Chapter 4
Guy's POV
"$10,000!" Averman said loudly as everyone quieted him. We had called the entire former Mighty Ducks team, old and new, to meet in a small room at the hospital to talk about Dillion's condition. Connie just sat next to me, stone faced, like she had nothing to say.
"Guys, the reason Connie and I called you all here tonight is that, we don't have $10,000 so we want to know if you all have any ideas..." I said taking Connie's hand in mine. I glaced around the room mostly everyone was looking down and not speaking. Charlie was seated in the back, looking right at me...I gave him a mild death glare before continuing to scan the room. Jesse was the only one still looking at me,
"Jess, Do you have an idea?" I asked. He nodded a little,
"Well, check this...All the ducks are in town for that reunion we were suppost to have this weekend..."
"Right.." I said following along.
"Well, I know you and Cake-eater play pro now but the rest of us haven't been on the ice since high school or before...Wouldn't it be something if we all laced em up one last time? You know for Dillion..." Jesse asked looking around. Everyone seemed to be nodding.
"Guys, I know you want to help but.." Connie started before I cut her off,
"Jesse, that's a great idea.." I said as he smiled. Connie looked at me with an unreadable expression on her face.
"Yeah, we can charge like $10 bucks a ticket and like sell stuff, Charlie you took over Hans' shop, we can make some t-shirts and stuff...We can all help.." Banks said as Julie smiled,
"You know I want to help but.." Julie smiled rubbing her stomach...
"Jules, you can sell the stuff at the game and sign autographs and stuff..." Goldberg said happy to be the only goalie again. Julie smiled a little smug,
"Gee Goldberg, that's nice of you..." She said glaring at him.
"What'd I do?" Goldberg asked in a defensive tone. Julie just glared at him, I could feel a mood swing coming on...
"Look, everyone can help in one way or another.." I said quickly defusing the situation.
"Right..." Banks agreed. We sat around the table to start handing out assignments as Connie pushed her chair back and walked out, still looking at me as if I betrayed her...What was wrong now? I asked myself...
Connie's POV
I burst into tears leaving the room, A Hockey Game? I questioned as I made my way down the hall. I looked through the glass to where my son still lay.
"Oh, god... is it gonna be like this forever?" I thought grabbing my jacket...before I left the hospital.
20 minutes later I sat infront of the old brick house I called home for 18 years of my life.
"How did I end up back here?" I asked myself looking up at what was my old window. I remembered when Guy would crawl up the tree next to it and knock on my window in the middle of the night and we'de just spend the night in each other's arms. Why wasn't life that simple anymore? Oh, right, I had kids...I thought climbing the front steps and ringing the door bell. Vensela the maid answered the door smiling politely at me...she didn't speak any english so she just nodded and smiled usually. The hall seemed bigger than I remembered it, maybe that was because I was all grow up now and a lot taller, my heels clicked on the marble floor...
"What do you think you're doing here?" I heard a female voice come from the top of the grand stairs. I turned,
"Mom..." I said a little suprised.
"Don't call me that!" She said annoyed, coming down the stairs.
"Mom, you can't just say you don't have a daughter anymore..." I said following her into the study where Dad sat reading the newspaper. He looked up as I entered.
"Dad..." I said as he stood,
"Constance...What are you doing here?" He asked. I felt maybe there was hope, Dad had gotten softer over the years, letting Mom run all the family affairs, including personally kicking me out 5 and 1/2 years earlier. I originally stayed so long because Dad wouldn't let her.
"Dad, I need your help.." I said as Mom turned around.
"Nonscene...we will not help you..." My Mother said snotty.
"Dad, please, Dillion's had an accident..."
"Dillion! You named my grandson Dillion?" My Mother asked turning around.
"Oh, so he is your Grandson..." I mocked her. She turned away a little peeved I'd outsmarted her. I tried to ignore her,
"Dad, He's hurt and he might not live, he needs an operation..." I said as my Mother got infront of me,
"First off, you are not a Moreau anymore so I don't want to see you in this house again...Second, I will not help in anything that has to do with that family you belong to now, go beg them..." She said as I began to cry.
"These are your grandkids, my babies...They never did anything to you...I might be a disappointment and Guy might be everything you hate but they don't deserve this..." I said throwing down a picture of them on the desk before walking quickly out the door.
My Father leaned over picking the photo up to look at it. My Mother groaned,
"You're letting her get to you, aren't you?" She asked being very short with my Father before storming out. My Father sat there for a minute before placing the photo on the edge of the only picture my Mother hadn't put in storage of me. He sat there and stared at it for a long time.
