"ARE YOU SURE THIS IS GOOD FOR MY KNEE?"
"i talked to your doctor. it's fine."he reassured me, driving us to a golf place.
i planned on making fun of him 100%, but at least i had an excuse.
"should i really be trusting you to be driving?" i asked, and he gave me a look, making me crack up laughing.
he let me play whatever music i wanted to, so currently, i had taylor swift's cruel summer on.
with the amount of times the album has come out, jake already knew the lyrics.
and when i tell you his singing was horrible, i literally had to fight with him and the volume, and his voice to the point where we eventually just started yelling out the lyrics as soon as toxic came on.
"you're toxic i'm slipping under with the taste of poison paradise!" we screamed the lyrics, and i threw my head back laughing.
these were the moments i enjoyed, just spending time with him, wether it was just taking a ride blasting music of him kicking my butt in creative.
but there were also times where i missed home, where i missed boston and wanted to go back.
i knew we'd have to go back so soon for training camp, so until the start of that, we would be going around edmonton finding adventures we could do.
"uh jake,"i paused, looking over to him as we pulled up to our destination, "this isn't a mini golf place."
"yeah i know i'm a fat liar."he grinned, and i laughed, as the two of us got out.
the view was beautiful, and breathtaking as the sunset in edmonton that july night. it amazes me on how my heart can fall in love with another city other than boston.
boston has been my home for as long as i have lived, and i never thought i'd be able to love something else other than hockey and my work.
i guess there's some other things i can fall in love with.
"you wanna tell me why we're up here?"i asked after awhile, sitting on the ground and he shrugged.
"i used to come up here when i was in high school, when i could and just came here to think y'know?" he told me, slipping his hands into his front pockets, "before i got drafted to the broncos, and just got wrapped up in hockey."
"i love everything i have and i'm so grateful for it, i just loved this spot and just missed it."he finished and a soft smile played on my lips.
"it's a great spot."i told him, and he sat down next to me.
"what about you? what was your spot in highschool?"he asked, and i shook my head.
"my highschool experience wasn't a good one, and ive pushed it into the past."i explained, and he nodded.
"c'mon,"he helped me up, and i brushed my pants off.
"let's go mini golfing."

( FLASHBACK TO JANUARY OF 2013! )
"I DONT GET WHY YOU CARE. YOURE TOO WRAPPED UP IN YOUR PARTYING TO EVEN CARE TYLER!"
i looked at tyler who looked furious.
"you need to be studying and i will always have time for you bristol! wether you want to realize it or not you are like a little sister to me."he told me, giving me a harsh glare.
"fuck off!"i yelled, "it is my highschool experience not yours! i will do whatever the hell i want to!"
"you can't be smoking or drinking b. if you want to work in medical you have to focus on school."he tried to get that into my head, and i shook my head.
"and you can't be partying. guess there are things we both need to work on."i hissed, walking out, but looking back at him one more time, "have fun with your hookup tyler."
i walked out, lighting a cigarette as i went to just walk around boston.
was this dangerous? yes, 100% yes, but maybe i'd be fine, and if i wasn't, i knew how to defend myself.
i came home in the early morning, and saw jack sitting on the couch, half asleep watching the game from the night before.
"go to bed."i grumbled chucking a blanket at him, and he trudged behind me, gently closing his door as soon as we reached it.
i went into my room, and stripped out of my clothes that night, before going to sleep.
god i needed things to be better.

THAT NEXT DAY, I STOOD NEXT TO BROOKE LAUGHING AT SOMETHING SHE HAD BROUGHT UP.
mikey walked up to the two of us, wrapping his arm around my shoulders, and pulling me into a side hug.
"you going to study hall so i can help you with biology?"mikey asked and i nodded, with lucy next to brandon.
"i'll see you later."i told brooke, and mikey and i walked towards study hall.
after he explained everything to me, and helped me with a few things it was dead quiet between the two of us.
"you and tyler get into another fight?"mikey asked as i finished number five and i nodded.
"we said some things that weren't really nice, and i essentially told him to have fun with whatever girl he was sleeping with last night."i explained, and mikey sighed.
"so you're not gonna talk to him?"he asked, knowing this happened a lot and i nodded.
"i'm sick of him being a hypocrite. telling me what i should and shouldnt be doing."i explained, and mikey gave me another side hug.
"you two will be fine. i can promise you that."
