FREE STORY WITH EXCLUSIVE CONTENT. This is *not* a Paid Story. Eighteen-year-old hockey prodigy Elliot Wexler has three goals for senior year. One: somehow graduate with a 3.5 GPA. Two: hide his bipolar disorder from his peers. And three: make it into the NHL with no scandals. Piece of cake. What he doesn't expect is to find Lucy, a homeless girl, hiding from the winter frost in his dad's shed. Elliot's busy, complicated life doesn't permit room for error, and falling in love with a girl from a totally different world sounds like the opposite of a good idea. But Elliot can't help but be drawn to Lucy and her elusive ways--even when she seems to vanish from his life non-stop, each time leaving him with a bigger hole in his heart. But Elliot is determined to break down Lucy's barriers. And when he does, he discovers that her life is more complicated--and dangerous--than he could have imagined. With drafting season approaching, and Elliot's fragile mental health deteriorating, he's forced to face a difficult question: Is first love supposed to hurt so much? *** PLEASE DO NOT ADD THIS STORY TO GOODREADS.

geldim, gördüm, sevdim. Kalabalık yalnızların, derdine derman olamayanların, bir bakışta lâl olup eriyenlerin, bir kez görüp bin kez seven kalplerin hikayesi. ''Seni ilk gördüğümde, sanki ilk defa nefes alıyormuşum gibi hissetmiştim. Tribünden sahaya doğru inişin bir hayal gibi aklımda hep. Peri kızı gibiydin. Üstündeki forma, abinin forması... Peşinden nasıl koşmadım; seni nasıl durdurmadım, bilmiyorum Ahsen. Tek bildiğim şey sendin. Yerim, yönüm, yurdum... Her şey sendin. Nasıl oldu, ne zaman oldu anlamadığım bir şekilde sen; sanki ömrümce aradığım huzurdun ve ben onu bulduğumda tamam hissettim.''
