Everything Has Changed
Chapter Uno
I couldn’t help but want to swear Taylor Swift out. I mean, I loved her music, there was no way that I could lie about that. But that damn song with Ed Sheeran, the one that seemed to encapsulate my life, was what was currently killing me. I loved her for writing all these cutesy songs, because let’s face it, being a single girl is no fun. Being a single girl who works in the United Center alongside the Chicago Blackhawks? Well, something’s gotta give.
I should probably start from the beginning, or rather my beginning. I’ve always been a Chicago girl, born and raised. Well, a Chicago suburbs girl, but as long as I could take the train in, I said Chicago. I was born July 10th, 1992, in one of those suburban hospitals, to my wonderful and loving parents. They always loved to tell me as I got older that it had taken them what seemed like forever to come up with a name for me, when in all reality, my mother was smart and didn’t spit out the first thing that came to mind after getting me out of her, but waited a few hours. If that had happened, I would have been some sort of a swear word, at least, most likely. I got the name Alexandra Grace Taylor. So really, I got three first names. I guess you could also guess that I was destined to love Taylor Swift, with that last name. My childhood was normal, though I did go to a lot of hockey games, as we had season tickets for the Blackhawks.
I went off to college, deciding to get away from everything in Chicago. It wasn’t so much that there was anything wrong with my friends or family, it was rather that I felt suffocated from everything that I had grown up around. So I decided that after getting an offer of admission from University of Southern California, that I would go there. It was 2,000 miles from home, which seemed about as far as I could get, while still being in the continental United States. I majored in Public Relations and decided after college that I should come home. My friends were starting to get engaged and I knew that I wanted to be involved in their weddings, but I couldn’t very well do that from the aforementioned mileage from home.
Someone made it aware to me that the Hawks were looking to hire someone to help with their social media, but in addition work with the PR department. I managed to get an interview, which lead to three more, each time meeting with someone higher up than the last. In my final meeting, Rocky Wirtz came in, asking if I was the girl that the team was going to hire. I remember trying to keep the expression on my face blank, when the person I was meeting with said “Well, I was going to save that for the end of the meeting, but yes, she is.” I couldn’t help but let the smile consume my face, knowing that I was working with the team I had grown up with.
Not long after, I signed my contract, after getting it looked at by a few different people. For some reason, they hadn’t included any sort of clause about having a relationship with any of the players. I mentioned it after I had signed my contract and someone cracked a joke saying that it would probably do some of the boys good to settle down with someone like me.

There was an ad on the side of this page for the Wolves... I'd like to think that it might be a good sign...Even though the player I have in mind is from the Icehogs. ;)But eeep, I can't believe I'm doing this.
