Ducks vs Hawks

Nobody knew it yet, but I was going to get my revenge on these boys today whether they liked it or not. Adam may have forgotten what I told him the other day but I'm sticking to my word, I don't care how much trouble I get in for it. Hell, I'll even get kicked out of the game if I have to.

"Alright!!! Ducks, we need to start off strong! Jesse, left puck side, Maddi, your on right puck side. Goldie, your in the net like always. Guy, you and Fulton are our defense. Adam, your getting the face off." 

"What?! Coach. their gonna be gunning for him!" I yelled to him as soon as I heard him say that.
"McGill is taking the puck and Larson his left offence, they always start their games like that. Reilly is gonna try something I know it!"

I was fully convinced that something bad was gonna happen at this game. And my gut feeling is usually never wrong about this sort of thing.
"Well I'm not letting you take the puck against him! Banks can look after himself and can deal with this stuff with a calm head. You can not."

I knew that coach was right but I really didn't want him to be. I wanted him to be wrong but I was gonna kill someone out there tonight, I knew it.
"Now, everyone get out there and give it your all!" Everyone cheered and we got on the ice.

"Hey Banks! Don't forget what side you're on." Jesse scowled at Adam and if I was allowed to punch him, I would have. The game hasn't even started and people are getting on my nerves. Adam just skated off the ice but before Jesse could coach grabbed his arm.

"He's a duck Jesse, and he'll play like a duck." I smirked towards Jesse and we quickly skated onto the ice and into our positions. 
"Maddi!" Coach yelled and then pointed to the Hawks positions.

"This is why your right offence!" He yelled and I looked over to see that I was up against Larson. I had to make sure to keep him distracted so that he didn't try and squash Adam like a bug. He was the softer one of the two and he still had a soft spot for Adam, we all knew it. 

Adam quickly skated into his position and if looks could kill, I think Adam would be dead right now. Both McGill and Larson were staring at him with the coldest looks possible. Adam was staring back and I think scared McGill a little bit. 

As soon as the puck was dropped, McGill tried to hit it slightly just so he could go after Adam. I managed to keep Larson away from him so they weren't able to sandwich him, that seemed to get on some peoples nerves, but Adam still got knocked out of the way and the Hawks had the puck. 

We were all chasing the puck but Guy managed to get it and start skating with it when a Hawk guy came up to him. Guy ducked and flipped the guy over, knocking both of them to the ground. It looked cool but it would have hurt.

Adam had the puck and saw two guys coming at him so he thought that it would be a good idea to just hit the puck, I tried to get it but was just too far away and they ended up with it up their end of the rink. 

It was up our end but I pushed someone over and ended up with the puck. I was getting on so many peoples nerves tonight, but that's what makes the game fun. Not to long after Larson came up to me and hooked my legs, making me fall over and lose the puck. If he wanted to play like that, then I was going to play like that.

Adam managed to get it behind the net and was hitting it to me when I bet you can guess who came straight to him and checked him into the boards, and really bad. I shot the puck to Guy but I think he fumbled it a little but I wasn't paying attention. 

I was getting ready to come at the boys because the puck was near us and Adam saw so he quickly got out of the way. I pretended to be going for the puck when I managed to check them both into the boards and make them both fall down. They were so mad but I was fine. 

The Hawks ended up scoring which I later got told was my fault for getting distracted and blah blah blah. Adam got up and I looked over to him. He was swaying left to right and was breathing a lot harder then he needed to be. 

"Banksy! You okay?" I asked once I skated to him. 
"Yeah, I'm fine Madz, it just kinda hurt that's all." I could tell he was lying but I didn't want to go into too much detail about it at the start of the game. 

After just another minute, the Hawks scored again. I was getting frustrated now. They were playing so dirty and nobody could even see it but us. This third seemed to be going on forever, because the Hawks scored another goal and we couldn't even get it up their end. 

The third ended and we all went back to the box. 
"Don't be scared of them ducks, that's what they want." Coach kept going with his speech and it was super inspirational but I couldn't help be worried about this third.

