Chapter 824 - V3 ch59 (Ice) (1/2)

Kyle guided me to the trainer's tent, obviously knowing how to find it better than I. He also was the one to speak to the trainer for the both of us. ”We just need a couple bags of ice.” He said to the trainer who was bandaging an ankle of another baseball player.

The trainer pointed to an ice machine that was plugged into an extension cord. ”Fill up your own bags. Do you need me to saran wrap it to your body?”

I looked up to Kyle.

Kyle nodded. ”Yea, I'll need help, but I can help my brother.” Kyle nodded towards the ice machine, taking me over.

”Brothers on the same team? That's pretty cool.” The player who was getting his ankle wrapped remarked.

Kyle's lips twitched. ”Yea, we get that a lot.” He filled up a bag of ice and tied a knot before handing it to me. ”Go sit.”

I obediently took the bag and sat down on an open chair as Kyle prepared another bag of ice.

”There's actually a team here that has quite a few brothers on it.” The player kept talking. ”I heard they won CIF last year. My high school isn't in their bracket, but if they win this afternoon, we'll play them tomorrow. I wonder if they all get to play at the same time.” He chuckled. ”Could you imagine half the players on the field being your family?”

Kyle laughed with him. ”Yea, yea I can.” He set his bag of ice down and helped me lift my foot. ”We should probably take your shoe off.”

I kicked my shoe off. Kyle placed the bag on the top part of my foot, letting the ice cover both the inside and outside of my ankle. He grabbed a clear roll of saran wrap and used it to keep the bag of ice stationary.

The trainer finished with the player and came over to help Kyle wrap his bag of ice to his right shoulder.

”A pitcher?” The player got up and started grabbing his bag. ”How'd you do today?”

Kyle gave a friendly smile. ”Our team won.” The ice was firmly attached to him.

The player left the area first, giving a small wave. ”Well, I have to get going. Good luck this season.”

What a friendly guy.

I looked up at Kyle. ”Why didn't you say anything?”

”I can walk.” I held my shoe and started to show off my walking skills while having a bag of ice taped to me.

Kyle caught up to me easily, but kept pace with me as we walked away from the trainer's spot. We met up with everyone rather soon since Noah had pointed them to our direction. Noah had also given our bags away to Zeke and Rhys to carry.

”Great game, Ky.” Rhys told Kyle. ”I was getting worried that you wouldn't last all seven innings.”

”How's the ankle?” Dad asked me. ”Did you have the trainer look at it?”

”I'm okay.” I reassured him, dodging the question a little bit. ”Did Jeremy and Rose go home already?”

”He was stuck signing some autographs.” Dave answered.

”We'll meet them for dinner.” Mom told me. She also glanced down at my foot. ”I don't think you should be up on your feet with that ice bag. Let's get you to the car and prop your leg up for a bit.” She turned to Dad. ”Can you carry him?”
