"Wow," Was all Jesse said after the commotion died. Everyone sat quietly not really knowing what to say.
"This is all my fault." Gordon said quietly guilt written all over her face.
"It was an honest mistake, besides he'll be fine, right?" Charlie asked looking around for reassurance.
"Right," said surprisingly enough Jesse. He might not be the biggest fan of cake eater but Charlie was his best friend in this entire world, and he was worried. Besides not even a cake eater deserved to die like that.
"I hope so." Julie added for good measure. She looked as nervous as Gordon.
"Look lets just finish up, clean up the mess and chill out. No reason sitting around sweating it for the next couple of hours. Casey will call when they know anything and you know very well the hospitals take hours." Connie said leading the pack. Her nickname had always been Mama duck. She took care of every one.
"Yes Maim Mama Duck." Averman said getting everyone to chuckle.
They eventually wandered into the living room. The tv was on but no one was paying any attention to it. They were sitting and waiting. Every now and then some one would speak up, even crack a joke but the heavy silence would fall over them again. By midnight most ducks had fallen asleep around the living room. All but Gordon, Charlie, Jesse and Julie. The foursome sat silently blankly staring into space. Gordon was watching out the window from his seat on the couch.
"They're back." He said around four in the morning. Every one got up, Gordon walking down to meet them.
Adam walked in, Casey holding his one arm protectively. He looks tired and pale but all right. He smiled over at Charlie. Julie came over and gave him a huge hug.
"How ya feeling?" Charlie asked.
"Better, just tired. And a little hungry." He said with a chuckle.
"I'm so sorry Adam. I didn't mean to make you sick. And I never should have said all those things earlier. I was just frustrated with you. I'm sorry."
"It's alright. I know you didn't mean to kill me. Besides the bite I had was pretty good." Adam said smiling, "and don't apologize for what you said. You meant it, and I can't blame you. I was acting like a jerk today. So I guess I'm sorry. Thanks for waiting up you guys I'm really tired I think I'll head to bed if that's alright." He said looking over at Julie, Jess, and Charlie.
"Yea that's fine sweetheart." Casey said patting his back comfortingly.
He headed back to his room falling into his comfy bed. Falling asleep not bothering to take off his clothing.
Charlie woke up the next morning praying that things would be at least somewhat back to normal. Well maybe not back to normal but back to level of weirdness he had come to expect.
Opening my eyes I looked around for a couple of seconds re-orientating. I apparently fell asleep on the couch. The ducks were all spread out around the room most lying on one and other.
There was a knock at the door, and all Charlie did was groan. Ugh, I can't move, his body was cramped from sleeping twisted on the couch. Stretching out his legs he attempted to move to get the door but Jesse beat him too it.
"Thank you." Charlie said his voice cracking slightly.
"We both know that you lazy ass isn't moving." Jesse replied. He opened the door. "Hey Nick. You missed all the excitement." He said letting Nick in and finding his seat back on the floor.
"What are you talking about?" he asked grabbing a soda from the fridge and joining them in the living room.
"Bombay pulled an Einstein and sent Adam to the hospital."
"Peanut allergy right?" Nick said knowing Adam way too well. Charlie smiled; Adam and Nick were exactly like him and Jesse. They knew everything about each other.
"Yep." Jesse replied simply still stretching.
Nick got up looking mildly concerned, "I'm going see if he's awake."
"Look out, he might bite." Jesse called after him.
(ADAM POV) Things slowly got back to, well "normal". I went to school where I sat silently, went to practice were I played silently, then I went home and hibernated in my bedroom and when I was forced to be out with the family I would sit silently. I forgave Gordon about the whole dinner thing even thought he still apologized from time to time. Granted we still weren't getting along very well.
Not me and Gordon and Casey, not me in the team. Heck Charlie and me even had our first fight over the bathroom. But I could handle all that. Ashley would be in here in less than four day six hours and forty-five minutes. I could hardly contain myself.
By Wednesday I could talk of nothing but Ashley.
"Can't you talk about anything else?" Julie asked me. We were sitting in our math class; I could tell I was driving her insane.
"Fine, how are you?"
"Good." She replied shortly.
"Find anyone to take you to homecoming?" I asked making conversation.
"Yes, Scooter the Varsity goalie asked me."
"Ohh, do you like him?" I asked curiously. Wait why did I care who took the cat lady?
"No. That would never work; he's like my best friend. He just wanted to go and his girlfriend had to work."
"Oh, well I'm sure you'll have fun." I said, "I know I will, Ashley is such a blast to be with."
"Ugh not again." Julie said as I went off about my Ash.
"I'll stop." I said teasingly.
"Thank you." Julie said sweetly.
I was a total wreck by practice on Friday. Ashley was going to be here today, and I had no idea when.
I sucked the entire practice. My mind just kept wandering to stuff like what we'd do, where'd we go. Ashley has never been to Minnesota. She's been a LA girl her entire life and I couldn't wait to show her around. The whistle blew and we all froze looking over at Orion. "Banks get over here." He yelled from the side. I skated over I went to say something like yeah Coach, or what's up but before I could get that out I saw her.
Ashley was standing right there. Her white blonde hair had grown out, but her sparkling brown eyes were the exactly same.
"Ashley." I said beaming ear to ear, she came up to me and grabbed me in a tight hug, which very quickly turned into a kiss.
"Alright alright that's enough of that." Coach Orion said laughing slightly, "Get out there and finish your scrimmages." I smiled at her skating back to center ice.
(JULIE POV) Julie felt literally ill the moment they leaned in for the lip lick, and the feeling never faded through the rest of the practice. Ashley is the kind of girl any guy would want. She has perfect long straight blonde hair. Which I bet is from a bottle. She had the perfect smile, I'm sure that was a huge orthodontist bill. And to top it off she had to have had at least ten thousand dollars of plastic surgery, I mean that body just doesn't happen, she was like an overgrown Barbie. Ugh and she was wearing a pink low cut shirt and pants she may have to have surgically removed. Of course every guy on the team mouth is on the ice,
"Coach they need to hit the showers now." I yelled over to Bombay.
"Make that a nice cold one," Connie added skating over to me giggling.
"Alright, practice is over," Bombay finally agreed to let us go. She had cheered from the sidelines. How pathetic is that hockey is not about cheerleaders.
"Hi, I'm Ashley." She said perkily when Connie and me walked by.
"Hi, I'm Connie and this is Julie." Connie said knowing I may very well lose it at her.
"I think it is so cool there are girls on the team. I'm all in for the girls kick butt movement."
"Thanks," Julie actually spoke.
"Now girl to girl, has Adam been good when I wasn't around?" she asked looking over at them.
"Are you serious? Girl Adam would not even think of touching another girl, not when you're an overgrown dream sized Barbie." I blurted out before thinking. Connie immediately cracked up laughing Ashley letting out a little giggle.
"Your so sweet."
Ugh now I couldn't even hate the girl. She was way to nice. How freaking annoying! I rolled my eyes and hurried into the locker room stripping off my pads. Adam was out of that locker room in less than eight seconds.
"Damn is she a hottie. Maybe I should start hangin out with Banks get me a little honey?" Dean Portman said.
"You're such a pig," Connie said giving him a glare.
"She is fine," Louis admitted from the other bench. "Yea," Came a chorus from the rest of the guys including Guy, Connie hitting him in the back of the head immediately afterward.
