"Please welcome to the rink, the New York Leopards." Jackson skates into the rink banging on his chest like a gorilla.
Ugh he pisses me off so much.
Isaac's team skates into the rink just as Jackson finds my eyes and I pull the biggest smirk out of nowhere.
I'm wearing Issac's jersey mostly to surprise Issac but also to piss off Jackson.
"Someone's angry." Beth says next to me.
"Someone needs to learn his place." I mutter back.
Beth's only here for the eye candy, hockey guys can be attractive when they want to be. Don't tell Isaac I thought that or I might be divorced before I'm even married.
The game begins and everything goes smoothly, Issac manages to keep his distance from Jackson and the puck is being passed around like crazy.
Jackson manages to get the puck in his slimy hands, furiously skating towards the net when all of the sudden he's on the floor.
Landon.
Landon has body slammed Jackson straight onto the floor with no hesitation. Issac is trying to pull Landon away and now Elijah is also skating over.
"Landon Quinn report to the sideline right now." Shit, now my brother hash been disqualified and possibly going to be banned from playing for months.
As the game continues, Jackson plays as if he was never hurt, I can see from his eyes he's mad and he wants revenge.
Landon sulks off side. So much for hating his baby sister. Between him and Issac I think I'll be safe from anyone for life now.
"That's another goal for the panthers!" Yes, our team scored for the 5th time tonight, Issac had put 2 out of 5 and Landon 1 before he got sent off for quite literally sending Jackson to the other end of the rink.
I stifle a laugh just thinking about it.
"Ana should have been here today, then we could triple date after for food." I joke.
"More like fuck off, you think I'm going near your brothers dick again. Fair enough I was wrong about him cheating on me but still he called me his ex girlfriends name." She has a point. It's been almost 2 years since Elizabeth and Landon had that fling.
I know Landon has changed massively now, since dad went to jail really but Beth doesn't forget easily, she will forgive but that woman has a remarkable sense of remembering everything.
Half time gets called and I run down some steps as Issac skates towards the nearest exit point of the rink.
"You're wearing my jersey." The first words he says to me.
Shit, should I not.
"I'm sorry I can take it off." My hands reach the bottom of the jersey to begin pulling, I've definitely offended him.
His hands reach and connect with mine, "the only person taking that jersey off you, is me, tonight. You're the only girl who could look so good in my jersey baby."
My eyes gather tears of joy but I hold them back. Because I don't want Issac to see me crying every time I'm fucking with him.
"I love y- I love watching you play." Fucking hell Liliana, well done.
"Oh really?" Issac one hundred percent knows what I nearly said. "I love looking at your ex boyfriend knowing you are coming home with me."
"Well please be careful because he definitely won't rest until he has his revenge for what happened earlier." My arms wrap around his body and he placed a kiss on my head.
"I know beautiful, it'll be okay." Issac gives me a warm smile before kissing me one last time and skating off for his briefing.
I take this opportunity to make my way over to Landon who is still on the bench, this time scrolling through his phone.
He notices me and places his phone down standing up.
Immediately I embrace him with a hug, "you crazy idiot. You shouldn't have done that." I pat his back then sit next to him on the bench.
"The fucking cunt face deserved it." Landon my sweet mouthed brother everyone.
Me and Landon talk while watching the match, I see Beth is flirting with some random guy so she's fine for now.
Mine and Landon's eyes stay on the rink while we talk, both knowing we are taking the conversation in but also focusing on our friends and my boyfriend.
"Beth ever speak about me?" Yeah lovely things of course.
"Not really, she's over it Landon."
"Okay, I'm sorry for everything I did and said before you know." His eyes meet mine, tears forming.
"Stop, I understand why you acted like that now. I'm sorry for not realising it was happening to you too."
"I should've-" Landon cuts off after turning his head back to the rink. He freezes, mouth ajar.
When I look over my whole body freezes just like my brothers.
Blood.
Blood.
Blood.
It's coating the rink like paint to a wall. I run up to the barrier and I regret looking because what I just saw is something I'll most likely never recover from.
Someone I love in pain.
Isaac lays on the cold floor with his leg fully exposed, Jackson is being pulled away by coaches and his team.
That's when it clicks, Jackson slashed Isaac's knee on purpose. That's when I stop thinking and run.
