Becoming Stronger together

*At the Trump Tower*

The guys were hanging out at the bar having a few drinks, not enough to affect any of them. Patrick had went to the room with Gina and Tristan because it had been a long day for them. Sharp, Shaw, Bickell, Toews, Seabs and Crawford were the only ones at the bar when they saw Christian walking into the hotel with a hockey stick and skates.

"Hey Christian! Come over here!" Shaw yelled
Christian looked up and headed over to them, "Hey guys."
Sharp, "You look really tired. How's your chest feeling?"
"I am really tired and I think I pushed myself more than I should've. Where's my brother by the way?" Christian asked yawning
"Him, Gina and Tristan are in their room sleeping. You can head on up if you want, we're just getting a few drinks." Shaw said
"Alright. I'll see you guys in the morning. Night." Christian said
Jon stopped him, "Hey wait. I'll go up with you. C'mon"

Him and Jon talked about what happened the other night with Janessa. Christian said how she was at their condo when he got back, but he didn't want to talk to her. Jon could see in Christians face how bothered he was by what Janessa said and he came up with a plan to take his mind off that.

"Wanna go play hockey tomorrow? You against me? I could give you some pointers and we'll have Crow there in net." Jon threw out there
Christian looked at him, "Yeah. That'd be fun. I gotta workout and go for a run first but after I could go."
"Workout after, please? It'll be fun and we'll take you out to whatever restaurant you want to go to." Jon added and opened the door
Christian looked at him "Alright. Hey I'm gonna get a candy and soda. Want one?"
Jon looked at him, "No but are you ok? Why don't you go sit down and I'll get you them. Check your levels too."

Christian went and sat down, he also checked his levels which weren't horribly low, but they weren't where they should be. Jon brought him what he asked for. Jon saw what his levels were somewhat low and just waited to see how Christian was after eating. They continued talking more and Christian asked about Jons' brother. After awhile Jon had him check his levels again and he was good. They both went to bed.

*The next Day*

"Christian! Gina, T and I are going out! If you need anything call me!" Patrick screamed before leaving.
Jon went into Christians' room, "Hey bub wake up. You need to eat, and get ready to go."

Christian mumbled something but got up.
After he ate and got ready to leave Jon texted Crawford and had him meet them at the rink.

*With Patrick*

Gina, Tristan and I were driving to Buffalo to go visit family. We didn't tell Christian because we just felt it was best if he didn't go. Jon said he'd watch after him and I made sure he was ok with it before we left. After 13 hours we finally made it to my counsin Kevs' house. Gina got Tristan out of his car seat and Patrick unpacked all their stuff. Kev and Patrick had decided to head out to the bars to hangout with friends, but Patrick had no intent on drinking. He missed all his friends and realized how blessed he was to have an amazing group of family and friends back home supporting him. It started getting late, so Patrick got Kev and a few of his friends ready to leave. Pat was driving and was sober, he had a hard time getting his friends out of the bar when they were drunk, and people taking pictures of him.

*With Jon*

The guys messed around on the ice for a few hours. Christian was honestly an amazing hockey player and even Coach Q could tell he had just as much skill as his brother. They took Christian out to lunch and let him sleep for a little bit heading to Sharps. None of them tried calling Patrick, they figured he was busy.

"Jonny, can we go back to the rink? I wanna play some more" Christian asked
Jon looked at the rest of the guys, "Want to play hockey against him? He's actually pretty good."

The guys all agreed and headed to the rink.
No one had their phones on them while they were skating, but after 2 hours, they all decided to head home.

"Hey wait up!" Jonny yelled to all the guys, "Do any of you have a missed call from Kaner?"
They all checked their phones, "Yeah like 20." They all said but Christian
"Why didn't he call me? Can I call him back?" Christian asked dialing his brothers number, but Gina was calling
"Hold on this is Gina." Jonny said

*On The Phone with Gina*
G=Gina J=Jonny

G:"Hey Jonny I need you to fly out to Buffalo." she said crying
J:"Woah Gina calm down, What's wrong?"
