DON'T STOP [LESTIA] BELIEVING!

[canndee]

This was probably bad. Any injury was bad for a professional quidditch player! But a broken leg was something way worse than they could ever had imagined. Even though it would only take about five minutes to fix and then he needed to stay here over the night. But the humiliation part was never fun. Sure he was captain of The Puddlemere United, but this still sucked big time. A big sigh escaped his lips as he was placed in the rather uncomfortable bed surrounded by his team mates, all wanting to know how bad it was. The healer, a female nurse who was very attractive told him that his leg was broken and Luke sighed again. And then he closed his eyes. His coach were there too and he saw this as a sign to get all the players out of the room. He was sure that Luke needed peace and quiet now. And Luke did. Especially from his team mates. Sure they were cool and everything, but he needed a woman's touch. He couldn't call Lacey. That was too early. They had only been friends for a month or so.

Then he thought about it. Lestia Hatcher. His old girlfriend. And his most serious relationship. When Luke thought about it, he was sure that if he hadn't been so busy trying to reach the stars (literally) they would still be a couple. Would it be rude and impolite to call her? He was torn between going to sleep and call Lestia. But then before he knew it a nurse, a much older one than the pretty one from before came in with some fluid on a tray. It was his medicine that would make his leg grow together again. It looked like boogers and Luke wasn't too proud when he lifted the glass and drank it. He was about to puke but luckily he got a glass of water that he drank right after.

It was quite obvious that the old nurse had no sympathy with him. She had no idea who he was and if she did, Luke was sure she wouldn't have treated him any other way. He looked disgusted as he placed his head on the pillows again and fumbled and found the telephone placed at the table next to his bed. He thought about her number for a long time before he pressed it on the telephone. A female voice answered and there was a long pause before he said anything. "Les? Can you come to St. Mungos? You won't regret it." And then he hung up and looked around the room.

It was a quiet night. Lestia wasn’t out partying. She was at home. Alone. That thought was quite upsetting if she actually bothered to think about it. But Lestia was not one to dwell on the negative points of her life. Not that much anyway. Right now she was reading the latest copy of Witch Weekly. It was just for fun. Lestia didn’t take their articles very seriously. She read them for laughs because the Muggle newspapers were just depressing. Not to mention boring. Plus, she could always mention the article to a Presenter at her workplace. There were always people out there who needed the advice of a fake Aunt Agony.

Just as she flipped to the next page, the telephone rang. Lestia’s head turned towards the phone, wondering just who it was. No one really called her. They more or less wrote or just showed up at her doorstep when they needed something. There was the fact that not many people even knew her number. Merlin knew she hadn’t changed it since she first got it. Picking it up and saying ‘hello?’, there was a long silence at the other end that made Lestia look at the phone again. She hadn’t imagined it ringing, had she? She didn’t think she was that desperate for company. But then she heard her name being called and the brunette froze for a moment. Luke? Before she could even comprehend what he had said, there was the tone that signalled he had hung up.

She won’t regret coming to Saint Mungo’s? What? Her father worked there. So did one of her best friends. But Luke? Lestia stood there, placing the receiver back onto the phone. A flurry of emotions came over her. They broke up, not because they grew apart or fought too much but because of his career. Chances were very high that they might have gotten engaged or even married by now if they stayed together. “Darn it.” Lestia cursed before grabbing her coat and leaving her flat. He was probably one of the few people she would meet without any explanation on their part.

Apparating swiftly to the magical hospital, Lestia enquired at the welcome desk about one Lucas Nicholas Smith and soon found herself heading towards his room. She’d already guessed he would be a patient here. Quidditch players were probably the second most common patients here besides those in law enforcement. Was it bad she kept tabs on his career? Did it signal some unresolved feelings towards him? Pushing the door open slightly, Lestia saw him. “So… what’s the thing that I won’t regret? Seeing you in a hospital bed? Didn’t I curse you bad enough to land you here once or twice?” That last part was a joke of course. She didn’t do that. Not even when he left.

