Okay, it's been a week and possibly a day or two. Ughh, I have been so sick of coughing, and sickness, that I feel I need a getaway. I've been on NyQuil for two weeks, and I think I've become immune to the stuff. Is that even possible?

Well here is chapter 6. It's a little different, mainly focuses on Jordan and Lily. Spoilers? Nahh, you'll just have to read! Review Please! I love hearing what you have to say. I'm thinking of a mashup name for Jordan and Lily. Hmm, Any Ideas? Let me know! I hope you Enjoy!

Nothing Like a Wonderful Day

Jordan woke up feeling nice and refreshed. He walked over to his big window. It covered almost half of the wall, but it was centered just perfectly. The light shined through the window so brightly, it blinded him for a moment. It was a beautiful Saturday morning, a perfect day for roller skating.

He put his jeans on, but he couldn't find his California hockey jersey. He thought it might be in the wash, so he made his way down stairs. When he came to the last step he walked through the small hallway that lead to his kitchen to find his mom sitting at the bar with Lily, drinking some coco.

Jordan blinked a few times to make sure it was really Lily. "What are you doin' here this early?" He asked, still groggy sounding from just getting up.

"My mom and dad left this morning, they'll be gone for tonight. So, they asked if I could stay with you guys." Lily said, shyly. He had no idea why, but she didn't look at him directly. He touched his face to make sure he hadn't slobbered on it, although he wasn't a slobberer anyway. Then he looked down to find he wasn't wearing a shirt.

To all honesty, he knew he was definitely not bad looking, and by the look on Lily's face, she knew it too, but was trying not give any looks directly, because his mother was sitting right there.

All Jordan could say was, "cool." His hand found the back of his head to scratch it. "Um, Mom. Have you seen my Cali hockey jersey anywhere?"

"Oh, yeah. It's in the dryer. Let me go get it." She said getting up. Jordan walked over to the cabinet and got out a packet of coco to make, along with some milk.

"So, you ready to roller skate today?" He asked, his back to her.

She set her coco down lightly on the counter. "Um, yeah. I guess." She became nervous once again.

He turned around, and walked over to her. "Lil, you have nothing to be worried about, you're going to be fine. Just remember one thing, have fun." He winked at her as his mom came back in the room, with his jersey. He pulled it over his head, feeling the warmth of the dryer overwhelm him.

Jordan invited Lily upstairs and show her where she'd most likely be sleeping that night. The room next to his. They made there way into his room, and made herself at home, as if this was something they did everyday.

She hopped on his bed and his iPhone was on the Sports Illustrated magazine with earphones attached to them she opened his phone.

"How did you know my password?" He looked at her confused.

She looked up at him and giggled. "I know you better than you think I do, Banks." She was scrolling through something but Jordan couldn't see. "You have dubstep?"

He smirked. "Yeah, and rock, and country, hip-hop, and some pop, but no Justin Bieber. Sorry sweetie." He came and sat right beside her.

She looked at him and rolled her eyes with that attitude. "Yeah, like I would expect you to have him in the first place." He chuckled.

"Oo you have a lot of country! I see a lot of dubstep too. Mostly Skrillex. I assume you're a fan?"

"Of course, but you, you like a lot of country and a lot of dubstep, two totally different genres. Interesting."

She looked up with her beautiful blue eyes, and batted them unintentionally and said, "well considering that this is your phone, you must like the two different genres equally as well."

Still lost in her eyes he blinked, trying to regain his sense of humor. "See, I knew we would have something in common." She didn't just giggle, she laughed. It was genuine and cute. He smiled.

All of a sudden the phone started ringing. Lily unplugged the ear phones and answered it. "Hello?" She said, as Jordan was trying to reach for his phone. "No Jordan didn't turn into a girl." She got up from his bed and walked around. "This isn't his mother either. Jordan is sitting on his bed." Jordan got up and started chasing her around the room. "Now he's chasing me." She flung over the bed like a ninja. She stopped abruptly and scoffed. Jordan stopped as well. "What! How could you think we did that! You're so weird, Connor."

