Kristie and Jane were sitting in the stands of your rugby game.
"I don't know what else to do? The kid absolutely hates me" Kristie said
"The kid doesn't hate you" Jane said with a laugh
"Yes she does! She won't talk to me and avoids me!" Kristie exclaimed
"Maybe it's just a dislike for you. I mean you are dating her mom. It could just be her way of protecting her mom" Jane said patting Kristie knee
"This is going to be a long weekend" Kristie said wondering if she made the right choice in offering to watch you this weekend while your mom was away on a work trip
"She's eleven, just buy some pizza and put on a movie. Or just let her hang out in her room" Jane said causing Kristie sign
"I want her to like me" Kristie said
"She will" Jane said confidently causing Kristie to shake her hand as the both turned back to the field
Kristie had been dating your mom, Natalie for 8 months. Natalie didn't introduce you to Kristie until until they had dated for 6 months. From the beginning you had barely spoken to or even acknowledged Kristie. Natalie said it would take time but Kristie was worried that if it goes on for to much longer that it could end there relationship.
They both watched as you get passed the ball
Kristie jumped to her feet as soon as she saw you get tackled by two opposing players. She may not understand rugby that much but she knew that it was an illegal hit
"Shit shit shit" Kristie mumbled she as ran on to the field with Jane right behind her once they saw you not getting up and the coaches rushing to you.
Kristie could see your eyes were brimmed with tears that you were holding back once the coaches gently rolled you over
"What hurts?" The coach asked
"Head, chest, arm" you gritted out
"I'm going to lift you shirt okay" the coach said causing you to nod
Everyone's eyes widen at the bruising already appearing on your ribs
"I'm going to get the car" Jane said before taking off while Kristie nodded and focused on helping the coaches get you off the field
——-
Kristie had just gotten your into your house after your guys trip to the hospital. You had a broken arm and 3 fractured ribs, with the rest being bruised, and you some how managed to not get a concussion.
"Thanks for helping" Kristie said to Jane
"No need, just let me know if you guys need anything" Jane said patting Kristie on the back "take care of her" She continued before heading out the door
Kristie then turn to go find you already slowly making your way up the stairs
"What are you doing?" Kristie asked worriedly
"Going up stairs" you gasped out, as you tried to hide the pain you where in
"Just let me help you" Kristie said looking at you as you glared back
"I don't need your help"
"I would say otherwise" Kristie frustratedly countered as you turned away and painfully made your way up the rest of the stairs
"I don't like you, you know that right?" You said as you walked up causing Kristie bite her lip to keep from responding, your just a kid she kept repeating. Following your slow movements in case you needed help.
"What are you doing now?" Kristie asked once you both finally made it up the stairs
"I'm taking a shower" you said like it was obvious, you did smell from playing most of the game
"Okay, do you want help?" Kristie asked before you just glared and walked into the bathroom
Kristie waited outside but after a few minutes she still didn't hear the water running, "you okay" she nervously asked she knocked on the door
When she didn't get a response, Kristie slowly opened the door to see you sitting in the towel seat in pain as you tired to remove your shirt
"Please let me help you" Kristie pretty much begged at the point, struggling to watch you put your self through more pain then nesscarry
You looked at her, tears falling. Kristie hated seeing you this vulnerable and in pain
You finally nodded, willing to accept the help.
Kristie helped you slowly finish taking off your sports bra before you stepped into the shower.
Kristie left to get you clothes before quickly rushing back to the bathroom, worrying that you would need help.
Kristie walked into the bathroom, laying your clothes on the sink. "Just yell if you need anything, I'll be right outside the door" Kristie said before walking out and standing outside the door. Not really sure on what to do
When she hurt the shower turn off, Kristie heard her name through the door
"Can you help me" you asked looking defeated as you only had on your short
Kristie slowly moved her way toward you and helped you get the big t-shirt over you injured arm without causing to much pain to your ribs
Once your were dressed you slowly walked to your moms room, gently laying down on her bed. Pain, discomfort, and exhaustion taking over, you didn't even try to get under the covers
Kristie slowly made her way over to you. Gently adjusting a pillow under you arm before laying a blanket over you.
"I lied" you said catching Kristie attention as she went to leave the room
"I do like you. You treat my mom really good and make her happy" you said "this is the happiest I've seen her in a long time"
This caused Kristie to move to sit on the bed beside you, tryin to think of something to say but you continued talking
"One of my moms last girlfriends was around all the time. She was helping me with my homework and coming to my games. I guess I got used to her being around and then she wasn't around anymore and it hurt" you said
"I don't want to go through that again" you continued as you finally looked up a Kristie who was looking at you sadly, thinking carefully what to say next
"I don't want you to either. I can't even imagine what it would be like to not have your mom in my life anymore" Kristie said before taking a pause to make sure you heard the next part
"I'm hoping that we can also have a relationship that I couldn't imagine losing you also. I love you mom, a lot. I'm not planning on every losing her, which means I don't plan on every losing you either. I'm here for the long ride. And if on some off chance your mom and I's relationship end, which I won't let happen, I'll still be there for you if you want me too" Kristie said sincerely
"Promise?" You asked looking at her unsure
"Pinky promise" Kristie said holding up her pinky causing you to smile as you locked pinkies with her
"Now go to bed" Kristie said going to leave to sleep on the couch
"Will you stay?" You asked causing Kristie to freeze in shock
"It will get you brownie points with my mom" you continued, hoping she would stay
"Like I need brownie points with you mom" Kristie said, moving to lay on the other side of the bed causing you to smile
"I'm picking the movie though" Kristie grabbing the remote causing you to fake glare at her
"Deal if we can get dunkin in the morning" You said looking over at Kristie who laughed before sayin "you got your self a deal kid"
That's would be how your mom found you to in the morning, you resting your head on Kristie shoulder while you guys slept. Only making your mom fall more in love with Kristie
