Madeline Louise Duchene

Hours later

I was still sitting in my hotel all alone waiting for Duchene to return. But it was already 11:30 pm I stared to worry knowing he left at 9 and promised to be back with my surprise in an hour.

I began to get tired so I switched into my pjs and headed for the bed as the hotel room phone rang. I didn't know who it could possible be.

RING RING RING
The phone just kept ringing. I picked up.
"hello" I said
" Katie?"
"yes who's this"
" were calling you from the University of Colorado hospital, regarding a man named Matt Duchene"
Tears began to roll I didn't even know what to say.
"we realized he had a gift with your name on it , is this man your husband?"
" no , were friends ." I sniffled barely able to breath.
"Ill be there shortly."

I quickly shut the phone and put my shoes on and ran for the for the stairs. I got to the main floor and called for a cab.

As I got into the cab and we drove off, my eyes wouldn't stop running , my mind shafted into space with regret eating me alive. The questions flew into my mind making me feel like an idiot for allowing him to leave.

We got to the hospital as the doctor told me how this tragic story all went down.

" a drunk driver ran a red light and hit Duchene , his health isnt very well and were afraid he may need surgery." the doctor stated

I get my heart just drop as I sat on the floor in tears praying for Duchene to be alright. I got up and headed towards the room that my life was laying in with pain. Walking into the room I felt like suffocation seeing him unconscious.

I held his hand and the tears dripping down I whispered "Duchene please dont leave me here , the best surprise gift right now would be you waking up . Just please wake up."

I felt no hope , I didn't know what to do I really started developing feelings for Duchene more then just my ultimate favorite hockey player. I love him, more then I loved my self.

The doctor came as he made me leave because visiting hours were over.I found a chair and sat down as I fell asleep. I couldn't sleep well thought I tended to wake up a lot wondering if he was ok.

All I want is for him to wake up. Oh Duchene please heal and come back to me because I cant face life without you.