Jordan had had a feeling what Connor said, and that didn't help the feeling he had in his stomach every time he looked at Lily. He needed to get Connor to stop talking. With her on the other side of the bed, Jordan launched himself across. She yelped as he tackled her to the ground. He got up off her and she stood up, almost getting away, but he grabbed her waist and spun her around. She couldn't help but laugh.

Their faces were close. He leaned in slowly, and she did as well, but at the last minute, as he clasped his phone in his hand, he turned away. He wanted to so badly to kiss her, but that would make him seem weak. She looked at him bewildered. "You can't do that!" She exclaimed, he wasn't sure if she was angry or not.

He smirked, knowing that he got her. "Sorry, beautiful." He winked as he walked out of the room, putting the phone up to his ear. "Sorry Connor, Lily and I were gonna listen to music, but what time do you guys want to go?"

From the other side Jordan could hear Connor breathe in. "Well, Landon and Lizzy are over at our house now. We can go anytime." Jordan looked back in the room, and saw that Lily was laying on his bed, looking at the ceiling. Jordan wanted that kiss. He bit back a curse.

"Anytime you want, I guess." Jordan finally said.

"Okay, great. We'll be over soon!" Connor hung up.

Jordan walked back into the room and laid on the bed next to her. "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have tricked you." He had to restrain himself from telling her he wanted it. "I was joking around with you, and I guess I got carried away." He waited a few minutes before he turned his head to face her.

Her blue eyes were already awaiting his. "Well, watch you're back Banks." She winked as she got up off the bed. The way she said it sent shivers up his back.

"Jordan! Lily! Connor, Lizzy, and Landon are here!" Mrs. Banks yelled from downstairs.

When they got downstairs, Lily grabbed her skates from her bag, and took them outside. The Jordan followed with his. His mother would kill him if he had roller skate on in the house. It didn't take long to put his on, including Lily. She stared at the skates on her feet. She knew the weren't ice skates, it was still similar.

"You okay, Lil?" Asked Lizzy.

Lily looked up and took in a deep breath. "Yeah, I just haven't roller skated either since the accident."

"It'll be okay Lil." Jordan reached for her hand. She hesitantly took it. "I'm not gonna let anything happen to you." Once she was up on her feet. She closed her eyes. Jordan knew the words to say. "Think of something that makes you happy." Slowly she smiled. "Keep that in mind. Also, if you need a hand, all you have to do is reach for one."

"That's what my dad always told us." She said opening her eyes.

He shrugged. "Your dad had a couple lessons to teach us. I guess that one stuck."

Lily took a deep breath and slid one foot out, and then the other, until it was continuous. She went around the round driveway, and back to the group. She was smiling. "Let's go!" She said excitedly.

They skated for hours around the neighborhood, and back to grab money for Jordan and Lily. Then they made their way into part of the small suburb town outside Minneapolis. They skated their way into a diner and sat down at one of the tables. Ms. Tammy came up.

"I had a feeling you all would be here for lunch. I see that you three have added two more to you're skating group. Hi Jordan. Hi Lily." She smiled.

They returned one as well, when Connor started telling her what he wanted for lunch. The rest of them joined in.

"So, Lily. After today, you think you might get back on the ice?" Landon asked.

She shrugged. "Maybe." She looked at Jordan. "I think I'm gonna need a hand though."

He smiled. "I'll be there."

After lunch, they went back outside, and roller skated for a few more hours and went back to their house. By the time they got back, their cheeks and noses were red from the cold.

Once they were coming around the curb into their neighborhood, Lily slipped, and fell. Jordan made his way to Lily. She tumbled over twice before stopping. "Lil!" He panicked. He leaned down and took her hand. "You're okay. You're fine." He helped her back up and gave her a hug. "Oh, you scare the Holy Jesus out of me."

"Lily! Are you okay." Landon and Lizzy asked in unison.

She took a deep breath a smiled, a little. "I'm fine. I just need to watch out for that curb next time."

"Yeah, you don't want to scratch up that beautiful face of yours." Jordan admitted. She blushed. He was very please to the affect he had on Lily.

They made their way inside where Jordan's mom had hot chocolate hot and ready for them to drink. It was getting late. Jordan couldn't believe the day he had spending with Lily and Connor, like they did when they were kids, only he had two more friends to add to his memories.

