 part #51

i woke up and i was alone with taylor swift playing.  i slowly propped myself up, and saw a note on my desk.  i hobbled over to get it, and it was a note.

 

you sleep like a baby.  had lax practice at 5:15.  i'll text you when i'm done.
-cordin
he's going to drive me insane. i thought, and got my phone to text megan to drive me to our practice.  i don't want to watch, it's just going to make me feel worse about not playing.  i got changed into my orange ultimate lax bro shirt, and mesh shorts with my slides and high black socks, and she was already on her way.  well it was kindof late now that i looked at the time.  practice started in 15 minutes.  when she got to my house, i walked out to her black bmw, and the look on her face was horrified. 
"ohmygosh!" she said, and touched my cast.
"i fractured my clavicle and pelvis, but they don't hurt as bad."
"i'm so sorry ray !" she said, and pulled out of my driveway.
"it's alright, it's not your fault." i said, and went through the details of the accident with her, and explained the extent of my concussion.  we pulled into the school's parking lot when i finally finished.
"you never should've left my house." she said.
"yeah, but i had to." i said.
"why?" she asked.
"i'll tell you later." i said as she pulled into a spot.  we walked up to the field and i had to watch them practice.  it hurt to watch them practice, but wilson brought me up weights to lift.  i did that for a little, and i watched them condition and they did a cool down jog.  i limped to the middle of the field and took my captain's spot in the middle of the circle.
"are you okay?" a freshman yelled out.
"yea i'm fine." i giggled, and sighed to myself.  i laid down while they continued stretching.  when they finished we brought it in and wilson discussed key games in the near future.  i felt so dislocated from the whole conversation.  we broke up and i hobbled over to the bench with amy.
"how long do you have that for?" she asked
"around 4-6 weeks i think."
"ouch. that's like right when the season ends." she said.  she had bright blonde hair and her brown eyes glowed with concern.
"not if you guys make playoffs." i added. "i'd work really hard to play in those games if i get it off in time."
"like we could do that." she scoffed.
"yes you can." i encouraged.
"really ray? we're hurting without you.  we should've had that team by at least 3 goals and we barely won."
"that's not my impact." i whispered.  she just looked at me and shook her head.
"think whatever you want.  truth is, ray we need you.  get better soon." she said, and picked up her bag and stick and walked away. i walked down to the gate where megan was.  she flipped her hair at me and we walked towards her car.  guys' lax was done too, and they were hanging out by their cars.  i saw jake standing my megans car, and so did she, and suddenly i was invisible to her.  i stopped, not wanting to third wheel, and out of the corner of my eye i saw some skaters.  i looked over and steve was staring right at me.  i smiled and he laughed and waved.  i started limping over to him, and he held his hands up and skated over towards me.  i sat down on the steps to the snack bar. he jumped off his skateboard, eyes shining and all. 
"hey you." he smiled.
"hey yourself." i said, and watched as he looked me up and down.
"what happened to you now?" he asked.
"i got in a fight and lost." i said sarcastically.
"that's what i thought." he said, and slyly smiled at me.
"nah i just got in a car accident.  completely my fault." i blinked back tears.
"how long are you in this?" he asked.
"about a month or so." i said.
"well that blows, no skating for you, i guess."
"well i haven't touched a skateboard since.." i trailed off.
"since that day in the rain." he finished my sentence.  i silently nodded my head. "as if i didn't teach you anything." he laughed.
"no, you taught me some valuable lessons." i argued.
"like what?"
"don't get drunk. bad things happen." i smiled, and so did he, but mine quickly faded.  he sat down next to me and looked deep into my eyes.
"listen rach, can we just like, start over? i've been thinking really hard, and i know i overreacted."  he smiled, and stuck out his left hand.
"so hi, my name's steve." i shook it with my good hand.
"i'm rachel." i smiled.
"listen rachel, i haven't been out to dinner in a really long time, so will you go with me this weekend?" he asked.
"of course." i smiled.
"good then it's a date." he smiled, and his friend eric honked his horn at him, and he got up and waved goodbye.
