Holly POV

I stood in the corner and watched as the doctors and medical staff performed different tests on Jamie. I knew I should probably be standing by his side, comforting him but the truth was that I was scared.
“Babe” Jamie croaked out, his voice was hoarse. I instantly snapped out of the daze I was in and moved towards Jamie. I grabbed his free hand in mine; it was red and cut up a little from the fight. I brought it to my lips and gave them a light kiss. Jamie let out a sigh, I knew this was important to him, being with his team was important to him.
In the end it was a minor concussion and a broken wrist. Jamie would be out for 3 weeks or more and I knew it was killing him. We headed back to the hotel with the team after the game. The bus ride was quiet; the only sound the snoring of some of the guys who fell asleep.
I followed Jamie up to the room and I could tell by the way he was acting that he was now entering the angry part of his night. I followed him quietly into the room and as soon as the door closed behind us I waited for the inevitable outburst that was about to happen.
“I can’t fucking believe that happened. I can’t believe I was such a fucking idiot. It isn’t fucking fair all I wanted to do was get the guys into it and now I’m out and I can’t fucking do anything. We need the points, the team needs me and I failed them,” Jamie yelled to no one in particular. I stood at the door waiting to see if he was going to say anything else.
“Jamie” I said and moving towards him but he shook his head.
“Holly this game is my life, besides you this is all I have and I just lost it for a month, maybe more. This team is like my family and I let them down,” he said.
“I know it sucks Jamie and I’m sorry that this happened to you,” I said finally sitting next to him on the bed. He laid back and I followed, resting my head on his chest. We stayed like that for a while, not saying anything. Eventually we both got up and Jamie took off his suit and I slipped off my jersey and shirt and put on one of his T-shirt. We got into bed and fell into our usual position of Jamie on his back and me on my stomach with one leg draped across Jamie’s and my head on his chest. I tried to get comfortable but Jamie was tense and that made it hard. I eventually gave up and sat up, moving so that I was straddling Jamie. He looked at me confused, I looked at the clock, which read 11:51, and I knew he just had to put this day behind him.
“In 9 minutes today will be over. In 9 minutes we’ll put this behind us and move forward” I said to him, moving forward so our foreheads were touching. “For the next 9 minutes you can be upset, you can cry and be hopeless but I'm only giving you 9 minutes. Then were going to go to sleep and tomorrow when we wake up were going to continue this trip with the team, you’re going to sit in the box with me for the next game and were going to cheer on the guys.” I whispered “You’re going to be okay and the team is gong to be okay” I added before giving him a kiss and sliding off f him and back into our position.
The next morning we woke up to the sound of Tyler’s fists pounding against the door. I swung it open ready to yell at him for waking us up when he rushed into the room, shutting it behind him.
“I came to warn you that there’s a storm a coming” Tyler said and gave me a once over noticing I wasn’t really clothed “you should put pants on” he added without missing a beat.
“I was sleeping if you didn’t know,” I said moving back into the room and slipping on some yoga pants. “What’s happening that you decided to barge in?” I asked with a yawn. Jamie was up but still trying to wake himself, he sat there rubbing his eyes.
“Sara sent me ahead of her to tell you that your sister is on her way up”
“What?” I said speechless.
“Me and Sara were heading downstairs this morning when we saw her in the Lobby. She was paying off the guy at the desk to get your room number so I came up right away.” He said and before I had a chance to register and react there was a knock at the door.
“Holly it’s me let me in I’m your family” my sister’s voice yelled from the other side. I stood there stunned looking from Tyler to Jamie, they were my family not the girl banging at the door.

Tyler POV

“I had a good night” Sara smiled at me as we rode down in the elevator together hand in hand.
“Me too” I smiled; it really was a good night. I wish she could have stayed with me longer but she had to get to class. The elevator bell rang and we got out on the ground floor. We were walking to the exit when Sara stopped in her tracks and turned to me.
“Tyler go back up now and tell Holly he sister is here, I’m going to try and slow her down” I was confused for a second but when I saw her sister handing over a hundred dollar bill to the girl at the desk I knew what was going on. I turned without saying anything and went for the stairs because I didn’t want to wait for the elevator. My heart was beating in my chest as I ran up the stairs. Holly and Jamie were two of my closest friends, she was a sister to me and Jamie was the brother I never had and I knew what Holly’s family did to them. There was no way I was going to let her sister ruin everything they had worked for.
