3. SIDNEY CROSBY | penguins

It was the Stanley Cup final: Pittsburgh Penguins vs. San Jose Sharks.
You were nervously watching your boyfriend, Sidney Crosby, in the final seconds of the game.

Sidney somehow managed to get around all the defensive line, and had a breakaway with the puck.

He shot and let go of the puck, and without warning the Penguins goal horn went off.

A bunch of Penguins fans, including you, went crazy, and you didn't even notice your boyfriend was laying on the ice, not moving.

Just then the ref called a penalty on Tomáš Hertl, a San Jose player, and the physical trainers came out on the ice and checked on Sidney.

They brought him off the ice and into the locker room. You rushed out of the stands into the locker room.

You arrived in the locker room to see Sidney letting out cries of pain.

"Sid!" you yelled, rushing over to him.

"Y/N, I'm glad you're here."
He was laying there in a stretcher.

I was hoping it was nothing more severe than a broken bone.

...............................

"Well Sidney, you did not break anything in your face area, but you did get injured. I
The good news is it's not serious. It's only a concussion." the doctor told Sid and me.

"Now Y/N, you're going to be the one taking care of him, right?" I nod.
"Well, if he suddenly starts to feel dizzy or tired, you have to let him lay down. "

"Ok." I respond.
..............................

"Well Sid, how do you feel?" I ask him.

"Fine, but I'm mad I can't play in the next 5 games!" he says, obviously pouting.
"I know, but imagine what would happen if you didn't give yourself time to heal." you tell him.

"Yeah, but I'm still upset!"
"I understand." you give him a sympathetic smile.

These next few weeks are going to be the hardest weeks of your life.
