Anders Lee (New York Islanders)

"There's hundreds of girls I could have, Y/N, be lucky I chose you. You're not even grateful you have me. I'm sure the prettier girls would be more thankful for me." Anders spat at me and I felt my eyes start to water. I​can't believe him. "​Go find those other girls, Anders! How dare you say I don't appreciate you because you are the best thing that has ever happened to me!" I yelled, running out of the door, slamming it on the way out. I drove to my best friend, Y/BF/N's house, which was hard due to all the tears in my eyes. When I finally got to the door, I knocked on it, but couldn't wait so I opened the door. "Hello..." I heard her mutter. She walked to the door and gasped when she saw me crying, and Y/BF/N ran to me, hugging me. "What's wrong girly?" she asked me, trying to calm me down. "A­A­Anders, t­told me I don't care about him and I'm not grateful for him." I managed to get out while sobbing. "He's a dead man." she spat and walked me into the kitchen. "Want some tea love?" she asked and I nodded. She made me tea and we sat at the bar for a bit in silence, drinking our tea. "I'm gonna go to bed." I told her. "You can go in the guest room." she responded. "Thank you for letting me stay here." I thanked her and she smiled. I grabbed my tea and my phone and walked into her room, grabbing some sweats and walking to the guest room. I set the tea on the bedside table and plugged my phone in and I was out like a light.

Thunder shook the house and I squirmed awake, my body shakingly visibly. I was super scared of thunder, but sleeping next to Anders every night had calmed me down. But with Anders gone,
I couldn't sleep. I didn't want to bother Y/BF/N, she had let me into her house and I wasn't going to bug her. I contemplated calling my brother, but he would kill Anders so that wasn't an option. A loud thunder and lightning shook the house and I started to cry. I decided there was only one option. I groaned knowing I was the one who gave in, but I had to. My thumb hovered over Anders' contact name and I begrudgingly clicked call. It rang twice until my ears rang with the sleepy voice I've loved to wake up to for 2 years. "Y/N?" "Anders." I whimpered out through my tears. "Baby, I'm so so so so sorry I said that about you. I was just stressed out from hockey and how I haven't been scoring a lot lately and everything is just getting to me and I know that isn't an excuse to take it out on you but just please please forgive me." he begged on the other line. "Anders, I forgive you but I'm Y/BF/N's house right now and please come get me. There's a huge thunderstorm and you know well as anyone that I can't sleep when there's thunder and that you're the only person who can calm me down. I forgive you but please, come get me." I pleaded for Anders and when the biggest thunder shook Y/BF/N's room causing me to squeal and start crying more than before. "God, baby please stop crying I'll be right there. I can't believe I did this to you. Don't hang up on me, I'm coming to get you please do not hang up you need me more than ever right now." he told me sternly. "Anders please hurry." I whimpered. "I'm trying my best baby. I just left, I'll be there in a couple minutes." I stayed on the phone with him and went downstairs to right Y/BF/N's name a note telling her I went home and thanking her for letting me stay with her for the short time I did. I told her I would do the same thing for her. "I'm in the driveway baby, come stand out on the porch and I'll get you." he told me and I muttered a quiet "okay." I walked outside and I know he said he'd meet me halfway but right now I needed him more than ever. I ran into his arms and he caught me, holding me close to his body and running us to the car. He set me in the back seat and rolled in next to me. He held me close to him for a few minutes trying to get my palpitating heartbeat to slow down. He wiped my tears away gently and pressed a soft kiss to my temple. He picked me up and set me in the passenger's seat, him crawling into the driver's seat and pulling away. When we got into the house, I took off my slides and made a beeline for our bedroom. I pulled off the clothes I had borrowed from Y/BF/N and grabbed a random Notre Dame shirt of Anders' and a pair of his boxers and crawled into bed with him, wrapping my small body around his much larger one. He immediately wrapped his arms around my waist, one hand around my waist and the other rubbing from the top of my head to the end of my back, calming me down as he whispered sweet nothings in my ear. Another thunder shook the house and I squirmed, burying my face deeper into his chest, if that was even possible. He held me closer and kissed the top of my head, continuing his whispering of encouragements. He ran a hand over my face softly, his lips soon following his fingertips. "I'm sorry I'm a jerk, and that I can't always be there for you. Please just know how much I love you and that I'll do anything to make you happy." he apologized for the umpteenth time that night. "Anders, please, I'm over it. If I had any doubts about our relationship, I would have told you 2 years ago." I told him and he sighed. "Oh good, that just makes this so much easier." he said and I looked at him confused. He reached into the drawer on the bedside table and grabbed a small black box, getting down on one knee, opening the box to reveal a simple but the most stunning ring I've ever seen in my life. "Oh my god." I muttered and he smiled. "Will you marry me?" he asked me. "Yes!" I squealed. The man I loved the most protected me from the storms for the rest of our lives together, and after a while he even protected our kids.

i didn't plan the proposal originally but it just made it cute :) long one, hope you liked it!
