Chapter 16: The Bad News is…. Part 1

*Back at Kaner and Tazers house*

"I really don't feel like going to practice tonight!" Kaner said laying on Gina's lap on the couch
Gina was playing with his hair and Christian was playing GTA 5, while Tazer was getting ready for practice.
"Patrick can I stay here? Instead of going to practice with you guys." Christian asked
Kaner sat up, "I want you coming with us to the rink. Sorry bud."
"But I don't feel good." Christian lied
"I wouldn't mind staying here with him while you're at practice." Gina offered up
"You have work though, and you're already behind because of last week."

Gina completely blanked on that and as soon as Patrick brought it up, she got all her stuff and headed to work.

"If you take the drug test and it's negative, I'll let you stay here instead of going to practice." Patrick said
Christians' face went blank. He knew he would fail the test, but he remembered a way to trick the test.
"Fine. I'll take it." Christian said as his brother handed him the test and he walked into the bathroom. Christian thought his method would work, but it ended up not working.
Within a few mins, the test said it was positive.

"Get whatever you want to bring to practice and hurry up, we have to leave in like 10 min." Kaner said clearly pissed off.

*At Practice*

Kane was beyond annoyed and angry at the fact that the test was positive. He walked into the dressing room and ignored everyone. Once his gear was on, he walked out of the dressing room and into the rink.

"Patrick. Since your the first one out wanna start stretching?" Coach Q asked
"Sure." Patrick said annoyed.

After everyone was warmed up, they started practicing shoots on goal.
Kaner was first to shoot and whipped the puck at Crawford.

"What the fuck Kane! Wanna aim the puck at an open spot in the net and not our goalie!" Coach Q yelled at him, "10 suicides! Now!"

Everyone could tell something was off, they just didn't know what. After Kane finished his suicides Shaw skated over to him on the bench.

"You alright Patrick? You seem a little off today." He asked
Patrick blew up on Shaw, "DO I LOOK OK?!? I FOUND OUT THAT YOU WERE RIGHT! MY BROTHER DOES SMOKE AND HE LIED TO ME ABOUT IT AND MADE ME FEEL LIKE A SHIT BROTHER! SO NO! I AM NOT OK!"

Everyone was looking at Kane, "Patrick, I want you in the locker room. I'll meet you there in a few min." Coach Q said to him.

*In the Locker Room*

"What happened with your brother? And I want you to be calm and not yell." Q said
"Shaw caught him smoking pot, and Christian lied to me saying he didn't. Then I drug tested him and it turned out to be positive." He said clenching his teeth

As soon as he said that, Christian walking into the locker room. He looked at his brother and asked what was wrong.

"Christian I think it's best for you to not be here right now." Q said
"Why not? Patrick what happened?" Christian asked again
"Christian get the fuck out of here!" Patrick yelled at his little brother, "I don't want to talk to you right now!"

Christian was shocked to hear his brother swear at him and yell at him. He walked out of the locker room and began to have chest pains.

He walked back into the locker room to tell his brother, "Patrick"
"Christian get out." He said to him calmly.
"But my chest hurts, and I don't know what to do." Christian said
Patrick didn't look up at all, "You always say that whenever I'm mad at you! Stop using it as an excuse for me to not be mad at you! You're perfectly fine, we all know how good of a liar you are! Just leave me alone."

Christian looked at Coach Q and he didn't do anything. He walked out of the room and went into his brothers Hummer.

*Christians' POV*

My brother was really mad at me. I think it was because of the drug test, I went into the locker room to apologize to him, but I got yelled at and walked away. Then my chest began to hurt and I went to tell my brother but he didn't believe me. He said I was lying so he would talk to me, I wish I was lying.
I walked out of the UC and went to my brothers truck. My heart was beating really fast and it really hurt. I called my sister, Jackie, she didn't answer.

*End of POV*

*Back with the Team*

"Why's Patrick so annoyed?" Crawford asked
"He tested Christian for drugs, and he failed the test." Tazer said
The whole team was shocked, "Why is he so annoyed by it though? Its not like he's affecting Patricks life choices." Seabs asked
"How should I know. If I caught one of my brothers smoking pot or doing drugs I would probably kill them." Tazer said defending Patrick
"Speaking of Christian, where is he?" Sharp asked looking up in the stands for him
"I have no idea. He's probably in the locker room or something." Shaw said.

