The backstory!
Madeline wasn’t really sure when things had changed between the couple, the season had been hard on Quinn and she knew he was struggling but she did her best to make sure he knew she was there for him.
But her undeniable support seemed to go unnoticed by the defensemen, constantly pushing his issues and insecurities onto her.
The girl didn’t mind though, she loved him and they had been together since they were 16. They went through everything together; high school, college acceptance letters, the draft, Madeline getting her first record deal, Quinn’s first game, her first album, their engagement.
But none of that seemed to matter to Quinn in the end as one morning he woke up and told his fiancé he couldn’t do this anymore.
The girl was shocked, she knew they’d been fighting and the added stress of the season and her attempting to write her sophomore album hadn’t helped. But she never thought he’d end things.
She thought he was trying to play a joke on her at first but once he said he’d be going to stay at Brock’s after the upcoming road-trip she knew he wasn’t.
And the next thing she knew she was looking for apartments in Vancouver and packing her things. She wasn’t sure what hurt worse; the phone call with his mother or putting the ring back in it’s box.
But despite the pain, she left, she gave him what he wanted. Maybe she should’ve tried to fight him on it or beg him to stay but after seeing the look in his eyes that morning she knew it would be a lost cause.
Madeline moved on the best she could, throwing herself into her album and work. Her friends sent her on a few dates to try and get over Quinn but none of the guys did much for her.
Quinn had thrown himself into a cycle of hockey and partying, practices in the morning and games and girls in the evening. His mother and father weren’t talking to him as much as they used to and his brothers were pissed at him.
He knew his mother wouldn’t have been so mad if he’d just given her a reason why he chose to end things with Madeline, but he couldn’t. He still loved her but he was miserable in life, but it wasn’t her fault, nothing was.
The season had been horrible, he was losing week after week while his brothers were on a winning streak in jersey. He felt like it was his fault, maybe he needed to put more work in, maybe he needed to push harder? He wasn’t sure.
He thought letting Madeline go and letting her live a life without him would be better for the both of them. He’d noticed how she looked at him as of late, with pity and sorrow in her eyes and he hated it.
He didn’t want her pity but his own judgment hadn’t allowed him to see or feel the love the singer was trying to give to him. He wished things could go back to how they were, the weekly dates, the sweet notes they’d leave each other-well she still left hers but he hadn’t left her one in months.
Of course Madeline had noticed these things but she chalked it up to being that the boy was just stressed and had forgotten to keep up with their little tradition, so she kept it up to try and bring a smile to his tired face and stayed hopeful that things would get better.
Things never did get better though and she realized that as she sat in the studio, burrowed under her favorite blanket. She’d realized she was never given the reason as to why he wanted to end things, but if that’s what he wanted then she’d let him go.
She loved Quinn and she always would, she’d always choose to keep the good memories in her heart and vowed to remember him that way.
