Ok so here I shall try to write again. I'm picking up the story just after new years, since that will bring everyone back together at school. Still no clue on the plot, but maybe something will pick up. Suggestions are welcome, perhaps i'd get a clue then! On to it then!
---------------------------
"Watch it Hamlet!" Charlie yelled narrowly missing a collision with Luis.
"I truly regret buying this new helmet, the visor is all wrong." Luis commented returning to the bench.
"Are you ever going to give up with that Shakespeare act?" Guy asked.
"I fear not." Dwayne said shaking his head.
"You fear right." Luis smiled.
"Listen up ducks." Orion yelled over them. "Our power play needs more work, I have some ideas on a quick up. Julie's going to start the rush this time. Banks you accept the pass, watch it's onside alright? Let's go."
After running the play several times they finally got it clicking with perfect precision, or enough to make coach happy!
They all then showered and scattered to various directions.
"Ugh my feet are killing me." Julie complained an hour later standing in the elevator of her apartment building.
"Time for new skates cat lady." Dean smiled.
"Yes I know, they are on order. Then I will get sore feet as I break them in!" She smiled then started forward as the doors sprang open. "Ow, bloody hell!" she muttered.
"Such language." Dean laughed, "Here allow me." he said then quickly picked her up.
"Hey I can walk I'm not invalid!" She protested with a smile, but argued no more as he carried her to her door then promptly sat her on the sofa once inside.
"There, was that so bad?" He smirked down at her.
"No, and it made you happy so it's all good." She smiled.
"Good then." He replied then walked into the kitchen.
They'd had a great Christmas time, even if he didn't see his family. Julie didn't completely understand his relationship with them. Then again she didn't exactly have a normal family herself. Her mother had left for New York to have Christmas with Alex, so it truly was just a family holiday for once.
Meg and Daniel had moved into the main house at Julie's request, mostly so she wouldn't worry about her grandfather. But their move couldn't have come at a better time, since Meg (with Julie's promise to stay quiet) surprised the boys on Christmas morning by announcing she and Daniel would be parents in a few months. Julie smiled at the thought of Daniel's surprised face when he found out, and then at his pure joy over it.
"What are you smiling like a moron about?" Dean asked walking back in and coming to sit beside her.
"Daniel's reaction, I've never seen him so happy. On cloud nine!" She smiled.
"After last summer everyone deserves happiness." He commented, as she nodded in agreement.
"Soon as that creep's appeal is denied maybe we can all just move on." She muttered still annoyed at Mitchell's attempts to get sprung from jail.
"It's amazing he thinks he can still walk off free from this all." Dean shook his head, "The jerk."
"Money can buy you a lot of things, and for some it buys freedom. Just hope this time that doesn't happen." She shuddered.
"It won't, trust me. He's done too much, the government won't allow it." He said firmly.
"I hope you're right. I can't stand the thought of what he'd do if he was free." She sighed.
"Let's not think about it you don't need the stress." He said looking over at her tired face.
She glanced back at him then smiled, "You're going to suggest I take a nap aren't you."
"Exactly." He stated taking a pillow and propping it up beside him.
"You're getting so bossy." She smiled and laid down.
"Yep." She heard him answer softly. She quickly fell asleep listening to him muttering at the tv.
Dean glanced down after a bit watching her sleep and smiled. "She's so cute when she's asleep." He moved a stand of hair off her eyes and went back to flipping channels.
At that very moment back in Maine, Mitchell sat in his jail cell silently cursing the golden haired goalie. "One day Julie, one day." He muttered staring at the stark white wall.
"Making threats again are we Mitchie?" Jasmine smiled threw the bars.
"Go to hell." He responded.
"No thanks, too busy at the moment." She paused then went on. "Just wanted to let you know your appeal has been denied. And you will be transferred to another facility within the coming weeks. I hope you haven't grown too fond your life here." She laughed as he scowled.
"You know, all of you can deny my appeals all you want. I have power even stuck in this jail cell. If I want Julie taken care of it will be done." He stated with eerie calm.
"You try it and I'll put a big red bow on your head and lock you in a room with Daniel and Dean." She responded seriously.
"Like I'm afraid of them, they are nothing. Absolutely nothing." He returned calmly.
"You should be, but then again you never have been very smart." Jasmine smiled and walked away.
Mitchell sat fuming silently still looking at the walls. Jasmine walked just beyond his cell and into a small room.
"Is that enough for you?" She asked the older man standing in front of the monitor showing Mitchell's cell.
"I suppose I can authorize your request." He answered watching the screen.
"I won't admit my personal feelings aren't in play here, but you can clearly see she is still in danger." Jasmine mentioned carefully.
"You've proven your point with him. You have whatever you need." He stated turning to face her.
"Thank you Nick." She smiled.
"Don't think I'm not already aware of you sending Dominic there." Nick smirked. "Crushing on the Brit are we?"
Jasmine flushed red at the remark, "I'm not crushing, he's the best and he owes me that's all."
"If you say so." The older man smiled and waved a hand, "Go tend to the other matters now."
"Thank you sir." Jasmine smiled and quietly shut the door as she left. She grabbed her cell phone and waited for Julie's phone to ring.
"Hello Jas." Dean answered after a ring.
"Did the phone even ring?" Jasmine asked laughing.
"Yeah once, your lucky it didn't wake her up." He responded trying to sound threatening.
"That route doesn't work on us who know you, I just thought I'd clue you in on that." She smirked walking down the hall.
"Yeah well, whatever. What's going on, something bad?" He asked slightly afraid should would confirm his fears.
"Not exactly," Jasmine began, "Mitchell's appeal was denied again, he'll be transferred elsewhere soon."
"Awesome, I told Jules it wouldn't work." He smiled.
"Yes but," She began.
"No, not a but, why a but?" Dean groaned.
"He's making threats, and being Mitchell I won't take any chances. So Julie isn't going to be pleased but she's going to be watched 24/7 for the foreseeable future." She answered with a sigh.
"Should I tell her this or not?" He asked looking down at Julie's sleeping form.
"Not sure, it's your call. I'm coming to visit I'll arrive later tonight. I already have a man there, I'm bringing another with me. I'll let you both meet them if you decide to tell her. If not I'll introduce you to them so you'll know who's who, ok?" She asked.
"Yeah that's fine. But Jasmine?" He asked slowly.
"Yes?"
"We're just being overprotective here right?" He questioned softly.
"Yes I'm taking no chances, no worries Dean she's got you and the team, we're just adding a little high tech protection into the mix, that's all." Jasmine answered calmly.
"Alright, I'll tell her you're coming and decide later about everything else." He decided.
"Sure whatever you think, hey I'll see you in a few hours." She replied cheerfully.
"Ok later." He responded and hung up. "And you can shut up!" He thought angrily at the growing knot of worry in his stomach.
