Chapter 21:
Disclaimer: I do not own the Mighty Ducks and I am not getting paid to do this, oh so sad that is the last time for a while.
Thanks guys, I wasn't going to update b/c I am yeah leaving in two hours lets hope I can type fast... but you know I can't leave it off for like 2 months where I did LOL.
Adam's POV:
I woke up in the hospital the next morning, my head was pounding and so did my wrist. I was really a mess– what else was new though. The night before was a total blur. I remembered the game but after that thinks seemed surreal. I think Charlie, Connie and Guy had come to visit with Lily. But who knows I could have been dreaming.
" Good morning Mr. Banks." A doctor said as he entered the room. I don't think I had ever met him before.
" Morning" I answered.
" How are you feeling this morning?" he asked as he started reading my chart.
" Alright I guess" I said.
" Good, good" he said and he now had started bending my arm back and forth to check my wrist. Than he shown a bright light in my eyes. " Everything looks good, but just to be careful I have you scheduled for an MRI this afternoon. And if everything checks out you can go home tonight" he said.
" Okay" I responded. I knew I would have to go home not back to my dorm room. And that I would have to stay home for a while: something that I was not looking forward too.
" I'll be back later, get some rest" he said as he exited the room. As soon as he left my parents came in.
" Honey how are you?" my mother asked before she kissed me on the forehead.
" I'm fine" I said.
" How can you be fine? Your out for at least a month." my dad said angrily. The anger wasn't directed at me necessarily but I still expected it.
" Philip this is not the time to talk about hockey" my mother said glaring at him.
"This is important, when is the time?" he said glaring back at her, and she ignored him.
" Adam honey we have to get to a brunch at the club. Feel better. We will be back later to pick you up." she said kissing me again and dragging my father out of the room, before he could say anything else.
I turned on the TV and started to watch something random, until Connie, Charlie, Guy, Russ, Averman and Lily walked in.
" Hey man you feel better"Charlie said.
" Because last night you were a little..." Guy said.
" Out of it" Connie finished and started laughing.
" Was I? I don't even remember." I said.
" Wow man how hard did you hit your head? Memory loss at such a young age is not good." Averman joked.
" Well I'm good now. Don't worry." I said.
" So when you getting out of this joint?" Russ asked.
" Tonight hopefully" I answered.
" That's good. You coming back to school?" Connie asked.
" I doubt it. I will probably have to stay home for a week and sit around for a week doing nothing." I responded.
" Damn I will miss ya man" Charlie said.
"No you'll be fine. I am sure of it" I said.
" Yeah he has Linda to take care of him after all" Averman said.
" Shut up" Charlie joked and slapped him on the arm.
" Don't get mad at the guy for telling the truth" Connie said.
" Well lets change the subject shall we." Charlie said desperate to get off the topic.
" Last time I checked none of you guys had a car so how did you get here?" I asked fulfilling Charlie's wish of changing the subject.
" Well your friend here volunteered her car." Russ said motioning to Lily.
" You didn't" I said laughing.
" I did" she said.
" Just a little hint don't stop for food on the way home." I advised her.
" Why not? I might be hungry or something." Averman said.
" Well you remember the time we stopped for McDonalds, you left milkshake and french fries all over the seat." I reminded them.
" Well its hard to eat in a moving car." Connie said.
" Don't worry about it I already forgave you idiots." I said.
" Good so next time we make a mess we will be forgiven, good to know." Charlie said.
" Not to sound to Goldberg like, but speaking of food I am starving." Connie said.
" Yeah me too and I am really in the mood for some hospital food." Russ said.
" Yeah well Banksie feel better" Connie said as they headed out the door.
" See you soon, Lily you coming" Charlie said as he followed them out the door.
" No I'm not hungry. I will meet you there in a few." she said and sat down on my bed, and Charlie headed down the hall.
" So how are you?" she asked me.
" Good and how are you? You look tired?" I said noticing dark circles under her eyes.
" Don't change the subject. I'm not the one who is in the hospital." she said.
" Well I am really fine. I'll probably be out of hockey for a while though. I guess that sucks." I responded.
" You guess? Are you just saying that because your supposed to be saying that?" She responded I guess noticing the tone in my voice.
" Yeah maybe. I just won't miss playing with those Warrior idiots. And then I get some time off I haven't had that for a while." I said. It was true missing a month insured me that I would only have to play with those guys for a few weeks in the playoffs if they got there. And next year the Ducks would be moved up to Varsity, so things would be back to normal.
" Nice, what are you gonna do with all that free time?" she asked.
" I don't know there's this girl I would like to spend a lot of time with." I joked.
" Hmm. That is one lucky girl." She responded laughing, and kissed me gently on the lips.
" Sorry about our date last night." I said remembering that I was supposed to meet her after the game.
" Wow you really don't remember anything, you already apologized." she said laughing.
" I did?" I said.
" Yeah and you had nothing to apologize for the first time so don't worry about it." she said.
" Well that's good." I said
" I guess I should go. Your friends are probably waiting." she said getting up.
" Maybe" I said even though I didn't really want her to go, visiting hours were probably over anyway so she would have to leave eventually.
" I should..." she said and I kissed her.
" Your friends are..." she said between kisses.
" Now I have to go" she said pulling away from me and started walking to the door. But she ran back and gave me a quick kiss.
" Bye. Call me when you get home if you can." she said standing in the doorway.
" Of course I will try. Bye." I said.
" Feel better" she said blowing me a kiss than turning and leaving.
Ok that's the end. I will write a sequel when I get back.