I was off for the start of this because coach said I needed my energy and I kept seeing Reilly pointing Adam to his players. A few times I saw him look at me and he would just smirk. I wanted to wipe that smirk right off his face. 

Finally Charlie managed to get the puck and he passed it to Adam. 
"C'mon Adam you can do it!" I yelled from the box extra loud so everyone could hear me. Just after that McGill skated up to him as fast as he could and he pushed Adam over like it wasn't foul play or anything. 

I almost jumped the gate, and I was almost over when I felt Guy grab me and pull me down. We had a sort of brother sister relationship because of Connie and Charlie. I tried to escape but he wouldn't let me go. 

I watched Adam slide on the ice, get the score but I also saw him hit his head. 
"ADAM!!!!" I screamed. It could have been happy because we scored but it wasn't. Everyone was getting set up but Adam wasn't moving. 

I saw the ref call in the paramedics and they paused the game. 
"Guy let go of me!" I yelled and managed to escape and skate over to Adam. 
"Okay we need the paramedics in, he's injured. Everyone out of the way." The ref was moving everyone but I was trying to get to him.

"I'm sorry Miss but you need to wait until he's fully secured." He said to me and I stopped trying to push through. I could just see McGill slowly skating out of the way and I didn't care who saw me or what happened. 

"Hey McGill!" I yelled and he slowly turned around to look at me with a smug expression on his face.
"What was the point of that?! Were you worried we were gonna beat you because we actually play fairly!" 

I was screaming at the top of my lungs and everyone was just quiet.
"Was your coach afraid that he wouldn't be in first place for the second time in his life!? Because of the same person?!?! He was meant to be your friend you idiot!" 

I had tears streaming down my face, and no refs could stop me because it wasn't a fight.
"You could have seriously injured him and you called yourself his friend?! You, your coach, and your entire team have gone too far with this dumb game!"

Adam was fully secured and waking up by now but I was busy.
"IT'S A GAME FOR CRYING OUT LOUD! WHO CARES IF YOU WIN OR YOU LOSE, AS LONG AS YOU HAVE FUN! But you guys got so carried away with your winning and your cocky attitudes that you forgot what the game was originally about! And in doing so you could have permanently injured someone." 

"So I'm done playing nice, and I'm done letting you guys just stomp all over people because you are all just such sore losers! And we are gonna see that at the end of this game." With that finally out of my system, I skated back over to Adam where he has gathered a crowd.

"Wow Madz, I thought you were gonna like punch him or something." Adam laughed and I grabbed his hand to hold.
"Nah I'd rather beat these losers by being on the ice then in the box. Besides, someone has to get all the game winning scores now that you're out." 

We laughed a little and then the rest of our team came over.
"Did I at least get the goal?" Adam asked and Jesses was at his other side. 
"Yeah, man." Jesse sort of laughed. He was now getting along with Adam. They start getting along when he's half concussed? 

"Jesse do me a favor. Kick some Hawk butt." Jesse laughed.
"Alright. Cake-Eater." Adam let go of my hand as they started to wheel him out of the rink to see if he has any injuries. 

"Hey Phil. Please tell me everything when you find out okay?" I asked Adams dad once he got down from the stands. He gave me a quick side hug and then nodded his head to me as they walked off. 

Coach lightly grabbed me and skated me back with him while the others made their own way to the benches. Reilly was talking to his team when coach interrupted him.
"You got somethin' to say to me Bombay?" He asked and then looked down at me.
"Or has your mini you said everything." I swear I would have pounced on him if Bombay weren't holding my shoulder.

"To think I wasted all those years worrying about what you thought." Reilly's face dropped when he heard this. Things were getting serious, much more serious.
"You're goin' down, Reilly." 


Bit of a long chapter here but I'm really trying to get this done. I'm actually quite proud of this chapter and I can't wait to go through this book and edit everything once I'm done. Anyways, really hope you guys enjoyed this chapter, I got emotional writing it because I had to play through the scenes in my head and I cried a lot.  Almost at 8k reads, thats absolutely insane!