Soon Landon and Lizzy left, only to have Connor and Lily sitting in Jordan's bedroom.

"You guys realize that this is the first time we're all in one room, just us, for the first time since we were little?" Lily mentioned.

Connor smiled. "Yeah, I have something to show you guys." He brought out his wallet, and took out something that looked like a photo. "I found this last year. Ever since I kept it because I felt I needed the two people who understood me close, even it was just a memory stuck on a piece of paper."

Jordan caught a glimpse of it. Three little kids sit with skates on, on the ice right out their back doors, arms linked around each other, laughing as if nothing bad would ever seem to exist. Lily crept over Jordan's shoulder to take a peek.

"Wow, can you believe things have changed since then?" She said.

Jordan had no idea how much they had. The little girl in the photo resembled someone who lived for the ice, even at eight years old. Now, she can't even look at the ice without showing fear.

They gave Connor the photo back when his mom walked into the room. "Time to go Bud." She said. "Don't worry, you see them tomorrow."

He walked towards the door before turning around. Night guys, see you tomorrow!" He said as his mother said goodbye to the two sitting on the bed.

Lily placed her hands on her lap. "Well, I'm going to take a shower before dinner." She got up and walked out. It wasn't long before she came out, wrapped in a robe. Her hair was really long. She made her way to the guest room.

He went in to take a shower. As the warm water un-tigntened his muscles, he relaxed. He thought about earlier today.

He was so close to kissing Lily. He knew himself that he had a massive crush on her, even when they were little. All it took was one day and a few hours to know that they were best friends again, and Jordan didn't want to sabotage their friendship, even if it was a kiss.

He got out and put a towel around his waist,and walked out the door to head to his room, when he ran in to Lily. Literally. His towel almost slipped off him, so hesitantly he grabbed and held on to it. He hoped Lily hadn't seen anything in the process. She looked flustered, and didn't stare at him directly.

"What?" He asked. She looked him in the face with confusion. "Why are you giving that look?"

"What look?" She was wearing gray sweat pants and blue tank top, with bright green ankle socks on her feat. Her hair was down, but still wet.

"The 'I can't look at you directly' face." He looked around to see if his mom and dad were around. No sign. "Am I that bad to look at?" She then looked at him as if he had two heads.

"No, it's because . . . It's because you . . . Are good looking." She said, slowly.

He smirked feeling confident in himself. "And that's a bad thing?"

She shook her head. "You are also wearing a towel right now, and it almost slipped off of you, and you should go put some clothes on so we can go eat dinner." She then walked into the guest room.

He made his way into his room, and closed the door. He grabbed some long, black pajama bottoms and a muscle tank to put on, when there was a knock on the door.

"Come in." He said once he was dressed.

"Hun, dinner is ready." His mother told him.

He walked down stairs and sat down to spaghetti and meatballs. He always loved eating this. He looked at Lily, and noticed she was staring at him. He waved his hand in her face and she looked away. "You okay?"

"Uh, yeah. I was just zoned out I guess. I'm fine though." She claimed. He nodded, still unsure. Her facial expression seemed to remain the same distant sadness.

"So how was skating today?" Mrs. Banks asked.

Lily piped up. "It was fun. Its seemed like old times. Times I've missed."

"Yeah, it was fun. I'm glad we have Landon and Lizzy added to our group. They seem to make it complete from when we were little." Jordan added.

Mr. Banks took a sip of water, and sighed. "Ms. Tammy and her brother played with me and Mr. Charlie, our first year the Ducks came together. Tammy left after that, keeping in touch with most of us through the years. The only person she really kept in touch with was Connor's mom and dad. They were good friends. So a year after you left Lily, and a couple weeks after we left, Tammy landed herself back in Minneapolis, separated from her husband, and left with Landon and Lizzy to take care of." Jordan's dad seemed to know a lot. "She moved back to be closer to her parents, if they had money troubles."

Lily sighed. "Back in Florida, I got to see Uncle Fulton and Uncle Portman a lot. Dad told me all the crazy things you all did throughout high school, and college."

