18| Quite something

      "GET AWAY FROM ME." November snapped as she stood up, talking to the two Icelanders who had pushed her down before scoring.

"Feisty" One of them smirked before skating backwards and away

It was the beginning of the third period and November had just about reached her limits. Her whole team knew that Gunner and Sanderson were out for her ever since she had taken the puck before they scored. However, it wasn't that that really made her frustrated but more of the fact that Adam and Charlie kept asking her to sit out.

"GOLDBERG! You're out!" Nova heard Bombay holler as he switched him out for Julie. Internally, she were screaming from happiness.

"Good luck Goalie, you're going to need it" Goldberg told her as he passed her by

November swallowed a lump in her throat as she rested her stick on her thighs. This game was not doing her well but the girl was determined to at least get a goal.

"Hey, you alright?" she heard a soft familiar voice ask as she stared down at the ice

She pursed her lips and nodded, looking back up into familiar blue eyes she knew so well. "Of course."

She hadn't meant to say it in the such a bitter tone but she had and inside, Adam Banks' heart had broken ever so slightly.

She skated away from him, taking her spot at right wing after seeing Goldberg get back in due to Julie getting kicked out. All she could think was: someone make this game go faster please.

November grunted as she used all her might to push past the two Icelanders to get the puck. Both had fallen, making the crowd and Iceland bench gasp in shock due to her smaller demeanour. The girl quickly passed the puck over to where Adam was around near centre ice.

Instantly, the boy had taken off with November following behind him for support. She watched as he did a turn around one player, faking him out before making his way towards goal on a breakaway.

November came to a stop knowing Adam got everything under control. She watched with a content smile as she caught her breath. He finally deked out the goalie, Nova waiting for the puck to soar in.

Suddenly, she felt a hard hit at her back. The girl let out a small scream as she heard the buzzer go off while she fell hard to the cold ice.

"Yeah! We got one!" Adam cheered as he skated around the goal with his hands up in the air.

He moved his arm for the stick to bridge from the net to his arm as he cheered in celebration. Crack

Everything happened in such a rush with everyone's heads turning right to left. First with a small scream before another not even five seconds after.

Charlie, Guy, and Jesse furrowed their eyebrows before rushing over to the net where they saw Adam's celebration die down as he held his wrist.

Charlie and Jesse pushed the Icelander who had slashed Adam's wrist with his stick out of the way as they asked him if he was alright.

Guy skated around him, coming to his other side before he abruptly looked up in worry.

"W-where's November?" Adam asked in a rushed tone

Jesse looked over to where November had rolled over onto her back with a groan. "I don't think you want to know.."

Adam's attention snapped upwards instantly before he looked around to meet where her weak body lay on the ice.

Instantly, he pushed past Jesse and Charlie, skating over to Nova's side. He fell to his knees and dropped his stick, gloves, and helmet onto the ice.

"Nova!" He asked, shaking her with his hand, "November!"

"What.." she groaned out as she closed her eyes and held her rib

"You're okay?" He breathed out, his voice calming down slightly. "Thank God"

He instantly hugged her, picking up her limp body to embrace her tightly. She groaned out in pain as she held her rib and left arm.

She was in immense pain but she wouldn't admit that. Her head was pounding and her eyes felt heavy. Her neck was sore and her shoulder felt stiff. She could barely move.

"Come on," Adam said, helping her up with his left hand, "let's get you to the bench"

Nova nodded before stopping and looking at him with furrowed eyebrows. Her eyes wandered to his wrist which he held against his chest cautiously.

"Wh-what happened to your wrist?" She asked in a weak voice as he lead her to the bench

Adam looked down at her and sent her a reassuring smile. "Jerk just slashed it with his stick after I scored. It's nothing"

November opened her mouth to speak but she suddenly found herself on the bench with Dwayne and Averman surrounding her in worry and care.

Adam looked at the two and nodded to himself before tapping Dwayne on the shoulder. The boy didn't even have to speak for the cowboy to know what he wanted

"I got her," Dwayne reassured, "don't you worry"

Adam nodded and looked to where Averman had his arm wrapped around her shoulder while she rested her head on his. He felt his stomach drop slightly as he let out a sigh and shake of his head.

He sent them both smiles before slipping his helmet back on and skating back onto the ice.

"Those stupid Iceland jerks," Averman mumbled as he stared off into the ice, "that hit was completely unsportsmanlike and unnecessary."

Nova chuckled lightly while Averman rubbed her shoulder soothingly. "Look at you using bigger words"

Averman sent her a smile before Dwayne spoke up with a small frown on his face. His shook his head and looked as if he was deep in thought- not something people would see from him everyday. "People have got to start treating you ladies with more respect"

Nova let out a small laugh and grunt as she sat up properly. "It's okay Dwayne.. I'm used to it. It's hockey after all"

Dwayne shook his head with his eyebrows furrowed. "I understand that but they're even disrespectful off the ice.."

Nova pursed her lips together before sending them both the best smile she could muster. She weakly slung her arms over their shoulders, bringing them into tight side hugs. "At least I've got you two who sure know how to treat a lady right. You're both going to make great boyfriends to some special lady one day"

Dwayne smiled while Averman chuckled, pushing his glasses up his nose slightly. "You know," he began in his usual joking voice, trying to lighten the mood, "Adam would make a great boyfriend one day.. he already acts like one to you"

Nova looked at him playfully with her eyes narrowed. She hid her small smile as she used the hand that was slung across his shoulder to lightly slap the back of his head.

"Get your head out of the gutter, Averman," Nova said as she looked down at her skates trying to hide her small smile and incoming blush, "Adam Banks only cares about hockey. Whatever girl he manages to ever care about more must be quite something.."

Brynn speaks !
I really decided to say MIA for a few days- I'm sorry.

BUTTT I MADE A ONESHOT/PREFERENCE BOOK. I'll be putting one shots, preferences and requests primarily about Charlie, Adam, Averman, and Dwayne but there will be one shots about this book series (the super banks series) and so you should check it out!