Luke had never been a fan of hospitals. Ever since his beloved grandmother died actually right at St. Mungos when he was six years old, he hated them. It was back then when all was happy and joy. Before his parents got divorced. He wanted to hit something when he thought about it. Stupid father. He was no use for Luke now. And he wasn't the first person he wanted to send an owl to when he landed himself here. In fact his father could die and he wouldn't know about it. Sad, but true.

A sigh escaped his lips as he felt a rush of pain going through his broken leg. "It's supposed to give you big pain within the next 10 minutes. It's all part of the help." Yeah right, help his hairy ass. This was the worst pain he had ever been through. After about ten seconds it stopped as if there had never been a pain. He sighed and closed his eyes, and then he heard the door open. Luke opened his eyes a little bit, only enough to spot Lestia who just entered the room. He smiled a bit, but it was rather forced because his leg was in pain. Not so much as before, but still rather painful.

For the first time since he arrived, he laughed. Lestia always made him laugh. It was funny. And this reminded him exactly how much he missed her. But she was past and she probably had a new boyfriend. It was more than you could say about Luke - he had had a few flings, but nothing serious. Now he was trying to be friends with Lacey Straiton and he wasn't sure yet if he wanted more. It was difficult though, she was very nice and all but very reserved. Luke had a lot of fun with her son, Nathan. And that was great!

He opened his eyes fully and looked at her. "Actually Les.. it was just something to make you come over. I was bored out of my mind. And I kinda hope you didn't had other plans for tonight.." He said with a small smile. He had to admit that she looked absolutely stunning. That dress was made for her! "Lestia, allow me to say that you look stunning. You always have though. No surprise there." He said and winked at her.

Should she be upset that Luke had only called her because he was bored? Probably. But she wasn’t. Oh, the things she did for him. Well, she didn’t exactly sacrifice a lot for him but he was her first real serious boyfriend after all. She crossed her arms at an attempt to appear mad, before she threw it the act all away by smiling at him when he complimented her. After that, there was no use in pretending. “You’re an idiot, you know that.” Lestia chastised, stepping into the room. And so was she, for even coming here. Closing the door behind her, the brunette moved closer towards him.

It was easy to see why her sixteen year old self decided it was a good idea to fall for him. It was even easier to see why her twenty three year old self came here just on one phone call. Was Adison on shift tonight? Was she his healer? No… Lestia didn’t think she was in charge of this department, whatever it was. “Broke your leg, did you?” The former Ravenclaw stated the obvious, looking down at the leg in question. Lestia wasn’t much of a Quidditch fan. Sure, she knew about it (didn’t everyone?) and she supported the teams back in Hogwarts, but she never played. The players on the team though, that was another thing altogether.

Yes, she only watched the sport for the handsome lads. And Professional Quidditch? She kept tabs on that because of Luke. Though, she hadn’t known he was in a match tonight. Lestia never liked it when he got hurt. And he got hurt a lot. But she supposed that was better than him being an Auror, which was Felix’s occupation. Wow. She just went for the men that got hurt in their career choices, didn’t she? “Feeling better now that I’m here?” Les teased, placing her hand over his. She didn’t think he had a girlfriend. If he did, the girlfriend would be here instead of her.

Whenever Luke was ill and sick or something like that, he was way more sensitive than he used to be. Being a professional quidditch player, you had to be tough at any time. At least on the surface. Whatever you felt on the inside was your own problem. And just exactly that was what he hated about his career. But he couldn't do anything about it. Not now at least. He decided to let go of it. And instead focus on Lestia. "You don't have to remind me.. I chose quidditch over you, so of course I am." He said and winked. It was true. At times it was the one thing he missed more than anything. A steady relationship. Not because he slept around a lot, but sometimes you would get lonely. That was another sacrifice you had to make. But it sucked. Just imagine.. If he had taken their relationship a little more serious they would probably be married and maybe even have kids now. He cursed silently at the thought of that.

