"Get out Carey! Get out!" you screamed at your boyfriend, Carey Price. You and him had been fighting a lot lately and tonight you were at it again.
"You can't kick me out of my own house Y/N!" he yelled back.
"Fine! Then you can sleep on the damn couch! If you think you're sleeping with me tonight you're insane! You're lucky I don't make you sleep in the dog house!" you yelled back, about to cry at this point.
Carey said nothing, just turned out of the room and walked downstairs. You fell back onto the bed, bursting into tears. Why do things always have to be like this? You thought to yourself. You decided that you were going to relax and take a hot bubble bath.
As you were in the bath you thought about why you'd always fight with Carey, and then you realized it always started when you talked about hockey. You knew he was going to be away a lot when you started dating him, with him being a hockey player and all. But it seemed whenever he had an afternoon off he'd spend it with his friends instead of you.
All you wanted was to spend time with Carey. You couldn't wait until the summer break so you could go away with him for a while. The two of you were planning a getaway to Europe for a couple of weeks, if you even lasted that long with him.
You got out of the tub and toweled off, drying yourself quickly because it was freezing in the house you shared with Carey. You put on some sweatpants and one of Carey's t-shirts and climbed into bed.
After laying in bed shivering for about 20 minutes, you realized how much you wanted Carey snuggled up beside you, keeping you warm and safe. You quietly crept down the stairs, and saw that Carey had passed out on the couch with hockey highlights on the TV. You turned off the TV and grabbed a blanket for the two of you. You squished yourself onto the couch next to him and covered the two of you up with the blanket.
"Y/N?" Carey groggily asked.
"Carey, I'm so sorry," you whispered, gently rubbing your fingers across his face.
"No, I am. You're right. I don't make enough time for you in my life, which is stupid, because you're the most important thing in it. From now on I promise, every day I get off will be spent with you," he said, looking deep into your eyes.
"Okay Carey. I love you so much," you smiled at him. You then snuggled into his chest and fell into a deep sleep.
