Azzi Fudd, a freshman at college and a single mother to her 6-month-old daughter Jazlyn, is adjusting to life in a new world. Balancing school, motherhood, and a fledgling social life feels impossible - until Paige Bueckers, a senior and a rising star on the women's basketball team, becomes an unexpected presence in her life. Paige, initially drawn to Azzi's quiet strength and determination, finds herself offering help with Jazlyn. What starts as a simple offer of friendship soon blossoms into something deeper.

Sequel to stay by my side.

When Azzi Fudd transfers schools at the start of senior year, she plans to keep her head down, earn perfect grades, and chase her dream of UConn-no distractions, no drama. A "good girl" cheerleader who skips parties and follows rules, Azzi isn't prepared for Paige Bueckers: the school's star quarterback, football captain, and resident heartbreaker who thrives on attention and chaos. Their first meeting is a disaster. Paige, fresh from practice and still tangled up with the cheer captain, clocks Azzi as uptight and judgmental. Azzi sees Paige as everything she wants to avoid-reckless, arrogant, and exactly the kind of girl who derails futures. With Azzi's dad stepping in as the new football coach, avoiding Paige becomes impossible, and tension crackles between them every time they cross paths. But fate intervenes when they're paired for a history project neither of them wants. Forced proximity turns rivalry into reluctant understanding-and something far more dangerous. As sparks fly, family pressure mounts: Paige's parents see Azzi as a distraction from a USC-bound football legacy, while Azzi fights to prove her ambitions matter just as much. Caught between expectations and desire, Paige and Azzi must decide whether love can survive clashing dreams-or if supporting each other means letting go.

They were best friends. Until they weren't. Secrets were never a thing between them. Nothing was too personal, too embarrassing, or too sad. They told each other everything-except one thing. The one thing that could ruin everything. The one thing they were both hiding. They supported each other through everything: the games, the injuries, the press, the other crushes, the people they were supposed to want-but didn't. So the question becomes: Who breaks first? And what happens after they do? This book follows the dynamic between Paige and Azzi as it shifts from playful comfort to complicated closeness. The glances. The tension. The almosts. The what-ifs. The lingering something they've carried since Team USA-unspoken, but always there. Tune in to see how their feelings unfold, evolve, and change everything.

a pazzi fanfic, portraying them in the hunger games. INSPIRED BY SAFE AND SOUND BY LUPINQS ON A03 !NOT THE SAME! (also does not follow all rules of the hunger games) any comments that go to far will be removed remember these are real people! Please respect them! I'm trying to get back in the habit of updating still adjusting to school. Paige and Azzi are selected from district 6 to enter the hunger games this year. The couple who has been fighting for days have trouble remembering they need to work as a team to make it to the end. They eventually get a long once more but are quickly reminded that in the end only one person can win. They soon discover that everyone is working to break them up, realizing they are only stronger together.

Love is love. Until the world wants you to break. This story is completely fictional. This doesn't correlate to real life. I deleted my first story and starting over with it here. I wanted to add things and take things out.

Star Uconn basketball players Azzi Fudd and Paige Bueckers try to figure out complicated but real feelings for one another. Follow their journey as they realize their love for one another.

When Paige Bueckers and Azzi Fudd committed to UConn, the basketball world exploded with expectations. Everyone knew they'd change the game together, but no one predicted the story behind the stats: the late-night talks, shared playlists, injuries, victories, and the growing connection they tried to keep just for themselves. From Storrs to the spotlight, this is the untold side of their journey-two stars balancing friendship, fame, and something that feels like more.

Azzi Fudd thought she had her life mapped out-her career, her independence, her heart. Then Paige Bueckers got down on one knee, and everything changed. From the moment they say yes, the world around them erupts-family chaos, wedding planning disasters, and high-stakes cases at the precinct that remind them that love doesn't make life any less dangerous. But Paige and Azzi have survived everything together before, and this time, they're determined to survive everything as fiancées. As fears, old scars, and cold feet threaten to pull them apart, they'll learn that the strongest vows aren't just about forever-they're about courage, trust, and choosing each other every single day. From tearful laughter to heart-stopping moments, this sequel is a story of love that's messy, fearless, and unstoppable.

Fame, pressure, and expectations can build a career - but they can also destroy everything else. When Paige Bueckers entered the WNBA as the number one pick, she was ready to prove herself to the world. What she wasn't ready for was how quickly everything else in her life started to unravel - including her relationship with Azzi Fudd, the one person who had always been her constant. What started as distance turned into silence. And silence turned into goodbye. Now, Dallas holds the first-round pick again-and Azzi just happens to be the top prospect. Reunited as teammates, their chemistry on the court is undeniable. Off the court? That's where everything gets complicated. Between stolen glances, lingering touches, and words left unsaid, the line between friendship and something more begins to blur again. But some damage doesn't fade with time - and some love never really heals. The question isn't whether they still feel somethings. It's whether they're strong enough to try again.
