"Give him some incentive!"
"Ok, he's going. Ha! Yah!"
Then I heard a voice I recognized. "We need sports med!" That was Tanner.
I forced my eyes to blink, but all I saw was a bright white spot. I blinked again, a few times, before I realized those were the lights. Why was I lying under arena lights?
Turning my head made me groan, and then someone clasped my shoulder, holding me down. Confused, I tried to pull my leg up, but none of this made any sense. No, wait. I'd just been on a bull. That was why I was under lights. But why was I lying down?
"Hey," Tanner said. "Ty, you with us?"
"What the fuck?" I asked.
He chuckled as my eyes finally found him, the smile on his face just too fucking nice. "You got KO'd by a bull, man."
"Fuck that," I said as I tried to sit up.
This time, the person on my shoulder let me. I wanted to check who that was, but my head was throbbing worse than it had been that morning, and turning from side-to-side was not a good idea. Nope, I just needed to get to my feet so I wouldn't be hauled out of here like some kind of pussy who couldn't take it.
Tanner offered me a hand, but I slapped it away. "I'm good, damn it."
"Whoa, whoa, whoa," someone called out. I looked over to see Doc Stephens hurrying my way, and that was when it all finally fell into place.
"You called sports med?" I snapped at Tanner, taking a big step into his face.
"Hey!" he huffed, lifting his hands. "You were out cold, Ty."
"I fucking was not," I assured him. "I just got my bell rung."
"Same shit," he said.
Yeah, but Cody had been watching, so I stepped into him and gave him a little nudge on both shoulders. "You aren't my boyfriend, so stop trying to treat me like you do her!"
"Easy there," Jorge said as he tried to get between us.
Tanner just stepped up, proving this fucker really was as crazy as J.D. "This isn't about who I'm fucking, who you aren't, or anything else," he snapped, lifting a hand to point right in my face the way I had with those idiots a minute ago. "This is about you keeping your brains from being scrambled."
So I slapped his hand out of the way.
Isaac grabbed my arm before I could follow through with a punch. Jorge shoved at Tanner's chest, pushing him back. Doc Stephens moved before me, blocking Tanner out of my sight, and reached for the straps on my helmet.
"You're confused, you're pissed that you didn't score, and you will deal with all of that or I'll put you on medical leave," he warned under his breath.
I just lifted my hands, palms forward to show I was giving up. "I'm good, Doc. Promise."
"He's also hungover," Isaac added.
Doc huffed. "Yeah, and going to be feeling even worse now. C'mon, Ty. You're coming to have a visit with me. That is not a request either."
"Shit," I grumbled, pulling off my helmet to walk obediently at his side. "I'm fine, Doc."
"Probably a concussion," he told me. "So just keep your brain and your dick in check long enough to let me see."
Pushing out a breath, I decided to just give in. Yeah, I'd finally figured out how the hell I could fit into Cody's world, and it seemed I was already screwing it up. Fuck!
Chapter32
J.D. was hurting.Getting run over by that bull had hurt more after he sat down than in the moment. Granted, it was always like that, but I still guilted him into going to sports medicine. Doc Stephens made Ty walk there himself. There were a couple of re-rides still to go, but I was done and definitely not going to be the winner tonight.
