Chapter 7
Tonight Dylan was taking me to a wild game. Lindsay was over helping me get ready.
"Do I wear my Wild jersey or my Blackhawks jersey?" I asked
"You might die there in a Hawks jersey but you don't want the Hawks to see you in a Wild jersey either."
"Hey, dad!" I yelled and he came to the door
"What jersey should I wear?" I asked holding them up
"You might get a black eye wearing Hawks jersey to the X, but you do know a few players so..." He said leaving
"I'll wear my Kane jersey. " I said also grabbing my wild one just in case
Dylan picked me up for the game and we had pretty nice seats, we were a few rows up, like maybe 12. We got there a few minutes into warm ups and I looked at all the Hawks. I missed them like crazy. Thankfully non of them noticed me. The game had started and everyone gave me shit for my jersey especially Dylan. He was acting really weird but it didn't bother me.
The second period ended and all of the sudden the cameras were on me and Dylan and I had no clue why. All the players stayed on the benches and Dylan got down on one knee and said, "Ashley, I love you and I have since the day we met. The past three years have been the best years of my life, I want many more years like that with you, will you marry me and be mine forever?"
I started to cry and I looked around at everyone.. "Dylan, I'm sorry but no..."
Patrick's POV:
The second period had just ended and it was tied 1-1, I had the one goal. All of the sudden there was Ashley and Dylan. He was proposing to her, I wanted to go and beat the shit out of him. My blood boiled but then I heard Ashley said no. I bolted to the locker room, threw my helmet, stick and gloves, and took my skates off and slipped on my tennis shoes. I ran up with a few security guards to where Ashley was.
Ashley's POV:
"You're a great guy and you deserve the best, that's not me... My heart belongs to someone else, I'm sorry it happened like this. I hope you find a girl who loves you like I never could.."
Everyone was shocked I didn't say yes. Then I look to my left and see Patrick coming down the stair, I knew he was coming for me. He was in all of his gear, except his skates, helmet, gloves and stick. He came right to me and we hugged. Then he whispered in my ear so nobody else could hear, "I'm so sorry, I love you."
"I love you too!" I said back to him quietly
Our hug broke but then we kissed, and pulled apart and then kissed again. The whole crowd was staring but I could care less, Patrick Kane was mine.
"Well I got to get back on the ice." He said
"Go kick some ass." I said as I have him a good luck kiss
He ran back down to the locker room and Dylan said, "I'm outta here." Which was funny because I drove here so he had no way home.
I was left to sit alone, but I didn't care. I had Patrick and that's all that mattered. When he got back out on the ice he scored his second goal of the night. With one minute to go Minnesota pulled their goalie, and Kane fired the puck into the empty net getting his hat trick. I was beyond proud of my boyfriend, the game ended and I went down to the locker room and waited. Finally Patrick came out and picked me up and spin around.
"You must be my good luck!"
"That was amazing!" I said
"So, I was thinking since we leave at 8pm tonight and it's only 3:40, we could do something?" He asked
"You could come meet my family since you're in Minnesota.." I said
"On one condition... You move back to Chicago..."
"Okay." I agreed
We walked out to my car and Patrick brought his bag with him so we were noticed. I've finally made it back to my edge and we got out of the crazy city, i stopped in an empty parking lot and we talked.
"So.. I don't want to start our relationship with lies and secrets, so that blonde you saw me kissing. Her name was Mia, she's from Colorado. In November I had a few drinks with her at the bar and I was dumb and told her where I live and if she was ever in Chicago to come over. She kissed me, I pushed her away as soon as her lips touched mine. I'm so sorry you thought I lied to you, I haven't drank with any girls, kissed, hugged, texted, slept with or even thought about any girls. You are the only girl I can think about."
I started crying. "Why are you crying?" He asked
"Because I'm sorry I didn't trust you... "
"It's okay, it's done and it won't ever happen again." He said
I drove to my childhood house and Patrick and I walked in holding hands.
My whole family greeted us.
"Well you were watching the game so you saw what happened. Mom, dad, Taylor this is my boyfriend Patrick Kane. Patrick, this is my dad; Steve, my mom; Melissa, and my younger sister; Taylor."
"Nice to meet you all" Patrick said
"Nice to meet you too!" My dad said shaking his hand
And suddenly things clicked between them and I could tell they all liked him, even my dad. We talked and then had dinner. Around 6:40 I was going to bring Patrick to the airport.
My sister hugged Patrick and so did my mom.
"Thank for you having me over and the lovely meal." Patrick said
"No problem." My mom said and then left as the phone was ringing my sister went back up to her room.
"Well Ashley's probably told you, but I'm not much of a Hawks fan after what happened with the Northstars, but you are a hell of a player. And slowly the Hawks are staring to grow on me." My dad said
"I respect that, and thank you Mr. Thompson." Patrick said
"You can call me Steve."
They shook hands and said goodbye and we got into my car.
"That wasn't bad." I said
"You're family is a lot better then you described." He said
I laughed and we talked all the way to the airport. I decided to walk with him to his gate as they had a private plane.
"When are you moving back?" He asked
"Probably in about a month..." I said
"Okay, I love you Ashley." He said
"I love you too!" I said as Patrick put that necklace on me and said, "I give you this necklace to remind you that you are my girlfriend and I won't ever think of any girl except you."
"You're so sweet." I said as I kissed him
We kissed a little longer until he pulled me into his arms. I felt safe there, and I wished he never had to leave.
We kissed again and this time Shaw yelled, "Kaner, you have 30 second or we're leaving without you."
"Well you better go Kaner." I said
He kissed me one more time and then left.
I drove back home and and Lindsay was there. She ran to me hugged me, "You're dating Chicago's number 88!" She screamed
"I know!" I said with expression
"What about that house?" She asked about my house that I bought
"It's already sold and I'm moving out to Chicago in a month."
"Oh my gosh!" She said happy
"I know, he met my parents and my dad actually likes him." I said
"Wow, well I have to go. See you at the rink at 10am." She said
"Bye Linds." I said walking into my house
