This is for you Nikky! PS. You guys are in your twenties

Mitchell's POV
I thought to myself as I sat on the bench waiting for morning practice to begin. My girlfriend and I have been going out since our junior year in high school. When we both finished High school I gave her a promise ring. Proving to her that I love her more than she could ever imagine, that my day is always so bright and amazing with her. I just don't know what I would do without her. So now that I am 20, I feel as if I can now make her mine for the rest of my life.

--
As morning practice was almost over, I started to get nervous... I have this huge idea for tonight's game on how to propose to her but I don't know if she'll say yes. I guess we'll have to wait and see.

--
I go home about five hours before the game knowing that Y/N would still be at school or work.

I decide to have a little nap before I have to go and get ready for tonight's game. I drift off to sleep and dream about my future with Y/N. Everything just seems so right and I know that she is the love of my life.

I wake up and get everything ready. I call some of the guys to make sure that they got the stuff that I need and make sure the arena staff know what will happen at second intermission. I know that Y/N will be at my game, because she comes to all of my home games. I decide to call her just to make sure she is alright and that her day was good.

"Hey babe, how are you?" I spoke into the phone as she picked up
"Hi babe, I am pretty good, school was good today and also I'm getting off right now to make sure I make your game." She replied as I smiled against the phone knowing that she has no idea what will happen tonight.
"Well baby, I'm excited to see your gorgeous face tonight. I'll let you go and get yourself ready to come. I love you babygirl." I said with my heart racing and my body sweating, from the nerves of tonight's events.

She hangs up the phone and I get into my truck and drive to the arena.

--

It's almost the end of the second and my nerves are coming. We are winning 2-1 against the Oshawa Generals and I feel good. I looked up in the stands and see my future fiancé to be, smiling back down at me while she gives me a small wave. Man, she is one beautiful woman.

It's the end of the second and we head back to the locker room.

General POV

The announcer speaks into the intercom, "Ladies and Gentleman, please remain in your seats as we have a special presentation." And the lights go off.

Mitchell's POV

I signal for the announcer to start "Love Story" by Taylor Swift, because it was our favourite song and the song we planned to dance to at our wedding. As the arena stays dark, the boys make their way to centre ice with their signs. Some of the lights go on and the announcer speaks again.
"Will Y/N please make her way to centre ice." And my nerves begin to build as two ushers escorted Y/N to the ice.  As she was coming closer I could
see she had no clue as to what was going on.

The boys stood infront of me holding up four big pieces of paper saying
"WILL YOU MARRY ME?" And I skated through the middle and met her half way. By this time she was balling and so was I. I knelt down on my knee and said, " Y/N, ever since the day I met you in our junior year I knew I was inlove you with. I love the way your eyes sparkle when your excited about something or how you bounce your knee when you are nervous. I love you and every single thing about you." I grabbed her hand and kissed her promise ring. I looked into her eyes and pulled out the ring from my jersey and waited for her response. And she said, "oh my goodness, Mitchell, I love  you so much and of course I will marry you." I was so unbelievably happy and placed the ring on her finger, picked her up and kissed her for what felt like forever. Until all the boys came and gave us a group hug. And the crowd was cheering super loud.

I blocked out everything and focused on the love of my life.
She said, " I love you, Mr Stephens" and placed a kiss on my lips and I smiled and said, " I love you way more, Mrs Stephens"

I don't know if this was what you expected but I hope you liked it.
