When you find an online post that sounds awfully familiar, and it sends you down a rabbit hole. A rabbit hole that shows you who your friend really is. This will be a really, really short story. Because of the format I may be doing this in. It will be odd and unique. And time consuming on my part once you see what I'm doing. So, super short. Like really, really short! You have been warned!

Have you ever wondered what it might look like if you could just say whatever it was you wanted, needed, to say when life has thrown a curveball at you? This is the level Tania reaches when her husband of five years continues to take the side of his female BFF and mother over Tania. There is only so much a person can take under the umbrella of love. And this, this is the last straw! The goal is to have a few different, short, and to the point stories of how sometimes we would like a story and situation to play out, if we didn't have manners, care about reputations, and concern ourselves with the feelings of others over our own. Its time someone responds Unrestrained! *Disclaimer: This is not a story for the faint of heart. The FML will get angry, and it will NOT be pretty. Expect offensive and mean language coming from the FML. OW drama, MIL Drama, and emotional betrayal. Also, tongue-in-cheek fun as well.

Alley is 24, she is a world class surgeon. She has worked her butt off to get to where she is. One day her assistant lets her know that she has a very famous client who requires her services. She is intrigued as her assistant is all, but giddy to tell her. She asks her who and her assistant informs her that it's none other than notorious, bad boy, player Ryan Anderson of the Boston Bruins. Ally freezes for a minute knowing that name all too well, not just as the infamous Bruin who makes headlines all the time, but as the boy who broke her heart 6 years ago. See Alley and Ryan grew up together, thick as thieves, but once he got drafted he changed or so she thought he did. Ryan Anderson is the notorious bad boy of the Bruins. Always the first into trouble along the boards, but knows when to score when the time is right. On night though in a playoff game he injures his shoulder badly and his team goes to the best to help. When he meets with his surgeon for the first time he recognizes her instantly as the girl who was always there for him, but one night after he got drafted she up and left the party and never spoke to him again. He never knew why and so to fill the void she left he tried to fill it with meaningless women, booze and anger. Can these two work past their misunderstanding and grab the future they both deserved? Or are the issues of the past too much to get past? **WARNING** Mild foul language Intimate scenes lol Cover by still_just_me Banners by: still_just_me

BOOK ONE!! Her voice was quiet, yet she answered with a bold sound as if to convince herself, as well as me. "I believe the love will come in time." My heart was beating hard and loud. I took a few deep breaths in an effort to slow it lest the Princess would hear. "And if it does not?" My question seemed to float in the air. No answer was given for quite a while, although her crystal eyes did not stray from mine. There were some footsteps moving in the hallway as the guards changed.
