More Trouble

Alecia was still sitting at the dinner table Tuesday night when Jeremy came downstairs wearing his tracksuit, his whistle hanging from his neck. He frowned at her.

“We have to go, Leesh,” he said.

“Yeah,” Alecia agreed, but made no move to get up from the table. The knot in her stomach made her feel sick and she wondered if she was maybe getting the stomach flu. She hoped so.

“Are you planning to get ready?” Jeremy asked, tossing his water bottle into his gym bag.

“The thing is,” Alecia began, “I’m not feeling all that well. Maybe I should just stay home tonight.”

“This not feeling well wouldn’t have anything to do with Lexi would it?”

“I don’t know. My stomach hurts. I feel like I’m going to be sick.”

“You’ll have a break Thursday,” he said. “I have to cancel practice. And I’ll have a talk with everyone at the start of practice, and maybe a private one with Lexi. But you can’t hide from the situation, Leesh. You have to face it.”

“If I puke on the gym floor you have to clean it up,” Alecia reminded him.

“Come with me. If you still feel like you’re going to be sick once we start practising, I’ll let you sit out.”

“You’re a heartless man,” Alecia told him, pushing herself from the table.

“So I’ve heard.”
