No Sense of Direction

Chapter Sixty Two

-Sidney-

“She’s sleeping now, she woke up a few hours ago, but fell back to sleep when we gave her pain killers,” the nurse explained and I stared through the window into her room.

“Thanks,” I said and the nurse walked away.

Lucic and I were in the middle of another argument when we heard Dana yell that Kat was in an accident. My heart hurt when I thought that she was seriously injured, we rushed to the hospital and found ourselves being turned away because we weren’t immediate family and it was after visiting hours.

When morning hit, I got here as fast as I could and saw that Dana was already here and at Kat’s side. Lucic showed up not long after I did and we didn’t say a word to each other, just glared and hoped that Kat would be all right. Lucic got a phone call and walked away and I had asked the nurse that walked out of Kat’s room what her status was. When she told me that Kat was going to be all right, I breathed a sigh of relief and thanked her.

“Sid!” I heard and looked to see Coach running over towards me, “Is she all right?”

“Yeah, she’s sleeping now,” I said and he nodded his head and looked into the window to see Dana in the room sleeping on the chair next to Kat’s bed.

“Zach is on his way, I think Chris is too,” Coach said and I nodded my head, “Where’s Lucic?”

“I think he went to the cafeteria,” I said and then rolled my eyes and shook my head, “He needs to get the hell out of here, go back to Boston.”

Coach sighed and then opened the door and walked into the room. Dana looked at me and then back towards Kat, I sighed and saw that she was sleeping on her side, a pillow shoved up against her chest. She had her arms sprawled out on the bed, her hair in her face and a tired look on her sleeping face.

I sighed and then walked to her side, running my fingers over her face and then tucking her hair behind her ear. Dana moved and said that I could have the seat, she needed some air. I moved the chair closer and glided my hand down her face and along her arm, grabbing her hand and bringing it up to my lips.

She winced a little and sighed and mentally cursed because I had woken her up. I saw all of the scratches on her face and arms, probably from the glass when her truck rolled.

“Sid?” I heard her scratchy voice and looked up towards her and gave a small smile, “What happened? Why are you here? Where am I?”

“Hey, hey, hey, calm down,” I said and then stood up and pushed her back onto the bed when she wanted to get up, “You hit your head pretty hard, you have two broken ribs too.”

“That explains why I feel like I was hit by a train,” she groaned and then laid back onto the bed.

“Try tracker trailer,” Coach said and Kat looked over towards her Uncle, “Do you not remember anything?”

“I was at mom and dad’s grave, I remember driving and stopping at that red light and then nothing,” she said and I sighed.

“Kat!” I heard and turned around to see that Zach, her older brother had ran in.

“Zach,” Kat winced and then sat up and leaned against the wall, “Not too loud, my head hurts.”

“Oh thank god,” he said and then walked into the room and over towards the bed, pulling Kat into a hug.

“Staalsy, what are you doing here?” I heard Coach asked and turned my head to see Jordan leaning against the doorway.

“Had to make sure he didn’t have a panic attack on the way up,” he said looked at me, “Sid.”

“Jordan,” I said, nodding my head towards him.

“You’re awake,” I heard and turned back around to see Lucic in the doorway next to Jordan.

“You!” Zach growled and Jordan pushed Lucic back and stood in the doorway, placing his arms on Zach’s shoulders, “Why can’t you just leave her alone?!”

“Zach,” Coach said as he walked over and tried to help pull his nephew back, “Come on, stop.”

-Katrina-

“Guys come on, stop!” I said, trying not to yell because my head was killing me.

Security was called and was trying to break the boys up. I saw my brother Chris walk down the hallway and come up right behind Milan. Zach said something and then I saw Chris glare and then punch Milan right across the face. I gasped and then winced when my ribs hurt. Dana was by my side and looking out into the hallway yelling for the boys to stop.

“Stop them,” I said and she nodded her head and ran towards the boys and helped the security guards calm the boys down.

The security guards finally realized that Milan was the problem and escorted him out, making my brothers calm down, but they were still in trouble. I growled and then throw my legs over the side of the bed and pushed myself up, gasping in the pain in my chest and then finding that my head felt heavy and I was weak.

“God, Kat, don’t get up!” I heard my Uncle Dan say and I saw people coming to me.

“Stop, fighting,” I muttered, flinching and grabbing my chest.

“Relax Kat, just lay back,” Zach said and I nodded my head then groaned, laying back onto the bed.

-Sidney-

“So how’s Kat doing?” Marc asked as we skated onto the ice for practice, my first group practice since my jaw breaking.

“Better, the doctor said that she can come home tomorrow. He said that she needs to take it easy because of her concussion,” I said and Marc nodded his head.

“Why was she out that late? Everyone knows that she doesn’t like to drive at night,” he said and I sighed and rubbed the back of my neck, “What did you do?”

“I didn’t do anything! She came over and saw Amanda at my place and thought-“

“Amanda? Who’s Amanda?” James asked as he and Geno skated over.

“Private conversation guys,” Marc said and I heard a scoff and looked to see Kris at my side.

“Dude, there’s nothing private around here, at least not when it’s about Kat,” Kris said and I shook my head, “How is she?”

“She’s all right, the doc-“

“All right, we’ll get back to her,” James said and then looked at me, “Who’s Amanda?”

“Amanda? What happened to Kat?” Pascal asked as he came over.

“Did you dump Kat already? Man that’s harsh,” Kunitz said and I growled.

“Guys!” I yelled and then stopped skating, “Kat is fine, she has a few broken ribs and a slight concussion, she’ll be home tomorrow,” I said and then looked at one half of the guys. I sighed and then looked to the other half, “Amanda is Mario’s assistant and-“

“That skinny blond?!” James asked and I nodded my head, “Man Sid, she’s hot but come on, don’t ya think that it’ll be weird-“

“Nothing’s going to be weird because nothing happened!” I said, “She brought some papers over for me to sign.”

“What papers?” Marc asked.

“Papers about my surgery, the doctor gave his report and I needed to sign them,” I said and then signed, “She came over with the papers and a bottle of wine, just when I was about to sign the and get her out, Kat showed up-“

“Ooooooooooh,” the guys said and I nodded my head.

“She thought the wrong thing and stormed off before I could explain! I swear I didn’t-“

“You gotta admit that it’s a little strange Sid,” Marc said and I looked at him confused, “She brought a bottle of wine Sid, the girl obviously has a thing for you.”

“But I don’t like her, I like Kat!”

“Then tell her,” Pascal said, “Clear this whole thing up.”

“God this is all that damn Lucic’s fault!” I growled and then shook my head and skated forward.

“How’s Zach taking all this drama in?” Kris asked.

“He’s pissed at me, probably wants to hurt me on the ice,” I said and then sighed, “But he’s pissed at Lucic more.”

“I heard Chris was arrested,” Geno said and I nodded my head.

“He punched Lucic in the hospital when the security guards were trying to pull Zach and Lucic apart,” I explained, “Kat literally broke down.”

“He’s out though, right?”

“Yeah, Zach bailed him out, I don’t know what’s going on after that,” I said and the guys nodded their head.

“Come on ladies! This is practice! Not gossip time!” I heard and turned my head to see Coach glaring towards us.