Luke liked how Lestia stated the obvious. It was part of her charm really. "I did.. But it should be okay in a matter of minutes. They just want to keep me here over the night. Perfect for me.. A guy that hates hospitals. Did I ever tell you that my grandmother died here, at this hospital when I was six years old?" He said and shrugged. It was not important now really. It was eighteen years ago, so why dwell with the past? He decided to leave it.

He took a sip of the pumpkin juice placed at the table near his bed, and when he looked up again, Lestia was standing very close to him. She placed her hands over his and to smile at what she was saying. "You silly girl.. You always make me feel better. Even though I not always appreciated it." He said and intertwined their fingers, before looking around the room for any photographers or anything like that. When he made sure the room was "free", he moved closer to her and kissed her on the lips. A very passionate kiss. He hadn't kissed anyone like that since Lestia, and now it was her again.

“Yes, there is that.” Lestia said. “Lost a bloody good woman, you did.” The brunette winked back at him. There was no denying that her heart wasn’t broken when he left, but she got over it, healed herself and went on with her life. Since they could joke about it now, she supposed she was over him. Her happiest memories were with him. Feelings for him? Oh, she loved him. Past tense. But you always remembered your first. Didn’t you? Good or bad, happy or sad. Now she was just being silly. They had seen each other on and off, said hello but they never had a chance to be in the same room together. Alone.

One thing about magic was that it healed the physical wounds. Break your leg? Take a disgusting potion or two and viola, your leg would be as good as new. Lose the bones in your arms? You’ll get them back overnight. Painful as hell, but still, you got new bones. It was those emotional wounds that took time to heal. “No, you didn’t.” Les shook her head slightly. She did know he didn’t like hospitals. Part of the reason why she came here in the first place. She would want someone familiar in a place she disliked. Lestia didn’t ask more, because it was evident he didn’t wish to talk about it.

Lestia chuckled softly. “Well, aren’t you charming tonight?” She asked, settling herself down on the chair beside the bed. Oh, she knew he was doing when he looked around the room. Les didn’t think there would be any photographers here. And even if there were, well, Lestia wasn’t going to be too bothered. She was never bothered with them even in the early stages of Luke’s career. She had an inkling what was coming next and no surprise there, she didn’t protest when his lips found hers. Her free hand cupped his face, just enjoying the feel of his skin. “I’m guessing you don’t have a girlfriend right now.” Les murmured.

Another small laugh escaped his lips. But she was true. He and Lestia had been really good for each other and for several months he cursed himself for breaking up with her. "You are just here to torture me, aren't you?" He said and smiled gently. It was just a joke. He was the one that had called her, so he blamed herself. But he was still quite surprised to see that she actually showed up. After what he did to her. But he was glad, nevertheless.

He didn't wanted to talk about his grandmother, so why had he brought it up? Stupid. But she understood the hint, so it was all good. Luke had to admit that Lestia looked more pretty the older she got. And here he was, injured with a broken leg and looked like crap, probably. He was tired, that was all he knew. And any hospital freaked him out, so it wasn't helping.

He winked at her when she told him that he was charming. "I'm still the same, Les. I'm only charming around girls I like.." He said and smiled. It was true. There was a lot of his fans, particular girls that he didn't treated the same way he treated either Lestia or even Lacey for that matter. But he hadn't been charming towards Lacey yet. Two months and he hadn't hit on her yet. It was only suitable. He didn't wanted to risk anything, besides he had a lot of fun with her son.

When she kissed him back, he wasn't surprised. He would have been surprised if she didn't, actually. This just showed she was available on the market. But Luke wasn't sure if he wanted to have her as his girlfriend again. Sure, he had loved her endlessly. But he was sure that he was about to fell for Lacey too. So he was a troubled man. Maybe him and Lestia could just have fun for now? "I thought you read all those gossip magazines. Then you would know that I don't." He said and winked and laughed at her.

