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.

Fairbanks is a town where people don't talk much. Silence surrounds the civilians like a halo; there are many secrets and gaps in memories; insomniacs walk through the harsh cold in the middle of the night. Tessa Montgomery hates the silence in Fairbanks, but when she and her best friend encounter Jo, a bruised, anorexic boy, in the wee hours of the morning in the middle of the woods, the silence is broken. Suddenly, it is loud. Too loud for Tessa to understand the familiar pull in her chest when she finds Jo; too loud to piece together the parts of her life that seem to be missing; too loud to understand the feelings she has for the boy who disappeared years ago. Too loud for her to hear the tiptoes of the shadows lurking the night. Even Fairbanks soon learned to have a voice.