They all finished skating and went into the locker room to change.

"Kaner where's your little brother?" Hjalmarsson asked
"I don't know. I blew up on him and he walked out of the locker room. I thought he went back to the stands. He wasn't there?" Patrick said calmed down a lot more than earlier.
"No, we all thought he was in here." Nick said changing.
"I'm sure he's fine" Kane said
Jonathan was surprised at what Patrick just said, "Coach Q can you have someone check for Christian, or call his phone?" Tazer asked
"Yeah. I'll have someone call him and check the arena for him." Q walked off.

*20 min Later*

"Hey Jonny we couldn't find him, and his phone is off." Coach Q said
"Alright thanks for checking." Tazer got his stuff and walked out of the locker room to his car.
"Kaner! You find Christian?" He asked
"Yeah." Kane said shutting his car door
"Where was he?" Jon asked
Patrick pointed into his car, "Sleepin' in there."
"Thats good. See yah back at the house." Jon said as he drove off.

*At the House*

"Christian. Wake up we're here." Kane said to his brother
Christian was out cold. His brother shook him, but he didn't wake up.
"Jonny! I need you!" Kane yelled before Taze left.

"Yeah?"
"I'll take your stuff up stairs if you carry him up there"

Tazer unbuckled Christian and carried him up to their house. Once they got up there, he laid Christian down in his bed.

"Thanks Jon." Pat said to him
"You need to not be so hard on the kid" Tazer said, "I understand what he did was wrong, but remember what the doctor said? He's not allowed to be stressed out, or it'll only cause a problem for him in the future."

Pat turn to Jon and looked like he'd seen a ghost
"What?" Jon asked
"When I was yelling at him in the locker room he said his chest hurt. I didn't do anything about it, I told him to just leave me alone. He wasn't lying...." Patrick said
"I'll talk to him. Call Gina over to see if she wants to come over and make us dinner." Jon said walking to Christians' room

Jon walked into Christians' room to wake him up, but he thought he'd let him sleep. So, he walked into the family room area and started to play Xbox. Gina came over to make dinner, and eat with them. Dinner was finally ready and Patrick went to go wake up Christian.

"Christian, dinner is ready." Pat said sitting on his brothers bed
Christian turned his back to his brother and mumbled, "I'm not hungry."
"Christian you gotta eat. C'mon." Pat said
"I'm tired and just want to sleep." Christian mumbled again
Patrick knew his brother was fine, "Christian, if this is about earlier, then I am sorry for blowing up at you. Its just you're my little brother and I don't want you getting hurt doing what you're doing. Please come eat with us. Gina's here and she made dinner."
"I'm not hungry. Can you please just let me sleep. I don't feel good." He said putting the blanket over his head.

"Let me feel your head to see if you're sick then." Patrick said lifting up the blanket
Christian covered his chest and shut his eyes, "I'm fine. Even you said so. I just want to sleep."
Patrick looked at his brother and knew Christian wouldn't get up, "Because you are perfectly fine. We have a spot set up for you. If you want some food, you can serve yourself." Patrick got up and walked out

*Kitchen Table*

"Where's Christian?" Gina asked
"He's being stubborn and said he doesn't feel good, but that's bullshit, he's perfectly fine." Patrick said sitting down
"Pat what if he is actually sick, or his hearts hurting him?" Jon said knowing that Christians' heart was bugging him
"He's fine." He said as he began to eat
Gina looked at Pat, then Jon. She looked down at her plate and started to eat.

The table was quiet because of Patrick. After dinner was done, they all helped cleaning up and Jon went to Christians' room to check on him.
Christian was out cold asleep. He put another blanket on him and shut his door.

"Thank you very much for dinner Gina! It was outstanding!" Jon said
Patrick walked up to Gina and kissed her on the head and she just stood there, "Whats wrong babe?"
"Lets go for a walk." She suggested

They got their jackets and shoes on and left.

