MARCH
FRESHMAN YEAR OF COLLEGE
Sometimes, I wonder when the tide first started to change for me. I lived a
charmed life up until college. Anything that I really wanted—hockey, that
starting position on a new team, the unattainable girl—was always mine for
the taking with little to no effort. If I really desired something, I usually
managed to get it, and that’s not my ego talking. It’s the simple truth.
I’m the only son of Jack and Alma Anderson, a middle-class family in the
Midwest, and I had a stable upbringing. My mom and dad are still married
and eat dinner together every night. Dad makes a decent living as an
electrician, and my mom is an elementary school teacher. Life was
predictable and boring at times, but in a reliable, comforting way.
Everything came easily for me, and I was always the golden child. We
never had a lot of money, but what we did have was funneled into hockey. I
guess over time, I took it all for granted, but only because I never knew any
different. I thought things were supposed to work out the way I wanted
them to because they always had in the past.
I’m not sure if there was an exact moment when things suddenly shifted,
like a riptide pulling me beneath the wave instantaneously. Or if it happened
gradually, like I was slowly sinking beneath the surface until the water stole
all my oxygen. Either way, I didn’t realize it was happening until I was too
far gone to stop it. But I do know one thing for sure … the beginning
revolved around Oakley Burnham.
Oakley was my first and only real girlfriend, though not many people
believe that because I’ve dated lots of women and hooked up with even
more over the years. But I’d never had a serious, long-term commitment
until Oak. I never even considered one before her. And I haven’t had one
since.
I still remember the first time I kissed her on the back porch of my
teammate Mike’s house in the fall semester of our senior year. She was
beautiful with her dark hair cascading down her shoulders and those
innocent blue-green eyes. She looked at me like I’d not only hung the
moon, but I’d created it as well. Her expression shared secrets with me. It
whispered that she loved me long before I even noticed her.
I grew addicted
to that look. And after that night … I couldn’t let her go. She wasn’t the
kind of girl that you had one encounter with and left. Oakley was the type
of woman who lingered long after she was gone. So, I locked her down and
made her mine. We spent nearly a year together before I began to doubt
what we had.
