'Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind, And therefore is winged Cupid painted blind.' - William Shakespeare. Avery Johnson, blinded by an accident, always believed that she would never find love, that was until a certain hockey player turns up and asks to sit at her table.

I never thought that I'd ever fall in love. I've always been so afraid of being in love, and sharing every part of who I am with someone else. I didn't know how to do that. I didn't know how to love someone. But then I met him, and he showed me how. He never gave up on me until I was his. Falling in love was hard, but now that I have, things should be easier. I might finally be able to be truly happy for once in my life. I can be happy while loving him.

I don't do love, I do guys. Love just doesn't make sense to me. How can you devote your whole life and who you are to one person? How can there be only one person in the world that is made for you? Love is just crazy. Love is not for me, and it never will be.

Michaela Foster is ordinary. She does the same things that everyone else does, the same way others do them. She's smart, quiet, and very attractive. All the guys want to be with her and all of the girls want to look like her. Then there's Sam Reinhart. He's a top prospect in the 2014 NHL Draft, incredibly athletic, and very, very good looking. So what happens when their two worlds meet, completely by chance?

Dedicated to the girl who can't see life, and the boy who loves to live it... No one wants to die. Even the ones who want to go to heaven, don't want to die to get there. And yet it is inescapable. But the fear of death is nothing compared to the grief it causes. Death is nothing, but to live defeated and inglorious is to die daily. My parents' death did that to me. I felt like I died at 19 but won't be buried until I'm 91.

WARNING I've decided to change this from an Eric Staal story to a Dustin Brown, Los Angeles Kings captain, story. Let me make it clear now that I do not know anything about the Browns nor about their personal lives. This story is completely fictional and I'm not insinuating that any part of this is or will ever be true. If you do not like stories of cheating, DO NOT READ THIS STORY. I will not tailor my story to fit your comfort zone. If you like it, please leave feedback. If you have any major problems, message me privately. Thank you. ***HEAVY SMUT & CHEATING WARNING***

Carter Caylen is Mitch Marner's best friend. She has been ever since they were thirteen. Carter and Mitch were inseparable, she was at every game of Mitch's. Mitch was always there when Carter needed him. It was all so great until he got drafted into the OHL. She hadn't heard from him in a while. Her new bestfriend, Dylan Strome was a new start. Trust me, she needed that. But she also needed Mitch.