*With Gina and Patrick*

"So whats wrong sweetie?" Pat said holding Gina's hand
Gina stopped walking and looked at Pat then said, "I heard what happened at the rink today. I also heard what Christian did. You over reacted."
"Gina-" Patrick went to interrupt but she wouldn't let him

"No! He is your little brother. He made one little mistake. You're making it seem like he's going to end up in jail. Does he hold it over your head 24/7 about you not being there for him when he was growing up? No! He doesn't. That was throughout his whole childhood and teenage years. You know he can't be stressed out, so why are you stressing him out?" Gina lectured him.

"You are right. I shouldn't have reacted the way I did, but I can't take that back. And yes he does hold it over my head about not being there for him, all the time. Also, his heart problem, he none stop says that it hurts, I doubt it hurts as much as he says it does." Patrick stated.

"Well you don't know about his heart pain unless you actually experience it yourself. The doctor said if he says anything, even the slightest thing about it that you need to take him to the hospital. And what do you do? Sit there yelling at him,STRESSING him out even more!"

Patrick understood what she was saying, "I understand what you're saying. I'm sorry. I promise to make it better."

"Yeah you're going to right now." Gina said walking back to the house.
"What wait?" Pat said
"You. are. going. to. apologize. for. what. you. did. and. make. sure. he's. ok." She said speaking to him like a 5 year old.
He grabbed her hand and went back to the house.

*Christians' Room*

"Christian, I wanna talk with you." Patrick said turning on his lights
Christian covered his face and turned away.
"Buddy? C'mon talk to me. I won't yell or swear I promise." Pat said
"I don't feel good, I want to sleep." Christian said
"What doesn't feel good? Your head, stomach, throat, heart?" Pat asked

Christian looked at his brother when he said heart, "I thought you didn't care if my heart hurts or not because you said, and I quote, 'You always say that whenever I'm mad at you! Stop using it as an excuse for me to not be mad at you! You're perfectly fine, we all know how good of a liar you are! Just leave me alone.' "

Pat responded with, "Christian, I didn't mean it. I was angry and upset about the drug test. I do care. Why do you think I was balling my eyes out when you were in the hospital last time?"
"I don't know." Christian said sitting up
"So what hurts?" Patrick asked again
"What do you think?" Christian said back
Patrick looked at his brother, "Your chest. I wanna take you to the hospital Christian."
Christian shook his head no.
"You need to. It shouldn't be bugging you as much as it is, and it shouldn't hurt this much. Please?" Patrick begged his brother.
"Fine, but I want Gina there." He said
"Deal. Lets go." Patrick said getting up and helping his brother up.

They walked into the family area. Jon and Gina looked at Christian, then Patrick.

"Gina, will you stay with him while I go get my car then bring him down to the lobby?" Patrick asked his GF
Jon and Gina looked at each other, "Yeah, I'll bring him down."
"I'll go with them." Jon said getting up and turning the tv off.

Patrick went to go get the car, Jon get Christian a coat and they went out the house and locked the door.
The elevator door opened, and they saw Crawford, Sharp, and Bickell.

"Where are you guys going?" Sharp asked Jon
"We're taking Christian to the hospital." He said
They looked at Christian, "Whats wrong?"
Christians' heart started to race really fast again and they could all see the pain in his eyes.
"We'll meet you guys there." Sharp said as they all walked into the elevator.

*At the Hospital*

"Hello Christian. I'd love to say it's nice to see you again, but I'd rather see you outside of the hospital. So what's wrong today?" The doctor asked unhooking the heart monitor from Christians' chest.
"My heart has been hurting me, and it randomly races really fast." He said
"Alright. Well, we're going to hook you up to an EKG and get the results from that and this monitor and talk with your brother alright?"
Christian laid down on the hospital bed as the checked his heart rate.

*An hour or Two Later*

"Well, I have some good news and some bad news..... Which do you want first?" The doctor said
Patrick looked up and said, "Bad."
The Doctor breathed in loudly, looked down at his clip board and said, "The bad news is...................."