My feet step over the barrier and now I'm running on ice, quite literally. I lose balance a few times but steady myself reaching Issac.
I don't even care as I push everyone out of the way to get to him. "Issac! Issac I'm here."
"Lil don't panic I'm okay, okay? I'm okay." He's really comforting my when his leg is sliced open.
"I'm so sorry, this is all my fault." Landon has his skates on behind me now.
"Don't be stupid Landon, it was going to happen cos he's a dick and can't handle I got something he wants." Issac winces.
The first aid trained doctors come over in gripped shoes asking everyone to move. Landon and Elijah holds my hands to help me off the rink.
"Liliana!" Issac shouts. "We still won baby. Just like you said."
This man, he's so beautiful.
"I'm so proud of you." I shout back.
Elijah drives me, Landon and Beth to the hospital to meet Issac there.
Ana is also on her way, I called her as soon as Issac was placed in an ambulance.
"He will only need a few stitches Lil, don't panic." Beth wraps her arm around me so I rest my head on her shoulder.
"Yeah honestly he's okay." Elijah adds.
"I know it's just—" Landon cuts me off.
"You love him don't you?" I see his eyes in the rear view mirror, looking at me to say he knows.
"I- yeah. I think I'm starting too." I give in, I really do believe that I'm staring to love him.
"That's cute and all but we are here." Elijah exits the car first Ana apologises for his quick response and then we both get out of the car following our brothers.
"Issac Haywood?" Landon asks the receptionist. She responds with a rook number and I'm the first to find the way.
All four of us stand in the lift for what feels like hours. We have to go to one of the highest fucking floors.
Bingo, as soon as the lift opens I run towards Issac's room. Two doctors nearly get trampled down along the way but I make it.
Before entering I knock on the door then open it.
The smile on his face tells me he's happy to see me. "Hello darling."
"Hello beautiful boy." We have around 30 seconds together before the others enter, bombarding him with questions.
Issac has a wrap around his leg, 20 stitches in and lots of pain relief.
Eventually Beth and Elijah leave to go home which leaves Landon and me sitting with Issac, Ana was here before us, getting coffee as we came in and had to leave once making sure Issac was okay. She will most likely shut the florist all day tomorrow just to sit with him though, but today is the day before Mother's Day so flowers are selling a lot.
"I'm being discharged later tonight so Ana doesn't have to worry about the shop." It's as if he's psychic.
"Always thinking about everyone else huh." I nod at him.
"Just like you Lil." Landon joins in.
"Oh shush." We all laugh.
Landon stands up giving me a quick hug before announcing he's being picked up by Lewis and Luka.
Thankfully Ana drove here in my car and went home with Beth and Elijah so I can take Isaac home later.
"Thank you for nearly ruining your career for me." I chuckle a little bit. "I really appreciate it."
"Anytime baby sis-" he moves closer to my ear before continuing, "-now tell him how you feel, he could really use cheering up after today." Landon pulls away and I nod.
"You kept my jersey on all day." Issac says after Landon closes the door.
"I did, I was panicking about you, didn't have time to change sorry." Issac puts his head down, shakes it and laughs a little.
"If it was up to me I'd keep you in it 24/7."
"Oh so you'd fuck me while I wear it." Bold move for me. I'm turning into Beth.
"Preferably while Jackson watches but then he'd also get to see you half naked so preferably also not." My eyes widen as I turn bright pink.
I lay down next to Issac on his bed, careful not to bump into his leg. He wraps his arms around me and I've never felt safer.
"I love these moments with you." I say not realising what I just said.
"I love them too, every thing to do with you I love—" he pauses for a moment, "—in fact I love you Liliana."
"I- Issac—"
"It's okay, I don't expect you to say it back, I don't expect anything from you, but I do Lil."
"Issac." I'm speechless, because just before he told me he loved me, I was about to say the same. I just really didn't think he'd beat me too it.
"I love you. I love you so much Lilia—" this time I cut him off with a kiss.
"I love you Issac Rowan Haywood. I've never been happier with anyone but you. I love you. Every single part of you." This time it's Isaac's turn to go bright pink.
We hold eachother for a few more minutes in silence before he mutters something, I reply with a questionable look.
"I said I can't wait to marry you one day."
And with that I cuddle him closer and start thinking of the wedding dress I will walk down the isle in.
