Chapter 2
Guy's POV
Connie looked MAD tonight. I had hardly ever seen her this mad, not even when we broke up. I wasn't sure what was wrong, but I wished I could comfort her, I really missed her. I saw Charlie go over there once, obviously to see what was wrong, but she just pushed him away, she had never done any thing like that. And Charlie looked pretty shocked but, I noticed that when the players of the other team came out Connie turned deathly white, which was odd because even though these guys were huge, Connie always loved challenges.
When the game started she relaxed though, she wasn't starting and she sat back, and watched the game, I thought not starting would get her angrier, but she looked RELIEVED. By the third quarter, however, she was in, and looked nervous. She got the puck and soon, somebody was on her back, following her closely, a VERY large player, probably the captain wanting to show off she looked behind her and passed the puck quickly it ended up with a Harridan kid, no where near a duck. But the guy wouldn't stop following her, like some shadow. She raced quickly around the rink, weaving in and out of players, ignoring the game. Seeing the trouble, the bash brothers came to the rescue and ran into the guy from either side, both ending up with 2-minute penalties.
I breathed with relief as she got the puck again. I ended up on the ice, and she passed to puck to me. What I didn't notice while I was trying to get a goal was that the kid was following her again. No body noticed until we heard a scream that made my blood turn cold. I turned to see Connie being practically THROWN into the sideboard from quite a distance, smashing into a metal bar headfirst then landing on the ice. She didn't move, just laid there, in a very odd position. We all rushed over to her and Charlie turned her over, she was bleeding, badly, and unconscious. I shook with worry, she looked dead.
The paramedics came and it was all a blur. I know that she was still unconscious and I know That the bash brothers freaked out on the guy who did it, and I know that Julie was crying. But that's all I remember. I was shocked. I stood there till I felt a hand on my shoulder, it was Averman. I was glad he kept his mouth shut for once, just led me off the ice, not even mentioning my crying.