“That thought had occurred to me, yes.” She nodded gravely. There were so many ways to torture Lucas Smith. Hit him where he would take the hardest hit. His career. He had left her for it after all. It wasn’t difficult to go around slamming his good name if she wanted to. It wasn’t too late now either. Well, lucky for Luke, Lestia wasn’t the type to seek revenge. It was quite a waste of time in her opinion. Though she did rather believe in the saying ‘an eye for an eye’.

What Lucas said was quite true. He was always making her blush when he complimented her during their early days. Nowadays, Lestia learnt how to differentiate those that were sincere and those that were said just in order to get something from her. “I’m glad you still like me. What would I do if you ever hated me?” Les asked. She was just asking a rhetorical question, though some part of her didn’t want to know the answer if he did reply.

Yes, Lestia was very available right now. She didn’t have a serious boyfriend, though she did have someone whom she saw on a regular basis. He was also engaged but not to her, so that most certainly was not a proper relationship to begin with. “I also know those gossip magazines don’t always report the truth. Didn’t they say you and I eloped and went to Hawaii or something like that?” Les recalled. “So, do you have a special lady friend I should know about before kissing you again?” The brunette asked him. “And then you have to sleep. Because I’m pretty sure sleep helps the healing. Plus, you look like crap.” Les told him, before kissing him on the forehead.

That was scary. She sounded so serious when she said that. Luke could see that she really thought about it and it scared him a bit. Lestia wasn't normally the type to intentionally hurt others, but he could see how she actually considered hurting him psychically right now. He knew Lestia, but she could be holding some grudges against him, because he broke up. It was four years ago, but someone never was completely over their first love. Luke had to admit that he still thought about her and what they had back then. It had been very serious, though they never talked about getting any kids. Luke wanted to have kids of his own one day. Not a lot, but maybe two or three.

Luke was relieved when he discovered that she wasn't going to hit him. "Don't be silly, Les. You'll always have a place in my heart. You meant a lot to me. And still do." He said and smiled. He didn't wanted to answer the other thing she asked. It was rather pointless and he understood it was a rhetorical question. He would and could never hate Lestia. She was his first "real" girlfriend and they had done a lot of things together. He lost his virginity to her and they did all sorts of things with each other. If Luke got the chance, he wouldn't change it for the world. Lestia had a place in his heart no matter what.

Hawaii. He remembered very clearly. "Touché. You are very right. Then I have to tell you face to face.." He said and cleared his throat. Why was it so complicated to say that he wasn't dating anyone, but was seeing someone, one that he might wanted to date in the future? Then she asked. "I'm single.. For now. But someday, maybe in a near future I won't be anymore. I'm just having some trouble with her. She's great and all.. But very reserved! So.. we can kiss without anything will happen." He said and shook her head. Lestia shouldn't hear about his female problems. Then she said the next thing and Luke gasped. "Jeez, Lestia. Sometimes I wonder why I left you. You are always so nice to me.." He said and started laughing and pulled her in for another kiss. This time with tongue and everything. It felt great kissing her again.

Hearing what Lucas said was comforting, in a way. Which girl didn’t want to hear that she meant something to someone? On the other hand, this was her first boyfriend talking to her. The one she had her happiest memories with. It was just so contradicting to her. But Lestia had learned to let go. Right? Right. So, she just smiled at him and stroked his palm. It seemed like she might just be spending the night here. She didn’t know what the Healer ordered, but she was quite sure it wasn’t the company of a beautiful girl.

Lestia wouldn’t mind eloping to Hawaii. That was all she was going to say on that topic. She looked at him expectantly when he was about to tell her. Ah, so she was right. He was single. Unless he was lying. Then well, that was on him. Les raised an eyebrow when he mentioned something about having trouble with a lady and not being very available in the future. When he went on about her being reserved, Lestia couldn’t help but shake her head. No, she didn’t really want to hear about the other woman who seemed to have captured his heart.

