I opened my eyes to see Brayden right next to me.

“How are you feeling babe?”

“Wh-Where am I?”

“You’re in the hospital, you cracked your head open on the table in your house. Before heading over to the rink, I called and texted you to see if you wanted to drive down with me but you didn’t answer. So I came by to check up on you and you were passed out on the floor.”

“What? I don’t remember that happening.”

The doctor walked in and greeted himself. He said I suffered from minor head trauma and should take it easy. He also said I will have some memory loss from what happened that day. I reach up to my forehead and feel a strip of staples in my head. Oh great, this is really attractive. But what on earth happened to me and why do I have a black eye?!


Brayden guided me into his car and took me out to get some froyo. He started driving and that’s when I remembered something.

“THAT’S IT!”

“WHATS IT???”

“THAT ASSHOLE BARGED INTO MY HOUSE AND PUNCHED ME AFTER I KICKED HIM IN THE BALLS”

“WHO?!? WHAT ASSHOLE?! WHY DID YOU KICK HIM IN THE BALLS?”

“My ex boyfriend Matt, he knocked on my door before I left for the skate zone. He was so drunk and was trying to get back together with me.”

“So that’s why you kicked him in the balls? Because he wanted to get back together with you?”

“No, he kissed me…. and woudn’t let me go.” “I’m so sorry Brayden.”

“As long as you didn’t kiss him back! I’m kidding babe, everything’s gonna be alright. I’m glad you’re ok.”

“OK?! Brayden, I have a row of fucking staples in my head and a black eye. This is not ok”

“And you still look beautiful babe. I’m going to take you to my place so I can keep a better eye on you.”

Brayden took my hand and kissed it. I felt so much safer with him than by myself.

“And I called your dad for you and let him know what happened.”

“Thanks Bray :)”


We arrived to Brayden’s apartment and he carried me into the living room and lightly placed me on the sofa. He sat down next to me and grabbed a blanket for us, just like our first date, and tucked in the sides. We snuggled up next to each other and drifted to sleep.

Two weeks went by and I got the staples out of my head. The doctors replaced it with some kind of invisible sealer. The gash was still noticeable, but I looked a lot better without the black eye.

Then something came across my mind, I had to tell my parents about my new boyfriend. Me and Brayden have been together for almost a month now and I can’t keep hiding it, especially my dad. I decided to call up my mom first, because I knew she would be much more excited than my dad.

“Hey mom, are you able to talk right now?”

With my mom living in California, I have to look out for the time zones. I also can’t forget about her job, the reason she moved there in the first place. She is a famous fashion designer.

“Oh hello darling, yes I can talk right now, but only for a couple minutes. I’m in the middle of a fitting for Mila.”

“Mila KUNIS?!”

“Yes yes, you know Mila. She says hello.”

“Oh my god. Tell her I said hello!”

“So what did you want to talk to me about, sweetie?”

“Well for almost a month now, I have been dating this guy.”

“YOU HAVE A BOYFRIEND?! Oh how lovely Victoria, I am so proud of you. What’s his name?”

“Haha yes mom. And his name is Brayden”

“Oh how cute, just like that hockey player huh?”

“Yes mom and he is that hockey player…”

“My daughter is dating the professional Saskatoon hockey player, Brayden SCHENN?!”
“Hahahaha yes mom”

“Oh my, that is amazing sweetie. You two have to come up here and I need to meet this boy”

“Just tell me when Ma!”

“How about next week? I’ll send down my private jet for you two and you can stay at my place!”

“Oh wow. That sounds great mom! I can’t wait.”


After I hung up the phone with my mom, I started dialing my dad’s number. Wow, that went more smoother with my mom than I thought! Let’s hope it goes the same with my dad…


“Hey, dad!”

“How ya doin, kiddo?”

“I’m feeling better! Hey, I have to talk to you about something”

“How’s your new boyfriend Brayden treating ya?”

“WHAT? How did you know???”

“Your mother told me. You should know her by now, she doesn’t keep anything a secret anymore”

“Hahaha that’s true. But yeah that’s what I was going to talk to you about. Brayden. We’ve been together for almost a month now and I knew I couldn’t hide it from you anymore”

“I could tell something was firing up between you two…”

“Hahaha yeah. He’s great”

“Well that’s great kiddo. I’m glad you found someone better than that Matt kid”

“Oh god can we not talk about him ever again please? His name even pisses me off.”

“Hahaha deal. Hey I got to go. I’ll see you two later, ok?”

“Yup! See ya dad!”


Wow. That was pretty smooth.
