My Hockey Alpha

Chapter 250: Hearts Still Beating

Nina

Luke and Matt decided to take shifts keeping an eye on Selena. I didn’t think that she would be able to accomplish much, and it seemed as though my words about the Luna opened her eyes a bit earlier, but I was still glad to have my friends around to help with that. I would have done it myself, but I was utterly exhausted from everything. It had been almost forty-eight full hours of hardly any sleep, aside from the couple of hours that Enzo and I slept in Frank’s truck, and sleep was calling to me.

We decided to go back to Enzo’s apartment. I grabbed a few things from my apartment before walking over with him, and when we entered, I was immediately hit with a wave of nostalgia. It had felt like an eternity since I had last set foot in this place, even though it had really only been a month.

“Home sweet home,” Enzo said, unlocking the door and swinging it open to reveal his dark, quiet, and oddly comforting dorm. “It’ll be good to get some sleep. You hungry? Need to shower?”

I nodded to both of those things. I was starving, filthy, and completely exhausted. Enzo directed me to the shower while he figured out dinner, and after standing beneath the hot water for upwards of twenty minutes and allowing it to wash away almost all of my worries, I returned to the living room wearing nothing but one of Enzo’s oversized t-shirts to see that Enzo had ordered a pizza and brought out a bottle of wine. He had the television on with a movie picked out, and had ordered some sides with the pizza.

“You didn’t have to do all of this,” I said with a chuckle as I approached, drying my damp hair still with a towel.

Enzo shrugged. “I was hungry, and I know you are, too,” he said gently. “And besides… I know you haven’t been eating well since… Well, since everything. I’d like to change that.”

I couldn’t help but smile. Enzo was right; ever since what happened with Edward, my appetite had been nothing but an uphill battle. I had lost a visible amount of weight, and it was getting to the point where I could feel the toll it was taking on my body. Even though things weren’t quite back to “normal” yet, and I honestly wondered if that would ever really even be possible, I was ready to have a small sense of normalcy in my life. And if that sense of normalcy began with eating pizza and drinking wine in Enzo’s apartment, then I was glad for it.

For a long time, we sat and watched the movie that Enzo picked out and ate too much pizza. By the time it was finished, I felt full and satisfied, and snuggled up against Enzo on the couch.