“Of course I’m nice.” She muttered, before returning his kiss again. Lestia was supposed to be a tactful person. She normally was quite considerate, thinking about things before saying. But when she was comfortable with someone, she just said what was on her mind some times. Lucas did look horrible. But who did when they were lying on a hospital bed? Although, one wouldn’t guess he was unwell from the way he was kissing her. Maybe she should poke his leg just to get a yelp from him. That would be rather amusing. And that was just what she did. Way to spoil a moment, Lestia.

It was understandable why Lestia didn't wanted to hear about Luke's new.. girl? Even though she probably wanted what was best for him it might still sting in your heart. He hd actually hoped that Lestia had a boyfriend or at least someone she saw.. It made him sad that she was obvious all alone. If there were anyone he wanted to be happy it was happy, and of course you could be happy without a man by your side, but he knew that a girl like Lestia needed that kind of security and safety. He would gladly have offered himself, but on the other hand.. he couldn't leave Lacey now.

Luke loved how open he could be around Lestia. They were like best friends reunited after several years. In his opinion they had a been most best friends and a very good couple when it had been. Sure, he missed her in his everyday but quidditch was busy as hell. And then there were Nathan and Lacey. He hadn't that much time, so lying here was kind of a luxury to him. A place where he supposedly could gather his thoughts before training started again tomorrow morning. Sure, quidditch was his life. And he loved it very much, but sometimes he hated himself for not taking his relationship with Lestia just a wee bit more serious. He wanted to get married and he wanted to have kids. He had been young and foolish back then and he couldn't see what was wrong with choosing his career over the girl he loved. But now he could easily see how much like his father he had been.

Luke's father had left his mother for his career, back when Luke was ten years old. But now four years had passed since Luke had left Lestia and the fact that she was here and obviously cared for him, made him feel sad and very guilty. That was only until he felt a poke on his leg. Right where it broke. Wow that hurt! He made a quick reaction with his leg, before gritting his teeth. "Merlin's underpants, Lestia! That hurt. What are you playing at?" He said more angry that he wanted to sound like. But it did bloody hurt.

He sounded mad. That was not her intention. But she did have a very good reason for it. Or excuse. Depending on how one looked at it. “Checking to see if the potion worked. Obviously it’s not working. Isn’t magic supposed to cure wounds immediately?” That was her downfall so many years ago when she started to work at Saint Mungo’s. Some things took time, Lestia understood that. But she was of the opinion that magic could cure physical wounds immediately and at least take away the pain. “I’m sorry.” She apologised, settling back down into the chair. “You do know I never liked it when you got hurt.” Lucas wasn’t going to remain mad at her. Right?

Years ago, Lestia might have agreed with herself. Now, she wasn’t quite sure. The people she interacted with on a daily basis were rather… well, let’s just say Lestia wouldn’t be friends with her colleagues. Backstabbers, liars, hypocrites. Someone whom she thought was a friend erupted into a rage a year or so back and that was the end of their friendship. Thank Merlin she had left. But it was a reminder to her that people could act perfectly well to care and be plotting her death underneath. Being Lestia, she wasn’t one to dwell on such things but they still came back into her memory.

Lestia smiled at Luke, aware that she must have gone off into her own thoughts. “So, who’s this lady and how did she manage to capture your heart?” She asked, for the lack of a better subject. The brunette supposed she could ask how his career was, but that was pointless. She knew more or less everything about it. Then she could go on about her own career, but Lestia didn’t wish to talk about that. No, she’d rather listen to Luke talk about another woman despite how it hurt her sixteen year old self that was hidden inside.

He rolled his eyes slightly at her. She wasn't well informed and Luke couldn't blame her really. She was only here to cheer him up and such. "Not immediately actually. A broken leg requires two potions. Sadly. Because it's taste like vomit, I dare say."He said and made a face. The she apologized and that made Luke smile and take her hand. "Hey.. You didn't know. I forgive you. I always do. And I'm sorry too.. For being mad." He said and felt a sting of guilty conscience.

