The accident (Jenna)

It has been a year since you joined the Vegas Golden Knights and you are in the process of getting ready for training.

"Do you want some help Jenna," Your partner on the ice, Marc asks as he places his gear on the floor.

"Nope I'm good thank you," You respond. You are used to getting the gear on. It's a good thing that Marc is trying to help you. He offers his hand so he can help you up.

"Thank you Marc," You respond as he pulls you up. Two minutes later you have made it to the goal and you are bracing for a shot from William Karlsson. He tries to launch the puck over your head but you are able to grab it out of the air. You quickly use your stick to give the puck to him.

"Thank you," William remarks. He heads towards the stick handling drills. You get ready for the next shot. Ryan Reaves tries to draw you out. You try to reach the goal before he can shoot but you are a second too late. You barely miss the puck and it bothers you because you rarely leave the net.

Don't worry about it Jen," Ryan tries to make you feel better. It is the day after the training session and you are throwing a tennis ball up in the air while you wait for Marc. Some of the others join you in the change room. They are followed by Marc.

"I see you are ready before me," Marc says as he places his gear on the floor.

"It's better to be early not late," You retort. You toss him the tennis ball.

"Let me get ready first," He throws it back. After five minutes of tossing the tennis ball by yourself Marc is finally ready. You bounce the ball off the wall for him. He is able to snatch the ball from the air. Twenty minutes later you have finished the warm ups and you are waiting for the face off. Connor McDavid snatches the puck. There is a wrestling match for the puck but it doesn't last long. You brace for the shot. There is a loud clap as the puck sails through the air. However you are able to stop it using your body. You are impressed that you were able to stop one of Connor McDavid's shots.

"Zach," You call out as he passes you.

"Thank you," Zach responds as he gets the puck from you. He soon passes it to Ryan. After some back and forth between Ryan, William and Patrick Brown the goal horn sounds. You add your cheers to the crowd. Your cheers are soon interrupted by the face off. At least Patrick has won the face off. He is however struggling with the defence. One of the defencemen snatched the puck from him. They quickly get it to Connor McDavid but he soon passes it to one of the wings. You brace for the impact. The clap rings through the stadium. You don't have to worry about it because the puck bounces off the crossbar. Zach has taken possession of the puck but he is struggling.

"Zach I'm here," You offer because you know you are able to assist.

"Thank you," He replies as he passes the puck to you. He is able to break free and you pass him the puck back. After some back and forth between the forwards Ryan tried to score but the Oilers' goaltender snatches the puck from the air. It looks like it will be a tough game. Patrick gets the puck back through the defenceman's legs. He uses the confusion to score. Nine minutes later Connor McDavid is going for the buzzer beater. You brace yourself again. The puck comes flying towards you. You catch it as the period comes to an end. You join the rest of the team at the bench.

"Those were some good saves Jen," Marc remarks. You can tell that he is itching to play but something tells you the coach is happy with the way you are going.

"Thank you Marc," You reply. You have a massive gulp from your water bottle. Five minutes later you are back in the net. You are watching the face off with anticipation. William gets it from the other centre. There is some more back and forth but this time it is successful. The goal horn sounds. Ryan is unsuccessful in the next face off but the defence jumps on the opportunity. However Connor is too quick for them. He sends the puck flying towards you. You can feel the pressure of the rubber hitting your face through the helmet. You fall to the ground. You are aware that the medical team is trying to help the pain is too immense. The next thing you know you are awake in the local hospital with your brother at the end of your bed.

"Hey Auston," You greet your brother.

"Jen are you alright?" Auston asks. You can tell that he is worried about you. It makes sense because ever since he found out that you are playing as a goaltender he hasn't been happy.

"I'm fine despite the throbbing in my nose," You respond. Marc comes in with some flowers and what appears to be a get well card.

"Sorry Auston," Marc says as Auston doges past.

"I will see you later," Auston leaves. Marc places the flowers on the table. He passes you the get well card. You rip it open to find various messages. It puts a smile on your face but it doesn't last long.

"Aww," You complain. You have definitely broken your nose. You start to think about what other damage has occurred.

"Marc did the doctor tell anything?" You decide to see if you can get any information from him. He shakes his head. Marc has a sad puppy look on his face.

"I'm sorry I can't be of much help," He responds. He takes the seat that your brother was occupying. You start to think of why he would come here when he has better things to do. You decide to ask him about it later. Right now you are happy for the company. Auston soon comes back.

"Is there anything I can get you Jen?" Marc asks. He gets up so Auston can sit down if he wants. You know he is just trying to help.

"Not yet but I will let you know if I do," You reply. You know Auston will probably have dealt with that stuff.

"Thank you for the offer though," You add to make Marc feel better.

"I'll see you tomorrow," Marc says as he leaves. You get the feeling that there is more to his gesture. At least you have to support of your team.

"Anyway you should be leaving too," You know that Auston will have a game. He doesn't move.

"I've asked Sheldon if I could skip the next game so I could look after you," Auston responds. You give up for now because you need to rest. At least you will have help from both your brother and Marc.