Mr. Banks chuckled. "Yeah, we got into a lot of trouble back then. There was a lot of rivalry too, between me and the Ducks considering I wasn't one when the team was made. I was on the Hawks by district mistake. But I had played with the Hawks since i was little. At first, the team didn't accept me. Your dad was willing though. It just took a little faith and a pep talk from Coach Bombay for the whole team to realize I wasn't all bad. All I wanted to do was play hockey. It was either play with the Ducks or don't play at all."

Mrs. Banks looked at the two kids eating the spaghetti. "What he's trying to say, is that don't make the mistakes he made, and accept everyone on the team, even if one of the can be difficult." Jordan had the strange feeling she was talking about Cole.

"I was just trying to stand up for a friend. I don't know him, and he doesn't know Lily. He shouldn't have said what he said. It was wrong." Jordan's head was lowered.

"I know sweetie. And what you did, Mr. Charlie appreciated you standing up for her, and also handling it the mature way to where it didn't end in a fist fight. Just be nice. He's your team mate. At least act lie you like him on the ice." She said calmly, hoping he son's anger towards Cole would die down.

After dinner, his mother told him to do the dishes, and Lily offered to help. His mom went to her room, and his dad went to his study on the other side of the house.

"Jordan, don't worry about it. I had a weak moment. He caught me off guard, I didn't know what to say so I walked away. What you did, what Connor said you did. That was really sweet. Thank you." She looked around. "And today when I fell, I was tempted to take off the skates and walk home. But, you had your hand there for me to grab. Thank You for that." She said as the last dish went in the dish washer.

Jordan couldn't help but smile. Then she walked by and brushed her hand lightly against his, but he didn't know if it was on purpose or not. She kept walking on as if nothing had happened. Not even looked back to see if he had moved or anything. He closed the dish washer door, and began making his way up stairs.

Lily stopped in front of her door, and Jordan met her. "I'm tired from today. I had a lot of fun! I hope we can make this a usual thing. I want to get back into a system. Everything is different here than in Florida." She sighed. "Good night, Jordan."

He smiled, and held out his arms for a hug. She gladly excepted. With his chin on her shoulder, he whispered in her ear. "Good night Lil. Sweet dreams." He let go and as she turned around, he could honestly see her smiling walking inside the guest room.

Jordan took a deep breath, and took off his shirt before getting into bed. It had been a long, fun day for him. He was tired, but not tired enough, so he grabbed his head phones and pressed the play button as the lights went off. Jack Johnson was on replay for music to relax to. Bubble Toes, Banana Pancakes, and Better Together went through before he changed to a different artist. It seemed like minutes went by before he knew he was asleep.

It was dreamless, a black blob, until he heard something. His eyes opened slowly. He rubbed his eyes and sat up to look around. Nothing was there. The clock read 3:17 AM. He sighed. Then he heard something again. It sounded like a whisper coming from the wall. He inched closer and realized that Lily was on the other side. All of a sudden something hit the wall on the other side. Jordan got off his bed, and made his way towards the door.

He walked out, and walked around to the guest bedroom and opened that one, closed it behind him, and walked to the bed. Lily lay there tossing around. She was moaning as if she was scared. Jordan sat on the bed, and touched her arm.

"Lily, wake up." He whispered. She still was moving around, trying to breathe. "Lily, wake up!" He said aloud this time, more urgently.

She did this for another few seconds until, Jordan shook both of her arms. "No!" She cried out, as she sat up. She was on the verge of tears. Jordan had no second thoughts about it, he wrapped his arms around her in a secure hug. They stayed like that for a while. No words had to be spoken for him to know what Lily's dream was about. After she calmed down, he did the only thing he figured he could do, and that was stay with her for the night.

He moved around until he was on the opposite side of her, but once he was laying on his back, she laid down beside him, putting her head on his chest. His arms wrapped around her. Jordan thought about this, and he liked it. He had never felt this close to Lily, but he liked it, as if it was a natural thing they did. After a while of laying there in silence, he drifted off to sleep, not giving to thoughts about what they were both going to think come the morning.

Well? What do you think? It took a while to write because of writers block as well. I could use help on ideas. But I definitely have a surprise for you guys! I'm not sure if it'll be the next chapter, but we'll see how it goes.
