Losing Her

Patrick stood outside the locker room already dressed for the game that would determine if they made it to the playoffs tonight. There was a lot of pressure and he assumed it was girlfriend who came down to wish him luck like she always did before a big game. They had gotten into a huge fight earlier about his phone.

He knew that she suspected something but he wouldn’t ever let her find out what actually was going even if it meant the death of him. He couldn’t handle losing the love of his life. He honestly could see them marrying each other in the future. If he were going to marry her he would need to do a couple of things first. But he couldn’t be thinking those thoughts right now.

Patrick looked up hearing the sound of heels clicking down the hallway. A goofy smile made its way to his face but quickly stopped halfway and instead his jaw dropped. It wasn’t his girlfriend coming down the hallway but instead his side chick that he had been seeing since March of last year.

The first thought going through his head was why was she here? The second thought was Lacy. The third thought was that he was so fucked.

“Pat.” His name never sounded as good as it did when Lacy said it. He grabbed her arm and pulled her over so that it was dark and hopefully no one would be able to tell it wasn’t his girlfriend.

“Michelle,” Patrick was furious. “What are you doing here?” He spat. He couldn’t handle this. She was supposed to be Arizona where he last left her.

“You know I wouldn’t be here unless it was important and you weren’t answering your phone.” She knew the rules. He wouldn’t take her calls when he was home. He had his girlfriend here and she knew that.

“You know why I didn’t answer my phone. Now why are you here?” Pat glanced back hoping he could get whatever it was out of her so she could leave before his teammates started flooding out.

“I’m pregnant.” She stated with one hand on her stomach. “Three months along and I’m keeping it.”

Patrick stood in shock. He couldn’t wrap his head around this. This was not supposed to happen to him. He had been safe with her every single time they did it. Hadn’t he? He ran his hands down his face hoping to hold back the tears that were coming.

He couldn’t get Lacy out of his head. Pat now was starting to regret this whole thing. He knew they’re relationship was over once Lacy got wind of this. He wasn’t even ready for a kid. Fuck, how did he even know it was his?

“Yo, Pat!” He turned his head to find his teammates calling him over to start heading out. He nodded his head numbly. He couldn’t feel anything at the moment but he knew anger was starting to surface along with guilt.

He turned back to Michelle. “I’ll call you after the game. Go get a hotel or something. Just stay far away from here at the moment.” It probably came out ruder than he meant to but it was her fault that he was in this situation or at least that’s what he believed, but everyone knows it takes two to tango.

She nodded and walked away from Pat and back inside the arena hopefully leaving it permanently for the night. Pat grabbed his helmet that was on the floor next to him and turned to his teammates with his stick in hand ready to let all this frustration out on the ice tonight.
