My blades cut through the slick ice as I push forward with the puck on the end of my stick. I shoot it across to Bobby to avoid getting body slammed into the barriers, after all, I have a fight tonight and turning up with another injury, is not going to work out in my favour, especially after Cole chewed me out all week as I didn’t let on just how badly I was injured.

I stick right up by Bobby’s side, ready and waiting if he needs me. Jaxon comes flying up to Bobby’s other side so we each flank him as the rest of our team mates work defence and make a clear line for Bobby to shoot the puck straight into the net. He does just that and the crowd roar in excitement as their favourite team score yet again. Bobby claps me on the back right before Jaxon comes out of nowhere and slams him into the side while also trying to congratulate him.

Coach calls us to the side to give a quick pep talk before we head back to the centre of the ice to do it all over again.

We come off the ice, undefeated, as usual, and find ourselves at Micky’s later in the night.

I sit with the boys at the table and watch as they all become extremely intoxicated, especially Shorty who for some unknown reason, absolutely loves Micky’s bar.

I glance up to find Jaxon making his way over here and it’s damn clear, I’m his target and not the bar. Great, here comes the questions he has been dying to ask me all week. I consider bolting but that would be too damn obvious.

He takes the seat next to me. “Hey, man. What are you doing all the way over here? There’s a party going on and we’re the guests of honour.”

Hmm, what the hell am I going to tell him? “Just chilling out with Charli here,” I say, motioning behind the bar to Charli, who turns at the sound of her name and gives Jaxon a little nod before getting back to work.

I down the rest of my drink and subtly check the time, knowing I’m going to have to leave for my fight soon but also know it would be way too shady to just get up and leave without a word.

“Let me guess, you’ve got somewhere to be?” Jaxon says, letting me off the hook.

Shit, well that just made me feel like the biggest douche bag around. I wish I could be honest with these guys as I know our whole relationship would change. I know they
