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.

"I could've killed you right in the moment but when I looked into these sparkling green eyes I knew I would be losing the light of my life if I did" I wanted to feel scared but I couldn't.

"And in this dark life I'm living I need some light Aria, I know I'm being an selfish bastard and putting you in danger, but please stay with me and I'll give you everything you want and protect you with my life" "I can't-" "Please save me Aria" I could swear I saw a tear escaping his eye before he cupped my face and smashed his lips on mine.

I feel his dirty hands touch me once more and move up higher to my thighs. I try to jerk them away but he locks my arms in his hand above my head as a thousand hot tears leave my eyes. No...no...please... I shut my eyes, not wanting to see this face another time. I shudder in disgust as he brings his lips to my neck and starts kissing me. Suddenly, I hear a groan of pain and I get free of his disgusting hands. I don't feel him on me but I don't dare to open my eyes. Another moan is heard again and a punch. I open my eyes and see him kneeling and bleeding. I watch at the boy who saved me and he hits him hard as more blood floods from his lips and nose. It's so dark and my tears don't allow me to see my angel. My savior moves as his fist connects with his face and my angel's hair glow under the moonlight and I stop breathing. Corbyn? The boy falls to the ground unconscious as Corbyn hits him in the jaw for the tenth time. His eyes move to my glossy ones and without any thought, he comes to me and wraps his arms around my body tightly. And just like that, I start crying harder as I bury my head in his neck and tug hard in this shirt. He doesn't say a word, he just pulls me closer to him and leaves me to surrender to this cathartic cry that overwhelms me. My brain stops working and the only word that exists is 'save'. I open my mouth and after so many weeks, the first words that slip my lips between cries and sobs are "You...you saved me" ----- Amelia is a young girl with a simple life and plans for her bright future.

"I told you before kitten, I don't like you going out with guys that aren't me." He said while he had me pressed against the school wall while I was waiting for Isabelle to pick me up. "And I like I told you in the Janitor's closet you pulled me in earlier. I don't give a rat's ass. You don't own me. I am nothing of yours so you can't control me. I do what I want when I want got it?" He chuckled and pressed closer to me. "Actually, you may not be anything of me but you are mine. You were the moment you bumped into me in the kitchen the other day, so believe me when I say you are mine and there is no way you could change that. Go out with Sam but get this through your pretty little brown haired head." He said while he gently poked it. "At the end of the day you come home to see me.

She never thought she'd wear an England shirt. At sixteen, Olivia "Liv" Brooks is a quiet Arsenal academy midfielder who spends more time doubting her talent than celebrating it. An unexpected call-up to the England Under-17s should be the happiest moment of her life-but to Liv, it feels like the beginning of being found out. Then everything changes. After impressing the senior coaching staff at St George's Park, she's given a chance no one saw coming: a place in the England Lionesses camp. Surrounded by the players she's spent years looking up to, Liv is convinced she doesn't belong. Every misplaced pass feels like proof she's made it there by mistake. Every team meeting brings another wave of anxiety. And every day becomes a battle between the footballer everyone else can see... and the one she can't. But sometimes, all it takes is one person to notice you're struggling-and for Liv, that person is Leah Williamson. As Liv slowly finds friendship, support, and the courage to ask for help, she begins to realise that bravery isn't about never being scared-it's about showing up anyway.
