Alex and Marcy knew each other before, but they didn't really "knew" themselves. As they cross paths again, it feels like fate dosen't want them to separate. As they discover more about each other and theirselves, they can't help but feel the unexplanable spark between them, even though they won't admit it. Marcy: My dad died not long ago. That's why I came back to the USA after everything that has happened. I kept contact with my two bestfriends, Josh and Kelly. My step-dad isn't really an angel, he's starting to become an alcoholic and my mlther does nothing about it. I don't want to live in my house anymore. I didn't think that letting him come into my life would make such a difference. Alex: Taking care of my 15 years old brother, older sister and "crazy" mother isn't easy. Emely, my best friend helps me though. People see me as someone who's only interested in sex, alcohol, partying and making trouble. I keep that reputation up, and I want it to stay that way. When she came into my life, my past also showed up, and now I strangely need her. (This is my first story so that can explain some stuff)

tw's: descriptions of r*pe, eating disorders, panic attacks ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I had to flee. To escape. I couldn't take the pain of people telling me to be okay. That I was a survivor. But what about me being a victim? All because a few people refused to hear me when I said no. Now I carry around pain, fear, a disgusting feeling that is also there. Behind me. In the shadows. But maybe he'll be the light. ------------------------- This is a hockey player x gymnast college romance.
