she was awake.

"Hey yourself". She smiled.

"So, how you doing"? I asked sitting next to her.

"It could be worse, I could be laid on a steel trolley ready to be put 6 foot under and let me tell you, blue isn't exactly my best colour". She giggled a little.

"Truthfully"? I saw past her strong exterior.

"I feel numb Jules, I don't know what to think. Part of me is saying get over it, but the other part is saying whoa hold on, you've just been stabbed by someone you thought was a friend. You know, you read about stuff like this all the time, but you never think its' gonna happen to you. Then I look at this". She lifted the bed clothes slightly to show me the dressings of her wound. "And think how lucky I am that he didn't aim two centimetres higher or lower or didn't push the knife in further".

"But he didn't and he can't get anywhere near you ever again". I tried comforting my friend. I talked to her a while longer, and I think I can truthfully say when I left her, she felt better and not as worried.

CHARLIE'S P.O.V

It was my turn to go in to see Connie, I was slightly nervous. I did feel a little guilty. I just kept thinking that maybe if I had gotten there that little bit more early, I'd have been able to stop this from happening. I hesitatingly headed into her room, on my entrance she began pulling herself into a slight sitting position, I immediately rushed to help her.

"Thanks". She smiled.

"Anytime". I smiled back.

"I don't just mean for that, I mean for everything".

"I didn't do anything".

"You found me didn't you. If you hadn't turned up when you did, I could have died".

"Yeah, but if I'd have gotten there earlier, I might have been able to stop him doing all this". I replied guiltily.

"The way I see it Charlie. Is yeah, if you'd gotten there earlier, you MIGHT have been able to stop this, but if you had, he'd have caught up with me sooner or later and probably in worse circumstances of which then no-one would have found me".

A week later, Connie was able to come home, though she went back to her parents house, who on hearing about Connie had rushed straight back home. Right at this moment though, I was supposed to be concentrating on practise, see Connie wasn't allowed to play for quite a while and we were trying to organise ourselves to cover for her absence.

"CONWAY". Orion yelled. "Concentrate". He told me. He had been more than slack this past week, knowing what we were all thinking. Carl had been put in a juvenile jail as Connie had given evidence and as well as the attack in his dorm room had given more than enough evidence to convict him. We had all been a little hesitant on stepping back out onto the ice, knowing this was where it had all happened. "TAKE 5". He suddenly shouted. Surprised by his actions I looked over at him, to see him giving Connie a huge hug.

We all rushed over to her and began trying to talk at her all at the same time. She didn't look exactly pleased to be back in the ice arena and we all knew how much courage it must have taken for her to come in here. She explained that in a week or so, she would be moving back into the dorms, however she wouldn't be able to play hockey with us. We all told her that she would just have to be our mascot.

Ok I'm gonna leave it there cause it hasn't gone exactly to plan and now I'm fed up with it. When I have more patience I might have a shot at fixing it lol. Anyways PLEASE R&R!!!!!
