Beaulieu's Girl

Chapter 38

****Nathan's POV****

Julie, Sophia, and I arrived at the game early to get good seats. It was almost time for warmups to start and I was so excited to see Rosalie play again. This will be the second time I've seen her play. Sophia had the most adorable little McGill jersey that had Rosie's number and Eller on the back. Rosalie had it made for Sophia for Christmas. I hope that some day Rosalie and I have as adorable kids as Sophia is.

The music started and the team's flooded the ice. During warmups the opponents looked pretty slow but who knows. Rosalie was put on the starting line up again which made me so proud. See someone that you love getting the recognition they deserve is the best feeing ever. What makes her situation even more impressive is that she kicks ass against guys. She is proving that women are just as good or even better than men at playing sports.

Holy shit has this game been intense. It is scoreless in the third with 4 minutes left. The whole game you could tell just how frustrated Rosalie and the rest of them are. Both goalies have been ridiculously good. In the beginning of the third Rosalie broke her stick in the goal post because her goal should've counted but they waved it off for goaltender interference. Julie and Sophia left because Sophia was falling asleep.

There was now two minutes left and we got the powerplay. This is the perfect scoring opportunity. Just when Rosalie is about to get into the ice to start the powerplay coach tells her to get back on the bench. You could see her muttering curses at coach. It's funny to see her get so worked up but also sucks because  she should be out there.

Finally Rosalie got on the power play and looked like she was hungry for a goal. She got a long pass from her defense causing a 3 on 2. Rosalie passed it back to the trailer and went for the net. The trailer shot and Rosalie got the rebound. Yes my girl got the game winning goal!

But right as she was going to celebrate with her teammates, the opponent's goalie grabbed Rosalie from behind, took her helmet off, punched her in the head several times and threw her to the ice. In this instant it felt like my world was crumbling into a million pieces.  The love of my life was knocked out on the ice, and there was nothing I could do. I couldn't stop the tears that threatened to spill over my cheeks. Seeing Rosalie unresponsive with cuts on her face broke my heart. Soon my sadness turned to anger. I went over to behind the bench and started yelling at the coach to do something. The trainers finally went on the ice to check on her.

Someone needed to fight back for her. None other than the fighter himself, Cedric, stood up for Rosalie. Why would he be fighting for her? Doesn't he hate her? I thought to myself. The goalie didn't stand a chance against Cedric. Both were escorted to the locker room and players took a knee while the paramedics were called into the ice to help Rosalie. I waited until Rosalie was being carried off the ice by a stretcher to call Julie about what happened.

"Hey Nathan what's up." Julie said.

"Well umm Rosalie is being taken to the hospital because she was knocked unconscious. She's still unresponsive so I need a ride to see her." I said crying still a bit.

"Oh my god I'll be there quickly!" Julie said and hung up.

The game continued after Rosalie was carried off the ice. I couldn't bear to watch so I stood outside the arena and waited for Julie. After all the things Cedric has done to Rosalie why would he want to protect her. I just can't wrap my head around it. Julie arrived very quickly and I immediately got in. While we were driving to the hospital all the worst case scenarios raced through my mind. What if she won't remember me? What if she can't play hockey again? What if she never wakes up?
