Author's Note: I have had this story idea in my head for a while now and
finally got around to getting it written and finished. Go me! Anyway,
here it is. Please review, but no flames, they are just a waste of time
for everyone.
Chapter One: Everything is Going to be Okay (Part One)
They sat in the hospital waiting room. There had been no new news about their friend's condition and they were beginning to worry about him. His mother was pacing back and forth, biting her nails in an attempt to calm herself down. It had been nearly four hours, but the doctors had still left them in the dark.
The accident had taken place right after practice at the pond. Winter Break was just around the corner and the Ducks had wanted to get together to get ready for their last game before the end of their first semester of their senior year. It had been Charlie's idea to go to the pond. After multiple scrimmages, they had taken breaks and just fooled around, skating and racing on the ice. Innocent fun.
It was what happened afterward.
At one point someone looked down at their watch as the sun was setting. No one remembers who it was, because everything had become such a blur, but that one person called out to everyone and told them that it was getting late. Of course, no one wanted to leave at first, but they knew that they had school the next day and that they had better leave, less they wanted to be tired and cranky the next morning.
They all headed to the parking lot, even though most of the Ducks lived right around the corner and would be walking home. Their gear was packed into numerous cars, which they would get the next day at school. After saying their goodbyes, they got in their cars and drove away, while those who were walking left as well.
Connie asked Julie for a ride home.
It had been known for some time that something had happened between Connie and Guy, though no one was quite sure what it was. At first, the Ducks shrugged it off; after all, they were Connie and Guy, they were meant to be together. Give it a week or two and they would have made up and everything would have been back to normal with them.
But it had been over three weeks now and they were still apart. Guy told the Ducks not to worry, that maybe Connie just needed some space for a little while. They wanted to believe him, but they knew that Guy still cared for her so much. But, they listened to him and tried their best not to worry.
That night, Guy watched with a heavy heart as Connie got into Julie's car. He tried not to let it bother him, but the Ducks had been right, he did still care for her. He didn't know why she was being so distant. Two looming shadows stood behind him, interrupting his thoughts.
"See you at school tomorrow," Portman said s he moved in front of Guy and got into his truck.
Fulton patted Guy's shoulder. "I thought you told us not to worry? Looks like you are the one who needs to stop. But don't worry. I'm sure things will work themselves out. Everything is going to be okay."
Portman called out to Fulton to hurry it up, whereas Portman was going to drop Fulton off at home. Guy gave Fulton a reassuring smile and motioned him to get going. Watching his friend leave, Guy finished saying his goodbyes and climbed into his jeep and pulled out of the parking lot.
Driving seemed to calm his nerves, and he soon forgot about Connie all together. Though, he did remember what Fulton had said, about everything going to be okay.
And that was the last thing that he remembered as a large truck crashed into the driver's side of his jeep.
