“So what happened?”
“I had an asthma attack, no biggie.”
“Right, when you were at a hockey game, waiting for that guy…what’s his name again?”
“My Uncle? And your right, I was at a hockey game and I was waiting for him.”
“Fine, don’t tell me now. Tell me tonight!”
Sometimes I hate my friends. There is three of us. Abbey, Izzie, and me; Madeleine, we are so totally not alike it’s kind of funny. I mean Izzie and Abbey are but me, naw, they are all artsy and I am so sporty “It’s not even funny” as they would say. We are in college, Izzie and Abbey in Columbia, and me at Berkley.
“You have to tell me.”
“ABBEY!” I think I might have had her attention by now. “No, not now, I might and that is a slight chance that I WILL tell you tonight after dinner when you, Izzie and I are back at the apartment.Okay?”
“Yea I guess.”
***LATER THAT NIGHT****
“Did you hear about Paige?” Abbey started the wrong conversation.
“Yea, she’s at some college playing hockey, scored today….twice, whats so special about that?” I replied.
“Nevermind. OH, Maddie you have to tell us what happened last night now.”
“Hold on”
After we put in our orders I thought if I should tell them, if I could tell them. They already brought up my first known love: Hockey. I guess I should just tell them.
“So I was waiting for my uncle. And everything just came back. The game, the hospital, the rumors everyone started, and I passed out. When I woke up I was in the Penguins locker room and I looked up to find this hazel eyed guy who just stared at me talking with his eyes. And I didn’t know what to do, but he spoke up first and simply said: ‘You stopped breathing.’”
“SHUT UP!”
“Ohmygod.”
“Who was it.”
When I thought I heard someone say my name I looked over my left shoulder and saw those eyes again, but they were so far away.
“We are NOT talking about this anymore until we get back got it.”
“OHMYGOD he is here isn’t he”
“Abbey shut up!”
“He is” Izzie chimed in.
Oh shit, oh shit oh shit oh shit.
“Here is your table boys.”
