I know that he loved me. I knew that he wanted to be with me. I knew all these things, but I also knew that hockey always came first. Hockey was his first girlfriend and will probably be his last. I knew it going in and I knew it now, but it didn’t change anything. I knew he loved me, but I also knew he was leaving soon. When he leaves it never ends well. It never has and I don’t see that changing. I knew that he loved me but it didn’t change the fact that I saw it coming to an end, that’s what living in Canada does to a relationship.
“You know what we are going to do?” Jacob walked in a little bit later and said.
“What? Are you here to call me stupid again?”
“You are stupid.”
“I’m not stupid, Jake. I know he loves me, I also know that I can’t compete with hockey.”
“Don’t compete with it. Be there, you not being there is making hockey win.”
“What?”
“We are going to go to Detroit. I got a room in their hotel and I figured we can get tickets or something there.” He explained.
“You are going to come?”
“Of course I am going to come. I am not missing the Stanley Cup Finals!” He said.
“You think he will care?” I said a little unsure.
“”Yeah, he will care. He will be so excited. You know he wanted you to be there, he just didn’t want to ask you because he didn’t want you to say no, which we both know you would have.”
“Okay, when do we leave?”
“Tonight, in like an hour.” He said.