Guy's POV
I returned to Dillion's room after going over everything with Banks and Jesse, who were gonna organize everything for me as I waited with my family. I re-entered Dillion's room to find Connie asleep at his side. She looked so peaceful, I didn't want to wake her. I sat down on the other side of Dillion and took his hand,
"Hey Buddy, I'm gonna fix this..Don't you worry." I said touching his cheek lightly. Connie began to stir at my voice and looked up.
"Hey..." I said trying to be extra soft with her. She looked at me a little mad and sighed deeply.
"I went to see my parents.." She said still not really saying much.
"Connie, we can do this...You don't need to beg..." I told her reaching for her hand. She got up,
"They wouldn't help anyway.." She said beginning to cry. I walked around the bed and wrapped my arms around her,
"Connie, I promise you, everything is gonna be alright, we're gonna get this money.." I said rubbing her arms.
"Do you really think this is gonna work? This hockey game idea?" She asked with a tone.
"Connie, it's worth a shot...I mean we can't just sit here and do nothing..." I said letting her go,
"Why, don't we just take out a loan?" She asked as I crossed the room.
"Because they wouldn't give us one on top of the house loan.." I said turning towards the window.
"You wanted that house..." She cried as I turned around.
"I thought you wanted it too.."
"I never wanted that house, I went along with it because you and the kids wanted it...I'm not the suburban housewife like all those other blondes in that neighborhood.." She said crying.
"I thought I was doing something good for our family!" I said as she came over to me,
"You just had to go on that trip..Didn't you?" She asked looking at me accusingly
"Oh so you really do think this is my fault...it's okay that I put off my carrer so you can finish school but when it's my turn to go somewhere, watch out here comes that spoiled little witch I married...God, what did you pick up at attitude from your Mother while you were there?" I yelled as she slapped me hard across the cheek.
"Don't ever compare me to her!" She yelled as I looked at the woman that I swore to love forever,
"How can you say this is my fault?" I asked as she was still looking at me,
"Guy, You know how attached he can get to you.." I cut her off,
"So this whole thing is my fault? Well, if it is, I'm gonna fix it! Like I should have fixed this years ago..." I said as I motioned to us before storming out...
Connie's POV
I sunk to the floor as Guy stormed out of the room and down the hall. I wanted to be behind him but this game idea wasn't guaranteed to get us the money, I wanted something more solid, something I could depend on and Guy wasn't giving me that... My whole world was falling apart and the ground was coming out from under me... suddenly I felt hands on my shoulders as I looked up hoping Guy had come back but it was Charlie again, he always seemed to be there when I needed someone, I thought as he held me in his arms as I cried.
"Charlie, Guy..." I started as he shoothed me,
"Shh...it will all be okay..." He said stroking my hair.
Guy's POV
I got half way down the hall and felt like someone had hit me in the stomach, I turned quickly walking back towards the room. I thought out what I would say to her as I went to enter the room. My mind went blank when I saw him standing there with her in his arms... He looked up at me as my blood boiled, I hadn't even been gone for three seconds...I screamed in my head, and she was already in his arms...I looked back at Charlie, punching the wall and really stormed out the door this time...
Connie POV
I looked up at him,
"Did you hear that?" I asked, glacing back at my son.
"No, No...What was it?" He asked looking around.
"Nothing I guess..." I said sitting back with Dillion...
"Connie, why don't you let me take you home? Dillion will be fine, I mean Jesse and Tammy are still here and they'll keep an eye on him..." Charlie asked touching my shoulder.
"No, I can't leave him..." I said with a sigh rumming my head, it hurt so much.
"Come on, just let me take you home and change, you can shower and we'll come back...I promise..." Charlie said extending his hand to me. I looked at it for a moment before taking it and standing up.
"I just want to talk to Tammy first..." I said picking up my coat from the chair and exiting the room...
Well, what are Charlie's intentions? Where did Guy do? and will this charity Hockey game work? Much Much more to come...
Preview of Chapter 5
I could feel his breathe on my neck as I stood over the bed packing my bag. It was making me very unconfortable as he turned me around quickly to face him...He stared down at me with a longing in his eyes I'd never seen before...My breathe quicked as the heat rose a degree and the room began to spin. I stared into his eyes, God, how much I wanted this, I thought to myself... He leaned in getting closer with every second...