What she said next warmed his heart. It showed that she still cared after four years. "Hey babe.. Right back at you." He said and winked and wasn't referring to anything special. Lestia had a way of keeping out of troubles, for most of the time. She was tough and that was one of the things he liked most about her. Luke wasn't quite sure what she did for a living and he wanted to ask, but then she asked about the girl that had stolen his heart. A small smirk followed by a very boy-ish smile came across his lips. "It's strange actually.. You know how I love kids, right? She have this adorable son. He's 5 and I love hanging out with him. Lacey is great too, but I don't know much about her yet." He said and smiled, thinking about Nathan and Lacey.

Luke smiled waiting to see her response. He wondered how it would be.

“Oh.” That was all Les could say. No wonder her head of department decided to tell her to leave. Ah, vomit. Lestia remembered that taste all too well from the various nights of partying she had in her younger days. Not that she didn’t still go out partying. But there were only so many nights she could go and get hung over. The female brushed his apology away. “Everyone gets mad once in a while. As long as you forgive me…” She shrugged, before winking at him. Lestia didn’t get hurt physically often. Now emotionally, that was another story all together.

If Lestia had any form of drink in her hand and had been drinking it, she might just have choked. Lacey? Five year old son? Lestia only knew one Lacey with a five year old son. Surely he didn’t mean that Lacey. That was… impossible? Nothing was impossible, she reminded herself. Lacey owned a shop. Very possible she met people through that. But, oh my wizarding god. She’d just kissed the man who had taken an interest in her friend. The smirk, the smile, no doubt about it, he was interested. “Oh, you silly fellow.” The brunette muttered.

“I mean,” Lestia started, in case Lucas decided she was being petty and all the horrible things that went along with that. Her lips parted and she wanted to say something but she couldn’t. Bad bad bad. She was still being slightly shocked at the revelation that he thought Lacey was great. And Lestia knew she was great. Being a single mother was not easy. She helped her friend out whenever she could. But she couldn’t imagine Lucas and Lacey as a couple. Or she could just be slightly biased. “You shouldn’t be kissing me then.” She attempted to berate Luke. “’Cause she and her son are obviously on your mind.” A very horrible effort to pretend she wasn’t shocked.

Luke noticed when she said "oh" and nothing more. It was her in a nutshell really. But to be honest, Luke had thought that it only took one potion for his leg to heal. When the nurse told him he reacted bad. Because the first one had tasted like shit, he was certain that the second would the same. A small smile crept onto his lips when she said the next thing. "Don't be foolish. If there is one I always will forgive.. It's you. You should know that, babe." He said and winked.

How could he be silly? He was just happy that he had met someone new and who wasn't being a screaming, obsessive fangirl. No matter how good sex they could give him, he just didn't felt anything when he was with them. They weren't like Lestia at all. Any of them. The thing about not knowing Lacey enough yet was just the problem. She was very reserved and Luke found it difficult to make her open up. He was sure it helped that he had a good relationship with her son, but she wasn't saying anything about it. Once again, he took her hand and looked her in the eyes. "You know why I called you? Because I could never call Lacey. First of, I have known her for two months and when she asked me what I was doing for a living, I thought she was joking. She didn't knew I am a professional quidditch player. I'm sure she would feel awkward if she came here. I called you.. because, well you are my girl. And you have been since I met you. I still think about you all the time, Les." He said and pulled her down to him, so they were looking at each other.

Sure, Lacey and Nathan were on his mind. But right now, Lestia was on his mind too. "Almost all the time.. But not right now. You are on my mind right now Lestia." He looked down and said; "... I should never have left you. I was a stupid idiot when I did that, and I hate myself for have done it." Maybe he should take her back and leave Lacey alone for a while? Then Luke kissed her again, not caring what she thought about it. He couldn't help what he felt. "Do you wanna take me back?" He asked with a boy-ish smile on his lips and smirked.
